  1. I don't even remember who is on my team anymore
  2. A joke or you mistook Atkins for Stevens (who isnt' on the roster)? Stephens came up today.....maybe Andy traveled one day into the future
  3. I thought OleMissCub had cornered the market on girlfriends being stolen by major league pitchers
  4. Luckily for us, the Astros and Wandy are coming into town at the right time. welp
  5. But all things weren't equal. Cleveland had the best player in the game. And they still couldn't get anyone to play there. If all these vets are (supposedly) willing to play for peanuts in Miami, why wouldn't they do the same to play in Cleveland? Rhetorical question, BTW
  6. All things being equal, players will always choose cool cities over cleveland
  7. And Jamesapproved it because his first 50 choices didn't/wouldn't come. No one wants to play in that city
  8. LeBron had significant input on all those transactions. And he also hamstrung the team by taking shorter contracts himself. Oh come on. You think Cleveland management went to James to see who he wanted and he said Jamison?
  9. This all seems to be a pretty bad indictment of Cleveland. LeBron is the best player in the league, yet the Cavs couldn't get anyone to play with him. If you're LeBron and the best your team can do for you is a broken Shaq and a fifty year old Antawn Jamison, wouldn't you leave too?
  10. The current CBA allows for non-guaranteed contracts, but no one ever offers them (as no one will sign them). Same with MLB, if you can believe it
  11. We'll always have he ESPN made for tv mini-series to remember him by
  12. Wasn't that Jason Bere? Or did he have a different special pitch? Ah, you may be right. So tough to keep all of those mediocre late 90's pitchers straight
  13. I can't wait for Wade's shoulder to explode and for that team go be starting two replacement level players every night
  14. as has the NBA slam dunk competition
  15. Spain's "ball control" style was like watching college basketball teams pass around the arc for 30 seconds before shooting
  16. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
  17. all of them
  18. STONEWALLED
  19. nothing is going to happen about this it's not impossible, contracts have been nullified before and teams punished. if it's believed that player collusion happened, they can penalize miami and force the players to go elsewhere. which would be awesome. right, but finding proof is nearly impossible besides hearsay, so it won't happen
  20. nothing is going to happen about this
  21. Frank Castillo's "Fosh", IMO
  22. I think the day games are more of a factor in the teams keeping a consistent schedule. When you have a 1:20pm game, you are at the ballpark relatively early in the morning. When your games are at 7pm, you get to the ballpark in the early to mid afternoon. Most teams play 5-6 night games per week, plus a Sunday matinee, so their week-to-week "work" schedule is fairly consistent (traveling between timezones notwithstanding, as every team has to do that). So basically, most teams consistently work the 2nd shift, while the Cubs are constantly switching between the 1st and 2nd shift.
  23. So is this contest canceled since da bum was banned?
  24. I've seen mention of Josh Childress, who played overseas last season. any thoughts?
