  1. a knicks team that the night before got run out of MSG by the Bulls 2nd unit
  2. Well, you never know.... Winston could get caught on camera killing a hooker and be suspended, though since it's FSU it would probably only be a couple quarters
  3. apparently had been fighting lung cancer for two years before all this happened.
  4. what a play by Cutler to get rid of that
  5. please for the love of all that is holy do not throw it short of the end zone under any circumstances
  6. glad they didn't screw that one up
  7. Pereira can get lost... saying that wasn't a penalty when Cutler got hit after the whistle... everyone else stopped playing because they heard the whistle so it's not an excuse
  8. that's a load of crap... how do they not have the reverse angle down the goal line?
  9. that has to touch the line
  10. did he get the nose of the ball in there?
  11. that's two ridiculous personal foul calls this drive... embarrassing refereeing this game on both sides
  12. good grief, can we have a few more injuries possibly?
  13. that looked a lot like a penalty on Graham on that coverage of Holmes
  14. just throw it away Jay
  15. Schwarber and Zagunis can't be traded til June, so they won't be part of a deal for Stanton if it happens.... And including Vitters and Maples, lol
  16. Any of those four could very well be each of those respective things, but I think we're being a bit overzealous to think that this is a low end prediction of how all four will turn out. A pessimistic prediction may be that one becomes an all star, two are solid mlb players, and one flames out. someone's sarcasm meter is broken
  17. Welcome. And, yeah, in neither case did they really have to give up all that much to add that ace, especially in Price's case with an extra year of control. On the other hand, "the boy genius" did manage to get quite a haul for his pitchers, one of which he basically picked up off the scrap heap. Oh and then there's that guy pitching like a top 10 pitcher in baseball that they basically got off the scrap heap for another guy they got off the scrap heap. Thanks for agreeing that pitching is the bottom line. The reason the Cubs got quite a haul for their pitchers is that many teams are willing to overpay for pitching. You don't see many teams overpaying for some scrap-heap OF that had a few good months. No, you don't see teams overpaying for hitting because the cost of hitters on the level of Price and Samardzija and Lester aren't available at all because hitting is more valuable. Here's a list of the best hitters who could be free agents this year (like Lester will be). You tell me which ones might be anywhere close to as valuable as Lester List according to Cot's First Basemen Billy Butler * Adam Dunn Michael Cuddyer Victor Martinez Second Basemen Ben Zobrist * Shortstops J.J. Hardy Jed Lowrie Hanley Ramirez Third Basemen Chase Headley Casey McGehee Aramis Ramirez * Pablo Sandoval Catchers Russell Martin Outfielders Melky Cabrera Nelson Cruz Michael Cuddyer Nick Markakis * Colby Rasmus Alex Rios * Josh Willingham I look at that list and see plenty of guys who can make teams better, but very few who would command much of a trade return. The best hitters are locked up to long term deals and will not be traded except probably for other bats
  18. I'm not very knowledgeable about the youth divisions of the MNT, which player would that be?
