  1. Well he was born in Amsterdam, and will now play for New Amsterdam, so there's logic for you :wink:
  2. Are you cold?
  3. Glad to hear he'll come cheap - Brian Roberts got 309 pages and still didn't sign. (yes, I know it was going to be a trade deal)
  4. The only plausible explanation I can come up with is they have a replacement in the bag (but not yet announced)
  5. If any roster moves are made, it'll probably be to make room for someone the Cubs want to select in the draft, not to protect any additional player on that list.
  6. Random news from Euro 2016 qualifyers: San Marino (FIFA ranking 208 - dead last tied with Bhutan) drew Estonia 0-0 at home, gaining their first point ever after losing all 60 previous Euro qualifying games. Liechtenstein won away at Moldova 0-1 :shock:
  7. Alberto Mineo was called up by the Italian team for the upcoming 21U Baseball World Cup in Taichung.
  8. He's got a lot of money. He'd get it done if he wanted. Maybe he's got a lot of money because he doesn't want to :wink:
  9. For me, he lost his credibility when he used the "centuries old" hyperbole. The English FA may have existed since 1863, but the differences between say Germany (1900), Spain (1909) and the USA (1913) are quite small.
  10. UEFA should declare both sides to have lost the game by a forfeit score and move on.
  11. Frankly, I don't see the connection.
  12. I love this footage of Bosnian and Belgian soccer fans exchanging scarfs and flags after yesterday's Euro qualifyer in Zenica: http://sporza.be/permalink/1.2119068 (hope that link works for you guys)
  13. Y'all missed the USA becoming women's volleyball world champions for the very first time this weekend. Great performances to beat Brazil in the semis and China in the final.
  14. Muskat on twitter: Confirmed by Bruce Miles: Doesn't the timing indicate that the Cubs were attempting/hoping to slip him through? :-k
  15. 25 years ago today, Antwerp staged one of the greatest miracle comebacks in European soccer against Vitosha Sofia in the then UEFA cup. Trailing 1-3 after 90 minutes, they scored three goals in added time to win 4-3 and go through to the next round. 8-) The local TV coverage of those minutes is priceless.
  16. I've seen that Garza dude before, but he was wearing a different outfit. :wink:
  17. So what do you do when you score for AS Roma? You go hug your grandma in the stands! 8-) https://mtc.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/07D87156381125462306491621376_2a1485d2a4e.5.1.5623513911903393717.mp4?versionId=Sad6EkNi7ULHKqt0CLG7q4Fv.vmAisWO
  18. I already contacted a friend in Nort Carolina to prepare a trip out there next year - we'll probably try to catch them in Zebulon when they play the Mudcats.
  19. Thanks, Raisin, these have been my favourite NSBB threads to read for the last couple of years.
  20. They are making an excellent effort; they passed the Red Sox and are closing in on the Twins for the #5 spot.
  21. Lol yes, this Gotta secure that high draft pick.
  22. And Anthopolous bringing up Norris just to pitch out of the pen? For what 0.4 wins? Worst of all are these 2 dopes in Chicago who brought up Alcantara, Baez, and Soler all in a lost season I know you know the Soler situation is different, as has been explained a couple of times already.
  23. Looks like I need to schedule a trip next year :D
  24. Live commentary of the Germany-Scotland game when Muller stopped a possible counter in the final minutes by pulling down a player by the shoulders: "That has to be at least a wasa-ari" :lol: (he got a yellow card for his effort)
