Likely one of his daughters judging by the big mouth and the kiss on the cheek.

If you are going to make posts like this for the first series of the season you should just stop posting until the season is over. Unless you are a Braves fan. Bum, are you taking on the job of telling people when they may and may not post ? If you want to make me a mod, sure. As for A-Cal's post ... if he is a Cubs fan then it is pretty pathetic to say that for the first series of the season. It's would be the exact type of downer Cubs fan who is always negative that I can't stand. If he is a Braves fan or anti-Cubs fan then I understand the post. Wow, call it a prediction. On paper, we have a chance in the first game. After that, I think we are hosed. Sorry if I think the Braves are a little bit better than you apparently believe. The Braves are pretty good but teams don't tend to get swept. The Cubs got swept in a three game series all of once last year.

So it's not the completely different story that Kyle linked then? Can you point me in the right direction or did this former mailroom employee of the FCC sign the same confidentiality agreement all your sources do. I'm pretty sure it was Beech Grove High School but I could care less to try and find the specific one that was talked about in my class form two years ago. Also it isn't my source. It was my professors. He got a copy of the letter either from the school or through the FCC where he used to work.

I thought there was no way you were this dumb but then I realized you are an Illinois fan so now I'm not sure. i just called the fcc and you're going down for this one, buddy seriously, you better get out of your house right now because the fcc is gonna break your door down any minute I'm shakin in my boots. Like I said the FCC would never do it but they could if they really wanted. Maybe you don't know how brutal they are. They once fined an Indiana high school (Beech Grove?) almost $20,000 for missing a station id. This was a station solely run by high school students and didn't really sell ads or anything. It was solely there to get high school students experience. That radio station closed after the fine. The FCC ignores some things and cracks the whip on others. Some of the fines they hand out are borderline criminal. The amount that this story isn't true is immeasurable. If you don't know then just shut up. That story was told in my media law class and showed a power point with the specific letter from the FCC. If you were to just do a little research you would find that the FCC regularly fines high school stations, and all other stations, for relatively minor faults. High school stations tend to have more minor infractions than a professional radio station due to inexperienced DJ's and the such. The FCC doesn't tend to show leiniance towards high school stations and treat them like they would any other station. Anyways back to the NBA ... Scola ended up averaging 20-10 for the month of March (20.6-10.5 to be exact). Also Martin returned tonight for the Rockets and they go on to be blown out by 31 by the Pacers. Awesome. We are 11-12 since he was acquired.

He's softened some as he has aged.

Manny doesn't play RF and hasn't played it much at all compared to LF this decade (991-100). Manny only played RF regularly in 2000 and his only other year with any games at RF is 2001 with 7.

Campbell is a good QB. Not great but he was headed in that direction. McNabb is still a very good QB but likely headed down. He will have to learn a new system which I believe he hasn't had to do in a real long time plus won't have as good of a receiving core, not that Phily's is that great. If you look at the stats Campbell is close to as good as McNabb at this point. QB rating isn't the greatest but McNabb is only 3.9 better over the last two years than Campbell (89.2-85.3) and Campbell is the much more accurate QB. So basically they are giving up a 2nd rd pick in a loaded draft and a 3rd or 4th next year for a QB maybe a little better than their current one. Add in that McNabb is much older, likely to decline soon, a big salary and the fact that McNabb can walk next year leaving the Redskins with no QB and I say this trade was a bad one for the Redskins and it is not particularly close.

If you are going to do something like this you should separate LF, CF and RF.

Good God. I may turn on music and mute the TV because of Morgan. Why the crap does ESPN keep bringing him back. I don't know a single person who likes him. It's not like Bill Walton in that loads of people love him and loads of people hate him. With Morgan there is either hate or ignorance.

Enough dude. Stop trolling. Making one joke is OK. Responding to every post made with a pointless post that adds nothing to the thread and solely posted to further annoy other posters is against the rules. For someone with so few posts you may want to watch it. His post count won't be going any higher. Good. If he was actually adding stuff or opinions then I wouldn't have had a problem with it but his posts had nothing to them other than jabs at the rest of us.

Did I hear wrong or did Orel just say C.C. averaged 260 innings a year over the last three years. Uhhh no Orel.

Normally I would be happy about that but this year I have him in the NSBB Premier League so I have to root for him. Going to be a struggle all season because I don't like him. Well not really him but the hype around him that forces me to hope he fails.

Bullpen.

I would be for it but would support a strong mod of it. Someone post something inappropriate they get a temp ban automatically. No warnings when it comes to videos.

Are blackout's going for this game? If so I am screwed because I live in the immense Atlanta Braves blackout area (4 hrs from Atlanta). I do get WGN but it's not on that channel. Maybe I will have invest in the online thing through MLB (I assume they still have it). I am no longer in Cubs blackout area so I would never be blacked out.

No, you don't. The major-league team does not have a responsibility to give them a chance. The only responsibility the Cubs have is to put the best players on the field. I'm talking about if you ever want them to fully develop into starters. At some point you are going to have to start them without really knowing what to expect because they never have started before. If you never start them and just want to wait until they hit .350 as a reserve then you may wait forever. I'm not saying now is the time. I have already said next year is the time for Colvin (and likely Castro as well). I agree that the responsibility is to play the best possible players. The best maybe to trade Fukudome in return for some bullpen help and put Colvin in until Nady is back.

I thought there was no way you were this dumb but then I realized you are an Illinois fan so now I'm not sure.

Ignoring defense, sure. But like Dunn and Hawpe, their defense really hurts their value and, depending on cost, are possibly less valuable than Kosuke. Kubel: .907 OPS; -20 UZR/150 Cuddyer: .862 OPS; -10.1 UZR/150 Kosuke: .796 OPS; 18.2 UZR/150 (OPS is from 2009; UZR/150 is career as a right fielder) If Kuble can repeat that .907 OPS, then he's definitely on the list. It's nearly 100 points better than he's ever hit before, though. If he drops back to low-.800s, high-.700s like much of his career, Kosuke is better. If I am not mistaken Kubel's lefty vs. righty splits are atrocious. That means Kubel is best sited for splitting the starting duties for a team because when he is batting against the type of pitcher he sucks against he is completely worthless due to his defense. I am not in favor of a bad defensive OF who is worthless against one type of pitcher. I will put in the disclaimer that I have never looked at Dye's nor Giles' splits. Regardless I had forgotten about Nady before so I would just stcik with Colvin for a month. Then when Nady is back if Colvin is struggling go with Nady. Again though this is only if we get to take 9-10 million of the books in a Fukudome trade.

I can't stand this type of crap. They can't prove themselves as long as they can't play. You can't prove yourself to be viable at the MLB level when you only play 1 out of 5 games. I don't prefer to see either prospect starting right now but at some point you have to put them in and see if they sink or swim. I think next year is that year.

worst comparison ever and he spelled "it's" wrong. he really shouldn't be harassing people on spelling and grammar. that said, i wasn't talking to you, freak Actually I didn't. I neglected to type the word "were." Also you never capitalize so you shouldn't be policing people on spelling and grammar either.

Who voted to start over? I never saw any votes for either side really other than my own.

Do you or don't you have Dish? I'm confused.
