Otherwise known as the Glenallen Hill Clause.

I hate missing the playoffs because other people wouldn't overpay you. I blame everyone else in the league for my demise. :twisted:
-
Actually, no they can't. Since he'd be a free agent the Cubs would not own his rights to be able to trade him. They could re-sign him and trade him after May 1, but they could not trade him in the off-season. -
Nothing like playing out the string after being in playoff position most of the year. At least I have one thing to play for. If I win I'll have my first winning season since joining Roadkill (I did have one 11-11 season a couple of years ago). So like a Cubs fan, trying to find solace in being over .500.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 8-30-2009

About frickin' time. -
I didn't want to start a separate thread for this, but I had a draft tonight with the 2nd pick (14 team league). The person with the 1st pick inexplicably picked Peyton Manning, so after I recovered from my shock I got AP. I also got Greg Jennings (2nd round) and Philip Rivers (3rd), so I feel good about my top players at the skill positions.

I've started a group for the Yahoo College Football Pick'em contest (using confidence points). Group ID, 17455; password, gocubs. I'm also in an NFL Pick'em group (straight picks). The commissioner said to invite others, so I didn't see the need to set up a separate group specifically for NSBB. That group ID is 34563 and the password is azcardswin (at least he's a Cub fan). He also plans to start a Survival Football group; I'll post details then.

Sounds like you NEED a vacation, then.

Which Team Says No
NCCubFan replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
You wouldn't be paying $12 million for Cordero, you would be paying the difference between Cordero and Bradley. If the "experts" are right, the Cubs will weaken their team (dump Bradley) and most likely add payroll (paying Bradley plus a replacement). The question is should we receive something useful in return. First let me explain that my original post was based on the absolute declarations by the "experts" (writers and broadcasters) that Bradley has to be removed from this team and that Hendry is going to have to eat a huge chunk (80% ?) of his remaining contract. Rather than paying $7 million next year and $10 million in 2011 for Bradley to play somewhere else while we receive nothing (low A-ball player) in return, I suggested taking Cordero. I totally agree that Bradley (at his salary) is more valuable than Cordero (at his salary), even considering Bradley's baggage. Yeah, but it's still paying $12 mil for a closer. And one who's good, but not great, at that. If he can rediscover the strike zone by next year I think Marmol would be a better closer than Cordero. -
Bye bye playoffs. :( I think I would have rather been out of it by the trading deadline so that I could have played seller and picked up some draft picks.

I'm more interested in Duncan than LaRussa. If Duncan is really willing to cut the apron strings and go elsewhere regardless of what LaRussa does then I could care less whether LaRussa stays or goes.
-
I'm not comfortable with my 15-point lead. Not when I'm out of pitching starts and have Greinke and Rodriguez going against me tomorrow. My playoff hopes seem to be on life support. :(
-
From my perspective on Roadkill I'm a fan of the Kazmir trade. One less potential roadblock standing between Wade Davis and the Rays' rotation next year.

High School Football Coach Ed Thomas shot in Weightroom

And they won the game 30-14. -
In this type of case with Iowa out of it and Tenn in the race, would they ever send guys from Iowa down to Tenn to help out? Ask again when Iowa is actually out of it. They aren't. They're 2 games behind with over a week remaining in the season.
-
Huh? 8 pm EST 7:30 Central ... how is that possible? Which is it? I don't see where I said 7:30. :P Actually I made a typo and fixed it. It is 8:00 ET, 7:00 CT, etc.
-
When, not if. They've clinched a spot; it was mentioned on the Cubs' telecast today.
-
Tampa Bay and I each have two of our remaining starts tonight. Could be a make-or-break night for one of us.

Hope this helps... http://vocaro.com/trevor/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/dvd-playerscreensnapz003.png I remember him best from Hart to Hart (with Stephanie Powers). -
Reminder, the draft is this coming Monday (Aug. 31) at 8:00 P.M. Eastern time (7:00 Central, etc.).

If you wanna make the playoffs...
NCCubFan replied to Clem Fandango's topic in General Baseball Talk
Better to have Marquis implode in the playoffs than to not make the playoffs. -
This is Windermere. are you for real? No, I'm a figment of your imagination.

Sometimes it is just as a feeler to see if there's any interest from other teams. Also, if a team really is interested in trading a player, the team may place several other players on waivers too in order to make it harder to figure out who they really want to trade (it makes it harder for another team to claim a player in order to block a trade).
