    Yeah, I can't see them meeting much competition. Metallica is taking somebody out. I doubt that -- IMO the best thing Metallica ever did was cover the Misfits' Last Caress. The 1-seeds will b####-slap Metallica.

    A possible explanation of what was said to Zidane: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=395046&in_page_id=1770 Another angle of the hit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2slJ9CBnk0

    The trade deadline is gonna suck. Watching other teams get players the Cubs could really use will remind me of when the Cubs were terrible and made no effort to get Scott Rolen when he was available.

    wheras I think The Clash is the most overrated piece of crap ever. "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" Easy answer. GOOOOOO!!! Over-rated? You're nuts. Besides the song you mentioned, here are a few reasons why The Clash rocks: White Riot London's Burning Clash City Rockers Career Opportunities Police & Thieves Janie Jones (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais English Civil War Tommy Gun Safe European Home Stay Free I Fought The Law London Calling The Guns Of Brixton Clampdown Rudie Can't Fail Lost In The Supermarket Jimmy Jazz Train In Vain Bankrobber The Magnificent Seven Somebody Got Murdered This Is Radio Clash Rock The Casbah Straight To Hell <<---- Where you can go if you disagree with me on this :D :D :D

    The fact that this poll is this close (even after only 11 votes) is disheartening....... IMO, after the usual suspects (Beatles, Stones, etc), the Clash may be one of the best bands ever. Very sad NSBB, very sad. :(

    The fact that CCR is currently winning is criminal. Have you people actually listened to Radiohead? Seen them perform live?

    Predictions: I will be starting tomorrow's game thread. I will not be starting this Saturday's game thread.
  18. WindyCity
    Either way, IMO this thread belongs in Transactions. Otherwise we'd have transactions all over the place.

    Would I? I'm up for trading just about anybody from this organization, and Barrett is not free from that list. If they could get a good young catcher, and they had a manager who could deal with having a young catcher, I'd be all for it. Who do you want for manager? Is there a place to look and see what types of guys are available and what they believe/theories are? I want a catcher that get it to second in 1.5 and hit 330/440. Is that too much to ask? :lol: No problem. Let me see what I got in back. Miguel Cabrera for catcher! :D

    Moving anyone is fine, but Hendry has proven to be totally inept when it comes to receiving valuable prospects in return for ML players. It seems that I'm a rare Hendry fan, but this is an area where he is clearly clueless. I would hope that Wilken would participate in the evaluation of prospects in any deal with Toronto --- I'm sure he knows exactly who to ask for from that system. I believe the track record for catchers after age 30 is not the greatest (though Barret's late switch to catcher may mean a more delayed decline). That said, trading a productive Barrett at age 29 is a great idea if the Cubs can get 2-3 good prospects out of a farm system that has emphasized plate discipline and OBP (qualites that to date have been completely foreign to the Cubs). I highly doubt they would move Barrett just to shake things up -- but he does represent one of the more valuable pieces that they could deal and get real good value in back in terms of prospects.

    Larry will be the scapegoat -- everyone else stays till the end of the year (at least). Larry will then wonder why the heck he didn't take that Tigers job when he had the chance.

    IMO this injury increases the odds that he goes pro as soon as he is eligible. If you have a chance at guaranteed millions, you cannot take a chance that another injury would make that winning lottery ticket vanish. He can always go back and get his degree if its that important to him.

    How exactly does one "showcase" Glendon Rusch? Kinda like this: http://www.mypkhome.com/pig/pig-20.jpg

    FORZA ITALIA!!!!!! :D May the best cuisine win. Italy v. France for the final. I'm all for Klinsmann to be the next coach of the USMNT. The style of play of Germany this Cup was highly entertaining (and effective for the most part).
  25. WindyCity
    This is the correct answer. Let's hope the A's win it all. :D
