  1. i think he suggested aram for manny and bill mueller a couple seasons ago. and to stone's credit, the cubs would at least be getting a good hitter back.
  2. aram for izturis might be the worst trade of all time.
  3. too bad todd walker didn't say this publicly, then he might have been traded to a contender and start having fun playing basebal
  4. your eyeroll has convinced me
  5. "i bought my ticket in february. oops."
  6. derrek lee needs to keep his mouth shut and focus on the game.
  7. BANDWAGON FANS seriously, are we just now rooting for them because they have the best record in baseball? how lame can you get?
  8. i hope the tigers lose
  9. I agree, which is why I've stated Ozzie is a moron for using that word.
  10. Let's say he called someone in the media, say Dan Jiggets, a derragatory term for a black man (the same one Rocker used). What would the media's reaction be to this? To me they're all the same. Bigoted hateful words aren't any better than any other. Dispicable. that word can only be used in a racist way. you wouldn't call a white guy that out of anger and hatred for the guy. calling someone a [expletive] (and i can't stress enough how much of an idiot ozzie is for using that word, and he deserves to be shamed in the media for it) does not necessarily mean "i hate you because you are homosexual". i'm just answering the question posed in the subject. rocker's comments were made out of genuine hatred for the groups he was lambasting. ozzie's comments were made because he's a moron. That's absolutely ridiculuous. You're just making stuff up now. i guess things are different where you're from. if i ever hear that word, it's used as a horrible slur against a black man. i never hear it used casually as an insult to some non-black person.

I heartily disagree. And believe me, I know. When I'm called a [expletive], there is NOTHING but hate behind that. When my male friends are called [expletive], there is nothing but hate behind that too. I can't see any instance where words like that don't have hate and ignorance in their intent. a guy will call another guy a [expletive] even if he's 100% sure he's straight. to some dumb guys, it's the same as calling a guy a "wuss" or a "[expletive]". and i agree, it's an awful, horrible thing to say, and it's inexcusable.
  12. I hear the n word used far more frequently than the f word. not me.
  13. you have to be IN a soccer stadium to understand.

  15. http://www.nbc.com/Late_Night_with_Conan_O YOUR COMPLETELY FALSE
  16. there is a difference. clearly and explicitly saying you hate new york city because you run into a gay man on the subway is blatantly horrible and homophobic and said out of fear and hatred of gays. calling jay mariotti a [expletive] when he's mad is stupid and childish, but doesn't really mean he hates and fears gays.
  17. wtg shaq!
  18. one of the reasons i love dunn is because i saw him play for the dayton dragons.
  19. houshmandzadeh will lead you to the promised land
  20. todd helton's homerun power = gone
  21. Just a nitpick, but no one thought it was a bad idea to extend Kerry Wood when we did at the time. He was coming off 2 healthy, very productive seasons in a row. It didn't work out, but hindsight is 20/20.
  22. cubs fans shouldn't be making fun of other teams that don't win championships.
  23. didn't the devil rays sweep the yankees last year, or something similar to that?
  24. ...in the rain with a 4 run lead.
