  1. yeah, after seeing all the comprehensive evidence laid out as it has been, i tend to agree. girls want easy money to go shopping and get manicures and stuff. that's all the evidence i need
  2. so if the girl reported this to the police on september 30th, how is this just now coming out?
  3. I take back anything bad I said about Theo. have you seen joe mauer's contract? new regime, same old crap
  4. i have dibs on opening day 2014 when the cubs might be good
  5. http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS3oRSBrfa-DPM87dmQv3BBox8pLiJoXstcL426C656HnLmtmwIXQ
  6. and, in a great change of pace from the hendry regime, it was wonderful hearing theo say that you shouldn't give up on a player who has hit in the minors if they struggle their 1st 100 or so major league at bats.
  7. Jesus what the [expletive] basically he should have just said "we don't think prince fielder is worth the cost to get him, so we'll just stick lahair there, and who knows, stranger things have happened"
  8. man i was really hoping a fan would ask "how does committing over 1 million dollars to reed johnson help the cubs short or long term?" i do think theo will turn this ship around, i just wish i had more patience.
  9. I'm rooting for the Bengals. When was the last year they won a playoff game again? I know yet lost in 05 and 09 and hadnt made in for a long time before that. 1990
  10. bengals 21 texans 13 we don't need to talk about the patriots game the week after
  11. that has to be one of the worst playoff games ever. SAYS YOU GO BENGALS
  12. Trammell has the greatest disconnect between his vote totals and where he should be. Without looking too much into it, I'd say Raines or Bagwell. If Tim Raines or Jeff Bagwell are HOF I want a refund. Alan Trammell was a great SS but was not even the best of his era. Glad Ronny is in. Really sucks that they found a way the year he died. Not surprising, though. I have predicted this for a long time. People suck. Nothing new. lol
  13. I'm sure Jesus is all the help you need. Angels in the Outfield taught me that he doesn't do pennant clinchers. if this whole saga is an angels in the outfield parallel, then tebow only has months to live :(
  14. minnesotacubsfan sends his bengals support from the grave.
  15. Bengals sold out a home game, and I can watch them on TV! Everyone hop on the Bengals bandwagon and give the NFL equivalent to the Cubs some love. All Sunday games this week Jets @ Dolphins 1:00 CBS Bills @ Patriots 1:00 CBS Titans @ Texans 1:00 CBS Colts @ Jaguars 1:00 CBS Redskins @ Eagles 1:00 FOX Bears @ Vikings 1:00 FOX Panthers @ Saints 1:00 FOX 49ers @ Rams 1:00 FOX Lions @ Packers 1:00 FOX Ravens @ Bengals 4:15 CBS Steelers @ Browns 4:15 CBS Chiefs @ Broncos 4:15 CBS Seahawks @ Cardinals 4:15 FOX Chargers @ Raiders 4:15 CBS Buccaneers @ Falcons 4:15 FOX Cowboys @ Giants 8:20 NBC It sure seems like there's a contradiction in here somewhere and it doesn't make sense, but here are the playoff scenarios according to the internet. Bengals win WC with a win, or loss with Jets loss AND Raiders loss, or Jets loss AND Broncos loss. Broncos win AFC West with win or Raiders loss. No WC possibility. Raiders win AFC West with win and Broncos loss. Win WC with win and Bengals loss AND Titans loss, or Bengals loss AND Jets win. Jets win WC with win and Bengals loss AND Titans loss AND Raiders loss, or Bengals loss AND Titans loss AND Broncos loss. Titans win WC with win and Bengals loss AND Jets win AND Raiders loss, or Bengals loss AND Jets win AND Broncos loss, or Bengals loss AND Jets loss AND Broncos win. Winner of Cowboys @ Giants wins NFC East. GO BENGALS
  16. probably not true, but appealing if true.
  17. i was reading the twitter quotes from theo about t. wood's cost-controlled years and torreyes having an advanced contact tool playing as a teenager in full-season ball and thinking "boy jim hendry really wouldn't have said stuff like this" i will also add that hendry never, ever would have made this trade. marshall is a good player and hendry never grasped the concept of selling high or acquiring young, cost-controlled assets for an asset that is very good but about to become expensive. to be fair, hendry unloading derosa was definitely a sell high move.
  18. They almost certainly wouldn't accept that, but they might accept a 6-7 year deal written so Fielder could opt out after year 3 or 4. 6-7 year deal with an opt out after 3-4 years sounds great if we can backload it. $18m., $20m., $22m., $24m., $26m., $28m., $30m with opt out after 3 years. it sure wouldn't be great if prince starts to suck
  19. so did the reds' farm system officially go from 'pretty good' to 'kind of bad' after the latos and marshall trades?
  20. wow, torreyes is very intriguing. thx jed and theo.
  21. dejesus will outproduce the .262 /.332/.397 line cubs right fielders put up last season
  22. i felt bad for gary johnson so i voted for him
  23. cost controlled league average left handed starter. i'm going to assume that theo and jed were mainly interested in the prospects, so i won't judge yet
  24. trade is agreed to according espnchicubs on twitter. no word on minor leaguers yet
