Haha... Brewers fans to take over Wrigley?
SouthSideRyan replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
100 fans?? -
yes, plz, let's get Elijah Dukes, Lastings Milledge and Milton Bradley in the same clubhouse. What exactly has Lastings Milledge done to deserve being lumped in with those 2? Pissed off the old white guys in the Mets locker room?

Abreu to the Angels?
SouthSideRyan replied to inari's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
This is my sentiment. This is the first time in many, many years that players have become the bargains they are this offseason. Hendry should not be faulted for signing Bradley regardless of what Dunn or Abreu signed for. The Miles signing is bad because it's a 2-year deal for Aaron Freaking Miles, not because of the other bargains to be had. I don't really think anybody is faulting him for signing Bradley in this thread. I noyl brought him up because that guy brought up outfielders and how they is no market for them. I'm talking about Miles being a bad signing. But the Miles signing is a bad signing regardless of what Abreu got. Abreu could have gotten 4/40 and I'd still think Miles was a bad signing. Miles isn't a bad signing because we're paying him 2.5 million this year. It's a bad signing because he's Aaron Miles. But it's worse in the context of the market in general. Abreu and Miles aren't a direct comparison, but Abreu's just example 99 of how bad that Miles contract is. -
PSU had a weak nonconference too, so they need a 4-2 finish or a run to the finals of the BTT to get to the bubble. It's still possible(hold serve at home, win @ Iowa), but they're probably 7th in the pecking order about even with Michigan and the Big Ten would be extremely fortunate to get 7 bids.

We were probably lucky that Kruger left when he did.

Was Miles paid in rupees? Of course Miles has something to do with Abreu. Every dollar spent on him was a dollar that could've been spent on any of 500 players better than him. Included in that group is Abreu. -
Trent played 18 minutes/game for a pretty good mid-major as a freshman. Don't be ridiculous.

TURK WENDELL!! And as funny as is it is that Wendell is accusing Sammy, he was his teammate and even he only offers inuendo and speculation. He never once says somebody heard Sammy talk about it or that someone in the clubhouse saw Sammy juicing. As small as the Cubs clubhouse is and as divisive as Sammy was there, you'd think if he were doing it, someone would know and someone would talk. Same thing about Mark Grace who loathed the guy for stealing his spotlight.

Heh, I should have just quoted that myself, since I knew you'd do that. :) I still don't think their overall profile is better than last year if they lose to Butler and don't win the conference tournament. I think it's about equal/a little worse which should make them no worse than a 12 seed.

On the downside, the whole AIDS thing. I'm not saying I want to be Robbie Alomar. I'm just saying I wish I were a MLB player. It's a guarantee for hot tail. Pick up a guitar. Guitar > baseball for tail. probably better for AIDS acquisition too.

Last year, they also went a total of 23-0 against their conference and had the longest winning streak in the country going into the tournament, just to get a 10 seed. Neither of those two will happen this year. It's the equivalent of saying "If Davidson wins out, they're a lock". Well, obviously. Any team fits that criteria. Right now, though, they're not a likely tournament team, let alone a lock. They have an RPI of 50 this year as opposed to 35 last year. They'd have still been within at-large range with 1 conference loss last year. This year, I'm saying they won't add more than 1 more, and have wins over actual teams to cushion that blow. What's the difference between losing to College of Charleston this year and Western Michigan last year? Not a whole hell of a lot.

Mizzou's losing Lawrence, Lyons, and Carroll. We really shouldn't lose to them next year.
-
Yep, I keep coming back to last year where they were a 10 seed with losses to Western Michigan, Charlotte, and NC State and 2 nonconference wins total. This year they're 7-3 noncon with wins over West Virginia and NC St. Two trip ups against conference opponents and a loss to Butler isn't going to keep them out.

I will say, I'm fairly confident Hank Aaron didn't have AIDS.

Add MSU following their depantsing of Minnesota. 17-26 remain. Villanova, Illinois, and Missouri are in. 14-23 remain.

It's IU being terrible to some extent, but it's also not having a top team the caliber of Oklahoma. Haha, or not. Pomeroy, not a fan of Oklahoma.

You guys are forgetting that Aaron was probably on amphetamines too. But that's okay because he didn't hit 73 HRs. Therefore Alex Sanchez and Manny Alexander are also ok. -
Here's a video of us beating you in case you missed it. Link Does any known video exist of you beating us? Lol let them have their day. Great effort by the Tigers last night, even better that it was against Self. Add to the win the fact that it will help Illinois' RPI and I am quite excited for Mizzou. Congrats on getting back to the tourney barring a huge collapse. Oh yeah, I was pulling for Mizzou and congrats to them, it's just fun to talk a bout the 92 game win streak.

He called the statement insane, not the manager. Whether the statement is insane is debatable though. Most guys can fake corner OF.

To be fair, Missouri shouldn't have been ranked where they were to being with.
