    That would be me, and yes, Warren Carter has definitely proven himself far more worthless. I really can't stand him.
  2. SouthSideRyan
    If anyone's in Champaign, I'll be at Legend's. Come buy me a beer and listen to me hate on Warren Carter.
  3. SouthSideRyan
    Salisbury's a tool.
  4. SouthSideRyan
    Capuano? Did his one above average year with poor peripherals really establish him as anything??
  5. SouthSideRyan
    Gambling on baseball was against the rules of baseball. Taking steroids was not.
  6. SouthSideRyan
    He hasn't been a good reliever since '02. This is good news, as hopefully he'll block a younger guy with more potential to do something.

    JUST ahead of the NL West? The NL West is still horrible and the Cards are still the best team in the NL. I'd take the Cards, Cubs, Stros, and Brewers over any team in the NL West.

    I'm just gonna keep posting it until you all believe it, or he starts doing something worthwhile. Warren Carter is the worst basketball player I've ever seen in my entire life.
  9. SouthSideRyan
    The Brewers are criminally overrated.
  10. SouthSideRyan
    Well, he's still 10 years shy of his prime.

    Dusty, why was Jose Macias, a player that the organization has deemed not worthy of a roster spot this season put in a crucial defensive position last year and placed as a tablesetter in the lineup?
  12. SouthSideRyan
    I believe that's former Pirate Mackowiack.

    I'd use steroids if they could launch me into space. Pretty sure you're wrong about that, though Wrong about what? If you are too naive to think there is a possibility that Sammy used steroids to put up the numbers he did, then possibly you are the one that is wrong.

    I hadn't thought about it until just now, but this is actually very important that Dusty gets grilled at the Convention. He is incredibly fragile, and if he is grilled relentlessly by the fans, he might just not want to come back next year. Please Cubs convention goers, for the good of the franchise, BE BRUTAL!!

    You don't like what I say? Refute it, then. But I cannot let that comment pass. Here's some baseball knowledge for you: The Cubs passed on Jim Thome in 2003. They went cheap with Choi, and paid the price (figuratively speaking). 47 HRs and 131 RBIs help any and every team, even the 2003 Cubs. They needed that production, and instead they had to settle for Randall Simon and the rest down the stretch. But they had a chance to get more and they passed. Share some of your baseball knowledge with me, why don't you? No need for hostility. A lot of the things you've posted have been discussed ad nauseum on the site, which could explain why a lot of people dont' feel like going over their points again. Might I add you haven't refuted the point about the money going to Thome preventing the additions of Lofton and Ramirez later on. The Cubs had one of the top payrolls in '03, and reasonable expectations didn't have them contending for the World Series that year, therefore it would've been foolish to tie up so much money to an old declining player when the window of oppurtunity just didn't look to be there in '03. It's revisionist history to talk about Thome with regards to the '03 playoffs.

    I'm pretty sure this isn't true. Furcal wasn't going to take 5/50 instead of 4/52, nor should he. He came back to the Cubs to see if they'd match the offer, but I'm almost positive he wasn't willing to settle for what should likely turn out to be about 15M less.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    It seems that for whatever reason Dusty views Hairston as an OF, which now after realizing that, makes me worry about Murton in LF.
  18. SouthSideRyan
    They did beat a decent Minnesota team on the road though. Weird. If it helps at all Jon, Penn St. has only lost to borderline tourney and above teams. Then again you're their best win by far.
  19. SouthSideRyan
    Well that was just a horrendous coaching job by Brey down the stretch.
  20. SouthSideRyan
    Looks like back to AAA for JVB. Wonder if Tavarez will voice his opinion on Massachusetts's gay marraige laws.
  21. SouthSideRyan
    Washington might be the worst park for Sammy to play in. If I were him, I'd probably go to Colorado and see if they'd give me anything, just to try and artificially preserve my legacy somewhat.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    I understand your point, but those things were far from twigs back then.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    What's Wainright's deal? Is he over his injuries?
  24. SouthSideRyan
    What are teh Astros gonna do with 15M this late in the offseason besides pocket it? Billy Wagner was right.
  25. SouthSideRyan
    It may be time to reevaluate whether Oklahoma is very good. The Big 12 picture keeps looking worse.
