There were 0 bleacher tickets available on stubhub this morning, after there were ~500 available yesterday. I'm intrigued as to what happened there. Ambitious broker trying to make 5-10 on each one? But then why buy all the way up to the most expensive tickets? (Cheapest tickets yesterday bounced from 8-15 bucks)
He didn't care about doing well until some buffoon told him he was. Then he felt bad because CUBS FANS ARE THE BEST FANS IN THE WORLD AND THEY DESERVE MY BEST
Soriano and Rose's athleticism helped mask their deficiencies. Those other guys you listed(except Lum who I've never heard of) are some of the worst defensive OFers to put on the uniform. You don't want to give back everything you gain on offense.
Interesting read on the loopholes. I say we set up a handshake agreement with teams friendly to us (Padres?) to sign each other's players for small amounts, then immediately releasing them.
I said as much in the game thread. The crowd was a bunch of stupid pricks who started booing by ball 2. ETA: I don't think he was yelling at the crowd though.
Hey, well, that's not true. lol seriously, what a weird comparison. Look, if you don't think Glen Davis could man the OF, I don't know what to tell you.
I'm mostly working off of CCP's numbers here, but without amnestying Boozer, does dumping Watson, Brewer, Korver do anything? Doesn't that basically ensure pt for Butler and Lucas, since there'll be no cap space to sign replacements?
Even go back to last year with Mike Trout. He got hit twice. The first was by Kevin Gregg in the bottom of the 12th with LA down two, a runner on first and no outs. The second was by Jamey Wright in the top of the 9th with LA up one, a runner on first and two outs. There's no way the first was intentional and I'm going to take an educated guess and say the second wasn't either. Jamey Wright was probably trying to throw an intentional walk.
So? Why is your opinion so significant in the situation? It certainly didn't do anything to prevent the giant incident. Why do you even care? It's FINE to think he's an idiot. People thought Clemens and Gibson were [expletive]...Guess how much that mattered or what tha did to stop them or the general activity? I wouldn't lump Bob Gibson in with Hamels or Clemens. While Gibson was a tough pitcher, who threw inside, he was NEVER called dirty or anything like that. He NEVER went head hunting. He didn't like batters who leaned over the plate and would brush them back. He didn't like for the other team to show off, he'd send a message. Opposing players respected him, feared him but they NEVER called him dirty. Bob Gibson was a [expletive] [expletive] who I wouldn't spit on if he was on fire. I hope he steps on a landmine.

I have opinions about lots of people who can't give a [expletive] about what I think. Bob Gibson IS an [expletive]. Why does it offend you that somebody besides you has an opinion?
