    Hopefully Benchwarmer can put together a nice mock write-up on those organizational meetings. I can hardly wait.

    :roll: He's a white guy, what's with the eyeroll?

    lol. I am not sure why people are ripping on this post. It does look odd considering what he signed for but I've often thought that is how Hendry does his negotiating with relievers. Funny stuff Yeah, I chuckled when I read it. Are you 2 [expletive] serious?
  4. SouthSideRyan
    This joke never stops being funny. Bravo my friend, bravo. Just amazing.
  5. SouthSideRyan
    We should sign Kenny Lofton

    apparently he recently told thibodeau that he wants a job. i also read somewhere yesterday that the bulls supposedly have kicked around the idea Stop trying to steal my heroes

    So louky, what outside of Hendry not giving him a managerial job in '07 would convince you otherwise. No matter what you think of Hendry, it seems outlandish that he decided on a successor manager for Lou while he was hiring him, with that successor being a guy with no experience at just about anything. I don't doubt that Sandberg assumed he was being groomed for the big league job, but that's his fault, not the Cubs organization. If we've learned anything from Hendry over the past 8 years, it's that he's loyal and a players/manager/coaches/etc GM. I'm just not seeing it.

    Can we at least live in the real world while discussing this stuff? You don't get a playoff without getting the blessing of the BCS conferences, and you sure as [expletive] don't get the blessing from the BCS schools when you're guaranteeing them as many spots as the [expletive] Sun Belt and charred corpse of the WAC

    Recent trend? This has been their strategy for many years. They can't afford the pricy free agents, so they sign the leftovers to 1 or 2 year deals and then hope that those veterans are enough of an improvement to put a few more butts in the seats and then hope they play well enough to get decent value for them at the deadline. This was essentially the Chicago Cubs on the 70's/80's/90's, as well as the reason Pittsburgh's downfall has lasted so long. Teams are wary of selling complete youth movements so they spend some on bums. Tampa did it a lot in their early years as well. The problem with the Pirates was they didn't have any youth to sell even if they wanted to. It's astonishing how awful their farm system was forever with so many top 10 draft picks.

    How is Harden a head case? Guys that get hurt are pussies
  11. SouthSideRyan
    And then the 2nd round could be 11 on 11 on 11!! Triangle football fields!

    Isn't that just an exaggerated version of UConn getting in the Fiesta Bowl? It's a much worse version. And FIU went 6-6 this year, not 7-5, my mistake. UConn isn't getting a chance to play for a national title either. WHAT NEXT? A LOSING RECORD GETTING AN NFL PLAYOFF BERTH? Have at it Derwood. State the case for the Rams/49ers deserving a playoff berth.

    Rapist

    No a closer with a 2.63 ERA probably would've been taken out back and shot.
  16. SouthSideRyan
    I'd be pretty [expletive] pissed if I was the 6th at-large BCS ranked team left out for some awful 7-5 FIU team.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    Forte
  18. SouthSideRyan
    Yeah, but these guys wear batting gloves
  19. SouthSideRyan
    We'll just edit that out later.

    I love seeing the random major leaguers that show up as minor league coaches.

    Orton/Rapist
  22. SouthSideRyan
    He's younger, healthier and not crazy? Can't argue much with the first two, but he's definitely got some of the same personality concerns as Z. Agreed. Those that think swapping Zambrano for Garza would add emotional stability or whatever are probably mistaken. I don't know much about him, but I've never heard him missing time during the season due to emotional outbursts. Probably cause the Rays aren't run by a bunch of spazzes

    $12m for 1 year? you've lost your mind, TT. $11.4M will be deferred though.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    What about the dropoff from Gibson to Asik? And Asik to Scalabrine?
  25. SouthSideRyan
    Pay ALL the schools?? So you're saying I can get 4 million dollars every 5 years in exchange for a guarantee that I'll go to your playoff? SIGN ME UP
