    Pena hasn't spent any significant time hurt. He spent half of '05 in the minors cause the Tigers demoted him, then signed a couply minor league contracts with the Yankees and Boston in '06.

    I don't get why we do this... it's an entire season and months are just arbitrary intervals of time. We need to bench Pena for those 2 months! And Fukudome every day but opening day!!

    Dumb. It's not dumb. I could see a great marketing opportunity with Galaragga and Milt Pappas. Maybe on one of Galaragga's off nights him and Pappas can sit in the stands behind home plate and heckle the home plate ump all night. Hopefully Gallaraga pitches one wild it shoots through the screen and hits Pappas in the face.

    I'm shocked our front office would pay that much for a guy with that batting average
  5. SouthSideRyan
    Carr coached that game.

    This was RichRod's 3rd year at Michigan

    I don't get this unless you want to have an opening to offer Pujols half the ticket sales in '11.

    Anything less than 15-5 would be mildly disappointing, worse than 12-8 would be a [expletive] disaster

    Move Fukudome to 1b and let him start the first half of the season with Laroche coming off the bench. Switch them up during the 2nd half of the season. Find new RF who's not Tyler Colvin. Actually, I'd bench Fukudome once the calendar hits May. Last year was his first bad May

    I blame Mark Dantonio

    Maybe the Bulls can move to Seattle

    The Cubs aren't signing Konerko no matter the cost. They want a left-handed 1B
  13. SouthSideRyan
    I don't if that's exactly how I put it. I probably said that they wouldn't trade him and I certainly was wrong. However, I'm not the one that will be facing a huge backlash for doing so. That's all on the ownership and GM of the Padres. Good luck selling tickets this year, boys! Last year was the 2nd lowest attendance in Petco history. How much worse can it get than barely drawing 20,000 as a first place team against an in-state rival?

    Why do we need to rush to sign Adam LaRoche??
  15. SouthSideRyan
    Ricketts seems like an odd choice.
  16. SouthSideRyan
    An Ok reliever and a rich man's Ryan Shealy?
  17. SouthSideRyan
    I'll go with 1/8 with a second year vesting option of 10 mill if he hits certain plateau's......Most likely RBI based(signifying the Cub's diligent usage of metrics) Can't be performance based. Would have to be PAs or ABs or Games played, etc.

    2/17

    Guess the stupid contract!!
  20. SouthSideRyan
    The Twins have a payroll pushing 100M. They can afford to commit to players long term with that kind of wiggle room. You don't tie up 1/3 of your payroll on 1 player. And why would they get a similar package for 2 months of Gonzalez compared to a full season? That's a myth along the lines of contract years, pixies, and Blockbuster Video.
  21. SouthSideRyan
    6.3m to be exact. And look how they fixed that problem. :hello: I meant 2012, when he'll cost 20M+

    2 MORE SLIP PAST HENDRY'S DONUT STAINED FINGERS
  23. SouthSideRyan
    He had an ERA over 5 in AA and gave up a ton of hits. And he's never really had dominant strikeout numbers. Given that he was a first round pick of the Red Sox and was once a two way player, he's probably overrated. Also, since he's on the Padres the chances of him dominating the Cubs for a decade are not all that great. Maybe he'll face them once a year, possibly twice, and almost certainly never in the playoffs. The Padres apparently can't afford anyone that makes over $400K, so maybe a quarter of a decade. As soon as his arby bonuses kick in, it's time to cut bait. Yeah Adrian Gonzalez was gonna be really cheap next year.

    Tom Crean is not interested in the Michigan football job.
  25. SouthSideRyan
    It honestly took me a few minutes before I realized this was about Cliff
