That would be fine though. Would you want a coach on his way to another program(in the same recruiting grounds) out "recruiting" for you for 6 weeks?
-
I also would like the joke explained.

It clearly isn't, which is insane. I have the same feeling I had before Hendry signed J. Jones. I mean, Pods just fits right into Hendry's MO. Left handed, CFer, "lead-off" hitter, "fast", etc... I'm hoping the seemingly recent fascination with RBI (re: Bradley) will steer him away from Podsednik. Shoulda put CF in quotes too. -
I'm kinda rooting for Indiana in this game. It's a weird feeling. Maybe you'll feel better if you just consider it rooting against UK rather than rooting for IU. Thanks, that's much better.

Fantasy teams and meatheads.

The simple answer to that is to go to a 16-team format. I don't know if that's the right answer, but the format should be the question, not whether or not to go to a playoff system at all. Which leads to teams losing 1/4 of their games and getting in. Or consistently [expletive] teams like whoever wins the MAC, C-USA, or Sun Belt getting in every year. And those 3-4 three loss teams (if that many) will get knocked out in the first round. Or if they go further, then they'll have earned their way. Or you could go to 12 teams (if that'll work) and get no more than 1 3-loss team in each year. So you don't mind the regular season importance being reduced so greatly? No more than 8, which can't be done without Big 6 auto-bids = no playoffs.

Ben Sheets!!!!!!!!!! Oh please oh please oh please oh please!!! Sheets would definitely be a nice pick up, i'd rather have sheets than Harden. Both are injury prone and can go on the DL at any given moment but at least when healthy, sheets isn't a 5 inning pitcher. Exactly! Plus, Sheets has had the surgery. Harden has not had the surgery. Wait, so coming off surgery is better than not coming off surgery? 5 innings robble robble

Amen, too bad Fox isn't around to play third on Aram's off days. That would be some entertaining baseball. Can't have Jake around, he said he liked Bradley, and that he was helpful towards him when he came up. Ergo, Jake Fox is also a cancer.
-
That would be fine with me. But Milton isn't without blame here. He needs to change his attitude a bit and at least have a professional relationship with teammates and other Cubs employees. Sounds like Bradley had a professional relationship with most of his teammates.
-
So he thinks all he has to do is put in a few years, regardless of whether he shows any acuity for the job at all, and his name will do the rest? Eff that. He's also getting kicked out of games and sacrifice bunting. Oh and won a division title last year with a team that was like 2 games over 500.

Who should the Cubs protect for the Rule 5 Draft?
SouthSideRyan replied to Wrigley Rat's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Has Sisco been hurt the last 2 seasons? There's nothing on br about him in '08 or '09(after disasters in '06 and '07) -
Red Sox picking up 9M of the 12M owed to him.
-
Wonder if he replaces Chavez.
-
I'm pretty sure I'd be pretty pissed if I was Bama this year and saw Georgia Tech win it all because they are in a shitty conference.
-
I feel terrible for the way the LaTroy situation worked out. I take no pleasure in his misery.
-
If Jim Hendry listened to his manager in '04, Derrek Lee would not be our 1B. And Lenny Harris might still be our 3B.
-
In case anyone missed it.
-
Without the upside of Harden and twice the downside!! Sign me up!
-
John Grabow has NEVER pitched 150 innings in a season.
-
I knew we weren't gonna re-sign him, but this still brings the pain.
-
I thought he was decent enough to hold down CF when he was out there.
-
It's also unfortunate that Ryan Theriot can't hit like Hanley Ramirez. To be fair, there was a time when Soriano was a passable second baseman, there's never going to be a time when Theriot hits like Hanley. What if Hanley loses his arm in a chainsaw accident?
-
Not a bad draw, though I think I'd rather take Michigan twice, and only play Iowa once. I like having only one of Minnesota or Wisconsin at home, cause their gyms are rough to play in, and it's not like a win there is going to be a huge boost to our resume(it helps, but it's not like we'd be knocking off a top 10 team in Purdue or MSU)
