    Yeah, we need a fiery guy to replace that old softie Lou Piniella. SORIANO!!! PLAY BETTER OR I'LL ASK YOU TO GIVE UP 100M CAUSE I'M ANGRY

    Hope that he's had a knee injury all year.

    Down 7-2 in the 9th inning with nobody on base.

    Memphis is high profile? If Calipari stayed and he had his army of paid 18 year olds there instead of Lexington, the NCAA would've found no wrong-doing. With Calipari gone and Memphis's program an afterthought they were able to actually do something(however pointless it may be)

    This Koyie Hill [expletive] is starting to piss me off.

    *benches all Padres on his fantasy team* You have Padres on your fantasy team? 16 team NL only league? Since he's benching them against Smoltz I assumed it was a hacking mass league.

    I think we're better than Gonzaga.

    Yeah, it was a really tough call on Baker, but I think Bucknor got it right.

    The only reason I even care about the Cubs pulling off a miracle to knock out the Cards is that so RedVerbs will [expletive] leave for awhile again.
  11. SouthSideRyan
    Um.. Actually he was the #2 starter on the team behind Morris, and the unquestioned leader of the pitching staff. He had 2 bad years in Colorado after a lot of success in Houston. The only comparison that most Cub fans would understand today, is if Ted Lilly died suddenly. I don't want to rehash a tragedy. I just wanted to point out that luck, both good and bad, is subjective. Not looking for sympathy, just trying to add some logic to the conversation. Kile had 2 good seasons in Houston. 4 years apart. The year he died he had the 4th best ERA on the team, a shade ahead of midseason acquisition(who probably never woulda been acquired without Kile dying) Chuck Finley. The unquesitoned leader? Sounds like sports talk [expletive] to me. It wasn't like the guy was a lifetime Cardinal, he was with them for 2 and a half seasons. Don't get me wrong, I hate the drooling pack that say pixie dust every 3rd post, but Daryl Kile dying, meh.

    If you beat a team that doesn't exist for the title, you didn't really win the title. Sorry snood.

    The Dodgers only started losing their lead because they replaced Pierre with Manny.
  14. SouthSideRyan
    Luckily for him he's at Kentucky now, so he should be safe.

    The veteran ace dying was like the 5th best pitcher on the team that year. The veteran ace that died also miraculous became good after being terrible in Colorado.
  16. SouthSideRyan
    You gets get banished to U for the Challenge?
  17. SouthSideRyan
    No, but he's not an ideal defensive CF, has basically been a platoon partner, and more importantly, potentially the only tradable position player. 2/26.5 for his age 33 and 34 seasons, I think the Cubs might be able to find a better way to spend that money. Well that would be fine if they could find a way to spend the money, but I'm not comfortable with Bradley as a full-time CF(not cause of his defense, but because of the prospects of Reed Johnsons starting 70 times a year.) I'm also not comfortable giving Jason Bay whatever insane contract he's likely to get. Finding a CF platoon(or player) that hits like the ones we've had the last 2 seasons, is costly in dollars or talent. I'd rather eat 3M/Y on Dempster and trade him than open a gaping hole in CF.
  18. SouthSideRyan
    Fukudome's contract isn't really an issue.
  19. SouthSideRyan
    Yes, there's lot of doubt. Smoltz is done. You don't know that Yeah, but everyone [expletive] knows that he's going to dominate with the Cardinals. That or they're on the cutting edge of comedy with their predictions.

    This starts it all.

    who was it? Haha, he's talking about Jim Thome. I could understand why you're confused since he got essentially everything wrong in his post. Don't let facts get in your way. 2006-2008: Thome-- 111 HR, 295 RBI, .554 Slugging DLee--- 50HR, 202 RBI, .483 Slugging Easy to slurp up the Hendry Kool-Aid for some. If Thome was a free agent during the 2005 offseason, how the hell did the Phillies manage to trade him to the White Sox? And even if you ignore that, this is every bit as important as the offensive stats you posted: Games played at 1B vs. Games played as DH (since Opening Day 2003, which is important, since the Cubs would have been able to sign him as a free agent the previous offseason): Thome: 346 vs. 411 Lee: 922 vs. 5 Thome wouldn't be putting up those offensive numbers if he was playing 1B everyday. The ability to be a DH saved his career. It's even more fun if you take it from Thome's free agency year heading into the '06 season. (Pretty dumb of the Phillies to just release him like that) Thome has played 4 games at 1B from '06 on. This was also the offseason following Derrek Lee beating the ever living [expletive] out of the ball all year. Now if we're talking about not signing Thome to play SS when he became a free again before this year, I wholeheartedly agree.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    I bet the Phillies were pissed that Thome was soliciting other teams that offseason. Kinda BS if you ask me.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    who was it? Haha, he's talking about Jim Thome. I could understand why you're confused since he got essentially everything wrong in his post. Personally, I'm still pissed Hendry didn't sign Jose Reyes this past offseason.
