    Do you want to win, or do you want to have a happy clubhouse? Winning makes a happy clubhouse. I think keeping Prior would have increased the Cubs' chances of winning.

    The Bears are desperate for safeties!

    Arm He swings like Ichiro. He seems to lunge at the ball. But he hit a homerun off a guy who looks like a right-handed version of Billy Wagner.
  4. Wilson A2000
    Wow this thread sure has a lot of browsers. I heard he has a canon for an arm. Is that true? How fast is he?
  5. Wilson A2000
    6 feet, 150 lbs? Where does he get the power?
  6. Wilson A2000
    Gotcha. What happens if there is a major penalty?
  7. Wilson A2000
    I don't know too much about hockey, but I thought if a team has a one man advantage due to a penalty, once the advantaged team scores a goal, the power play is over. The Hawks had a two-man advantage, scored, but still had the two-man advantage afterward. Are there different rules for a two-man?

    Ramage was found guilty a few weeks ago and could face 14 years in jail. He could lose his right to live or work in the US. I don't think anyone else was killed though.

    Do we know if the Blackhawks approached McDonough or if McDonough approached them
  10. Wilson A2000
    I hope it does because Boras is not good for baseball or his clients

    Palmiero can't be charged because he failed the test after he testified. But I wonder if it can be figured out that Palmiero had to be on them for a few weeks prior for it to show up on a later test. So I guess Bonds did fail a test associated with the criminal investigation. I wonder what they found. I have to remind myself that HGH while illegal to take now, is not tested for. Bonds can't get busted for taking that. When were anabolic steroids made illegal in the MLB? He could have taken anabolic steroids up until they were illegal and then taken HGH after that. So Bonds could have taken this stuff, but worked it out so that he can't be punished. If he is found guilty for perjury, I don't know if they can take his records away because what he did was not illegal per se from the MLB's perspective.

    Bonds hasn't failed any steroid tests that I know of. This indictment is about his testimony before the grand jury. The Feds know when they raided BALCO that Bonds was on steroids because of all of the data they found there. Plus, there is plenty of corroborating evidence. Bonds says he didn't knowingly take any which seems to be a lie. Bonds was given immunity from prosecution after the testimony, except if he would up committing perjury. Bonds is not in trouble for taking them, but for saying that he didn't take them when he knew he did. HGH wasn't the only steroid Bonds was on. He was on anabolic steroids (see the wiki page on "Game of Shadows") previous to HGH. HGH is not undetectable. It's just that blood test used to detect is is not allowed by the MLB for a number of reasons and the test is not as accurate as the MLB would like.

    The asterisks in the indictment are not trying to cover up anything, but are meaning to heighten the points where Bonds supposedly perjured himself right?
  14. Wilson A2000
    Lester Munson said that if convicted, Bonds would likely get a year
  15. Wilson A2000
    Did Palmiero testify before a grand jury? But isn't it illegal to lie to Congress? Was this indictment unexpected?
  16. Wilson A2000
    Any word on when Havlat will be back?

    If Crede's back wasn't hurt, there is no way Williams would have wanted to trade him, especially after his success in the World Series. He is young, could hit for power and average, and has Gold Glove potential. Yet I have heard that the Yankees are floating a Damon for Crede trade. Kenny signed Konerko after the 2005 championship season. The only time he could have traded him was during their WS run and that wouldn't have gone over well. Contreras CANNOT be traded for a prospect. He has 30 million coming over the next three years. He is old and just doesn't have it anymore.
  18. Wilson A2000
    Nobody wants Contreras and his contract. It's hard to trade an injured Crede. Dye was hurt late last year which made him untradeable. You don't trade Konerko because he has a relatively cheap contract and he can still play. He can still help you win a WS. Buehrle can still win you games. He gave them a hometown discount and he is is still young. Garland had a terrible year and his trade value wasn't much. It's hard to totally clean house and bring it decent talent in today's market. The problem is that they don't have young talent coming up.
  19. Wilson A2000
    http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071108/sp_nm/baseball_whitesox_uribe_dc_1 I think he had the worst or one of the worst OBPs in the game. Kenny said he has been one of the most consistent SS in the league, but if he is consistent, he is consistently bad. His offensive numbers for 2007 are inflated because he had a great September. With that said, he isn't even consistent because his average has gone down the last four years. Must be slim pickings for shortstops this year.
  20. Wilson A2000
    Man this is going to get interesting. If Bonds says he will boycott the ceremony now, I wonder if he will even get voted in if the writers think that he he won't show up to the ceremony?
  21. Wilson A2000
    Has anyone heard if the Tribune Co. is tearing the field it up, lowering the surface, putting in new drainage, and resodding or seeding it or are they waiting for the new ownership to OK the retrofit meaning it would happen next fall?
  22. Wilson A2000
    Good news is that Dusty is in our division now! Cincy won't ever test their young talent to see if they are good. Man do I feel sorry for the Reds. It was such a joy to know that the Cubs had a competent manager this season. It really does make a difference.
  23. Wilson A2000
    Colorado was incredibly patient last night vs Davis. They didn't score many runs, but they worked about every count. I like that.
  24. Wilson A2000
    If Arod has one more bad game I think he will be gone. Heck, he might be gone even if the Yankees win. The good news is that the grounds crew has plenty of time to totally rip out the while field for the reconstruction project.

    A good new owner will relieve Hendry of his duties
