    He might have to take his own advice in a couple of months.

    A big f you to all the people wanting to judge Ricketts prematurely.
  3. UMFan83
    Secondary goal? Whats the primary goal? Make a lot of money off of you idiots?

    Haven't read all 6 pages, but I wonder how much pretty much doing nothing at the deadline had to do with Hendry knowing his days are numbered.

    john grabow just lost a lot of money today.
  6. UMFan83
    Yes part of me is just waiting to see him fail (tho ultimately I'd rather him not of course). Just seems like a strange thing to admit.

    Nice diss of Rondo's shooting coming from a guy whose favorite current player is Derrick Rose. /SSR likely response
  8. UMFan83
    Yeah now that I've read the referenced article, I don't see why this means they are rebuilding from the ground up.
  9. UMFan83
    It took them 2 years of horrible baseball for them to decide to start over? The Cubs should never feel the need to rebuild from scratch. They have resources that 90% of the teams in the league cannot come close to matching.

    http://www.csnchicago.com/08/18/11/Williams-among-Bears-offensive-problems/landing_moon_v3.html?blockID=550554&feedID=9399 LOL wow. What a free agent signing.

    Vick has done a lot to improve his personal image since the whole thing went down and has regained a lot of fans, but there are still quite a few people who despise him and will not root for any team he plays on. Are any of them Eagles fans? Vick was the runner up of a nationwide popularity contest to decide the next cover of Madden. He's pretty popular, even though his upcoming GQ article (exerpts on Deadspin today) is odd and he makes a few questionable comments.
  12. UMFan83
    If he is released, does that mean that if he signs with another team, he has to wait 50 games before he can start playing for them?
  13. UMFan83
    You gotta love the "What can I do, there's no one left to sign that would help us" statements. There were people that could help us like 2 weeks ago, but you didn't go after them, and now the 2nd largest market in the NFL is going to play the season $10 mil under the cap (assuming Forte extension) and hope people don't notice it.

    You've never heard of the supplemental draft or you haven't heard any talk about this year's supplemental draft? The NFL supplemental draft. I might have heard of it in passing, but this is the first time someone I've heard of has been eligable.
  15. UMFan83
    Interesting...so you could have the top pick, but not want to give up your 1st next year so you offer a later round pick. I'd imagine the highest round a team would offer for Pryor would be a 4th or 5th.
  16. UMFan83
    I've never heard anything about the supplemental draft prior to this. What is the draft order? Same as the draft in April? Are there actually other desirable players, or is Pryor the only one? Where do people think Pryor would go if he was eligable for the actual draft?
  17. UMFan83
    I think the Indians are gonna regret that deal.
  18. UMFan83
    Guess it would be a cheap way to triple the amount of discussion in the Cubs discussions forum.
  19. UMFan83
    1st and 3rd with 0 outs in the 9th down by a run and they don't score. Nice job losing a series to a 39-84 team.
  20. UMFan83
    Yeah but there's surely an opportunity cost. If a team like the Pirates spends a ton on the draft, that's less they spend on the team. How have the Rays spent since their rebuilding plan starting churning out winning teams? Just curious because their payroll spiked when they got good (as you'd expect).
  21. UMFan83
    Random thought: Whatever happened to Jimy_is_mispell? or whatever his name was?

    Meh, they've needed him because they've actually been winning close baseball games lately. Earlier in the season he would go 2 weeks without a save opp. I know we're not going anywhere this year but he's an established pitcher who has been able to throw 70+ relief innings a year. I'm not worried about him getting hurt. Is Carlos still leading the MLB in blown saves after this one? Quite troubling for a pitcher who just got a big extension this spring.
