Not that that is completely insane, but why would you ever go to the Cubs.com boards, period? He's into torturing himself?
-
Well, allheadlinenews just put out an article that says this: We've heard that quote before - but this is the first time I've seen that the Pads have a step up on everyone else. (Notice, this is translated from Japanese so the writing is somewhat awkward) Linky

He's probably awake. And sitting in front of his computer reading NSBB laughing his ass off.

I'd be wildly disappointed if he didn't draw a single walk all year. .349/40-45 HRs/50 SB/.482 OBP Huh? Am I missing some kind of joke? What, you didn't know he's the japanese barry bonds?

So it's 8am in japan, now. How bout doin some business!

Smarter child told me he loved me.

Whereas, if he signs elsewhere, this thread will blow up like nobody's ever seen. If a = posts in this thread after we sign Fukudome, 10a = posts in this thread if the Pads sign him, and 20a = posts in this thread if the Sox get him... No - the site would simply blow up.

Dude, we're like a bunch of strung out crackheads and Bruce is our supplier. I feel bad for the guy...That being said... BRUCE WHAT'S THE LATEST UPDATE*#$**(@$*(@SLD:JF:ALFJ

Ugh. Just got back from my final (pretty sure I Aced it, though!) and still nothing new to report. C'mon Kfuk. I don't care if it's only 5am in Tokyo...Wake up and make some money. SmarterChild (2:00:56 PM): The time in Tokyo, Japan is Wednesday, December 12th, 2007 5:00:41 am.

Unless I am mistaken, all international merchandise revenue goes directly into revenue sharing, as well as online sales except for zip codes in a 200 mile radius. The only way the Cubs can profit directly off of this deal is by selling ads to Japanese, or a cable deal. One way is to have the green screen behind home plate display Japanese ads whenever Fukudome is batting, because obviously they'll get more play in Japan than say, Ryan Theriot's. Yeah, and that's something they were planning on doing - selling ads in japanese. i wish I could remember whose article I read this in...

Someone, I forget who, was talking about this in their article yesterday. Essentially they said that Wrigley was planning on adding some extra sign-ege anyway, and if they landed Fukudome, they planned on putting some of those adds in japanese because so many more games would now be aired in Japan. The writer made it sound like the cubs could get a substantial amount out of the advertising - though they did not give a number.
-
Just woke up - I have a final in an hour and ten minutes. I really hope this is resolved when I get back so I can buckle down and finish that paper I have due tomorrow. Ugh. GO GET 'EM HENDRY!

I seem to remember a funny one about Grace visiting the mound and overhearing a conversation between Zimmer and Sutcliffe. It was really quite good. Oops. hit submit too soon. I think you're talking about Sutcliffe giving up back to back homers and the pitching coach( who's name escapes me) coming out to the mound. Sut told him to get his fat *** back to the dugout, and he told Sut he just came out to give the fireworks guys a chance to reload. Grace said he blew a snot bubble out of his nose he was laughing so hard. Heard Grace tell that story somewhere, Dan Patrick show maybe?? I'm pretty sure Pat and Ron tell that story about once a year - and I laugh every time.

I'm pretty sure the mods decided long ago that there would be no use of "musk rat" in reference to Carrie. That's 150 times more childish/annoying than being RickRoll'd. Mainly because RickRolling is funny on occasion - Musk rat isn't.
-
So I decided to call it quits on my paper for tonight because I got part of it done and the rest of it just isn't going to come out of my brain tonight. Anyway, good to see that Kfuk is coming to the US for real now. Someone should edit the title to note the change. "Fukudome OFFICIALLY coming to USA (for real now)" would do the job nicely. Ugh i need sleep. Finals week can suck my junk.

:lol: ! Hey, Paul Sullivan just did a good job of summing up everything we've known for two days! Sullivan's Article Sullivan is an idiot but: *Devil's advocate* He was probably told by his editor to write something on Fukudome and had nothing new, so he wrote on exactly what we've known. *Devil's advocate* I thought about that, too. It's a distinct possibility. Because of the timing of when the article came out it's probably just the article that will appear in the paper in the morning and the Trib didn't want to be the only paper without something about Fukudome in it. Still, though...I want new info :( Go study! Yeah, I really should. So I am. Later folks. I'll only be back if Fukudome signs tonight. which he wont, so see you after finals tomorrow.

First of all - SMALL sample size. Secondly - even with his .300 avg he still only managed to get on at a .342 rate (Not great for a leadoff batter). -

I'm not subjecting myself to the SCORE but I searched "Fukudome" on Google News and I'm refreshing the page every so often, so as soon as any news site posts anything - I'm on it. Unless I decide to do WORK or something. pfft.

I give up...how many? OOH OOOH, I have an answer! 14 times. Thanks Baseball reference.com. link 14 innings started with an XBH. Those were obviously the reason we won the division, guys. -

That's such a ridiculous thought process. If a better player was starting, he would have been much more likely NOT to go 0-3 in the first place and thus the game might not even be on the line in the first place. Furthermore - if someone gets on base at a higher rate than Theriot, I don't care if it's the 8th inning or the 2nd - that player is more likely to get on base. Period. Exclamation point. -
The Uber Official For Real Decision that Fukudome is Coming Stateside. That's too long though.

Yeah, we found that out yesterday. Scary thought.

Well, it's 10. C'mon Kfuk
