    He probably means, you know, reality. Pretending they are a proven veteran away from contention would be stupid. If you are an Orioles fan that is unsettled by that statement, you are completely clueless about your team's sitiuation. You should hope they do whatever they can to harness whatever value they can out of the players they have, and think about the longterm health of the franchise. I suppose. I'm pretty clueless about the Orioles situation. I assume they have more good prospects to hang their hat on than Hill & Pie. They have a handful of promising young prospects and if they were in any other division, they'd be a chic sleeper pick to win that division. However, in the AL East, they would need all of those promising young prospects to immediately produce up to their ceilings if they want to compete. That is fairly unrealistic.

    He just steals tablecloths from picnic tables and has his tailor alter them accordingly.

    I can dig it.

    Isn't that usually the case?

    Well, there's, um...Marquez Smith! Yeah, him! And Josh Lansford!!! And don't forget Kyle Reynolds, either! Holy hell do we have a black hole of suck in the upper levels at 3B.

    I think the Badgers go 3-2 to finish. I also think it'll be done in an absolutely stupid way, like the Badgers losing their next two and winning their last three.

    George Carlin has a good description of it. It's three activities in one.

    There might be something to the juiced ball theory after all.

    Apparently the doctors have told him he should be able to pitch in MLB games by the middle of July, possibly earlier. That's still a half of a season. In Sheets's eyes, the amount of money teams are offering him to rehab and pitch in 2009 will still be there in June or July. And while he's unable to create much of a bidding war now, he may be able to then. In June/July, he'll still have to option of signing a deal for 2009 and hitting the market for 2010, or he might leverage it into a long term deal. He's not hurting for money, so what's the difference to him in signing a low ball contract now that will still be there in June. The only difference is he could rehab with a major league team, but right now that isn't all that important to him. The fact that he's a Type A free agent also hurts his ability to sign with teams. Those teams might prefer to wait until they can sign him without having to compensate the Brewers with draft picks.

    Mike Hampton was clearly worth the $121m!

    That pretty much sums up my thoughts on this. However, if Z thinks this will somehow help him be more prepared for the season, more power to him.

    Frankly, I wouldn't be opposed to picking up Holt and drafting a WR in the first round at this point. The Bears' WR corps is absolutely abominable and needs all the help it can get.

    That is a name I've not heard in a long, long time. And I really could care less who the mods are. You shouldn't be so nonchalant about the mods. They can be a vengeful bunch. And it's "couldn't care less" :wink: http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/4347/caringqx7.png

    I've decided to replace my banhammer with... THE COMFY CHAIR! http://jschumacher.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/comfy_chair.jpg
  17. Outshined_One
    Pretty much, yeah. I'm expecting BA to have him in their Top 50.

    I now want to see Zambrano grow out a full Rollie Fingers 'stache.

    http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/6663/gmadduxow7.jpg I loved that mustache.

    That was the same game Mongo got booted from! Rockies at Cubs, 8/8/2001. I think Jon used to have the audio of that on his site.

    Um...what? Did you hate Choi or something?
  22. Outshined_One
    THANK YOU! I was looking for this and couldn't find it anywhere. I forgot about that game. That game was awesome. Wasn't that Z vs. Good Zito? Prior versus Mulder.

    Considering pitchers and catchers report tomorrow, I decided to steal this thread idea from McCovey Chronicles. Basically, use this thread to post moments or people in Cubs history that bring back good memories for you. For example... http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/1669/kerrywood20bg9.jpg
