    Fox loves rubbing it in with us, don't they?

    Don't the Cubs have a scout with a lot of connections to Lamar? The Cubs have drafted a sizable number of guys out of there in recent years, including Micah Hoffpauir and a few current minor leaguers.

    Don't worry, we'll get Jake Peavy.

    Friggin' west coast. I want football on my TV in half an hour, dangit!

    Which of the city's beat writers is this at the microphone? :wink: :good:

    What, no "Wild Thing" jokes? For shame, people!
  8. Outshined_One
    Pretty much this.

    That honestly sounds really cool! Northwestern/Illinois isn't that great of a matchup, though. I'd prefer to see Northwestern/Wisconsin there. :D

    It's always been that way. These deals have always been structured to avoid taxes and other considerations.

    That would be because I am halfway across the world with a terrible internet connection at the moment.

    Technically, whether you use a/an before a word beginning with an H should be determined by the letter after the H. Thus, "an hand" is technically correct. Only if the h is silent, if I'm not mistaken. It would not be correct to say "I want an hamburger." Nor "have an happy holiday." I believe you're right (such as an historic moment; the word is pronounced "istoric" with the "h" silent). Yes, historic and honor were the words that immediately came to mind. There are a number of formal "correct" English pronunciations which drop the h altogether when deciding between a or an. Link. Back in undergrad, one of my friends was a linguistics major who did a lot of work on this kind of stuff. There was an English grammar book he showed me which stated that you should always drop the h when determining whether to use a or an. It's a dialectical thing (as seen with some people pronouncing the "h" in history), but technically speaking, it is acceptable to say "an hand" or "an happy holiday."

    Looks like we got two pretty good relief prospects and a decent SP prospect with big control problems. Considering we likely weren't going to get any of their Top 10 prospects for DeRo, it's not a bad deal for the Cubs.

    Jeff Stevens Chris Archer John Gobbs apparently doesn't exist, but John Gaub does.
  16. Outshined_One
    Aaron Miles is terrible.
  17. Outshined_One
    I'm hoping Colorado throws us a bone with a prospect, even a mediocre one. Otherwise, it's a bit of a whatever deal from my perspective.
  18. Outshined_One
    I'm guessing the money saved with Marquis being traded has something to do with this.
  19. Outshined_One
    Mike Remlinger!
  20. Outshined_One
    Holmgren too maybe? I'd love to see Shanahan given the moon and full control over the offense, but I doubt he'd take it or the Bears would offer it. What has Mike Shanahan done since John Elway retired that Lovie Smith hasn't? Been the head coach of a team with offenses ranging from slightly below average to very good since 2000?
  21. Outshined_One
    I'm willing to make the argument that all four road teams should be favored in these games.
  22. Outshined_One
    Very nice! You've got a really good framework set in place and it's really good having all of that information in a single spot. This should be quite helpful for next season's minor league box score threads. :D
  23. Outshined_One
    Arizona and Philly won. We should be picking at 18. We could move down to 17, but that requires San Diego going to the Super Bowl.
  24. Outshined_One
    This was such a wonderful day for schadenfreude.
  25. Outshined_One
    Significantly!
