  1. Note: All of those questions were snipped considerabley, there is a ton more content, including explanations to every answer in the article.
  2. Go play in the street or something. He's allowed to have an opinion, no matter how baseless it may be.. Opinions are like assholes; we all have one.
  3. 8 and 13, that'll work.
  4. There's absolutely no reason for the Chiefs to do that trade. The Packers only have the 16th pick, and LJ is one of the best in the game. If the Packers wanted to land LJ, they'd have to do a Ricky Williams-style deal to land him, I'd bet. Asa Chiefs fan, let me add that while I do not support that trade.... Johnson is 27 Rushed 400 times last year Wants a 8 year deal after this season.
  5. If he keeps hovering around the mendoza line, I can't see him getting enough at bats. Here's to him getting his average up. That would be over 80 home runs between this season and next.
  6. So Sammy can still add St Louis and Washington to his totals.
  7. Yup, today's homer broke McGriff's record and Sosa now has gone yard in 44 ballparks. Does anyhave a list of parks he has homered in? Or parks he hadsn't homered in? I'd like to see how much higher he can push this.
  8. Well they donanted the sock to the HOF months later. Surely they could have put real blood on it by then.
  9. Says the guy who takes every opportunity to he can to talk about how great Rich Hill is. actually, more people talk about how i talk about being right about rich hill than i actually talk about how i was right about rich hill. by quite a bit. plus, i don't really know what you're saying. I mean we all have a lot of hope for these guys. We all get angry when we perceive the Cubs didn't give them a fair shake. I don't think Harris or Hill got one from the Cubs. Until this year, I don't think Rich Hill did. When we have a team the loses 90 every other year, this is a problem. I don't think it's about a fair shake with those two guys. I mean, it's not like the Cubs gave up on those two-they simply traded them for quality players. In the case of Harris, he had just made it to AAA in 2004, so the team traded him, and at the time both of the primary positions he played (3B and 2B) were blocked. In the case of Hill, he got some at-bats in 2002 (probably should have had a few more), didn't really play in 2003 because the player at his position at the major leagues was playing well, and then was traded for a valuable player. The Cubs certainly have not given some players a fair shake over the last few years, but these two really weren't part of that. They just simply got traded because the Cubs needed a couple of pieces to make playoff runs, and they had value as prospects. Was Harris in the Nomar trade? He was wasn't he? If so I agree with what you are saying. These two weren't great examples, but it would be nice for once one of our young guys getting 500 at bats uninterrupted. I mean we had Patterson who was the number two prosepct in all of baseball and we couldn't do that? Why the heck not? Because we were going to the playoffs with Damon Buford leading the charge? The way the cubs handle their young players is ridiculous. You must be reffering to the Murton-Harris trade of 2004. :lol:
  10. Welcome to the forum. Is Davey Rosello really dead? No.
  11. Nah, but it is quite interesting to see how many teams who make the playoffs get off to bad starts. I actually felt better as well when looking at all those teams who had losing records in April-it's not an aberration, but a regular occurrence for that to happen to at least 2-3 teams. I was really shocked. In the last two years, 6 teams under .500, one team at .500, one team one game over .500 Out of 16 playeff teams. I just hope nobody views your posts and starts thinking of this as a playoff team. 06 Rays April 11 -14 06 Pirates April 7-19 There we go.
  12. Looks like the Dodgers were the only team below .500 the previous season.

  14. Well they didnt exactly go against him in game 2.
  15. 05 Padres April 11 -13 05 Yankees April 10 -14 So three more in 2005. Should bother to go further?
  16. So LAST YEAR, there were three that finished April below .500, and one more thas was 12-12 in April. I feel encouraged now, thanks.
