  1. Maybe the requirement was "under 310?" *shrug*
  2. I know the comedian he looks like... I just can't pull out the name.
  3. yea... that was pretty funny
  4. Goony... DAVE KAPLAN Was it Dave Kaplan??
  5. I don't really think this disproves anything. Nobody is going to come out and say that there's truth to this stuff. Not in this organization. You just pretty much have to choose who to believe.
  6. lol sorry... i posted that on another forum and just realized i left the expletive in there
  7. Zaidman on Score saying he talked to Maynard... Maynard said that the Score has been pretty entertaining the last few days... Zaidman asked him if what was being said was accurate... Maynard said that he wouldn't say that, but it's been entertaining... also added that he was on the Giants and they were never under .500 and that he saw far worse [expletive] on the Giants between teammates back then than what's being talked about with the Bears right now.
  8. I'm going to like this lineup a lot when Soto gets back....
  9. lol screw you under armour and yes, those are awesome.. i had them in 4th grade
  10. http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2009-07/48370753.jpg Not jumping out of pools right now
  11. OMGGGGGGGGG HES HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2009-07/48373678.jpghttp://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2009-07/48373678.jpg http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2009-07/48373678.jpghttp://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2009-07/48373678.jpg http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2009-07/48373678.jpghttp://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2009-07/48373678.jpg
  12. Since we're talking probabilities... what is the chance that those supplemental picks would have amounted to anything worth a damn? That certainly comes into play in the risk vs. reward conversation.
  13. We'd have a very bad reliever on our team making $8+M right now? He's not very bad, but Wood cost a hell of a lot more than Miles and Gathright did this season. He's been very bad... Fair enough, though, as that doesn't mean he is very bad.

  15. Acknowledging the reasonable chance that he'll take it /= assuming he'll take it.
  16. http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2009-07/48373442.jpg http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2009-07/48373305.jpg http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2009-07/48372968.jpghttp://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2009-07/48372958.jpghttp://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2009-07/48370760.jpghttp://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2009-07/48369724.jpg
  17. Our run differential is going to match last year's in like 3 more games at this rate... :)
  18. Plus there's the very real possibility (actually, likelihood) that Hendry knows a lot more about Woody's shoulder than we do. It might've been an even bigger risk than we think. It's fun winning by a lot of runs so we can argue about stupid crap.
  19. Can people set aside the player-crushes and look at this realistically for a second? Realistically it's ridiculous to pretend not offering arbitration was a good idea. If he accepts, we have a good reliever. If he doesn't, we get 2 draft picks. The downside is where? A good reliever with an injury history as long as the Bible... Not to mention the the fact that it's just a bad appropriation of resources to pay a closer 8-10 million dollars.
  20. Have they actually used important people in these two blowout games? You would hope not...
  21. And that's the same Kerry Wood love bias that was in everyone's brains last fall. I love him, but a relief pitcher with his injury history and risk (the miraculous recovery in 07) isn't a good investment.
  22. You absolutely no clue how much Wood would have made if he accepted, do you? This. He was looking for and got a multi year deal. Why are people assuming he would accept arbitration? Given the market conditions and his apparent love for the team it was a pretty real risk.
  23. Barrett is another example of a great value that Hendry got.
