Really? Like what? Whenever I have a pot luck, Ryan always brings a hot side dish and a dessert. Ronny usually only brings a small bag of cookies. If it's a picnic, then Theriot brings the Ketchup, Cedeno maybe the Relish and Mustard. Neither brings the hot dogs & buns. ...only further confirming just how worthless Theriot is. You don't put ketchup on hot dogs. -
I'm just speaking for myself, but I always geek out a lot whenever pictures start showing up. I don't care if they are of Kevin Hart and Henry Blanco playing catch. I just like seeing the Cubs unis. Same. That, and 3 second clips of our pitchers on the mounds during the news. Hearing the ball pop when it meets the mitt owns. Last year we got the shaft with the early spring training pictures. Took forever to get Cubs stuff... Hopefully, with Fukudome on the team now, we'll get more stuff sooner.

MacPhail is starting to look as ridiculous as Jerry Krause.
-
This is pretty odd, considering a player in the trade (or at least, so the Seattle paper reported) flat out said he was headed to the O's, right?

Thank you... Been an irritation of mine as well, but thats how it goes. It's pretty funny. I saw a lot of it going on at RealGM when the Kobe rumors were flying around ("Will you guys give us Deng if we include Kwame?"). It's one thing to refer to your team as "we" as though you're part of the team, it's quite another (and moronic) thing to act like you make decisions for that team. This is the same type of attitude that results in people thinking "if fans stop going to games, the team's gonna have to really try to win the World Series!" The sooner the average fan realizes they have virtually zero impact on the organization for whom they cheer, everyone will be a lot better off. I have no problem with that.. That's only mildly annoying and I do it sometimes, too. What's stupid is saying things like "NO DUDE, oMGZ WE're NOT SENDING YOU PIE," when they obviously have no say in that. And how stupid does it look when the team does wind up doing that? I remember Boston fans telling me they wouldn't "give us" Nomar unless they got Clement back. Heh, right. Just say, "Yea, I don't see the Cubs (or even 'us') giving up Pie," or something. I don't know.

I'm guessing you clicked the wrong quote button, but I'd say I can't disagree with this at all.

I find it mildly humorous how invested you are in defending these guys, david. I point it out when I think people are way off base. Do you honestly think these guys are just making stuff up, got it right a couple times, gained a following, and then convinced the site admin (who went through his own "sources," whatever they may be) to post a BS story on the site's main page and completely risk the credibility of that website? Obviously, the site admin believed he had concrete info when they posted that report up (which had been confirmed independently of the inside posters). He didn't just put it on the front page of the site on a hunch. I just think it's [expletive] and far more far-fetched to think that it's some kind of elaborate hoax is all.
-
Ok, you're really off base here. Really.
-
It's funny how massively tall of a horse some of the people who don't buy into the insiders are on here. You don't believe them. You think they're just making stuff up and have a bunch of idiots hanging at their every word. We get it.
-
Eh, just realized that he's a poster over here too. DeuceBaseman My bad, man. But it was a pretty ridiculous statement. On no planet is Marmol anywhere near as valuable as Bedard.
-
lawl, a Cubs fan over there said that Marmol is almost as valuable as Bedard right now. Rrrrrrrright.
-
Yep. :?
-
The Insiders at OH do seem to be giving the Pie speculation a vague endorsement, though.
-
It's Rosenthal. I doubt it'll be Pie. You can bet that Gallagher will go in the deal, though. Just my opinion.
-
I don't think Pie is as highly regarded as Jones though, is he? He used to be, and Bedard wasn't regarded as highly back then as he is now. Nice av....welcome to the forum.
-
I still think that if we get Roberts, it means Soriano will move down in the order. I don't think Soriano leading off is as set in stone as everyone thinks. As for how I'd line it up (I know Lou is gonna wanna split up his lefties, though)... 2B - Roberts RF - Fukudome 1B - Lee 3B - Aramis LF - Sori C - Geovany Soto CF - Pie SS - Theriot (Ugh)
-
Now's probably not the best time for that.

Thanks for posting it...

sports.yahoo.com/mlb/rumors;_ylt=Am.6RHdjFPzHNiHiU7Cd6jcRvLYF Doubt it since it seems like him to the Mariners is all but done, but it is from today so I thought i'd post it. I woulnd't be surprised if MacPhail and Hendry have the Roberts thing agreed on until Bedard is traded and Jim is helping Seattle raise their ante. I could see MacPhail telling Bavassi: "Well we're going to take the Cubs offer of Pie, Hill, and a buncha minor leaguers (obviously not real) unless you replace Sherill with Truinfel", or something like that. it is a shame that we aren't going to get bedard because that trade would be super cool my prediction is that these trades will undoubtedly go down this next week mark it dude! Giving up Hill in a trade for Bedard would in no way be super cool.
-
Wouldn't it be sweet if the O's wanted Theriot instead of Cedeno or Murton and played hardball with Hendry until he gave in? A guy can dream.
-
Why do people here keep slamming people on other team's boards as if they're saying these things just to mess wih us? Some of us are WAY too wound up over this. I'm agreeing with you a lot. Watch out, though. Someone is going to call you out for coming to the defense of the insiders. :roll: I have no knowledge of who is who on the Orioles board except for what was posted earlier in this thread. I will point out though, that the only labeled insider talking about the Cubs and Roberts during this whole thread on Bedard appears to be a new poster to the Orioles board with a supposed Cubs source whose veracity is openly questioned on the board. Link to Orioles Hangout Insider Re-cap. ...it was posted that the deal was finalized on the main page, so it definitely wasn't just one new guy. But who cares, it's just stupid rumor season anyway. This kind of stuff happens every year. He actually meant the new thread where the "new" info was coming from.

Rich Hill's ERA looks high for Pecota.

I've been thinking along these lines the whole time. Great idea. WCFB is like a ghost town right now, anyway.
