    Maybe a trick of supply and demand? A lot of people who want those item really bad might drive up the cost way more than its worth. I'm sure there are actually people who figure out exactly how many of different types of items are desired at an auction based on the expected demand. For whatever reason they probably figure the money raised from drving up the price of these few items will be greater than selling dozens that go for a lower price.

    thats the stupidest thing i ever heard in my life i want to die right now, what a hell of a game. Oh well, I say stupid things sometimes. It would be an incredibly gutsy move, but I could almost kinda sorta maybe once in a million years see it happening.

    I dunno everything else that Boise did in that game was crazy, and what better way to get Oklahoma overconfident then to let them score right away. It just looked so easy. I don't think it's likely, but what if...
  4. WrigleyField 22
    Man, what a game! I missed the whole sequence in which Oklahoma cam back. I fell asleep with Boise up 28-10 and woke up right after Oklahoma scored to go up 35-28. Then of course Boise State come marching right back. Go Me! Also, anyone get the feeling Boise let them score right away? Kind of saying, our offense is so hot, lets get them on the field right away.

    I liked him in MVP Baseball. He was pretty solid.

    The Cubs biggest obstacle is themselves and their own incompentance.

    Uh oh, 17 didn't work out too well for Greenberg either. Then you have Murray and Mabry that just sucked. Good thing curses don't exist.

    I didn't know before the poll and answered no, but that sparked me to look it up. Impressive. And according to the unreliable link I read, he did not sign Banks, but did sign others.

    Basically sums up everything about right.
  12. WrigleyField 22
    OT, but why was Piccolo's number retired(ditto for Galimore)? I know the whole story, but is that the kind of thing that should get a guy's # retired. Also OT, but why hasn't Singletry's 50 been retired? I can't think of anyone who has actually worn it, so I suppose it is unofficially retired, but still. Also in oh 10-15 years inebackers in Chicago are really going to run out of numbers to wear, at least those in the 50's.
  13. WrigleyField 22
    But thats so logical.
  14. WrigleyField 22
    I fell asleep early in the second and woke up with about 8min in OT and thought it was some kind of joke. Cliff Notes: what happened? 3 Fum by Hester? only one lost though. aarrrggh our defense almost blew us a game, and not Rex I presume? i little payback should i get my heart checked out?
  15. WrigleyField 22
    Wow, all this comotion over a number. I guess, if anything it just upsets me because it suggests they have no intent to retire it, but maybe the next ownership group will do it to try to drum up fan interest because the team sucks while paying Lilly 14M, Fonz 17, and Zambrano walked for FA.

    Pat Burrel: $1M (+1.5 signing) $4M $7M $9.5M $13M $14M http://www.mlb4u.com/profile.php?id=679 That was originally signed pre-free agency though, right? All of those types of deals will look like that. aah, right, didn't think about that.

    Todd Hollandsworth Say what you will about the guy as a starter, he was a good pinch hitter, and filled in wonderfully in 2004 when Sammy was hurt.
  19. WrigleyField 22
    We did, for an hour.
  20. WrigleyField 22
    Yay, time for Benson to showcase his talents!
  21. WrigleyField 22
    he really wasn't much better than Marshall last year, and most people seem willing to give away sean for just about anything. The biggest difference in their numbers was the BB, especially if you look at both of their numbers as starters. Everything else was strikingly similar. Those extra BB though made a difference on ER. And I don't know why you think people are willing to give him away for anything. Most of the talk I heard was to net a starter such as Westbrook, or in deals to upgrade SS or CF. I'd hardly say people are willing to give him away. I guess I should say that most weren't clamoring for him to be in the rotation in 2007. That would be a fair assessment. Though before we knew we were huge spenders some, including me, likely would have supported it.

    Does this take them off of 40man and expose them to waivors or what?

    Honestly. Is it even possible not to like him? Besides being the perfect athletic specimin he is also a great guy, and seemingly very humble. Well he is not on the Bears.
  25. WrigleyField 22
    Don't worry guys, I live in St.Louis, Eckstien has a fine arm. Trust me, my Cardinal fans wouldn't be wrong about this. He's also a top 3 SS in the NL easily, probably top 5 in the league.
