  1. HAHAHAHA. That is awesome. "As welcome as a case of rectal itch." :lmao:
  2. Out of those two? Pepsi. But I drink Safeway Select.
  3. Wow. That was really cool. Thank you.

    To answer the original question, 2% 'is bestest'. To answer your other question, yes they do make 1%.
  5. Well yes, he and Lou could put on quite a show. :D Imagine what the Hustle Police would do with Manny jogging every ground ball and pop fly out? I've heard they're getting new sirens installed solely because ARam is coming back. If Manny was traded here they would, at the very least, need to double to number of policemen. Can the city of Chicago afford that kind of investment? I'm not so sure.
  6. I would love to have Manny in Wrigley. As others have mentioned, a HUGE positive is that he only has 2 years left on the deal.
  7. I still like saying the name Scott Spiezio around Giants fans.
  8. Wow, brilliantly done. I now love this deal even more.
  9. In 2004 Peavy was better, but pitched a lot less. In 2005, he was marginally better, and pitched a little less. Plus, Zambrano was great in 2003, when Peavy struggled, and Zambrano was good in 2002, when Peavy struggled. Z was also obviously much better this year. Peavy does have a great team friendly contract (why don't the Cubs ever sign these types of deals with their young guys?). But the one thing the Cubs have at their disposal is money, and I'd rather they pay more for the better player. Z's 2004>Z's 2003. I would hardly call his 2003 a great season. But I'm just nitpicking and would take Z over Peavy any day. Z has 4 full years as a starter, and a fifth starting half the time, with an ERA under 4. Peavy has just 2. And to answer Tim's question, I wouldn't even consider trading Z to the Braves for the package they're offering.
  10. This game is nuts.
  11. Haha, that's really quite pathetic. And considering all the talk radio hosts over the last 10 months falsely calling the Fiesta Bowl of last year a "beatdown" even though the game was in doubt until the very end, you'd think this guy would at least call in to one of THOSE shows, rather than worry about a game that was pretty much over in the 2nd quarter. What would you call last years OSU/ND game then if it wasn't a beat down? 617-348 total yards including a 275-62 rushing advantage. Troy Smith threw for over 300 yards and Pittman ran for over 100. Plus OSU turned the ball over twice and ND didn't at all. One of those turnovers was a Troy Smith fumble at the ND 9 yard line. The score of that game should have been much worse than it was. At the least it should be called a very convincing victory. Michigan outgained Ball State 507-297 on Nov. 4th and won the game by 8, and were 2 yards away from a possible tie game. Is that a beatdown? I could care less about any statistic other than the score when it comes to a football game. Could've would've should've means about as much in football as it does in any other sport - bupkus. So a game that ends with one team winning by three touchdowns but was back and forth the whole game - like no team led by more than 7 until late in the fourth quarter - would be considered a beatdown? You can't look at just the score when determining how dominant one team was in a game because one statistic does not tell you the whole story.
  12. And it stands.
  13. Wow. What a punt return for a TD by Pittsburgh. During the return a Pitt player took out 2 WVU players.

  15. Sorry these are a little late this week but here goes. Week 10: vance: 6-10 Mark: - ndistops: 6-10 soccer: 6-10 Ryan: - Truffle: 6-10 UMfan: 6-10 rawaction: - ChiCubsFan: 5-11 Overall: vance: 59-66 Mark: 31-39 ndistops: 64-75 soccer: 65-74 Ryan: 27-27 Truffle: 45-37 UMfan: 35-72 rawaction: 28-35 ChiCubsFan: 30-37 Note: There have been 5 ties overall (2 in Week 3, 2 in Week 5, 1 in Week 7)
  16. Yup. As long as he's not on the North Side next year I don't care where he goes.
  17. Agreed. Me too. Count me in on this as well.
  18. I agree. That being said, I would pick Westbrook but would be content with either if we don't have to give up too much.
  19. Why couldn't he have just let a rookie back Barrett up? Blanco's contract according to Cot's: - $0.75M signing bonus - 07:$1.8M, 08:$2.8M, 09:$3M club option ($0.3M buyout) - 2009 option may become guaranteed based on 07-08 performance - escalators may increase 2009 option to $4.5M
  20. That fee is insane. Like many others, I don't mind that the Cubs didn't win this bidding and am happy that the Cubs, reportedly, actually put in a serious bid. I doubt they expected Boston to bid as much as they did.
  21. Oregon was #5 last year and didn't go. Cal was #5 in 2004 as well.
  22. Theriot will certainly regress, but he's young enough to be learning still. Derosa will be 32 next February. He's not going to get any better. Bingo.
