  1. And did you miss the part where Koyie Hill was there?
  2. Brunner was 6'6" at best. Yes, but he had the athleticism of a 6'10 white guy. But seriously, I was remembering him being a little bigger than that.
  3. No [expletive], I haven't looked forward to a basketball season in a while, and I'm pretty excited. It'll be interesting to see if they add another guy or bank that scholarship. I saw a blurb last evening from somebody that he is a legit 6'10" now. I'm struggling to remember the last time we had somebody that tall that possibly had some game, Seth Gorney excluded. Greg Brunner
  4. Perfect. Why didn't the thread end here?
  5. He didn't call him a savage. He said he's acting like a savage. There's a difference FYI. And it's hard to dispute, looking at the behavior. Straight out of the Milton Bradley archives. You've become an awful caricature of yourself at this point
  6. If Felix Pie was white and did the same thing, you think Scott would say he was acting like a savage? Would Davearm?
  7. Luke Scott cheerfully calling someone a savage is one of the more infuriating things I've pictured lately. Hey look, Davearm's wrong again!
  8. Yay for marginal minor league transactions!
  9. Just a shade better than Loria Would you link me to a good read about what exactly he did to the Expos?
  10. I just got "tOSU." I'm smart
  11. That was my second game of the year and the second in which we put up 3+ runs in the 8th to re-take the lead. Awesome game
  12. I'm at the game and that was the easiest double switch call in the history of the game.
  13. I know. It was a bit of a straw man
  14. OMG I love Cam's face when the cab lights up
  15. Colvin better not be on the team as a starter in 2013
  16. I'd suggest not telling people you think your team is cursed. I always find it funny how its OK to believe that a baseball team is cursed, but not that a fat bearded man in a red suit brings gifts to children or a giant rabbit gives them chocalate eggs. This is so strange. You're right, those are totally the same thing. Also, it's not ok to believe that a baseball team is cursed. Who told you that? Eh, it's as factual of an opinion as a lot of the other things silly people believe literally in. But no, you're right, believing that a hundred year drought equals a curse of some sort ISN'T the same thing as parents needlessly lying to their kids. EDIT: Anyway, the only reason some of us let our poor brains take comfort in a curse is because the reality is too depressing. That we're rooting for a team that has lost over one hundred years in a row and aren't strong enough to break our addiction to said team. But that's just being human, seeing patterns where there really is only random human history. And I understand that. But call it what it is; a coping mechanism and not an avowed belief. Some people truly believe it, is my point. And those people are dumb.
  17. What do the Brewers and Rays have in common that the Cubs don't? It would make little sense for the Cubs to lock into a long-term contract to hedge against arbitration/inflation right now. The threat of being saddled with an injury on a long-term contract is way scarier than Castro commanding 15 million in 4 years.

  19. I've got ocean view property in Orlando I'd like to sell her.
  20. Hit him wherever you like, Mike, but don't call him "Cassie". as someone whose HS baseball coach shortened my name in a similar fashion (which likewise sounded like a girl's name), I hope Castro can resist the urge to beat him to death with a fungo bat. Heh. Whatever, yours wasn't as bad as "Cassie." Also, they didn't add insult to injury by making you tote a pink backpack all season.
  21. Absolutely do this, because I have tickets to tomorrow's game
  22. Jay Jackson very well might. By the time the next Russell/insta-loss spot comes up, it should be Jays throw day as well. Is Jay ready to go 5-6 innings and throw 85-95 pitches? Didn't he just leave extended ST to join Tenn.? Jackson went 5 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K for Iowa last night, throwing 69 pitches. Any reports about his velocity? Is it still down, but not down enough to check for an injury? I don't understand why they're handling this the way they are.
  23. Nah, you're probably right; Cam and his dad decided to turn down the cash from MSU and go play for Auburn for free. I never said I had any hard proof. I'm just mocking your willingness to seemingly close your eyes and plug your ears (lalalalalala) while the evidence piles up around you.
  24. hahaha lmao...ok, the 'perpetual mudslinging' post probably deserved to be mocked, but BtB, you're just riding SSRs coattails around this thread, patting him on the back. you can do better. For what it's worth, I'm sure Auburn University has or had boosters that would be willing to pay players....However, I don't believe Auburn University athletic department has orchestrated a pay for play scheme, nor have I seen evidence to this point that any of the accusations, even those made by disgruntled Chaz Ramsey, are going to stick. There's much I can say about your willful ignorance to the goings-on in Auburn football that hasn't already been said. So I laugh. Hey man, if you can provide specifics, name names, please enlighten me as to what is happening at Auburn Univeristy. I would, but I'd really hate to perpetuate the culture of mudslinging that's tarnishing its reputation so
