javy knows my name

just to review this post. like half of NSBB has suggested good alternatives to your options (which was faulty - bray pitched fewer than 2 innings), like not blowing through the bullpen like a complete spaz, using a utility infielder (who isn't valuable) to pitch, not managing the game like it's a must-win since the team is already 6.5 games behind and that extra win is very unlikely to matter at the end of the year, and using the next day's starter rather than your best starter who happens two nights removed from throwing 100+ pitches. yet you continue to insist that dusty went with his only real option available. And just because "NO manager would choose c)" doesn't mean that c) isn't the best option

He sounds like a very intelligent, well-reasoned individual. And HCCF appoves of this sentence.

That doesn't make it correct. And that label is applied by racists

And here I pegged him as a bleeding heart liberal

maybe his name is davearm2 because he REALLY wants us to think he has two arms because he is j. walter weatherman, kind of conveying important messages http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peLg3xECO5g/SIs_b3I1kII/AAAAAAAAAK4/8ppnYKyqg9Y/s320/Pier_Pressure59.jpg And that's why you don't put a position player in to pitch. Hahahahahaha

God, I want to punch this guy in the taint

Who cares? Do I care how much money Pujols ultimately makes? No, I don't Is my above point germane to the discussion? Yuuuup

Dumbest tangent ever?

Or it's just a ridiculous sum of money to those making middle-class wages. I certainly don't begrudge certain classes of people for what they make as it is what the market will bear. However, I just can't empathize with someone making $10 million dollars a year wanting to make $20 million. I want my bills to get paid on time. But you empathize with the billionaire owner who wants to hold on to even more money for himself Where are you getting that? I don't empathize the sums of money on either side. It's the rich fighting the richer. Wow, listen to yourself. The money has to go somewhere. Does it stay in the pocket of the billionaire owner for no reason, or does it go to the guy who makes the product on the field what it is (a.k.a. makes the owner his money)?

Hook me up!

James Murphy has spoken. P.S. I agree

Oh man, thanks, I would have missed this

As LaRussa said, they'll use it as a precedent to decide future salary demands. They have a vested interest in making sure that the best player in the world gets paid like it, basically

Derrek Lee last year?? or was he a 10/5 guy? I know he waived something to go to Braves, didn't he turn down a trade to Angels or someone on the West Coast? 10/5 rights

Horrible, should've traded him the to rays. There goes money for Pujols to be sent into another guaranteed injury. Never ever sign relievers to contracts longer than 1 year. Hendry needs to go. Please TT I'll sign the petition. By all means, let this guy keep posting and keep banning IMB! for saying hilarious things that are awesome

I will not have JJ Redick on my team. Nope nope nope

And God damn

He sounds like an [expletive]

Aaron Harang is too pitchy. Get it? Someone get Captain Picard in here

I love it. Way to divorce Pujols from his own decision-making. And he's contradicted twice in that short article.

this made me smile Yeah, I think I like this guy

I'm sure that DePaul didn't really have a strong shot of getting him, but damn you for stealing him away from DePaul. We need him a lot more than you! I was looking at some recruiting stuff last night and DePaul has a bunch of offers out to top players. Stephens had ties to Purdue and Weber so I think it was always going to be one of the two. Is DePaul ever going to get an arena on campus? Have you ever been to Lincoln Park? Not happening unless they want to buy about 100 multi million dollar properties, have them rezoned, and have a bunch of millionaires agree to it. Maybe something by the Kennedy between North and Fullerton, but not technically on campus. Yeah, I used to live in Lincoln Park... "The Finkl Steel Company is relocating to the south side of Chicago and their current location at Clybourn and Cortland is within walking distance of DePaul's Lincoln Park campus. An 8,000-10,000 seat arena is something that the university higher ups are considering. Real estate experts that I contacted today told me that the Finkl property is intriguing because it may not be suitable for residential use due to In addition, a recent post in a Chicago real estate blog TheChicago77.com discussed the Finkl property as it relates to DePaul University. The site says: The Finkl & Sons site is located on the east bank of The Chicago River at Southport Ave, and Cortland Street within steps of DePaul's main campus and due to its heavy industrial use over the past 100 years the site is believed to be to contaminated for many real estate re adaptations. So it seems the current thinking is that instead of removing all the over-sized foundations so closely positioned by the rivers edge that it might be far simpler and safer to just remove all the top soil, pave over the site and any possible contamination." http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/david-kaplan-chicago-sports/depaul-basketball/#ixzz1E2pdXsSq I just never heard anything else about this... WOAH

While I would like to see Colvin be a 25+ HR guy, I would hate to see your wiener so I don't know which way to go on this one. It's really not too bad edit: i heard That SSR can not keep a secret

Well that didn't need to be done at all, did it
