    If Tampa and Oakland can do what they did, there is no reason Pittsburgh can't. At least they have a built in fan base where if they do have any success, the reaction will be strong. They would not struggle to sell playoff tickets. It also helps that they are in the same division as the Cubs instead of the Yankees and Red Sox. The reason Pittsburgh couldn't do it before was because of a totally inept front office. That's not the case anymore, and I could see them start to compete in a couple years

    It's really gross-looking. They went overboard

    More than Nebraska/Texas A&M? absoeffinglutely Ha ha. No one in the south gives a [expletive] about Iowa-Ohio State. Hell, no one seems to care anything about the Big Ten in the south. Man, that's a relief, because I don't give a [expletive] about anyone in the south either

    I thought Hurdle was pretty bad. Like, more in common with Charlie Manuel than anyone else

    Reading DePo's wiki page is pretty frustrating. I didn't know just how much Plaschke sucked until now

    He might, but there's a lot on anecdotal evidence to the contrary. By all accounts, his teammates hated him his whole career

    I've read this post twice and my first suspicions were correct; literally everything you said here is wrong

    I got this far and figured you were being sarcastic

    In related news, Beertown to spent night banging head against wall

    The real reason it's there is because Brent and Kirk will be doing the Ohio State/Iowa game. And why are they calling that game? Biggest draw of a disney broadcasted game this weekend? More than Nebraska/Texas A&M? absoeffinglutely

    They might in the top-half of Chicago-area Big Ten fans. Maybe. For football. I think there are more OSU fans in the city than Northwestern fans. Not to mention Michigan, State, Illinois and Iowa That's my point. There's way too many Big Ten alums in Chicago for anyone to claim that it is "their" city. I know

    Seriously. Why don't they paint the scoreboard, too

    I agree. We know that great players come from the dominican republic all the time. We think asia may have that same potential but no one has developed a star player who wasnt already a professional there. The point is quit messing around and pay for players we know that can be good not that we hope are good. Why we arent continually signing top latin american prospects is beyond me. Latin America is a sesspool of corruption and misinformation. I think MLB is doing their best to clean up things, but right now I'd rather the Cubs not get deeply involved financially and spend high dollars elsewhere. I especially love the practice of "hiding" players. I'm happy to attempt to tap into a new market, as well.

    This is why you and Jersey aren't going to see eye to eye

    This goes without saying, but that's a much, much better list Is Rolen still a GG'r over there? Seemed less than impressive in the few games of his that I saw. Agh, beat me but I was gonna say that he certainly wasn't better than Zimmerman. The aware was on rep alone, on a par with Jeter. My only other problem on that list is Victorino. There are a slew of more deserving players.

    If you assume that Fukudome is gone no matter what, and you have seen some of the garbage Hendry has gotten in return for his salary dumps (Izturis, DeWitt, Silva, Hairston), you could definitely do worse than Dice K. That said, I'm in the camp that wouldnt take on a dime of salary in the trade. If they want to eat $12 million over 2 years to make the deal I'm willing to see what upside he has in the NL. Obviously there are significant risks (Injuries, inconsistency, general fatigue, etc) but I think he's got the kind of upside we aren't going to find much of in a Fukudome trade. I certainly don't agree with you lumping all of that garbage in the same sentence. Posters were clamoring to get rid of Theriot and getting Dewitt seems like a good deal. As for dumping Bradley to get Silva (plus the money for Byrd), that definitely has to go in the plus column for Hendry. The trade wasn't Theriot for Dewitt though. I was fairly sure that conventional wisdom said the trade worked out as Lilly for the prospects and Theriot for Dewitt more or less straight-up

    Wow, dude. OMC's response did not sound biased against your school at all. When you typed this response, I pictured you shutting your eyes, blowing out your cheeks and plugging your ears, btw.

    Hmm, I always thought he was a giant prick. Good for him.

    That's pretty good. But I still hate Jay-Z

    Do you agree with these crazies? I mean, I know we've had lots of problems with mobile QBs in the past, but our line has never been this good. I'm much more worried about a team that can occasionally play some defense and get pressure with their front four.

    Iowa is really stupidly doing the same thing with Northwestern, a team that has pretty much owned us this decade After the Indiana game, I doubt they're overlooking NU. Ok well not the team, but most of the fans sure are I wouldn't say that. Most people I talk to are a lot more worried about Northwestern than Ohio State. umm what
