  1. I don't think they can. Unless they are currently taking HGH as a recreational drug right now, I don't see any way to keep these guys out. I think they will all get in after this whole thing calms just down; just not right away.
  2. I was just thinking that they needed another infielder who can't hit. Glad to hear he's off the market.
  3. A really good example of this would be Kahlil Green
  4. I really appreciate this post because it was totally not apparent which was harder to do, given the ambiguity of my previous post. Thanks! My clicker obviously hit the tv because I had no idea which was the correct answer.
  5. You said on another thread that you don't really believe in your own superiority but I think it is crap. You are in love with yourself and it's a damn shame.
  6. You do realize if he makes it back this season, it will be his last because Dusty will finish what he started. Sure. I hope some guys like Murton and Marshall leave and be really good because they would never have been given a chance on the Cubs. The excitement of bringing Prior up through our system and seeing his 2003 year is something I will never forget, and I would be miserable if I saw him even somewhat successful for another team. I hope he is injured the rest of his life and never pitches again. It sounds like we gave him a fair enough offer, and if it's not good enough, soap-drop him. I hope he pissed away the most money he'll ever make in the majors. I can't and won't blame the staff if the guy never wanted to be here. I hope I never miss him as much as I'll miss the idea of him on the Cubs. I blame Dusty.
  7. Is this thing for sure? When is the deadline?
  8. If you don't want to explain it again. Don't mention Roberts name in a thread about Tejada. Snap!
  9. I was gonna ask how to say "this girl is too manly" in Japanese and then I saw her ass.
  10. I read this again and I'm still right. I knew this in 8th grade. Your arguments are hilarious!!
  11. Thank you, I am aware of the Eastern convention of writing full names. I am, however, 100% confident that Kosuke is his given name and Fukudome is his surname. Every scouting report and media story has written it "Kosuke Fukudome," many of those stories written by people intimately familiar with the Japanese game. Furthermore, here is Team Japan's roster from the World Baseball Classic. He's listed as "Kosuke Fukudome" on that roster, elsewhere on which Ichiro Suzuki and Daisuke Matsuzaka, among others, have their names listed the same (Western; given name, surname) way. He intends to wear KOSUKE on his Cubs jersey on the advice of former teammate Alex Ochoa, who told him FUKUDOME just might not translate well. That anecdote is cited in this article,, the source being a Baseball Prospectus interview with Ochoa. YES! In Japan, your surname is given before your given name!! You are OH SO WRONG!!! Kosuke is his family name, while Fukudome is his given name! Wow it's a good thing you are so versed in the Japanese language!
  12. woah, lets not get ahead of ourselves. That's not too far fetched. If the Cubs managed to get Roberts and trade for a decent SS (Khalil Greene, maybe?), I think they would be the best team in the NL. Of course, those things would have to happen, but only one of them would make the Cubs the best team in the Central. Of course, that's not saying much. Brandon Roberts is meaningless. The Cubs would improve of course, but not enough to justify trading anyone, even felix pie. Yes, I just advocated NOT trading Pie. Who is this Brandon Roberts of whom you speak? But seriously, while Roberts is only a marginal upgrade from DeRosa, he does bring a little bit more to the table , IMO. It wouldn't hurt my feelings in the least if Hendry forgets about Brain Roberts, but I foresee Jimbo going out and getting him, so I am trying to accept it. Clearly the biggest problem is SS. If I were Hendry, I would offer Prior arbitration, then package him with Murton and others for Khalil Greene. I think Greene would be a fantastic upgrade. *Sigh* Brian. I've typed out Brandon Roberts 1,000 times the last week or so since the rumors started, I've caught it every time but this one. Brandon Roberts is a guy I played ball with in school. Please excuse our ignorance, Meph-san.
  13. Just the same, I wouldn't get too worked up over any rumor posted on a message board, we are usually among the unwashed masses who get to know when everyone else does. I imagine Bruce Miles will know something before bigbird. For the sake of the legitimacy of nsbb, lets hope so ;-)
  14. Man, if Littlefield were there we'd have four representing the NL central! What a shame.
  15. I didn't think anything would make me root for the Yankees 3 or 4 years ago, but Boston fans pulled it off. Boston fans by a nose.
  16. Sabean because the Giants' success is the least proportional to their budget. I put Colletti at #2 for the same reason.
  17. Anyone remember the Sports Center segment where they asked Schlareth (I think) which was HARDER to do - go 0-16 or 16-0? In case anyone was watching, my clicker broke when it hit the tv.
  18. Pretty certain that if Murton starts in right, managers will certainly use defensive replacement for Matt whether Pie is in center or not. If Ethier is enough superior to Murton to obviate that practice is encouraging. What?
  19. Welcome to the board. You're going to hate that screen name in time. :D Great, so we now know Fukudome is a "family" guy. Well that should be enough to get Hendry to throw another 10m a year at him. Jimmy's checklist: Speedy: check Left handed hitter: check Catches the ball: check Can lead off: check Good character guy: check Folks, we got a winner! I just hope there isn't another traderumor in here. :) Oh, there are tons. :lol:
  20. Ned apparently would have us believe he doesn't regret the contract but I don't think he's fooling anybody. His own words ooze regret from every syllable. I especially like the bolded quote. Nobody says stuff like that about a big contract they're happy with. Poor Ned. He's as bad a spin doctor as he is a GM. http://www.latimes.com/sports/printedition/la-sp-dodgers7dec07,0,140622.story?coll=la-headlines-pe-sports Exactly how I would have put it. But you can't exactly trash the guy's contract while he's still on your team. Interestingly enough, "it is what it is" has become something of a calling card for Pierre. An FJM post a while back quoted him saying the same thing multiple times when asked about his horrid OBP. Funny stuff.
  21. Maybe I'm just not attracted to him in the same way others are, but I think that's quite steep. Agreed. I'd do any two of them, but not all three. -Sorry- That's what she said. -Sorry, watching too much Office lately-
  22. I vote French Silk. Oh wait, that's not on there. [Conan's voice]WHAAAAAAAAT?![/Conan's voice]
