  1. As critical as I am of Meph's random, unfounded posts, even I am satisfied with this explanation. He comes right out and explains it in like the second post.
  2. Gotta have experience, man.
  3. you bet your ass they are. 1. You're looking at ERA (AKA you're wasting your time) 2. I don't look at ERA and I had no idea that he led the league in ERA (and I don't care) 3. His splits are fine. Forget about them. 4. He's a good number 3, poor number 2. That's exactly what everyone thinks he is. 5. b/c of 1-4 your Blanton "analysis" -- if it can be called that -- is meaningless. You seriously drive me nuts sometimes. You have had three posts on this thread and you STILL haven't answered WHY his splits are not a big deal. I can't possibly see why they would not be, but I'm not blessed with your level of genius. Maybe you could descend long enough to explain this to us lesser forms? Would be appreciated.
  4. Haha. This is random, and I may be a bit immature, but did you read what some Dodgers forum replied to a guy when he posted one of the insiders rumored trades? I don't know why but I was LMAO. Note: Profanity inside http://www.dodgerblues.com//fanforum/nfphpbb/viewtopic.php?p=186758#186758 HAHAHAHHA I loved the part where he says the trade in terms of describing people ( a future ace, a serviceable 3B...) and then he gets to Pierre. I'm just jealous they can swear. It certainly does make it more entertaining. Less classy, but more entertaining. Please! Like anyone on here is classy. The 1st response alone was great. Yeah I should have stopped reading after that.
  5. Go back while you still have the chance! Don't follow the light! Is "the light" referring to money? Because I'm sick of being poor, I'll follow that pretty much anywhere!
  6. This is why Jimbo has declared him untouchable. And this is mostly wrong, for these reasons. I really thought at first that you were trying to push people's buttons by uttering the four-letter word that is "five-tool prospect." Guess you just didn't know any better. Jimmy Rollins won a gold glove this year. David Wright won over Aramis. That said, I agree with most or all of the trades proposed involving Pie, and contend that none of them are for "crap."
  7. <3 being 21 \:D/ In about 5 mos, when I'm 22, it won't be cool to go to the bars on the MU campus anymore, so I'm livin this up! I also won't be in college :shock:
  8. 26? he's almost been with the Cardinals that many years I thought he'd only been in the states for five or six...
  9. I wonder why And now they re-signed him. I wonder why
  10. 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.
  11. I was just thinking that they needed another infielder who can't hit. Glad to hear he's off the market.
  12. A really good example of this would be Kahlil Green
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Is this thing for sure? When is the deadline?
  17. If you don't want to explain it again. Don't mention Roberts name in a thread about Tejada. Snap!
  18. I was gonna ask how to say "this girl is too manly" in Japanese and then I saw her ass.
  19. I read this again and I'm still right. I knew this in 8th grade. Your arguments are hilarious!!
  20. 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!
  21. 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.
  22. 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 ;-)
