  1. i'd say the cubs' chances of getting hamels next offseason just got a lot more realistic. in 2013, the phils will have 92.5m tied up in halladay, lee, papelbon, howard, and utley. add hamels to that and you're talking about something like 110 million for 6 players. oh, and howard's salary jumps from 20m to 25 after 2013. if howard and utley don't bounce back (and even if they do), how the hell are they going to score runs? even if they trade halladay next offseason to clear up space for hamels, can they really afford to give another 100+ million dollar contract to a pitcher?
  2. this story is hilarious on a number of levels http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7217076/former-nba-center-shawn-bradley-stolen-custom-bicycle-found
  3. i still wish the cubs would bring back a hat with this logo- http://logoinspirations.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Chicago-Cubs-ALT.jpg
  4. you know what the worst part is? the lack of respect. well, the rape is the worst part. but the lack of respect is the second worst part.

  6. they're getting david kelton and francis beltran
  7. let's get ice-t to investigate this.
  8. wow 4/44 for madson is bad even when you don't consider the phillies situation. when you take into account lee/howard and the looming halladay/hamels decisions, it's mind boggling.
  9. Strikeouts don't matter didn't you get the memo that's an incredibly obnoxious comment, and you know it. the "strikeouts don't matter that much" argument is made in refernece to how the strikeouts actually affect the game. when determining how a player is likely to perform in future situations, strikeouts are very important. I thought a guy with a .900 OPS and 150 Ks is equally as valuable as a guy with a .900 OPS and 50 Ks. Do I have that wrong? did you even read my post? are you intentionally pretending not to understand, or are you seriously failing to grasp this simple premise?
  10. mark teixeira can't even ops .850 as a switch hitter in [expletive] yankee stadium. yeah, awesome contract.

  12. what is wrong with ramirez's disposition? compared to most athletes who performed at a level as high as him, he was ridiculously humble. he never complained. he never casued any problems in the clubhouse. he never ever gave the media a chance to force some kind of controversy on him. ramirez's disposition was fantastic. he kept his mouth shut, produced, and never caused problems. i'd say he was a model team member.
  13. Career K% Howard- 27.4 Fielder- 18.5 this argument is laughable
  14. Spoken like a guy who has added nothing to the discussion. The [expletive]? Is this the same guy jumping between accounts? well, that puts this argument to rest. NEXT.
  15. these kids are supposed to be pissed, yet every kid they show is smiling and laughing
  16. lol @ the guy pulling the rooftop camera thing out of the truck and then realizing he couldnt do anything more with it
  17. dude you can't trick people into thinking you won an argument by saying "next"
  18. not just for life, UNTIL THE END OF TIIIIIIMMEEEEEEEE
  19. yea tom rinaldi, let's give props to the kids who are being morons in a civil manner
  20. i want to murder them so bad
  21. wow look at these morons smile and laughing
  22. basically just talked about the stupidity of the kids rioting for a football coach while the families of the victims are sitting at home watching them support paterno on tv. his voice was kind of rising a little bit and you could tell he was pissed and wanted to say more.
