  1. Yea, I'm near St. Pete and thats one everyone says. Doesn't mean much though. The Cubs position is just a signficantly better opportunity all around. The Rays this year are a pretty good example of why he's eventually going to have to leave, pretty much. The Rays are a very good team this season and still aren't remotely close to the playoffs.
  2. The minor league system sucks because they always give away their picks in compensation for signing Type A/B free agents. There was always kind of a disconnect between the Steinbrenners and Cashman. Cashman is more player-development orientated than casual fans think. He manages the Yankees, so they just assume his philosophy is to spend blindly, and that's not really true. Didn't he almost leave the Yankees a few years ago because he wanted to build up the farm system and George wanted to keep spending on whatever was avilable each offseason?
  3. Let's see if Hollandsworth compliments Soriano for being a leader with Castro.

  5. Bruce Miles has always been kind of a Hendry apologist.
  6. Oh man, that would be awesome just to hear what Kaplan/Stone/etc say
  7. Imagine if he ended the Red Sox drought and then ended the Cubs'.
  8. Tied with Youkilis at .861 The Cubs have to pick up his option, right? I wish I was more confident they would.
  9. sabr-themed tournament to find next gm and manager.
  10. It slipped. typical errormiss
  11. Why are you including Byrd, Dempster, and Marmol (maybe) in this list? those aren't bad contracts.
  12. athletes tend to not want to suck as they age.
  13. he's going to announce that jim hendry will be back next year to put to rest any speculation of him being fired. we all know it's coming.
  14. good, it's about time they got rid of hendry and quade.
  15. i doubt quade is back. hendry probably will be, but quade will be one of the guys who takes the fall for the nightmare season. everybody wants changes, and he's an easy guy to get rid of. an unknown guy with no experience who was basically getting a one year tryout this season. now we know he sucks and can move on.
  16. The fact that they didn't trade Pena makes me believe that they are going to try and keep him next season because they aren't going to go after Pujols or Fielder.
  17. i had no idea what to expect from quade going into this season, but i didn't think he could be this bad. yikes.
  18. god i hate baseball
  19. my reaction to this: "whatever"
  20. i love when people give hendry extra credit for the 2 division titles just because the cubs happen to also be horrible in the decades before him and how did that turn out for the cubs? certainly none of those big contracts have hurt the cubs in the past few years. but hey, we were pretty for 2 years in a row, so who cares.
  21. man, arod's life sounds so fun
  22. http://l.yimg.com/a/p/sp/editorial_image/4f/4fb98374373eba11cce0999e01812b3c/patrick_sharp_beautiful_chicagoan_inks_year_deal_with_blackhawks.jpg
  23. anybody else think yadi looks like the "have you ever had your [expletive] pushed in?" guy?
