    So you're saying the Hawks have a thin blue line, but they should deal Campbell? I'm not sure I see your logic... Campbell's having an All Star-caliber season. Moving him would not only hurt the depth more than moving two 3rd-line guys, but it would be nearly impossible to replace his value on the ice. Also, if you look at the Hawks' prospects, they have to top-shelf defenseman at the top of their organization named Shawn LaLonde and Dylan Olsen. LaLonde could easily replace Barker next year (Hendry already has for a week+), and Hendry could slide into Sopel's spot with minimal impact to the on-ice quality of the play. Then we would only need to bring on a rental for Hendry's bench slot next year, which we could do ont he cheap. Sopel + Barker are making $5.333M and could both be replaced internally. Campbell is indeed making north of $7M, but we cannot replace him for cheaper than $5M, and would have to do so via free agency. Also, we're not going to deal a contract the size/length of Campbell's without taking salary back, and we can't afford that. We could, however, deal Barker/Sopel for picks/prospects and not miss a beat. :hello: i don't think campbell is as good as his numbers indicate this season. he is replaceable.

    How is admitting that he used steroids for over a decade, including 1998 when he broke the single season HR record, not coming completely clean? because he's pretending it didn't help his performance. it's embarrassing. What does it matter? He admitted using them. because it's completely obvious that the only reason he's admitting it is because he's basically being forced to. he knows he'd be hounded non-stop about it when he starts with the cards if he didn't. you seriously don't see what we're talking about? he's half assing the whole thing and not being real. he's lying about why he used them, and everybody can see how bad he looks except for cardinal fans. he's just making himself look incedibly cowardly. everybody has known for years that he was on steroids, yet he could never suck it up and be a man and admit it. then, when he finally does admit it, he still cant tell the whole truth and has to protect himself by telling more lies. it's pathetic. he's like a scared little chil who is terrified to admit the truth, even though everyboy knows it. STEROIDS ARE WHAT MADE YOU BREAK THE RECORD. it's too bad, because before all this i always liked mcgwire, and i probably would have continued to like him if he just came all the way clean years ago.

    Yeah. Who needs guys who know what the hell they're doing out there? im pretty sure that players who have gotten to the majors have a pretty good idea of how to play the game. i have a question. did you like the way dusty baker managed an offense? I don't like a single thing that Dusty Baker ever did. if you dont like the way dusty ran his offesne then you wont like the way ryno would run it either

    You make it sound the Hawks should be afraid. I'm sorry I can't get afraid of the Ducks, I simply can't. There is not a team in the West that the Hawks can't beat. And you could argue the Hawks could beat every team in the NHL. So you're statement, NUN, really should fall on deaf eyes. I don't disrepsect the Ducks, I, and I am pretty sure the Hawks players themselves will agree with what I am saying, just don't fear them. Well I was just trying to point out that the Hawks shouldnt be that down about losing to Anaheim. And also wanted to point out that Anaheim has PROVEN to be a real good playoff team in the last few years. But hey, if you want to believe the Hawks have already proven something, be my guest. the ducks are 8-11 in their last 2 postseasons, and the only series they won was against a san jose team that always chokes. the hawks won more games in last year's playoffs than the ducks did in the last 2 years combined. also, those ducks teams were actually GOOD in the regular seasons of those 2 years. they're not good this season.

    is it really even cheating if every team had players who were doing it?

    [expletive] John Grabow. If we had the money to spend, I wouldn't guarantee $10 million a year for Sheets anway. I think he wanted 10-12mil over 2 years, which Id defintiely do. Theres no way in hell hed get 10mil/year after sitting out 2009. That is correct. That was over 2 years. The sad news is that Cubs officials are saying that they can't afford it. That means their payroll situation is tighter than I thought. it was 10-12 each year, not overall

    [expletive] John Grabow. well of course his current asking price doesnt fit the budget, or any other team's budget for that matter. 2 years at 10-12 each year is ridiculous.

    i don't know if impossible is the right word, but baseball has been around forever and nobody has done it yet.

    Okay, this is clearly a well thought out argument. Would you like to elaborate on why, exactly, you think Sandberg would make a good manager? There have been plenty of well-reasoned arguments to the negative, but I have yet to see a single logical reason as to why he would be a good choice. He's fiery Who's to say I do think he would be a good manager? I just get tired of the constant overreactions and bashing every time his name is mentioned. Quite frankly, I'd be nervous if he was hired to replace Lou after this season. ther'es good reason to for the bashing, yet you act like there isn't/ rabble rabble dusty sucks rabble rabble

    btw, for the right price, i'd take sheets overall IP and performance from pretty much any of his season other than 2009 (obviously). he doesn't have to pitch close to 200 inning to help the team, and an incentive based deal owuld help protect against overpaying.

    he's not assistant gm. he's an assistant to the gm.

    And that list doesn't include 2008 where he was unable to make his last 2-3 starts in the Brewers playoff push as well as unable to play in the postseason. Again, I'm for the move because it's a really high reward. He's one of the top 5-10 pitchers in baseball when he's healthy, but he's not healthy all that much. he doesn't have to make 30 starts to help the team a lot
  23. 17 Seconds
    so he's saying that he used roids, but NOT to help his performance. i'm so [expletive] sick of these half apologies. i'd rather a guy just not say anything then half ass it and make excuses.
  24. 17 Seconds
    wait, so romo has one good playoff game (in the wild card round) and suddenly he's proven himself and is a changed man?
  25. 17 Seconds
    I could see this, and I think their baseball acumen would outweigh the obvious meatball fan pleasing factor Careful. You'll get run out of here with pitchforks and torches if you so much as even mention the possibility of Sandberg becoming manager. yeah its annoying how people dont want a terrible manager with outdated philosphies to run the cubs major league team. these are the same clowns who ran dusty out of town.
