any chance this game doesn't end on an interception in the endzone?
-
That was a perfect call. It might have lost the Bears the game. i dont know why youre having such a hard time understanding the difference between a bad call and a bad throw. if cutler does his job, that's a touchdown and you're probably praising the call
-
good thing they wasted the full 2 minutes on their last 3 and out
-
With a good throw you have a touchdown. but he's shown all night he cant make the good throw how many wide open touchdowns has cutler missed tonight? i can think of at least 3
-
man, cutler is garbage. what an awful trade this is turning out to be and more excellent clock management. just waste some more time
-
why not wait until the end of the play clock to call that timeout? you probably just gave them like an extra 20 seconds
-
yeah thats a terrible package
-
suck on that
-
that better not be a goal
-
oh get the [expletive] out of here oh well, it wont matter
-
i didnt think so but i wasnt really sure exactly how fip works. the only reason i did it is because he used it.
-

-

Right, but that's Harden. Harden is not Halladay. Take his injury history out of it and there's still no comparison. If I'm Tom Ricketts and this comes across my desk, I'm not dismissing it out of hand just because of the price tag. And as far as the other players, I might be willing to put up with Sam Fuld in CF if it allows me to have Doc Halladay at the top of the rotation. His acquisition alone should lock up the Central Division crown. And if they're in first place come the deadline, players can be gotten for the stretch run. Once you get into the playoffs, other teams are looking at quite the rotation. And, you know, it's been a while since...well, I don't really need to say it, do I? I understand all the arguments against and they're valid, but you've got to at least see this thing through... The Harden thing was just an example. The point is, all indications so far have been that they have much less than 16 million to spend on next season. I don't really think it matters how good he is or how bad Hendry might want him. BTW, I wouldn't say adding Halladay locks up anything. The offense and bullpen would be highly questionable going into next season.
-
guys, he's owed 16 million next year. if hendry can't even afford to offer harden arbitration (and still needs an outfielder and maybe a 2b) there's no way in hell he can afford that.
-
who's ready for castillo in the 2 hole all year?
-
he is? Marshall's 2009 FIP was 4.10 Grabow's 2009 FIP was 4.29 in PIT and 3.83 for CHC The difference in salary is now ridiculous, of course Grabows FIP was worse in 2009 Grabow 2009- 4.20 Marshall 2009- 4.19 Grabow 2008- 4.54 Marshall 2008- 4.39 Grabow 2007- 4.28 Marshall 2007- 4.62 Also Marshall is 27 and has gotten better each of the last 3 seasons. Grabow is 31 and hasn't really shown any trend of improving.
-
yea if you dont have enough to pay for a good player you might as well waste the money you do have by overpaying for mediocrity.
-
i fuckin love this team

Cubs trade Heilman

Those guys will be getting much bigger contracts then Grabow got. They are all Type A FA's, which is going to depress their value. They also stand a fighting chance of being worth their contract, even if it's higher than Grabow's. Pay for quality, not mediocrity. Oh my lord just imagine the howling on here if Hendry were to follow your recommendation and forfeit a first-round pick to sign a middle reliever to a contract larger than the one Grabow got. Oh brother. not that it matters, but those guys aren't really middle relievers -
just give us one
-
remember that guy who won the lottery twice in like a month? luck, or awesome lottery skills?
