it's pretty much a gaurantee that both of those things won't happen. the cubs are either going to have to eat a huge chunk of his contract, or they're going to be taking back a bad contract.

Have there been any rumors about Baltimore? It wouldn't surprise me to see a crap team get Bradley, since whoever gets him is going to end up getting a pretty good deal. The off the field stuff probably wouldn't be a big deal to a team like that. They're going to suck anyways, so who cares if he's a "distraction" or whatever nonsense mose of these GMs are afraid of. Also, nobody goes to Orioles games, which seems like a perfect fit for Milton. Nobody is going to hound him like he was in Chicago because nobody really cares. Seems like it would be a good idea for a crap team to jump on Bradley knowing they're going to get him for dirt cheap, then hope he has a good year and flip him at the deadline or next offseason.

anybody else hear the quote from VDN about how the nets are just now getting healthy and theyre going to start winning a bunch of games? GTFO you goon

hahahahahahhaa
-
absolutely horrible
-
hasn't austin jackson's stock dropped quite a bit? that package seems kind of light, at least compared to what they were supposedly asking for.

brad penny is a back of the rotation starter
-
haha ray lewis just did the same thing

Bruce Sutter, Rollie Fingers and Satchel Paige. He did say STARTING pitchers. Sutter had exactly zero major league starts, and Fingers and Paige had few enough starts they weren't considered starting pitchers. Regardless, this was the key part of his response to benchwarmer's asinine thinking: Thanks for also proving my point. Still waiting for that HOF pitcher list to enlighten me. what are you trying to prove anyways? that really awesome pitchers usually have winning records? your argument is really weird

that was the 3rd vid

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tb12jQtskE it was bad, but still not as bad as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py58MvU5Zco or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImxR20TgNA0

That's not good use of money, tho. Any contract the Cubs are forced to take back in the Bradley deal won't be a good use of money. It won't be a good use of money if the Cubs have to eat a bunch of the salary either. One of those 2 things is going to happen though, so it's all about picking the least crappy option right now.

I'm not sure I'd want Burrell in RF over Kosuke even against lefties.

ej henderson
-
What exactly happened to him, I didn't see. he was injured injured bad
-
this is big
-
hahahah sweet no look pass, brett. that looked ridiculous
-
finally
-
catch the fuckin ball you goons
-
I think the idea would be for the Cubs to flip Burrell to the Mets for Castillo. Like the Cubs with wanting to trade Bradley then sign Cameron, then Mets want to trade Castillo to sign Orlando Hudson. that's not wsr's plan though. he wants to keep burrell

im interested in this epic burger

Well it depends on how you go about fielding that old team. The Cubs were older than most and not good. If you have 32 year old stars, you have known quantities and will be good. If you have 31 year old mediocre players, you will be younger but worse. And generally, the youngest teams will be teams in transition, who had to get rid of their established players and go with a bunch of youth, much of which maybe should still be in the minors. Youth, in and of itself, is not a quality. But at the same time, neither is age. A 36 year old journeyman is a 36 year old journeyman and a 23 overmatched player is still overmatched. If you are older, but good, that's great, if you are older, and not good, that's really bad. And that's the Cubs. If you are younger and good, that is ideal, but if you are a younger and bad, at least there is room for improvement. I agree, but age alone is not a negative. Some here act like that's the most important metric. Age is the most important metric when you're giving multi-year contracts to guys on the wrong side of 30. lolll

If we sign Cameron, then where the hell does Burrell even play? Not that it's a decent option anyways. And Burrell would be worse than both of those guys in RF.

there's no reason that this should be a 46 yarder.

oh man, that would have been awesome
