    is there anything more exciting than your team acquiring a stud player out of nowhere?

    Just because they are young pitchers? You can only get 2 different kinds of young players. Young pitchers, and young hitters. It's not like it would be some huge coincidence if the Padres wanted young pitching and so did the Cubs... for themselves.

    we would have? why? scioscia isn't much better than dusty and he's definitely not better than lou..... and i'm only "meh" on lou.

    You guys are forgetting about the main theme of this offseason..... the "we need to get more left handed" obsession. I think they got rid of DeRosa for that and for the money. They wanted Fontenot's LHB in there every day vs righties and they liked Miles ability to "hit" from the left side. I don't agree with it at all, but I think that's one of the main reasons they udmped DeRosa.

    if gregg pitches like he has the past 2 seasons and heilman pitches like he normally does, the back of our bullpen will be really solid. better than last year.

    Go Vancouver/Dallas Go Calgary/Anaheim you'd rather face vancouver? We ain't winning the Stanley Cup this year... I'd love to play the Canucks in round 1. stranger things have happened. the sharks have been choke artists in recent years and detroit has awful goaltending. if khabi gets hot like he did with the lightning in 2004, you never know. either way, it's not all or nothing. we probably aren't winning the cup, but it's important that we make noise in the playoffs and win a series. i think we have a better chance of beating calgary than vancouver.

    I'm ready to finally admit this, and believe me it isn't easy. I was sitting here tonight, thinking about LeBron. I do that sometimes; think about LeBron. LeBron can and very likely will surpass Jordan. Barring injury or other unnatural circumstance, there is nothing Jordan could do that this man can't and more. Every team in the East and maybe the whole league is now in NBA purgatory. Ain't nobody winning a title without an LeBron injury or some unholy player pairing like Wade and Howard joining forces. League over, go home. until lebron comes remotely close to accomplishing what jordan did in the playoffs over his career, it's pointless to compare them. there are just so many legendary shots and performances in general from jordan that made him so special. right now lebron has the 48 point game 5 against detroit and that's it. it's going to be about a decade before we can start comparing lbj to mj. raw talent/skill wise? that's another story.

    you signed a contract knowing you were suppose to earn it. he hasn't come close to earning it and won't. if i'm the angels i say "you want a chance to play every day? fine, we'll release you. all you have to do is forfeit the rest of your contract. basically you can stay here and be a bench player for 3/32, or you can test your luck somewhere else. what do you choose?"
  18. 17 Seconds
    this sounds like the definition of a desperation move
  19. 17 Seconds
    Yeah I like that idea
  20. 17 Seconds
    I love when crappy players who were lucky enough to get ridiculously big contracts (that they didn't deserve) bitch about playing time. Just shut up and be glad you're so rich for sucking
  21. 17 Seconds
    oh i thought you meant number 2 player. i suck
  22. 17 Seconds
    both of those guys are also better than gordon and did either of those guys win a title as a number 2?
  23. 17 Seconds
    if ben gordon is your number 2, you're never winning anything. it's as simple as that.
  24. 17 Seconds
    You can't be serious. what? every time gordon has a game where he goes off we hear about how awesome he is and that we need to pay him. so after one of his patented "i'm ice cold tonight but i'm going to keep heaving up shots like crazy anyways" nights i can't call him out? or it could be because of his overall stats. which aren't great. he's a good shooter, that's it. he averages like 20, 3, and 3. that's a guy you want to give a huge contract to? that's a waste of money on a non-star player. we need to save that money and go after one of the 2010 guys to pair with rose. THAt is how we'll win a championship. not by giving big contracts to alright players like gordon.
