    That's fine for non-fighters, but I hate when fighters try to play games. You're a fighter. If you're going to act like you're going to fight...then fight.

    There's no proof that it does happen. I don't need any proof because the argument I am countering has no proof. Actually, you do, since you're the one that called the other opinion "dumb". That's the difference. I never said you're for sure wrong and acted like my opinion was 100% fact. You did. If you're going to call people dumb you should probably have a better arugment than "I don't have proof but I think it's true so it is".

    So you don't think a pitcher is more likely to wear down if he throws more innings? 1. No a pitcher isn't more likely to wear down if he throws more innings spaced out over time. If the WBC's in January, that's another thing. It's not. And this is based on what? Do you have any proof? You don't think pitchers ever start to tire and lose a little bit of stuff towards the end of a long season? How can you act so sure that this doesn't happen? There's a difference between pitching in a game where you're actually trying to win and compete and a game where you're just trying to get work in.

    Hmm. Harden's shoulder issues were pretty significant towards the end of the season http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports_hardball/2009/02/piniella-were-going-to-get-it-done.html

    People complain about paying Bradley because of health concerns, but let's sign Hudson (who has health concerns). :-k Comparing the health issues of Bradley to the health "issues" of Hudson is silly My point was more about people complaining about any move Hendry makes i.e. signing one guy with health concerns is stupid, but we ought to sign another guy who has health concerns. Some of the same people who complain about Harden wanted to add Johnson or Sheets to the rotation. Again, you're comparing the health of Bradley to Hudson, which is ridiculous. Bradley has dozens of different injuries and is constantly hurting something different. He's fragile. Hudson is not. He hurt is wrist and it is now healed. If you want to talk about maybe that affecting his performance for awhile, okay, but don't compare a healthy player to a guy who is injured non stop. People question the Bradley signing because he's shown that he can't stay healthy. Hudson had a tough break and broke a bone. Big difference. I don't want Hudson though. Also I've never seen a single person here complain about trading for Harden.

    They wrote an article about how the Cubs would never break the curse, including some cheesy little "poem" trashing the Cubs.

    Yeah I didn't see the "at this point" of his post until after I posted it. I deleted my pst but you must have already been replying to it before I deleted it. My fault. And yeah, how can you not be excited? It's baseball.

    o http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/sp/v/mlb/players_l/20080402/6154.jpg?x=65&y=85&xc=1&yc=1&wc=164&hc=215&q=100&sig=LCwAE1TFB2scz.nmPVAI3w-- You think Soriano is worth 18 million a year? I don't think you'll find many people here who believe Soriano is worth $18 million a year, especially as he gets older. IMHO, nobody is worth $18 million. obviously, nobody should be. but if someone will pay it its "worth" it. that's the point. That's not what we're talking about in the context of this conversation though. We're talking about whether or not it's a good idea to pay them that much. Barry Zito is "worth" 18.5 million.

    You mean you don't know the sabremetrics of hockey? IGNORED. well you see martin brodeur is clearly a bad goalie because i say so and will not expound on this point, exposing myself to lots of criticism because i prefer to make vague, outlandish statements rather than thought out posts that back up my point. I know he has 3 stanley cups...but wins and loses are not the best way to measure how good a team or a player is. Marty Brodeur's random Anze number is .722. Cristobal Huet's is .832 the best goalie of all time is actually daren puppa. what an underappreciated gem! I remember his daughter being named "Isabella Megan Puppa". What a horrible combo of names

    I was at that game and I'll never forget it. The scene throughout the stadium hallways after the game was like nothing I've ever seen before at any sporting event... EVER. It was insane. Thousands of Cubs fans all screaming/singing/hugging/high fiving, etc.....and all complete strangers. I mean, we thought it was over they had won the pennant. There was no doubt whatsoever. We were going to the World Series.

    Last year has nothing to do with it, that's why I told you his cumulative two year OPS was .865. I was using '06 and '07 because he combined to play 2 half seasons, was a full time outfielder, and that wasn't his career year in a hitters park playing DH like last year was. Sorry, I should have read it better. My fault. But that actually proves the point more... which is that fangraph statistic is extremely flawed and is pretty much garbage IMO. A half season of a mid-to-high .800's OPS corner outfielder is worth 10 million? I don't see how you can jutisfy that. In what world is a sub .900 OPS corner outfielder worth 20 million for a full season?

    Don't forget Hudson would also cost us a first round pick. That alone makes it not worth it IMO. I'm not convinced Hudson is even that good. He's been garbage outside of BOB the last 3 seasons. I don't think he's much of an upgrade over Fontenot.
