  1. the problem is that hendry is going to get nothing at all for him with the way he's handled it.
  2. What stuff has been said about him being a jerk? I'm not doubting it, I'm just curious because I haven't heard anything.
  3. I agree with him to the extent that I don't trust prospects the Braves trade away. More times than not (and I believe a pretty wide margin) they don't amount to anything. Horacio Ramirez, Andy Marte, Damian Moss, Ruben Quevedo, Joey Nation are all examples purely off the top of my head. They've been excellent at identifying young talent and getting rid of the young non-talent at premium prices. Andy Pratt. Excellent point. And I liked Pratt when he came over here. :oops: Jeff Francoeur
  4. I don't think he's talking about guys who were prospects over a decade ago. The only guy there that is really relevant to this conversation is McCann.
  5. i can't bleieve how confident i am in this team scoring goals every time i turn on a game. if they go more than like 10 minutes of gamre time without socring a goal it feels like it's a surprise. i haven't felt like this about a team since the 2003-2004 lightning
  6. EDIT: Would more call it outplaying the other team severely more than "finding a way to win"... no offense intended at all. true that. this team isn't finding ways to win, they're just flat out mashing. not many cheap wins for these guys
  7. Um how many 6 minute power plays have you seen? especially when both people have their gloves off (no offsetting penalties)? i'm not even talking about that. every single game there are multiple posts from you complaining about the refs. it's non-stop. i like you but you don't want to sound like a whiner
  8. you need to relax dude. enough with the refs
  9. so he proved that he has a cousin How does that even prove he has a cousin? And how is getting a name and address and providing a distance from another location trouble? i have no idea. i just thought it was really funny how that stuff mixmastamiguel posted was supposed to make the guy's story more credible. forget the fact that giving addresses provides nothing.
  10. a few weeks ago didn't Lowe make a big deal about how he was all about winning and the team he would choose would be the team that gave him the best chance at winning titles? i know all athletes say that, but i remember him being very adamant about it.
  11. agreed, that .273 slugging % would look great in a cubs uniform Miles career slugging- .364 Burke career slugging- .363 Plus Burke is about 4 years younger, better defensively than Miles, and much cheaper.
  12. He's going to be on who in the what-what? The new show on Comcast SportsNet from 6:00 AM-9:00 AM with Mike North and Dan Jiggetts. I caught some of it this morning and I was impressed and I'm not even a big fan of Mike North. Is there any way to listen to or watch this online?
  13. This post really made it sound like you were implying he's full of it. you really don't see it?
  14. hours upon hours? definitely not. i'd be surprised if he works out daily at this point. you must be surprised by a lot of things
  15. How is he acting all high and mighty? He was defnding himself because you basically called him a liar and lumped him in with some joker on cubs.com. DonnieD never said the trade was done. If you read too much into it, then that's your fault.
  16. The Good Bruce did say yesterday that the Peavy trade was still alive according to his sources with the Cubs. Where did he say that?
  17. haha he was clearly joking. look at the post he was replying to.
  18. wow. you need to stop constantly trying to start stuff with me. leave me alone dude, it's kind of creepy. nothing i said was hostile at all and you turn in into that, just because i don't believe a guy on xm reported something that really sounds bogus. i never said you didn't hear it or that you were lying. i said i didn't believe the guy that said it. you're so defensive that it's ridiculous.
  19. Was that really necessary? You get mad for no reason. But really, you think Peavy was signing autographs "Go Cubs"? Okay.
  20. Has this been confirmed or is it just rumor? Confirmed. http://blogs.suntimes.com/fullcourtpress/2008/12/jake_peavy_wants_to_be_a_cub.html Did you read the original post? That guy said that Peavy was signing autographs "go cubs go", not singing "go cubs go." Huge difference. The rumor is that he was singing the song, no signing autgraphs, and I give it about a 50/50 shot at being true... if that. That article doesn't really confirm anything. To make this silly argument more silly, that guy said signing autographs "Go Cubs" not "Go Cubs Go". "According to a report from Yahoo Sports, "the Cubs remain optimistic they can acquire Peavy." He wants to pitch for the Cubs but "that deal became too complicated, involving three or four teams and numerous players." XM Radio also reported on Thursday that Jake Peavy was signing autographs with 'Go Cubs' included while he was in Las Vegas earlier in the week." Seriously, that small detail needed to be debated? I thought you were just confusing the story. I didn't know anybody had reported that he was signing autographs like that. I'm pretty sure the person that reported that on XM misunderstood what he was told though
  21. The ratings probably won't be good, but I couldn't care less about that. As a fan I think these 2 matchups are really intriguing. The Eagles AT Arizona for a chance at the super bowl? The Ravenas and Steelers getting it on in the snow for a chance at the super bowl? I love those matchups. There are a lot of good storylines too.
