  1. He got hurt every year and played on 21 games in 2001 due to a serious injury. I don't know what else you want me to say. He was a max effort middle infielder who was always dealing with health issues who was destined to decline quickly in his 30's. Oh and the answer to your question that you stopped asking, I assume because you realize it only proved the point further, is 129. 129 games per year in his pre-Cubs seasons not counting his first year. That's a guy who missed a lot of time. 129/yr is bad except when you realize that that number is severly suppressed by the one season where he played only 21 games. The two years after that (the two years before the trade) he played in 156 games each season, and in the 4 years before it was 143. While not great, its not the history you're making it out to be. So you have 1 season where a wrist injury sidelined him for a significant amount of time and...
  2. Wrong. Nomar's health was becoming an issue before he became a Cub. I didn't say he had no injury issues, I said to describe his pre-Cub days as Bradley-esque in injuries was very incorrect. He had red flags, but never missed huge amounts of time (save for one year). Bradley has pretty close to always missed significant time. He got hurt every year and missed nearly an entire season. Not sure why you'd complain about calling that similar to Bradley. It doesn't make a difference because Nomar was clearly damaged goods when the Cubs got him. After his 1st season where he played only 22 games, Nomar averaged.... you know what, no. You show evidence of a significant injury history, besides just saying it exists.
  3. Yeah, well....but what about the time before that?
  4. You'd gladly take a completely unproductive player at 4 million a year? More power to you. But he had two months where he didn't completely suck!!!!!
  5. Much like the 2008 Cubs, the Cards playoff epic fail was a team effort. Hollidays drop was just a memorable moment. Just like the Red Sox and Buckner. The Red Sox were moments away from securing a World Series victory. The Cardinals were close to tying the NLDS 1-1. Thats not the point. The point is that both teams had issues in a playoff series that can be attached to one memorable moment involving a single player.

  7. Its probably only a good move if they sig Halladay to a long term deal, since that was becoming a potential issue with Lee. That, and Halladay is the better pitcher and not that much older (only what, 1 to 2 years?).
  8. Hallady to Phils, C Lee to M's, stuff to BJ's, with Phils trying to work out extension w/ Doc according to MLBTR.
  9. I'd think that the Oline doesn't understand what protection is more than that.
  10. 20
  11. Apparently tackling the Packers is now illegal.
  12. The police wouldn't even pretend to try to stop you.
  13. Knox, he just didn't bother to make the cut.
  14. You=WilsonA2000 You are more annoying then the Packers fans. What can I say? :) Edit: Yeah that was a pretty WA2K post. But when it's seemingly happened half the times we've been in the red zone this year, you kinda brace for it. I should have said "getting" more annoying. A lot of your posts have been straight up negative, which I can understand, but when something good happens, you don't seem to say anything good, you just find a way to say something negative.

  16. These receivers need to show up more often.
  17. Who is this Tommie Harris guy?
  18. That would make sense, if Mannely wasn't on his back on the ground when the penalty was called.
  19. A couple nice throw, this one actually caught.
  20. Booth review.
  21. I thought the same thing. And didn't Harden say he preferred pitching at night when it's cooler? I thought I remembered reading that. Texas wouldn't really fit that. Money talks. Texas doesn't play home day games in the summer, so that argument is actually in his corner.
  22. There is a borderline chance Baker makes it because people are stupid.
