but not playoffs i dont think any two players could take on a whole team and win that's a very high standard you're asking them to meet.

okay guys stop screwing around time to take brown and augustine

Take Ryan Hollins instead! Then you can have a player who dunked on me twice in HS. aren't you like 4 feet tall? i'm pretty sure it doesnt count as getting dunked on if he can't even see you down there.

i dont see why rudy gay was so stressed out. worst case scenario, he goes undrafted and has to sell that watch to provide for himself and his family for the rest of their lives.

[george costanza] Can't you desour? Why can't you desour?[/george costanza] Show me 2003 the rest of this season and all of next season (plus no DL), and I will desour. I don't see it happening, but if it somehow did, I would. be the best pitcher in the majors for a year and a half and you'll be okay with him? i'm pretty sure that's too high a standard.

i'll bet she loves being referred to that way -
i went to two of the cubs-tigers games at wrigley, and there were lots of tiger fans there who were big jerks, so i pretty much hate that team.

treebird replied to RegulusBlue's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
remember in january when everyone was like "murton will definitely have an 850 ops this year, he's the next paul oneill I GUARANTEE IT" : ( -
That can be the White Sox's means of charity! Ozzie Guillen: "With the White Sox Swear Jar, hopefully we can make a little difference." Kenny Williams: "....a little...f*cking difference." Ah, Mr. Show, always there when you need a good reference HOORAY FOR MR SHOW

Gammons on Samardzija

I still don't understand why we couldn't have made a legit first round pick though. -
Gammons on Samardzija
treebird replied to NorthsideAvenger's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
That's just silly. His pitches would be more polished at this point if he had concentrated on baseball, and that's what makes his potential intriguing. You can argue he's not worth the risk, but nonsensical hyperbole doesn't make your case. so say he has lots of upside like you would for anybody else. maybe if andrew miller trained an extra hour everyday he'd be even better, i guess detroit really got a steal. when you add in the fact that he's NOT planning on focusing solely on baseball anytime soon, it just seems like a silly argument. -

I personally believe that is Sammy had devoted himself to baseball strictly, HE would be the best pitcher in the 06 draft, and NOT Miller. But because of his "split commitments" we don't know where Sammy is in terms of development. Sammy is said to be able to hit low to mid 90s, touching high 90s alot of times. His off speed pitches are definately a work in progress, and depends on who you ask...some people likes Sammy slider, (I've heard it's been compare to Clement's, not sure how accurate that is, but if it's true... :shock: ) and some thinks is a sloppy curve. Nonetheless....Sammy is definately a FIRST RD PICK, that dropped due to his "football commitments." If the Cubs get him to drop football for good, then the Cubs, will without a doubt get the TRUE STEAL of the 2006 draft. He used to throw the loopy curve before this season and scrapped it for the slider. It's supposed to be a better pitch but he still has a lot of work on it. if we have to pay him this much money, i don't see how it could be considered a steal. also, in response to those who say he'd be a better prospect if he concentrated only on baseball, i'd like to add that he'd also be a better prospect if he could throw a 110 mph screwball. neither appear to be the case though. -
he gave up 5 runs in six innings today, which should basically count for a quality start compared to most of his outings.

i'm not ashamed to admit that i'd be happy if it was true

how many wins will win the nl central now?
treebird replied to soccer10k's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
cubs wins + 30 and that's not a statement on the strength of st louis -
OML the Cubs looked significantly less than horrible for nearly a whole series. Hope you enjoyed it, because that was probably the non-April high point of the season. Let's all hold hands and enjoy the view from the top. Hooray Cobs.
