NSBB Mock NFL Draft NOW DRAFTING: RAIDERS AND CARNIBY
mhuber92211 replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Other Sports
I jsut saw this thread. I never knew there was another Seahawk fan around here. Pick well Wolf! -
The sentiments in this thread are similar to those in rants about gas prices, oil exec salaries, and so forth. In reality all things cost money. The market dictates how much everything costs. Gas is $3 a gallon because people will pay $3 a gallon. Baseball Costs $300 to do it right and Disneyland costs $1000 for 3 days. "If you build it, they will come AND they will pay for it." We are a unique country more then any other. This country is the one in the world that lives and breathes supply side economics and the entertainment industry is a key indicator of how healthy an economy is. Entertainment spend is purely disposable income. The higher the disposable income the healthier the economy, generally. Basically, if an outing to a ballgame costs $300 or a trip to Disney costs $1000 and they are still as popular as ever, then the economy is chugging along. What would be worrisome is when a trip to a ballgame costs $50 and attendance is a ghost town. Then things would be scary. I would rather look at this as a good problem to have.

Can you pick a reliever not likely to be claimed through waivers by someone else as filler until TH and I'll execute it immediately? This is Done

I Can't correct mine because I can't add the required player.

-

-
well this sucks. I would have been # 2 on the list if I hadn't already put a claim in. Grrr....

2007 Spring Training NOW WITH PICTURES thread
mhuber92211 replied to moorecg's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Wow, the guys are looking pretty tan. -
Welcome to the Cub Fan Nation! Has anyone ever Mistaken you for Jeremy Piven?
-
That is some ugly pitching. How does Novoa walk the bases loaded?
-
It will be interesting to see this game from Angels perspective. For those in LA area, the game is on Fox sports
-
what happened to Bobby Hill? He would have fit this idea. Switch Hitter too

This is why Thursday wins out to Monday, although I am waiting for Black Donnellys before voting. Taking Studio 60 off of Mondays opened the door to Voting for Thursday because Earl/Scrubs is so darned funny and this is after I have never even seen the office. One GLARING omission Banedon from your excellent list - Veronica Mars on Tuesdays. This show is getting closer to 24 on my list. Mostly due to 24's lackluster season thus far though. Veronica Mars has the kick butt supporting characters that 24 used to have. Sheriff Lamb, Piz, & Mac are all great but the best father on a TV show ever has to be Keith Mars. Other then Andy Barker, anyone else pumped for FX's new show "Riches" with Eddie Izzard?

I'm there. I am SoCalCubs

I think that the Angels would think VERY hard on a Wood, Mathis, Saunders Deal. I would take that in half a second. And throw in Blanco.
-
This was the trade I was thinking about comparing the Z situation to. I don't think that we are overvaluing him here though. When you hear the talking heads speaking of the Z situation, they are describing it as Z being the best arbitration player this year. That is better then Howard (prior to his deal) and Cabrera. If that is the case, would you trade Z for either of those players? I would.
-
Good Riddance then. Seriously, why say this? It helps the Cubs more then anything. They can paint him the greedy guy he is being and trade him off for a stable of young players from the Angels. I am more for the Trade Z bandwgn then ever now. The 2 sides are as far apart as they can possibly be. Zambrano might be a budding talent but nowhere worth 15.5 million. It took Zito longer to get that kind of cash and he earned it. Hwere is Z's cy young or era title or anything worth noting? Sure he is in the discussion but Z has never dominated a statistical category. Why pay him like he has? Z's value is never going to be higher. Trade his whiny, sorry butt away and get Wood & Adenhart and I guarantee that Cub fans will forget Z in 2 years.

So here I was trolling about town in my wife's car (the one without XM) and they were talking Angels baseball with Mike Scocissa (sp?). Good long interview and they were talking about their lack of offense and their projected lineup. Then they spent a bunch of time talking about Juan Rivera and his injury impact on the team. Scos talked a lot about thinking that they weren't done and to talk to him about the offense on 3/26 (when they happen to play the Cubs). All this talk about offense and the need for the Angels to have some young guys step up (Kotchman & Morales) got me thinking about a Jones deal to Anaheim in mid to late spring depending on Pie's spring. I think that the Angels are a good trading partner for the Cubs and have some young players that the team would be interested in. If jones is dealt I doubt it would be for Major league talent unless its for a true CF. A Jones for Aybar & change deal wouldn't be all bad.

Thanks. Not as bad as I thought
-
All of this is so very true. As much as Len is a good play by play guy, Matt V. is still the best.
