Hallelujah! Baseball is here again!

Seriously, are you joking? Grasping for straws? How am I grasping for straws? Almost everyone else disagrees with you. Are facts "grasping for straws"? That sounds ridiculous to me. Fighting unfairly? Are you joking? You blatantly lie repeatedly, I call it out, and that means I'm "fighting unfairly"? Where do you come up with this stuff? And the "I have kids and work for a living" stuff is nonsense as well. What does that have to do with anything? Does that make it okay to lie? Does that make it okay to repeatedly say things and then fail to back it up? You guarantee it? Okay, then what sort of compensation are you going to offer me if that doesn't come true? If you can't somehow compensate me, then you're making a prediction and not a guarantee. I seriously think you need to listen to that interview again, because Lou never said that. If he did, why don't you listen again and type word for word what he said, so we can judge it ourselves? Oh, because "you have kids and work for a living", so you don't have time. Right. I'd say there's about a 50/50 chance Soriano would be moved down if they ended up getting Roberts, and I think the odds are only that good because of Soriano's leg problems. If I had to bet, I'd still say that Roberts would bat second and Soriano leadoff. However, I'm reasonable enough to know that I can't make some sort of ridiculous guarantee as if I know for sure, because none of us know that. I also know that I won't lie about what Lou said just to make my point seem more valid. How did I speak for a moderator? All I did was remind you to what HE said. As for disagreeing with that I've said, then fine. The thing is, you never make counter arguments. You act like you can't hear anything and then jump to other statements instead of carrying on a discussion, all the while claiming it's because you "don't have time", which we all know is just an excuse, since you clearly have enough time to post repeatedly. These are a few of the reasons why most of this board doesn't take you seriously and either a)make fun of you, or b)ignore you. As for me, I think it's time for letter B. As others have said in the past week, congratulations for being the first person that has ever made me feel inclinced to use the ignore feature. I'm sure I won't be the last. Have a nice life. I have to admit your responses are a bit hostile. Back it up a notch and just have a healthy discussion. No reason to get upset about it. That's the whole point. It's impossible to have a healthy discussion with him because he doesn't listen to or acknowledge other people's statements. Why waste your time then?

so that whole DeRosa having surgery thing kinda effects my views on Roberts, maybe. I think that's relevant to this thread.

Please stop lying. I've listened to the Piniella interview and he never said that. All hew said is that if they made a trade, he'd CONSIDER moving Soriano down. Also, the part about Gallagher was a lie, since he's obviously pitched past AA, and pitched well. Oh, and Roberts also doesnt get on base 40 points higher than Soriano. Roberts OBP: .377 Soriano: .337 I'm aware of where their numbers were last season. He didn't say "Roberts got on base 40 points higher than Soriano last season", he said "Roberts gets on base 40 points higher than Soriano". Look at the career numbers. OK, come on now . . . I'm enjoying this all as much as anyone - but he's got you here. You called him out, and now it's been proven that he was actually right. Just give him a "touche" and move on . . . Do you really think I wasn't aware of the OBP stats of those 2 guys last season? Please. With how much this has been debated this offseason, the stats of Roberts/Soriano/Derosa are etched into my mind for eternity. What he said was not an accurate statement. He doesn't "get on base 40 points higher than Soriano". He did last season. What about the season before? Kahlil Greene outhomered Aramis last season. So would it be an accurate statement to say that "Greene hits for more power than Ramirez"? I certainly don't think so. I really don't know what you know . . . but I think I'll go with O_O's line that "either interpretation is reasonable." W23'S claim of fact was backed up with, um . . . FACTS! Please don't feed it. It might grow.

My sarcasm meter is broke, and I can't tell if this is real. Then you haven't read many of my posts.

Yes blogs do not lose money and some even make money. below the belt

douchebaggery at its finest. the author of nsbblol is the lowest kind of internet coward someone is just begging for a piece to be written about him, it's almost as if they feel left out. Its funny and sad that this humble little community has such an adamant critic.

no more devil...just the Rays now...like Sun Rays

Please stop hating on Sammy. He done more for this team than NE one evar!! He's the best OF ever in Cubs histroy, and people take it for granted too much.

Why? Was Lou joking?

is that Chelsea Clinton in your avatar?

circle K + violence = drug deal gone bad

I'm not so sure about that...

I think we need to find this "Sources" guy and take him out.

I think Bruce's silence on this indicates we'll soon hear a BIG announcement.

Since when do you have sources blogs are sources.... then my arse is a source as well . . . exactly

Since when do you have sources blogs are sources....

no... no they didn't

The player from Purdue you're thinking of is Chadd Blasko. Whatever happened to him? Back when I was a ...uh... more active Cubs fan I did an interview with him for the old Cubstalk.com. I remember the broken foot...then what? edit....ouch...http://minors.baseball-reference.com/players.cgi?pid=17299
