pretty old news.

I think thats why they waited for him to mention it first and are being so careful not to do anything without clearing it with him. They promised corner OF, and if he plays center this year it will be his idea.

cubs.com Soriano mentions it in an interview. Then a fan asks the question. Apparently Piniella and Hendry were the last to discover this was a good idea. other thoughts: prelude to Floyd signing? prelude to a Jones trade?

Apparently into the rotation by 2008 according to Levine. You have to start him in at least high A this year with a move to AA by the end of the year is the plan is for him start 2008 in the rotation.

Cubs Announcement: Samardzija Forgoes the NFL for the Cubs
Bull replied to Chris's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Excellent. Where did you see/hear that? Bruce Levine called into Dan Patrick's show to report it. I believe he said Samardzija could get up to 7 million. Trying to steal Hendry's thunder is he? I wondered what that horrible sound was coming out of Southbend. South Bend __________ Newyorkers :roll: Why was it ok to misspell football in what you quoted but not South Bend? Because I'm from South Bend (actually Mishawaka, but they're the same town) -
Cubs Announcement: Samardzija Forgoes the NFL for the Cubs
Bull replied to Chris's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It's been reported in recent days that you might see Samard zija, Samard zija, Samardzija, sign a baseball only contract before the Senior Bowl practices begin. Am I the only one who caught this? If this was a brady bunch reference...very funny. I will hereforth refer to him as Mardzija, Mardzija, Mardzija. Or Marsha. -

Over 6% isn't very modest. Given poor performance it's high. Given average performance a typical cost of living raise is less than 3%. But I still have to agree with poster who said if my employer damaged my ability to perform to the extent his has, they'd have a lot more to worry about than my raise.

I know it was 87, but isn't that the same year Cindy had a thing for guys with moustaches? Ha! I never thought of it that way. . . . I wouldn't be surprised. Ryno is a stand up guy. He'd do anything to save his marriage. I wonder if he spoke with a hispanic accent that season? I was thinking cause rather than effect, but that's a good theory too. There has to be a connection. Sorry, saw conspiracy theory last night.

Is your avatar a pic of Ryno trying to look like Palmeiro? The moustache was in 87. hmm...

I consider them broadcast journalists, but it is a tough choice. After a week, whoever gets more than 5 votes will be inducted into the NSBB polls forum "Bad At Your Job" HOF. I think all of us who post at work should be inducted as well.

Well, Cruz has made a couple million dollars playing major league baseball for 6 seasons, and he's only 28. I wouldn't say he's just like the hundreds of other prospects who didn't pan out, he's one of the few that actually did something good in the majors. He didn't reach his peak, but an extremely low number ever do. Or 25. Or 30. Perhaps 35. No more than 40. Honest.

Time to Make Amends and Right the Wrong...Mercker/Reds
Bull replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in General Baseball Talk
Surviving 5 shots is more impressive than surviving a brain aneurysm, if we're going to go that route. :stick: Not necessarily. I don't know the nature of Tupac's wounds, but a brain aneurysm is in the second most vital area of survival. Bullets in your leg, shoulder and places like that are easier to survive. The shooting that he survived, he was shot five times. Twice in the head, twice in the groin, and the most serious wound was a shot through the hand that entered the thigh, and hit an artery. I honestly have no idea where that stands w/ a brain aneurysm though. I'd have to imagine being shot twice in the head is right up there on the list of things that would suck pretty badly. Right below intrascrotal hematoma -
I would.

I was on a fishing trip in Minnesota. I had been running my mouth that there was no point in watching the game that night, lets go out and fish for Pike, 'cause Estes was going to lose. I quoted stats about how bad he'd been. Everyone was tired and wanted to play cards with the TV on in the background. At the time I was writing for cubstalk.com. The guys ridiculed me endlessly about my misjudging an obviously talented pitcher.

Newhan to Mets
Bull replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
It really depends on what your definition of "is" is. -
I am in complete concurrence with you. While neither would be fun, I'd much rather have a bruised jaw than an intrascrotal hematoma. Just my two cents. I knew someone would come through with the name of the injury he suffered. While I absolutely love the punch to AJ's jaw, just putting the words scrotal and hematoma next to each other makes my nether region ache. I'll take a punch in the jaw from anyone before I'd take a batted baseball to the... :shock: We have Mike Tyson waiting for you outside :wink: Pansy. Barrett could kick his butt. Shewt! AJ could kick his butt.

This wasn't intended to be a thread trashing Muskat (we have plenty of those). It is supposed to be a place to discuss the nastiness of being socked in the jaw by MB vs. being knocked in the rocks in your jock by a foul tip.
-
Yeah its like the boy who cried "Bruce" or something.
-
While the punch was quite nasty (those with pics in your sig should post them), I must say that the foul tip had to have been nastier. Nothing against Carrie, but this is one topic she surely has no speaking rights on.
