    interesting. Is he stretching out to start? I know they've pinned him for the bullpen, but throwing that many pitches this early says rotation to me.

    I'd deal Z only if it makes the Cubs better and IMO ARod at SS or Miggy Cabrera at RF would do that. AROD (if he can play SS) or Cabrera yes, Miggy not so sure. Miggy is Cabrera Actually, I was just looking at his stats from last year and he had a solid year. Let me strike that. But I'd rather have Cabrera for his age and he still hasn't peaked yet. No, Miggy is Cabrera -- Miguel Cabrera. I'm not saying Tejada and Cabrera are similar, Cuse was referring to Cabrera. FATHER: No, no, just keep him in here-- GUARD #1: Until you, or anyone else,-- FATHER: No, not anyone else, just me-- GUARD #1: Just you. GUARD #2: Hic! FATHER: Get back. GUARD #1: Get back. FATHER: Right? GUARD #1: Right, we'll stay here until you get back. FATHER: And, uh, make sure he doesn't leave. GUARD #1: What? FATHER: Make sure 'e doesn't leave. GUARD #1: The Prince?

    It means exactly what the previous posters speculated. Perhaps he's holding back on his fastball or afraid to throw breaking pitches.I just wonder who his "guy" is that says this. I mean, he must be really lucky to have a guy around Prior like that because i'd assume there isn't too many people attending bullpen sessions. Tom House?

    If the pitcher throws at your head and misses for ball four. --edit: someone said this five days ago...I'm slow

    48/192, .250/.300/.432/.732, 1 HBP, 17 BB, 41 K, 6 HR, 3 3B, 11 2B, 1/5 SB, 5 E Thank you. That's certainly less impressive than his playoff numbers. However, there are certainly a lot of positive things he can take out of this winter. I'd certainly think you weight the playoff numbers heavier. It looks like he working on specific things during the reg season, and concentrating on winning during the playoffs.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    we can always call hin A-Sor Please don't. I'm eagerly awaiting the day when that nickname fad ends. agreed. But if he doesn't live up to expectations, remember where you heard it first.

    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.

    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
