I'm shocked WV is ranked as high as they are due to the coaches always voting the BE team with the same record as any other BCS conference lower as they did with the rest of the teams.

Their bye week?

Do I get 100 shares of Google each time I click the link?

The way Jim backloaded that contract makes me want to throw up. I agree, we should definitely not target any sane GMs :D Also, excellent alliteration! He back loaded it like a GM that might be fired soon.

You're having a football season like me, welcome to my Hell.

Thanks!

How do you pronounce his name? I hope it isn't what I think it might be.

Perhaps. In a deal to net a significant upgrade at SS? Yes absolutely. For example: Pie, Gallagher, Veal, Prior, & Cedeno for Tejada & Bedard Payroll w/ Drew, Tejada, & Bedard (assuming ~$8 mil. in arbitration for Bedard), signing Wood to a $5 mil incentive-based deal, less Jones & Marquis, is roughly $118 mil. in '08. (Without assuming the Red Sox or Orioles give you any payroll relief in return.) The problem might be 2009, when (I believe) Bedard hits FA ($119 mil. committed w/o signing him). Soriano Lee Tejada Ramirez Drew De Rosa Murton Soto Zambrano, Bedard, Lilly, Hill, Marshall/Marmol/Hart/et. al. Dempster, Howry, Marmol, Wood, Wuertz, Eyre Ward, Theriot, Blanco, Patterson, Fontenot/Fox/Craig/Hoffpauir Is Patterson your backup CF? That would be one nice lineup but I'd slide Tejada down under Ramirez. If you have Z pitching it would make a heck of a 9 hitter wise.

That doesn't help that much for salary relief, does it? No it doesn't. It's payroll neutral in 2008 and +$5 mil. in 2009. But I was looking for a creative way to unload Marquis and Jones while upgrading the offense a bit. Marquis competes with Lester, Tavarez, Bucholz and Wakefield for their 4th/5th starter spots. Wakefield may not have much left in the tank. Bucholz had shoulder issues. Marquis is better than Lester or Tavarez. Looking closer though, I doubt the Red Sox would be interested in Ohman - they have two solid lefties in the pen. Drew would be a risk, but he's a high OBP bat with some pop. I think he could he play some CF (at least at Wrigley). I'd play him full-time between CF/RF with Pie/Murton. Maybe throw in a prospect or two instead of Ohman and ask for some cash in the deal. Would you move Pie if this trade happened?

I don't think you can look at penalties in a blanket statement like that. If a team is winning 31-0 and then gets called for 4 or 5 it doesn't matter. It's at key points of the game or when a team gets an advantage to when it matters.

The Kobe thread (Formerly Kobe to be traded by Oct 30)
CuseCubFan69 replied to Banedon's topic in Other Sports
That would be a nice change. He usually rides Gordon like a mule and gives Hinrich a pass. Some players need to be teated differently depending on what drives them. -
It's pretty interesting so far Tim. It doesn't look like it'll take much to to get used to it. Did we lose all the extra smilies we had?
-
Wasn't he your 3rd base coach at one time too?
-
Aside from complete homerism, what is the justification for having Florida #7? And ahead of Georgia and Auburn, for that matter. Another loss by the Gators and Meph will have them at #1.

It's all here Mr. Hogg. http://www.northsidebaseball.com/PremiumForum/viewtopic.php?t=45178

Big 10 teams should avoid D2 teams. Why? What other Big 10 team has lost to a D2 team? 2 football teams, Michigan and Minny.
-
I thought Reyes swung at everything?
-
some other tidbits: Also Floyd, Trachsel, and Monroe are not expected back. I remember Bruce talking about how hard Lou and his staff work and after reading they have a plan for Pie to follow just proves it once again. I just envision Baker in a boat the day after the season and forgetting who Pie was. Nice job Lou and Gerald and thank you.

How much more harshly, 3 times and they're suspended for almost one half of a game?

Dude plays everyday and never strikes out.

Is it me or does there seem to be a lot of options out there to improve the Cubs?

He's 24, 3 years out of school. I would guess they will try and trade him unless he really goes nuts and then they decide to trade Quinn. Thanks. Quinn would have to be really showing something in practice if they decide to trade Anderson.

Or to the Dodgers to reunite with Torre.
