    --I dropped the piano!-- doesn't have the same ring to it, though. Would that make him a pianist? Only to deaf genies. Or by TS Garp.

    Are we seeing Kosuke in his prime? He's 31 and had surgery on his elbow (shoulder?) last year, right? I'm guessing Kosuke was even better at age 26-29 than he is now. Jeeze GRCF, I keep forgetting he's that old, good point....plus the injury thing.

    I forgot how the Cubs got him from Philly? Trade near the end of Spring Training in 1984. The Cubs got Sarge along with Bob Dernier and Porfi Altamirano for Bill Campbell and Mike Diaz. Oh yeah, Dernier, how could I forget that? Dal really put one past his ex employer.

    I forgot how the Cubs got him from Philly? Geeze, the Phillies help the Cubs a lot...Ryno, Mathews, Bowa. Fergie (earlier I know) too but that's just me lovin number 31!

    Maybe the Expos owe him an astroknee then. You ain't kidding, that stuff was brutal.

    Dawson could run really well until his knees went. It's an interesting comparison when you put them in their peak years defensively. I didn't see enough of Dawsons games with the Expos but for some reason I just can't picture him diving for a ball like Fukudome does.

    Not really surprising. Steve Slaton is gone as is Rich Rodriguez. Brian Brohm went from a favorite for the Heisman this past season to nothing with Petrino leaving. And if WVU struggles as a team with Rodriguez gone, White's shot at a Heisman will disappear. And since Oklahoma is much more likely to be a 10-2 or better team than WVU is, Bradford's chances at a Heisman are probably better as well. Slaton was a non factor and Devine was better and their whole offensive line is back. WV kept the system they had while Louisville hired a coach from another team.

    The most I can find is 3. 1990 had Sandberg, Dawson, Dunston. 2004 had Sosa, Alou and Z. Thanks ccc. I wonder if Obama and Hillary are jealous that a baseball player is getting more votes than Senator McCann.

    I realize that LLF. I was just thinking how it would have been if the Cubs kept their core of young guys together back in the day.

    What if the Cubs kept Carter, Hall, Tabler and Raffy...would that have been better than one season of Sutcliffe and Williams?
  12. CuseCubFan69
    Does anyone know the most Cubs to start an All-Star game since 69?
  13. CuseCubFan69
    Yep...without the magic beans it's pretty hard to stay in shape.

    Go Vance go! I'll bet you he alone makes up the 100K difference.

    He wasn't calling it just a game, a poster later wrote that it was just a game. Edmonds said, "There are a lot of things more important than just the game." Likewise, my buddy the lawyer said, "There are a lot of things more important than just this case." Somebody else may say, "There are a lot of things more important than just this report." There's a difference between dismissively calling your job "just a game" and saying there are more important things in the world than just your job. That is especially true for somebody who obviously is going to be retiring or switching careers within the next couple months. So, is he going to know when the early bird special is and how much he'll have to cough up?

    Until you get payed for it then it's your job. Isn't that a good attitude to have about any job? Not taking your work home with you, seperating business and personal life, etc? Most people would praise any other professional who took that sort of attitude toward their life. Precisely. It's so unbelievably stupid how people bash players when they say things like this. I'm not going to say otherwise because I don't like said player. For me I have a problem with it being called just a game, not bashing how he felt outside of it. I think it depends on how you look at your craft or job. It's great you can separate the two but imo being dismissive over your job while you are preforming way below expectations is different than someone who exceeding expectations and feeling the same way.

    Why are the Canadians forced to be in the MLB draft?
  18. CuseCubFan69
    ?? That's his 2nd win. Against the Dodgers, yeah...that's what he meant!

Most people would praise any other professional who took that sort of attitude toward their life. I was talking about it just being a game. It's not that he's out there playing checkers with the neighborhood kids, he's getting paid a large sum of money to be good at his job. It's fine that he doesn't bring it home with him and that is probably a good thing for his mental health.

    Sponge Worthy? Sorry, I'm married. Is he a USC fan? I'm sure you'd smell one out in one post.

    Even Edmonds himself probably knows that he is done. But he's not stupid enough to retire as long as someone else is stupid enough to give him a job. Exactly, if he retires he doesn't get what is left of his 8 million! I know 8M would keep me in the game. But what if he doesn't officially retire, just no team gives him a job this year. He still gets his full salary, right? I wonder if anyone would pick him up if Hendry cut him. He's kind of like Mahoney in Police Academy, he can't quit because he'd lose his money (or, like Mahoney, go to jail), but he's trying to get himself fired (kicked out) so he doesn't have to such anymore. That's my point. If the Cubs DFA him and no one picks him up, he still gets his money as long as he doesn't officially retire this year, right? As far as I know, yes. Who was the fool that gave him the 8M?

    Does he hit left handed?

    I prefer sprinkles over Jimmies.

    Sutcliffe will be singing the stretch. I get the feeling he won't quite fill Lasorda's shoes. Probably not but maybe since he and Berman will be there all day they might have a little liquid help to amuse us.
