2009 Cubs thread
Nothing will stop Hendry from acquiring another second baseman, except an Old Country Buffet coupon. How bad does that Marquis trade look?

Same thing as an astronaut or a firefighter. We raced Russia to the moon and ESPN the ocho sometimes shows fireman games. Are those sports too?

I suppose every golf course should be the same as well? Pit bulls suck. They are hideous looking dogs I'd like to see suspensions of licenses for drivers under 21 that have accidents due to playing around on phones or Ipods. I don't think saving them for SEVERE accidents because they'll just get toss aside in a plea bargain. Imagine if that asshole that killed Nick Adenhart was playing on a phone (while being drunk.) Would a law banning phone use in a car really punish the criminal any further?

He says it like someone from NJ who lives in Minnesota. In order of hate: 1. Twins 2. Royals 3. Indians 4. Cubs 5. Red Sox 6. Pirates (hoep they never have another winning season again.)

2009 MLB Catch-All Thread
The Yankees claim they never had a restriction on moving around during the 7th inning stretch. From the Old Stadium

2009 AL Central Thread
A B free agent is nothing for the team signing him. It just gives a supplemental pick to the team that offered him arbitration.

2009 MLB Catch-All Thread
Giving that 3 year, $36 million to Jose Guillen was ridiculous. As was them throwing so much money at relievers the past few years like Farnsworth, Bale, Tomko, Horacio Ramirez, and Juan Cruz (costing them a draft pick.) It's too bad there wasn't more substance to that Grienke for Franceour trade earlier in the offseason.

Bigger impact from 1969
Wait, I thought Democrats want the Government to provide health care for everyone.

What Movie Have You Seen The Most?
As a young kid: Follow that Bird The Care Bears Movie That Muppet Movie that has the stolen diamond and a cameo from Oscar the Grouch The Transformers Movie. (Still a hundreds times better than the current s***) Pre-Teen and Teenage years: A Christmas Story (TNT marathons) Mrs. Doubtfire (drove my dad nuts when we watched it over and over in the van on family vacations) Current years: 40 Year Old Virgin American Psycho Batman Begins Casino The Matrix

Bigger impact from 1969
When I read the options I knew better to equate the single moon landing with the NASA organization as a whole.

Bigger impact from 1969
..and millions of Americans who save an average of $2000 a year by shopping at Wal-Mart would agree with you too.

Better ban navigation systems, Ipod, putting on makeup, eating, and smoking cigarettes while driving too. Although they are not as popular as a playing on a cellphone, they can be just as distracting. Back to hate crimes, I think they are stupid too. Here for years african americans and gays have fought for equal rights yet there are these laws that treat them as a different specimen if they are attacked. If I kill my wife and her lover while she is cheating on me, should I be convicted of "hating the player, not the game?" Same thing with affirmative action. Women's suffrage and the civil rights battles for equality, yet here they are getting special treatment because of their sex and/or race.

7/19 Sox vs O's 1:05pm CSN
Clearly the former NL closer is showing us why we are more than ready to dump Jenks.

7/18 games
Swisher would still be an upgrade over BA/Wise.

Your Values
I never got around to installing my Vararam kit that would boost it up 40HP, so it's still around 350 HP. I should said this Tug McGraw quote (on his WS bonus) as my first post:

Your Values
Own a condo with super cheap mortgage. No car payments on the Corvette or Cadillac. 6% of the check goes into 401k. The rest sits in a savings account with occasional extra payments on the condo loan.

2009 AL Central Thread
He's also been booed off the stage in nearly 50% of his Guitar Hero games.

Do senior citizens benefiting from SS or possibly another pension and High School kids depending on parents really have to take more money out of the business? The just raises the prices on everything and the middle class gets stiffed. Here's another one nobody has mentioned yet. I wish we would get rid of the tipping system. No $2.13 hourly pay and waitresses being rude because the last person stiffed them (they don't HAVE to tip, but it's pointless if someone tips for just tipping.) If people want an incentive to do their job properly, perhaps they should look at the unemployment numbers. Also, how much money is the government losing out on by people falsifying how much they made in tips? It's too hard to track.

2 more possible Trade Options
Man, too bad Giles didn't waive his NTC to go to Boston. They would've had two problems on their hands.

Royals DFA Tony Pena, Jr.!!!
a 66 OPS+ shouldn't be a decent year for anybody, but that was his career year. .267 BA, .284 BA. Man does he f***ing suck.

Here's a couple no one has mentioned yet: Spending Government money protecting endangered species (Just all part of the circle of life.) Handicap parking spaces which lead to huge ones being made, or excessive spots created which aren't used all the time. Some of the criteria to qualify for a handicap spot is quite suspcioius too. We're not just talking wheelchair bound folks, but people who are blind (they aren't the ones driving) or people who have a hard time remembering phone numbers. I work in a factory and cannot believe how many handicap spots there are, and most of them are occupied by guys who work on the floor!

Royals DFA Tony Pena, Jr.!!!
yet KC added a garbage player and took on a lot of salary (especially for them) with Betancourt. Oh those Royals will never figure it out.

Roger Clemens and PEDs
But, but, but, he filed a lawsuit, that was mostly thrown out by the courts, against the trainer. He must be innocent!
