2/11 is downright funny. I wonder if it is a typo, or they are trying to wreak havoc on the market.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 10:27 PM) I'm not doubting that the Marlins have a lot of interest in these players I just don't think they've made this wishes public. I don't think they have made these wishes public. That's why we have JD on the inside to give us the scoop.

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 10:12 PM) I can tell you that I am very close to someone involved in baseball, and this is what has been told to me. Take it or leave it... just letting you know what I have been told. And I appreciate it very much. I remember last year when you let us in on the details about Lee for Pods before it happened.

If Florida moves Pierre and doesn't sign Encarnacion, they will need outfield help badly. It would leave them with 3 outfielders: Cabrera, Hermida, and Aguila. And although Hermida projects to be quite a player, him and Aguila have about 160 major league AB's between them. I could defintitely see them having strong interest in Rowand under those circumstances.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 07:11 PM) True. Ray Lewis survived it though. Everyone knows defensive players have immunity to the cover curse. Come on..

Good God.

The Madden cover curse is alive and well. It's getting spooky.

I like the Black Eyed Peas.

His shoulders are oddly shaped and it's scaring the children.

A full Cactus League spring training schedule is in the Spring Training thread if anyone is interested.

Haha that's an OOP page.

What is the acceptable amount to tip food delivery drivers? (Less than $10 order).

QUOTE(YASNY @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 08:24 AM) I also used that very justification as well. The point is that it COULD be derived from racist remarks and it wouldn't shock me if that was the case. Of course, they could have been talking about shovels. You are exactly right. http://www.wordorigins.org/wordorc.htm

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 12:00 AM) first of all... Spade n. Offensive Slang. Used as a disparaging term for a Black person. Irony is a funny thing. Next time before you use a cliched phrase, look it up. I'd just like to say that the phrase he used is not racist in origin. Can't really get on his case for that.

Is there any truth to the rumor that the Matt from USC that Kristen was dating was Matt Leinart?

I would've been slapped to next century.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 06:04 PM) Anyway, anyone been to Zero Gravity that want's to kinda review it? I've been there exactly one time, I think my brain blocked out most of the memory as a survival mechanism. Anyway, I was having such a bad time there that I left and WALKED home. I had to cut through some forest preserve and thought wolves were going to attack me.

The Laguna Beach cast was at Zero Gravity (weirdo teenage dance club in Naperville) last week.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 04:14 PM) The most important stat when looking at whether Tads is hurt by hitting second is to look at his average with two strikes. Because he sees a lot of fastballs, and has to take them to give Pods a chance to run, that is a much more vital stat. Look at how bad hits 0-2, 1-2, and 2-2 to get a more accurate view of the reality of hitting behind a base stealer, because odds are he will be taking strikes in order to give Pods a chance to steal. 0-2 = .149/.163/.277 1-2 = .105/.104/.118 (Lower OBP than average ) 2-2 = .189/.197/.230

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 11:18 PM) Where did you pick up Add Class forms for your school? Was there a general form you given, or did you have to ask the specific department (of the class you registered) for permission? I'm guessing these policies are same across campuses. I just go to my specific school's admin/counseling office. They hand you a form where you can add/drop a class with just the signature of a professor. The add/drop form is the same no matter what you are studying, but you just return it to your specific admin office so they can put you in the class and update you files and such.

QUOTE(easyw @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 11:49 PM) Does the Grandstand have any stuff on sale? That's funny.

Pods got votes and Buehrle didn't? Hmm.
