QUOTE(JFields27 @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 03:03 PM) I would say 3 years, he would be 22, would be an extreme safe bet at the least. Especially with Rolen they will not push him to go any harder then he is, they are teaching him to switch hit right now and he very strong right handed(which is what he was first) and he is still working on his left, though they say he is looking very strong and he will learn it. He did play a lot of SS in High School so maybe he gets some time there while Rolen is still on the team because of the arm and fielding Then Rolen would be a nice "stopgap"(for lack of a better word, Rolen is more than just a stopgap), provided he could stay healthy. And that is a BIG if.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 03:01 PM) Fixed. true, however I have to encompass southern illinois sports in that assessment as well. And nothing has been more dissapointing to me this year than SIU Mens Basketball

QUOTE(JFields27 @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 02:36 PM) oh wait I forgot about Kevin Ahrens, duh .. How far away from the majors do they project Ahrens? 1 year? 2 years?

so whats the deal with Rivers? I am at work right now, so i cannot tell what happened to him or LT. Possibly season ending injuries? A little banged up?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 02:28 PM) What is the upside of this for Toronto? Rolen stays healthy, is productive. Do the Jays have any 3B prospects in the next 3 years that Rolen would be blocking?

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 02:19 PM) Bulls only gave up 69 points today...in the first half. 2007-2008 has made me loathe basketball.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 01:13 PM) To get a guy like Glaus is a STEAL by the Cardinals times ten. Rolen was never going to stay there with the bridge burned with LaRussa, and if Glaus is healthy, he could put up some really nice numbers in the NL with Pujols protecting him. Nice job by St. Louis to get something out of a really bad situation IMO. I dont know if it is a steal. Looks like to me that the Cardinals traded an unhappy, often injured 3rd baseman for a somewhat happy, often injured 3rd baseman. Its not like Rolen didnt put up huge numbers with Pujols protecting him. Plus, Glaus has that whole "had steroids shipped to my house" thing as well.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 12:58 PM) Not surprised. I think I'm closer to getting a date with Mandy Moore than the Cubs trading for Roberts. Dont give up your hopes Brian. Mandy is still single

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 12:52 PM) So the Cubs are still close to getting Brian Roberts? For the past 3 weeks? Bruce "bombshell" Levine said that the deal is dead because the Orioles want one of Colvin or Pie in the deal as well as Murton, Marshall and Gallagher

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 11:52 AM) That speaks very highly of his management and oversite skills. Nice cop-out answer. You know, while Mr. Paul may have some ideas that sound good, he has some that just sound nutty. And while there are many people on here that are passionate about their candidate , you two on here just sound like total kooks. There is zeal, and there is zealotry. You two fit the latter. Alpha Dog pulls the pin.....

Jose Paniagua, Tony Phillips, Jim Parque(after the surgery), David Wells, Bret prinz

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 11:15 AM) I think Pie's starting to head into "can't miss who did" territory. He just isn't hitting enough to be a starting MLB outfielder. If the Cubs were smart, they'd try to package him for a reliable starter before his value drops. I agree, merely looking at the fact that Pie couldnt take the CF job from Jacque Jones last year(or at least create some playing time for himself) speaks volumes.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 12, 2008 -> 05:09 PM) Levine says deal is dead because the O's were actually asking for impact players in return. Of course since the Cubs couldnt grab him he says that "Roberts is not available." Which of course is not true, that package would be easy to match for several teams. Supposedly the players the Cubs refused to part with are Tyler Colvin and Felix Pie. If it were me, Rich Hill and Sean Marshall would be considered more valuable than Pie. I dont know much about Colvin, but Hill and Marshall are both pretty decent lefties with MLB experience

Super Mario Galaxy is ridiculously fun. That is all edit: that is not all. I found this nifty little wii site, www. wiisworld.com I had no idea all of the characters that were going to be on Super Smash Brothers. I heard about Link, and possibly Snake, but Captain Olimar and his Pikmin? Thats awesome. and I am totally psyched for Tales of Symphonia 2 for the Wii. I LOVE THAT RPG

QUOTE(shipps @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 09:27 AM) I enjoy alot of well written,scripted and acted shows but Iam more entertained by Rob and Big than any other show on TV. They are quite hilarious together. My wife loves that show and i started watching because of her

QUOTE(shipps @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 09:16 AM) I think alot of that was the way the ball jumped off his bat.When he did make a connection with the ball(though it wasnt very often)the ball looked diffrent coming off his bat.He looked dangerous,ala Ryan Sweeney. I wouldnt compare him to Sweeney as much as I would compare him to someone like Rob Deer. Someone who could absolutely annihilate the ball when he hit it, he just could never hit it. Ryan may not hit well, but he isnt going to be striking out nearly as much as Joe

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Jan 12, 2008 -> 10:33 AM) I'm not making fun of these people... but a guy with one of those voice talker things like the guy from south park or the episode of Scrubs where JD talks with the young smoker kid and he say "Do you want to play a game?" (from the Movie "War Games" with Matthew Broderick) came into my branch....and it creeps me out. sorry, it just does. An electronic voice is creepy regardless, I wouldnt feel too bad......unless you gave the guy the cold shoulder because of it.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Jan 12, 2008 -> 08:26 AM) maybe I'm crazy but: why couldn't they both get "fixed"... how long were they married? I mean, you've already consumated...you didn't know she was your sister, but because of the nature of whole adoption thing, you feel in love. I mean, it's one thing if you grew up together, but it's not like you KNEW she was your sister...he was your brother... What's England's stance on Gay Marriage? This falls under the same category, in my opinion. did they want to fight this? or were they horrified that they had made this mistake? lastly....what are the odds? I would think that after i found out that my wife was my sister, i would want to get as far away from the situation as possible. I dont know that I would be able to look past that, even if I was "fixed", thats just too much to bear. Some jerk is going to track these guys down though, and then everyone will know who it is.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Jan 12, 2008 -> 08:57 AM) I think Lohse is better suited for a NL team.. i think he'll get shalacked in the AL. looks like he got equally shallacked in both leagues to me.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jan 11, 2008 -> 10:09 PM) What can I say, I love nipples Why dont you just go for broke and superimpose the nipples on Bonds and put the rainbow in the background. It will truly be the best of both worlds.

So what is the messed up part? The actual prank, or the title of the article?

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Jan 11, 2008 -> 02:56 PM) I still haven't seen pictures...do they look a like at all? This is the worst part right here. you go through all of that hassle and then have to deal with the fact that you have to accept that your wife is actually your sister. The word embarrassment just doesnt quite cover it
