  1. great trade for the Cubs

     

    Sammy has been a locker room cancer for many years now.

     

    in most clubhouses the starting pitcher chooses the music for the day.

     

    Sammy blasted his Salsa at 11 every day.

     

    the day he skipped out, Kerry Wood took a bat to Sammy's boom box.

     

    he was a good diversion when the Cubs were losing 90+ games/year but they were never going to be a serous series contender with him on the Cubs.

     

    i did not say team because there was no team in Sammy's limited English vocabulary. it was all  Me, Me Me.

     

    a bag of batting practice balls would have ben a good trade for him.

     

    addition by subtraction.

     

    he was a huge hole in the lineup batting 3rd. a major rally killer.

     

    he should have batted 8th but finally agreed to go down to 6th. that cost the Cubs a good 5-6 wins early in the year which cost them the playoffs.

    Great insight! My sister lives in Chicago and I go to tons of Cubs games. She used to live in Wrigleyville two blocks away from Wrigley. Fuggin awesome! I am a Yanks fan but love the Cubs too. I would love to see the Cubs do something next year. They definately have some talent and I agree Sammy gone will help them. Go Cubs!

  2. What about trying to resign Williams and Jennings and making a run at Tra Thomas. We have 9+ million in cap room before Moulds restructures. Hopefully we can trade Drew. I am no cap expert but my guess is that would free up some cap room too. Say we could resign ours and add Tra we could move Jennings to LG. Tra Thomas-Jonas-Teaque-Villereal-Williams is a fantastic line! We really do not have too many other needs and could draft the highest rated players on our board. We could look to add another TE and further upgrade our line. I like Nugent alot too. It will be a fun draft because we do not have to draft for need

  3. seriously??? if you couldn't find the humor in ND, i kinda feel sorry for you.  maybe it reflected your days in high school too closely and it made you cringe.    <_<

     

    i'm looking forward to H and K, heard it was funny.  we'll see if its OLD SCHOOL funny.

    huh? Peoples sense of humor is subjective. Just like tastes in females, music, foods, clothes, opinions. Its what makes us individuals and unique. Thats like saying "I feel sorry because you dont like Uni Sushi." Napoleon is a dumbass film. I know many people that have seen it and they are pretty split. Half the people think its the funniest thing and many others I know think its the dumbest film they ever saw. I myself feel like I lost IQ points watching it. You loved it? Great! Not all of us see it that way

  4. Instant Karma is gonna get you! That kid got what he deserved. I fuggin hate bullys. All my life I have stuck up for kids that were being bullied. I so beleive in Karma. I have always had good karma. If I walk down the road I swear I cannot go half a mile without someone I know picking me up. I drove a lemon for years. Everytime I broke down someone pulled over within 5 minutes. Good karma happens to me on a weekly basis. Example- the other night I was shooting pool with my buddy. There were a few people in front of us, they were playing partners and I threw up a dollar in change on the table. Anyways it was our turn- my friend racked with his own change. We ran the table, gave the people we played our table(we were supposed to meet someone and had to leave) and decided to leave the dollar for the next guy. We commented on that as we walked away-lets leave the dollar for the next person. We walk outside and right outside the front door find a crisp dollar on the ground. Karma once again in action. Life is full circle. Do good and good will come your way! The converse is true as well. Fight the good fight!

  5. I am sorry to hear that. I would document everything, have the police write up the incident, file small claims, and call animal control. I love dogs but do not care for German Shepards. Every Shepard I have ever been around is scary protective. Owners need to look after their dogs better. Too many people get a big dog as a puppy and let it sleep with them, walk through doors before them, and let the dog think its the alpha male. Totally irresponsible! Then when there is an incident its never their dog. I have had some problems getting chased with dogs on bike rides. Noone should have to deal with that

  6. That was some of the worst clock management ever. I put that on Jim Kelly though. ESPN has broken down that last drive before and we wasted over 1 minute by not spiking the ball, not getting out of bounds, misuse of timeouts. What I do fault Marv for- Thurman Thomas 15 carries 135 yards. That was vintage Thurman. The Giants ran a 2-5 defense. Why the hell did Thurman not get the ball more?

  7. Pete, I'm not saying this in a bad way (as I am a big guy), but you don't look like the type that bikes 60 miles a day... You're a big dude - aren't guys that bike like that the real thin veiny underweight guys like Lance Armsrtong... ???

    Hey Steve-aren't you 6'5, 240 and Ukrainian? I am not 6'5-but us Ukrainians are strong as hell! I do bike 30 miles a day. Usually I bike 200-250 miles a week. Even so I am 200 pounds and lean. God does not make us Ukrainians small! Did you know Lance used to be much heavier before he had his cancer? He lost lots of weight but yet kept his power. The more weight the harder to get oxygen to your cells. Cancer actually helped Lance's biking career. Lance is still a bad ass but back in the day Lance used to get in fist fights during races

  8. That's true - for a job where if you're not there someone else has to cover, I didn't use days off (I worked retail for a few years in high school). But, man, a broken arm?

    220326[/snapback]

    That works out for me too. I manage over 100 people. Noone will dare call in sick to me with storys they hear. I bike 30 miles everyday to work too, no matter what the weather is. If someone tells me they cannot make it because car problems I say tough- get on your bike. They say "its raining" I say "so" :doh:

  9. why?

     

    do you get a trophy for perfect attendence?

     

    Seriously, I mean, I can see being dedicated. But life is far too short. Everyone needs a 3-day weekend here and there. But even if you aren't in that mindset, if you break your arm, you should take the day off. ..

    I enjoy life plenty dont worry. I get plenty of paid time off. In two weeks I backpack Europe for 6 weeks paid! My employers treat me very well and I reciprocate. Also if I were to call in sick someone else would have to come in. They should be allowed to enjoy their lifes too

  10. I have been best man a couple times and planning the stag is fun. I had people begging me to go out and scout strippers with me. I am in the restauraunt business and have friends at just about every restauraunt and bar around me. It was fun to go grab drinks, hang out and order booze or food from them. We go golfing in the am- its not that hard to get a tee time. I applaud your effort and ambition. I just dont think this venture would work. Keep plugging away though.
