I love how the article pitts the failure to get a deal done with Santana as Ryan's fault. yeah, the Twins just throw around 200 million every offseason...

word.

QUOTE(JuiceCruz16 @ Sep 13, 2007 -> 09:49 AM) That is far from a veto type trade. Just because other owners don't like it does not give a reason to nix a trade. There is no shady reasons for this transavtion, so other owners should worry about running their own team. Agreed... it looks like only a couple of managers voted against, bc it went through this morning... I love the scope of my team now with "DA BEARS."

QUOTE(mreye @ Sep 13, 2007 -> 08:17 AM) FWIW, Kevin Jones is not officially on the PUP list. Yeah, I noticed that... I thought I heard before the season started that he was going to be. however, Eli's not out for 4 weeks, so I'd say they cancel each other out, and I'd bet Bell continues to get carries in that offense... he's more Marshall Faulk than Kevn Jones is. Did I just compare Tatum Bell to Marshall Faulk? haha It's a 14-team league... QB Cutler WR Moss WR A. Johnson WR C. Chambers RB Parker RB McGahee TE McMichael K whoever has a good matchup and is available DEF Bears RESERVES Tatum Bell Eli Manning Greg Olsen Brandon Jones Patrick Crayton Washington D/ST I just can't decide whether to play Crayton or Chambers (DAL/MIA play each other... and I think DAL D will give up a few airborne touchdowns... so I'll probably go with Chambers.)

In the last month (85 at bats), Wily Mo has 8 HR, 16 RBI, 1 SB and a .895 OPS.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 12, 2007 -> 02:20 PM) Much like Seinfeld at its best, or Arrested Development, the long-time running gags are a hallmark of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Plus, like Seinfeld, Enthusiasm is as monolithically high-concept as a show gets. For Seinfeld, the high concept was that it was "a show about nothing". For Enthusiasm, the high concept from which all story arcs and plot twists originate is, "this guy is simultaneously the biggest schlamiel and schlamazel (= hardluck a$$hole) that ever walked the planet." With a singularly crystalized set-up like that, the running gags and utter predictability of Larry's schlamiel/schlamazel ups and downs is a big part of what makes the show so fun. For me, anyway. To an extent yes. That's a great argument. For me though, I do not enjoy Curb nearly as much as Arrested Development and for that matter Seinfeld. Those shows all wound many stories together and were much better written. Though Curb is funny, it does not begin to approach the many levels of comedy that programs like Arrested Development and Seinfeld did.

A good premiere... but it's starting to become more of the same. We'll see though.

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Sep 11, 2007 -> 11:32 AM) Watched the first two epsiodes last night. I must say, Lost will be more interesting this year knowing that Penny Widmore gives good hand. Oh and yeah, her naked body is pretty good too. first two? i thought only one had aired?

I wasn't asking if I should do the trade... I already accepted it and am quite happy with what I am getting. I was asking if the trade should be getting veto'd by douchebags in my league because my team (the one receiving the bears defense) was getting way too much. Obviously not since two on this board think i'm getting the least value. It's worth it to me to slightly downgrade at WR in order to get a competent (and top 3 imo) defense in the league. With the injuries they have sustained hte last few weeks, I feel I'd be hard-pressed to get more than 5 points a week out of Dallas (and that -1 week 1 didn't help)

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 12, 2007 -> 01:10 PM) Not a bad explanation. Of course you are now upgrading your competition at certain positions though yeah, but id rather he run that woeful cowboys defense out there than me...

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 12, 2007 -> 10:36 AM) You are getting the short end of the stick there. The benefits of the Bears D doesnt outweigh the step down at QB, WR and RB See a level headed person. I had made the decision myself that I like Jay Cutler more than Phillip Rivers... and though I slightly downgrade at WR... I'm also downgrading at backup RB (Willie Parker/Willis McGahee starting) and backup QB (Eli vs Rivers... funny how it always comes down to that.) So the way I look at it, I downgrade ever so slightly at WR from Javon Walker to Andre Johnson, but the Bears D/ST blows dallas away... and I get a tad weaker at BYE weeks (though week 5 bye for one of my RB tatum bell > lendale white) However, this is why I was so perplexed as to why someone would b**** about the trade... but i guess that's how things are done in fantasy.

QUOTE(knightni @ Sep 12, 2007 -> 10:22 AM) Steve9347 > bored than Jim Thome yes... i am not doing much work here today.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 12, 2007 -> 10:30 AM) He's 22 and has been since April. you and your facts...

OK, so I am the commissioner of a fantasy football league. I left trades up to vote this year bc its for cash-money. Anyway, after Eli Manning was injured, his owner made me this offer. (note, today the news came out that it might not be a month, but that should have no bearing on a trade already agreed to). Eli Manning Andre Johnson Tatum Bell Bears D/ST for Phillip Rivers Javon Walker LenDale White Cowboys D/ST Obviously I crave that Bears defense, but feel that I downgrade at the three other positions. (Manning was drafted 3 rounds after rivers for a reason, has injury questions, and was a question mark before that), Walker is in a much better offense and 2 years removed from knee surgery, Bell's days at starter are numbered once KJ gets off the PUP list. Anyway, some other manager posted that this should be voted against and urged all other managers to vote against it, I argued my case... but in all honesty, want to know if outside people think it should be veto'd as well... thanks for the input!

As a late contributor to this thread... Frank Thomas > Jim Thome, Frank Thomas less $$$ Jim Thome, Frank Thomas older than Jim Thome, Frank Thomas more Soxy than Jim Thome.

give me furcal. in an updated version of mvp baseball (thank you, mvp mods) my first deal was to trade garland straight up for furcal. and no, i dont mention it as a reason for doing the trade, i was just happy with the trade in video game land and would be happier with it in real life.

Broadway doesn't have the mentality nor the stuff to be a contributing major league starter. If he can't challenge hitters in AAA (9th most BB in the minors) then he sure as s*** can't challenge them in the majors.

I think this is too be expected from a 21 year old who's not a power pitcher. He's worked harder this season than anyone in his entire life if i had to venture a guess. He just needs a break.

He's 22... there's plenty of time for him to become a productive player. How many years did Crede hit .230-.260 and the sox stuck with him? Sweeney's had 80 sporadic at bats in the majors... writing him off would be ridiculous.

wowsa YAY, i broke the story.

Spybot there is no other rival.

Yeah it will be a hit. I was surprised to see the hot chick from a few episodes of Lost (Jack's ex-wife, iirc) giving an HJ till climax. Must suck to be that actor...

jeez, i should have known to search back a couple of pages for a show that debuted that night... can a mod delete/move this to the other thread so it gets bumped?

Did anyone else watch this last night? It's a realistic view of marriage, almost too realistic, but the shocking part was obviously the graphic sexual content. I have to say I was shocked at how far they took it...

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Sep 5, 2007 -> 09:44 AM) This thread is soxtalk equivolent of hand gestures under the bathroom stall. For a guy with such a good avatar you sure are a meanie. Case in point though... Timberlake talk = gay to you, though he's actually musically talented and put out a great album. It's not just "I don't like JT" it's "You're gay for even talking about him."
