Indeed.

Did you goddamned dirty sitters stuff the box while this was hidden in the depths of anteneorattoed Desipio? I swear this was split evenly at last check.

I got a new computer, so I voted again.

One for MAD, one for PANK!

Because railing for the standers is more important than staying at 1908. 09 was a good year, too.

Sucks for you guys that I got to this number of posts.

Oooo, I can't wait.

Yea. The contract Polanco got was at least a year too long. Like Pen had said afterwards, 2/12 would have been fine, not 3/18 with an option for the 4th (not sure who the option is for though: club, player, or mutual).

Don't look now, but the free agent outfield pool has become much, much stronger.

Starting in right field for your Cincinnati Reds, Jacque Jones!

CF has to be fast and lead off. Willy Tavaras is faster than Jock.

Is Mike Cameron still fast?

QuoteMike Cameron is the Cubs' top option to play center field, reports Gordon Wittenmeyer of the Chicago Sun-Times.
The only thing standing between the Cubs and Cameron is Milton Bradley, argues Wittenmeyer. If and when Bradley is moved, it sounds as if Cameron will immediately be inked, who has manager Lou Pinella's approval. The 37-year old remains an excellent fielder and is also remarkably consistent with the bat, having averaged 22 home runs and 75 RBI over the past 11 seasons with little fluctuation. The right-hander would be a great complementary player on the South Side and would come without a long-term contract attached. Things can always change, but this is one rumor that makes all the sense in the world. Marlon Byrd was also mentioned as a person of interest to the club.

I can't wait to see him patrolling CF at U.S. Wrigular Field.

Apparently there's some other rumor about the Cubs getting both Granderson and Cabrera in a trade with the Tigers.  I heard it from a friend who knows a girl who's sleeping with Andrew Cashner.

Mike Cameron would be a valuable asset to have. He's not a phenomenal player but he's pretty good. He does K a lot (I'm sure the Wrigley idiots will love that) and doesn't have a high BA but he does get on base at a decent clip (.340 lifetime, league average last year was .333). I've been saying that *if* the Cubs feel that they have to trade Bradley, I wanted to see a bullpen arm or some young guys for him, move Fukkake to RF and sign Cameron for CF. He, along with Polanco, were  the ones I wanted. Polanco's gone, so Cameron's the one I'll pine for. Give him a one year deal.

On the flip side, Bill James' projections only have him at a .328 OBP, .756 OPS, and a .330 wOBA. Projections aren't perfect, but, hey, it's something

Alright, Gil. It's on, sir.

You spent another $60 just to buy the same game on the PS3?  I know I'm a nerd, but holy shit is that a waste of money.  Either way, good hunting.

I spent $10. Traded some older games that I haven't played in months for it. Still nerdy but yea.

Yes, no, maybe??

Great picture, cannot wall mount.  Bulb burns out, but fairly cheap to replace.  Also takes a few minutes for the picture to full project as the bulb has to warm up.  Only reason to pass on DLP is the size.

That model has 3 HDMIs, 3 Component, and a PC hook up.  Seems pretty good.

Price is terrific.

DO NOT BUY HDMI CABLES AT BEST BUY.

I never did get this TV. Was talked out of it. However, I got a warning on my TV today that my bulb was going low so I had to drop $140 for a new one.. Nice choice, Yeti.

Alright, Gil. It's on, sir.

Pardon me while I overindulge into this....

QuoteFox, who was an All-American catcher at Michigan but played third, first and the outfield for the Cubs last season, enjoyed his time in Chicago, even with the most controversial Cub and supposed team pariah, Milton Bradley.

    "He was always really good to me," Fox said of Bradley. "He was a great guy to me. He's got a wonderful family, and he kind of took me under his wing. He was a really good teammate. A lot of the fans didn't like him, and I can understand that. Maybe he put on a different persona or something. But he's always really good to me."

Fuck you Dempster. Fuck everyone. Bam BITCHES.

This should be treated as being no more nor less important than what Urlacher had to say last weekend.

Probably true, but I find myself fistpumping myself in the taint over this.

You're trying too hard with this statfag thing.

The Milton love isn't just stat-based.

That's good, because that wouldn't make much sense.

I still think he's a good player and any trade they make will make the team worse, but I know he's not like a JAY KVOX caliber of player.

Am I understanding this correctly?  You can blow up the care package smoke grenade?

No, the blowing up thing is basically that video Weebs linked a page or so back. The smoke grenade thing is just about how you can run fast as fuck with it and Lightweight and Marathon selected

Also, damn you gil for making me think about picking this up for the PS3 also so we can tear shit up.

Wouldn't it make more sense for Gil to get a 360 so he can play with all of the cool kids?

I've always been a Sony brand loyalist, so that's why I got the PS3.  Plus, the Blu-ray is nice too.  

Maybe y'all should think about getting a PS3.  My cousins and I are dominating this game lately.  And they're 3 hours ahead of me too.

I have one.  That's why I strongly recommend getting a 360.

As a dual system owner I echo this loudly. The only games I'll buy for PS3 are the exclusive ones. Basically, The Show. Blu-ray is nice, though.

Agreed. I've only purchased Uncharted, The Show, Little Big Planet (Hey, it's fun), and Infamous. I may violate this pact, but we'll see.
