I never understood people that would go in the vent thread to dispute a vent. Why even go in there if you aren't venting? To me, those are the posts that should have been deleted.
I'm still and forever will be a critic of that Linebrink trade. Getting a middle reliever for two months of work is not a move to put you in the playoff hunt. If they had gotten something more long term (i.e. bullpen help for '08) I wouldn't mind it so much.
I think this is the original: http://njfrogman.blogspot...conference-i-came-to.html Unless someone has a transcript of the news conference, I have trouble taking a quote from a blog at face value.
If the team had gone out and signed a guy like Cameron for 1 year and $10 million, some on this board would be doing handsprings saying "Finally! They are opening up the pocketbooks!".
Thanks, dpapo. I was just about to post that. If it is Kotsay, I plan on sending this to TH so he can ask Melvin about it. I don't think he ever got a quote from Kendall on this stuff.
"And the online streaming through your 360 or Roku player is the wave of the future. If you haven't bought Blu-Ray don't, you're just wasting your money." So I take it that's all High Def?
John Lennon sang for the Beatles. Vladimir Lenin killed millions of people (oops, wait - that was Stalin. Lenin was just a communist) (Vladmir Ilyich Ulyanov, Donnie!!!!!)
I've had it for 4+ years and love it. Turnaround time is usually like two days (i.e. I drop something in the mail on Monday, get a new DVD on Wed). Selection is huge and you can watch some movies right on your PC - even better since I got a new monitor. Definitely worth the money if you rent a lot of movies.
I didn't find Dwight's lines funny at all - his cheshire grin was funny though. Angela had one line that made me crack up - something about "anti Christmas as France."
Just because one window closes doesnt mean the team will suck forever. There's still a lot of young talent locked up for a long enough time that they could make legit runs in 2010 and 2011 - and I'm not giving up on 2009 yet.
14) Taylor Green, 3B, Grade C+: Solid hitter, but perhaps not enough pop to play third in the long run. Wasn't he on pace for 20 HRs in the FSL before he got hurt?
So I wonder if Melvin will spend the $15 - 20 million he had earmarked for CC next year? Does this open things up to take on salary all over the place?
