Braves want to win this year for Cox... I wouldn't be surprised if there was a few more deals like this.

 Mediocre free agents isn't really the problem (aside from Bradley).  The problem is that they signed guys to very long contracts that they cannot get rid of and they have gotten old (Lee, Ramirez, Soriano), and their minor league system has failed to produce suitable replacements.  And Zambrano is obviously a huge disapointment as well, but any GM would have signed a guy with that sort of talent to a long term contract. THIS.

  Lol you guys clearly don't know anything about Chicago sports fans... The cubs have not won in over 100 years now, and they are still the most popular team in Chicago.... Everyone still wears their cubs stuff with pride, and they still sell out every single game... Chicago is plenty used to this bs the Cubs pull every year... Remember folks, "The lovable losers" was practically our official motto in the 90's and early 2000's... Trust me, Chicago cares about the Cubs... About double the fan base of the white sox. As for Z, I say trade him if there is a team stupid enough to take him, if not, I think its time to just waive/cut his sorry ass... He's not a has been, he is a never was, who had a few moments of brilliance a few years ago...  Z is another one of Jim Hendry's brilliant contracts... Thanks to him we are stuck with Ramirez, Lee, Z, and Soriano for years to come, all with huge contracts. Also, I hate to say it, but it's time for Lou to retire.

Awesome video. Much better than a meh.

RIP. Greatest Coach in the History of Sports. +1

I feel terrible for Jim Joyce. He has been a really good ump for 20 years now, and this will be his legacy. Every single ump in the bigs makes a bad call every now again again, he wasn't just going to call him out even if it was close, he has more respect for the game and the feat to do that. He thought he was safe on a judgement call, he wasn't. Joyce feels terrible for it, and I feel terrible for him. Joyce wasn't trying to be a dick or anything, he was trying to make the correct call each time. He missed this one, its unfortunate, but I will tell you Joyce feels MUCH worse than Gallaraga does this morning. Please, MLB, no suspension. The man has already had his punishment, this may haunt him for many years.

3) Pregnancy: Now imagine having to put that same start center fielder on the 60-Day DL with "pregnancy". And seeing as the off season is only 4.5 months (3.5 for playoff teams) a woman would never be able to start a family without ending up on the DL. 4) Locker rooms: This is really the big one. There will never be split locker rooms and teams in general won't want women in their locker rooms. From men feeling uncomfortable to sexual harassment, it's just a terrible thing. THESE. The locker room one is a VERY good point. I just don't see it happening. The ONLY way I could see it is if the woman has an amazing knuckleball, or another pitch that almost no other human, male or female, can throw correctly and accurately.. My biggest concern is that we will have a situation like what professional auto racing experiances where a woman is in the pros just because she is a woman, and the team is looking to sell tickets and fill the grandstands, not because she is skilled enough to be there. (See: Shawna Robinson, Tina Gordon)

RIP... Very sad to see both of them pass.

Well my post got deleted but the point still stands. He's a troll and people have been banned here for the same exact thing. Oh my god quit being a baby. I found his posts funny. Thanks, Cubs fan. Not a problem, Marlins fan. No rule here that you must be a Marlins fan. I have never been a "troll" or whatever. I just enjoy these forums, and I do like the marlins, even though they are not my favorite team.... You've never seen me post a thread like "Hanley Sucks" or "Marlins blow!" or anything, I just enjoy these forums more than I enjoy the other baseball forums. Good smart group of baseball fans. For the most part.

Steve Bartman SIGH!

I'm shocked Mr. Marlin Pride didn't make a thread saying we should sign him Douche!

Gregg will blow up soon. Give him 3 weeks and he will be back to his old self.

The change means, for example, that if a player makes a taunting gesture to an opponent on the way to scoring a touchdown, the flag would nullify the score and penalize the offending team from the spot of the foul. Penalties for dead-ball misconduct fouls (for example, unsportsmanlike behavior after the player crosses the goal line) would continue to be assessed on the ensuing kickoff or the extra point/two point conversion attempt. Imagine if this rule is used after a team just scored the winning touchdown in a BCS game, this rule is terrible.

I think this will hurt the Dolphins more than help them to be honest. I, as a Kyle Orton fan, am SO glad that Marshall is out of Denver. I see the Dolphins going 7-9 next year, just no way to compete with the Jets and the Patriots, too many holes. One of the worst posts in the history of the board. If you would open your eyes and not be such a damn homer you would realize that the Broncos were a much more complete team last season with Marshall then you are this season, and they could only go 8-8. He was not worth any more than one (1) second round pick, and he is not even close to worth the money. Talent wise he is, but a lot of players could be great if only talent mattered. Its time to open your eyes, the Dolphins are going to sell tickets with this trade, but that is it. You guys are blinded by the light that you got a VERY talented wideout, and I understand the excitement that at least your team is trying to compete with the elite Jets and Patriots, but on paper right now I just can't see it. gtfo. seriously. there's the door. If they go over .500 (9-7 or better) next season I will delete my account and leave the boards forever. Mark it down.
