I don't really use it.. Made one.. posted a few things.. thought it was pointless for me to use..

If I see anything from Twitter its what you guys post.

Twitter is absolutely the best place for breaking news.

I don't use it much for connecting with friends, mostly for news.

People would be smart to lay off of the Chase Headley hype. He really hasn't done that much and people are already ridiculously building him up.

He's been playing in the biggest park in the league. His home road splits are ridiculous. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that playing in Wrigley will tremendously help his stats.

He's good. He's not 30+. He's cheap. He went to Tennessee.

What's not to like?

EDIT: and he plays good defense.

Haha, I knew you'd bring up Tennessee. :D

But I agree. He's a solid pickup if they do get him.

:rolleyes:

If the Cubs signed Reyes, they'd be the best team ever.

And if the Marlins got Chase Headley, they'd be nuts.

The Marlins probably should've tried to trade for Chase Headley :lol: Reyes is a very good player but all those injuries have to be worrisome, I'm surprised the Marlins paid so much even though Reyes would've gotten a huge payday (just not as big as that or so I thought).

Yeah and now that they're in on Pujols, they may actually have Heath Bell to save games. :lol:

Are you kidding? They've been scamming people about not having money for a long time. This was something that was revealed not long ago.

Yeah, I recall the leaked documents of their financials, but it still seems weird that a cheapskate franchise would suddenly find all this random money in their mattresses.

I remember a report that showed the Marlins and the Pirates are the most profitable franchises.

The Cubs wouldn't sign Reyes, though. We have this dude named Castro. Perhaps you've heard of him. Yeah, the Marlins would be nuts to get a guy who actually plays 3B that is cheap. Totally nuts.

Sounds like the same one I saw. I think they're profitable because they don't spend money and keep all the revenues plus the revenue sharings :lol:
