bruce thinks it's a low-risk move, mostly harmless. will everyone stop bitching about it now?

It is low-risk performance-wise. That doesn't make it less stupid.

No, because Bruce is wrong.

 

 

I could well be wrong. I've had to talk myself into living with it (like I have another choice). If it doesn't work, they'll just get rid of him.

not wrong...just playing nice/not burning bridges.

[Careless]

Well that was weird

[jersey cubs fan]

Well that was weird

 

what happened?

With all due respect to Bruce, I think even he would agree that people are allowed to have differing opinions about things. Now obviously he's more in the know, and might have some sort of knowledge about why Pie was never given a shot, or why Edmonds was better than his numbers in SD, but even then, this isn't a communist board where everyone is supposed to think alike.

 

no, i beg to differ. it is a communist board because we're all supposed to be meatballs and hate edmonds or get flamed.

 

Why does it make somebody a meatball to dislike bad baseball players on the Cubs?

 

meatballs don't hate edmonds because he's a bad baseball player.

 

like i said, the move is pointless at worst.

there are those who would have you think so...but they will be eliminated soon.

[Outshined_One]

BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE!

[Careless]

what happened?

They had a whole bunch of kids say the pledge of allegiance before the anthem

 

Better than hearing "god bless America" though

I don't know why, but calling people meatballs sounds so odd. Sounds like something someone would say in the 70's

Spoken like a true Cubs fan. :thumbsup:

[PrimeTime]

I am still really weirded out about this...Watch him hit a game winning home run and then everyone changes their minds and he becomes a fan fave

[Bull]

Comrade!

actually, it does. you see, low-risk means "little risk".

I just threw up a little in my mouth when Pat said "Jim Edmonds is set to make his Cubs debut"

No, you're right. It would only have been bad had it taken PT away from Pie. But since Felix wasn't getting any, it really doesn't make any difference.

Before Dolan got sanctimonious and impressively bitter, that used to be a good site.

 

Edmonds getting a good response.

Huh?

[Careless]

And we have a bunch of shirtless "E-d-m-o-n-d-s" guys in the bleachers. boo.

[jersey cubs fan]

No it can be worse. I don't get why people don't see the real downside risk. Just because the Cubs can get rid of him if he's bad, it doesn't mean they will get rid of him if he's bad. The Cubs have weird ways of determining whether or not a guy is good or bad anyway.

I forgot you are the resident communist.

 

Shouldn't you like a communist board then?

no, it doesn't. it's just the best term for what they are.

 

i think characterizing it as "odd" is even more odd.
