get it right. That's Jack Sparrow.

I'd kiss Theo's feet if he trades Barney.

My first workplace conversation about the new Cubs season was yesterday, and it was with a kindly older lady whose only real concern was Barney bouncing back and how she felt they screwed him over last year.

how is poor darwin supposed to get into a rhythm if he only gets 555 plate appearances? i bet he could've gotten that ops up to .580 with some regular playing time.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

he would have gotten his OBP over 300 if he wasn't jerked around all over the lineup.

jesus christ, I knew he was bad last year, but I guess I wasn't paying attention hard enough. 208/266/303? why the god damn [expletive] did they even tender him a contract. I don't care if he's ozzie smith at second.

 

i bet alcantara could have put up better numbers if he skipped AA and AAA.

when i went to make my post, i was initially going to say "get that ops up to 650" before i checked his stats. waaaaaaaaaay overshooting.

She REALLY thinks he's the leader of the team.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Look, all I know is that they want to increase their hanging out time by 100%.

[NOLA]

Watch Olt have some ridiculous spring that turns out not to be anything.

Yeah, I keep thinking this is going to happen. Maybe Vitters too.

[NOLA]

Seriously, I somehow see Olt going all Brian LaHair and going crazy early.

[Derwood]

this is the first year i have ever looked at the first spring training pictures and felt nothing.

 

I barely even read the Cubs Discussion board at all anymore. It's nothing but Kyle, jersey and David having the same circular argument in every [expletive] thread, all of which make me want to inject heroin into my forehead. I watched all of three games last season and I might bet the under on that this year

You're gonna love it in three months when we switch to "is it too early to root for the Cubs to lose?" arguments.

I demand someone do the 'sunglasses drop, deal with it' thing on that Theo pic, despite his already wearing sunglasses.

If I ever had to [expletive] a dude, it would be Theo. Or Michael Fassbender.
