You're all my friends except David, and that's only because he's a robot. I'd like a robot friend I guess, still.

 

He'll get that "feelings" update one day.

Can't argue with much of the dislike towards Fowler. I looked up his splits cause it kind of felt like he's been better lately, but nope, 686 OPS in July.

 

should've looked at post ASB/second half

[OleMissCub]

I love all of you because you're Cubs fans. It's too bad if you guys don't see it that way too. Sports are supposed to overcome differences in personalities to me.....that is like the entire [expletive] point of sports.

 

I think you and others are taking the ball busting too seriously.

I take everything too seriously. You've seen my post history, right?

 

Seriously though this forum can ostracize new posters sometimes. I try to defend them because I've seen a lot of people come and go on here (myself included), and it's just kind of sad to me. I know I'm illogical and emotional and too serious -- but I also want people to have fun here, and not be scared to hit the Submit button all the time.

also arrieta is in that picture mojo

 

Is that him behind Rizzo? I figured that was one of the random bullpen bodies floating around these days.

 

pretty sure you're talking about hammel

 

arrieta is behind starlin/next to motte

Fowler is a fart in the wind and will be forgotten after he is cast aside once the season concludes.

 

fowler is cool as [expletive] you stupid [expletive]

 

dude comes out to chedda the connect and is a super nice guy with swag for days.

 

he's also on pace for only slightly less war than derosa was that year, but we're not talking about that. if unremarkable derosa gets points for being cool, then so does fowler.

 

Fowler isn't going to sniff DeRo's Cubs WAR in any way at all when this year is done. I'll bet you a pile of delicious RAM chips.

[bhogg]

Best game ive ever attended wow!!!

[OleMissCub]

Alex Guerrero is being discussed in trade talks per Ken Rosenthal. That could be an interesting target for a platoon bat in the outfield.

Most of the new posters have been gibberish monsters. You're only defending them because deep down you know you're one of them.

The mental image of David devouring silicon brings a smile to my face.

it's not about being new posters or any clique

 

it's about being a moron

 

good posters don't get berated and made fun of. we've had a handful of other guys only they don't get noticed because they aren't saying stupid [expletive] constantly (which gets them doubly noticed when they're argued with or made fun of) or starting a million [expletive] stupid threads

Of course I am. Embrace the lunacy of being a Cubs fan bro. Doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes down to it.

dero was a 2.5 war player in 2007

That's just a sideburn!

You guys remember Mephisto? You want that guy back? No? Then realize that the "gibbering monsters" are the lesser of two evils.

i'd much rather have meph here being an [expletive] aside from his weird sociopathic stuff

[DiamondMind]

Meph makes me look like the pinnacle of sanity.

I know. Fowler's only going to get near it if the last couple of weeks are how he plays most of the rest of the way out as opposed to how he looked for most of May, all of June and the first half of July.

[DiamondMind]

I'm going to bed. I'm sorry if I piss people off here and there, but I really am trying to defend people for the good of this forum as a whole. If you dont believe that or agree with it, I can't change your opinion.

 

Go Cubs

That was usually the most entertaining part.

[Guest]

i was wrong about hammel. he's on the right.

 

i can't tell who the big shawn camp eared dude is behind rizzo

Carrie Muskat would be proud of the two of you. The one behind Rizzo (to his right, our left) is Teagarden.

 

Hammel is the tallest guy all the way on the right, behind Wood.

[ctcf]

Yeah I'll take a hard pass on the Meph alternative. That dude was fucked up.
