  1. He’s more like the trust fund baby that none of us ever knew because we are not in the .01%. Who thinks he worked hard and played by the rules to get where he got. He has no empathy because to do so would be to admit he didn’t earn a goddamn thing in his life and doesn’t belong except by accident of birth. And he doesn’t appreciate the help “cheating” to get by. Sammy should get in line and be thankful he got a chance. Instead he jumped the line and must now show repentance for his misdeeds.
  2. It will certainly be interesting as Williams has some of the same issues as Fields.
  3. I was living in NYC at the time. Dominicans would write his HR totals on their back windows of their cars with the flag. here is a link from 2012 from a bodega in the Bronx. He’s still a hero. http://brookeandphilsbigadventure.blogspot.com/2012/01/el-sammy-sosa-deli-things-you-find-in.html?m=1
  4. That’s a long way to get to the punchline but I like it.
  5. Presumably the Bears read the scouting report when they drafted Fields. So either they didn’t work on his weaknesses or weren’t able to overcome them. Additionally, they did him no favors by attempting to build the team up around him. I think they royally fucked him up, both through bad coaching and bad player management. I don’t believe in slow processing horsefeathers. It’s their responsibility to develop players and they didn’t. We will see if different coaching will help.
  6. Wow. I don’t know what to think.
  7. Adbert looking like a legitimate closer
  8. Marquee now doing infomercials in the middle of games. horsefeathers horsefeathers.
  9. They just showed Morel in Tempe. He hit the ball completely out of the park.
  10. Seiya with two HRs now.
  11. Suttcliffe is such a goober. Talking about Smyly blowing it past guys as he continues to get luck throwing fastballs down the middle of the plate.
  12. Suzuki Belli Gomes jacks
  13. Sharma think Suzuki is going to have an MVP type season. His spring has looked great. Just hit a HR.
  14. We are a week away from the start of the big league season and a few more from the minor league season. Who in your opinion is set to have a breakout (sleeper), who is currently not on the “I want to hang on to this guy” list that will be (keeper), and who is going to fall off the prospect radar (weeper). I’m not a prospect expert so I’m really looking forward to what others think. My sleeper: Davis - he’s fallen off the top 30 due to health. He’s going to mash AAA. My keeper: Pablo Aliendo - put on a lot of muscle this offseason. He’s a future big league catcher. My Weeper: Christian Hernandez. Too much swing problems.
  15. Madrigal cannot stay healthy. They cannot count on him to stay healthy. Nothing else matters.
  16. I just want to take this opportunity to say horsefeathers the Ricketts in the roughest way possible. They are more vile and disgusting humans than some dumbass kid from the DR could ever be. and also, TT, if don’t think Tom horsefeathers Ricketts doesn’t hold some kind of stupid White man rich guy grudge against arguably the 2nd best Cubs player of our lifetime I don’t know what to tell you other than you are giving the douche bags who run the Cubsa way, way too much credit.
  17. In case anyone forgot or didn't know, today is the prospect games vs. the Sox prospects.
  18. According to Brett or whoever runs the BN version of Bears blog, the Bears are “doing due diligence” with the prospects and hanging on to Fields right now. Which, if true makes Poles a liar at best.
  19. thanks. I've been watching the European games on NBC on Saturday mornings lately.
  20. I'm trying to get into soccer. What I cannot figure out is if the season ever ends or if it just goes on forever in a different form.
  21. Just reading the rumors and stuff, it appears that they have been trying to trade him and every time they get close the other team finds a better option that doesn't cost them draft picks. Goony's thesis that they can have both Wiilaims and Fields on the squad may get put to the test.
  22. That doesn’t seem like an overwhelming prospect haul for the Sox.
  23. Game is at 4PM vs Guardians No TV today, audio will probably be Guardians' feed.
  24. I said it before, he just has to make the routine plays. His glove and range appear to be fine, his throwing is the problem. If they can work on that without also giving him a case of the yips, he will be fine.
