Do not want trade

-Bradley's tenure will ultimately be viewed as positive. 2nd cycle coaches are too risky.... -No to Klinsmann...please no. -Rumors abound about Marcelo Lippi.

I hope the rumblings about a Copa Americas are more than just rumblings

The Eddie Vedder song was hot garbage.

I'd pay real money for the left field bleachers to become the ULTRA section and for fans to start singing "who the [expletive] is Ryan Howard" or something, though, but that's just me. As long as people are having fun, who cares what they sing. The point of sports is to enjoy yourself and have fun. It's not [expletive] art or social commentary. If you want to hear Fleet Foxes, go listen to Fleet Foxes. That what, you know, musicians are for.

What's this now?

EVERYONE JUST STOP REPLYING TO THIS IF WE ALL IGNORE IT, IT WON'T MATTER http://images.wikia.com/simpsons/images/6/61/Just-Dont-Look.jpg karma

Because those are essential parts of the game. Flinging out in a dive for a catch isn't. Ideally nobody would have to explain to this to you. Catching the ball is not an essential part of the game, huh? Fascinating. This is bad even for you.

I was wondering why you hadn't chimed in yet.

If he would stop listening to reggaeton and starting hitting the weights, he wouldn't have missed like all of 2009 when he dove and separated his shoulder. Lazy ass.

/ ARAM buys into this philosophy, it seems to fit others on the team. Jesus Red Roaring Christ

Oy veh

Major market teams don't trade away cornerstone players for prospects. Aramis just turned 33 years old. Do you really think the Cubs will compete for a World Series ring in the next 2 years or so when he could still be a major contributor? If the answer to that question is no, then trading him for prospects seems like a good idea to me. I'm not opposed to picking up the option, or even giving him a 2-year extension in place of the option, but if the Cubs can get good value in return for him then I'm all for it. They may have to spend the same amount of money to attempt to replace him, but then they will have replaced him plus gained young talent in return. It all comes down to whether the Cubs are going to continue to try to patch teams together or if they may actually commit to building for a few years down the road. -I'm biased here, but I think he should retire as a Cub -Yes, the Cubs can conceivably contend for a title within the next two seasons. Their division sucks and they have the biggest market in said division. -The Cubs can commit to building for a few years down the road without gutting their major league roster of their best talent. Aramis and Castro are their best two players. Castro is more valuable due to positional scarcity and age, but Aramis is their best offensive player. You decide to trade him for the nebulous "young talent" that we currently suck at developing, you're begging to suck for the next 2-3 years unless we get lucky and land Pujols or Fielder.

He hasn't been any good since 2005

Olin Kreutz is everything wrong with football in one overrated package

This is some good stuff right here. I'll echo the others who have chimed in, though, and say that hiring Baker was far and away the worst decision on multiple levels.

-Canales is a hack -Mikey needs to chill out -Word on the street is that there's a growing divide in the locker room.

I saw both pks in a bar...never have i seen such terrible pk's at that level

Oh my god, the stupid power outages here made me miss all this glorious goodness

Are you gay? That's the only reason it would be strange. She's really hot. Portland v Seattle in 30 minutes on ESPN. it's gonna be epic. Hope Solo is so wicked hot

Are you gay? That's the only reason it would be strange. She's really hot. Portland v Seattle in 30 minutes on ESPN. it's gonna be epic. This crowd is unbelievable. Explain. Portland & Seattle= best two fanbases and most hate between teams in the league. Jeld-Wen is awesome...first time I'm seeing it not dark/drenched in rain.

Boner.

I wish more of our players spent a year or two in the Erdevisie

Highlights wouldn't capture the totality of how good their attack was and how poor we were defensively. Waking up this morning, I came to the conclusion that, as much as it sucks to lose, they are a much better team than we are, and that it was an immensely entertaining (if frustrating) game to watch. And we STILL had a chance to tie 3-3 go off the bar, and even at 4-2 if Bradley's shot at the open net goes it, we would have been set up for a colossal finish, as I think Mexico just completely bunkers if that happens. I think they have the best attack we've faced in a long time. Wave after wave.
