    He has a tendency to admire his home runs, and I get why Cole was a little peeved, but Cole could've just ignored it and been happy with the fact Gomez looked stupid admiring a ball in play. Had Gomez been hustling out of the gate it would've been an inside-the-parker instead of a triple. Gomez wouldn't have gone crazy if Cole didn't nag him into it Reference for those wondering: http://m.mlb.com/video/v32232541/milpit-benches-clear-after-gomez-triples-in-the-3rd/?query=carlos+gomez Finally watched this; that was great. [expletive] Cole.

    Yeah, but Alou is a perfect example of how I'm an idiot when it comes to this game; I adored ol' Pee Hands despite not being all that impressive with the Cubs except for '04, and yet I will always resent Rizzo for some reason even if he becomes amazing.

    Rizzo, meanwhile, looks like the bastard son of Robert Z'Dar.

    As opposed to the angelic Jose abreu you lusted after irrationally based on nothing I lusted after his oafish bat (come on, he was a Cuban hitting god, but it was never meant to be), not his oafish appearance. Soler seems pretty hunky, though he's apparently got mouth-breather syndrome.

    He's goofy-looking.

    Not really. So you had them with the best record in baseball on 4/20? Maybe if you were participating in 4/20, you would. It's a weird game; much, much stranger things have happened, plus it is, as you just pointed out yourself, only 4/20. Yeah, it's really not that weird. They have the talent to go on a nice 20ish game stretch, most teams have one like this over the course of the season. Theirs just happened at the beginning of the season and is more magnified. 10 of their games have been against the Pirates and Phillies, who most seem to think aren't that good. Right. I think a lot of us are just kinda shell-shocked from how bad our team has been and have almost forgotten that mediocre or even "normal" bad teams tend to go on runs. Hell, even the Cubs did, in their own adorable little ways, in the last couple seasons. The Brewers are just going on theirs early on.

    I don't know; I have a nagging suspicion it's the FO enamored with "their guy" as opposed to him being the cornerstone at 1B we all want (and really kinda need) him to be. I'm a baseball idiot, so there's not much to it beyond how I don't like his offensive splits and I'm not all that convinced that as much of last year can be chalked up to bad luck as some have argued. That said, I always love to be horribly, horribly wrong with these sort of these things.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    I still don't like him, but that's mostly based out of an inrrational response to his dumb-looking face. And he'll likely suck against lefities again soon.

    I hope one sticks between your eyes. Again. That's what happened, right?
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Not really.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Yes, because your rambling posts about made up opinions are so much more valuable.

    I didn't assume anything; he didn't really add anything new to make this depressing that they're not likely to extend him and it seems like they haven't had anything really great offered for him so far.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    The stupidity of the philosophy does not make the implementation of that philosophy the right move. Dammit, don't make it look like that that's my quote.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    yeah, if we're getting an A-ball guy i'd rather just hold onto him on the off-chance we accidentally re-sign him or someone offers something better down the line. doubly so if we're going to stupidly try to limit ourselves to the teams that happen to have catcher prospects. Yeah, though one of the most depressing parts seems to be that Samardzija simply wants out no matter what because he recognizes the Everlasting Turd surrounding him.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    This seems like a tremendously depressing storyline.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    OLT, YOU ANUS. RIZZO, YOU STALLION.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Si.

    Barney just homered.

    Uhhhhhhhh... Christ, I hate base-stealing.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Man, where is everyone? The Blackhawks are stupid and smell bad; come talk this game instead.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    There isn't, really...outside of Mojo pointing out that neely thinks everyone overrates him. Yeah, I think someone once said Rizzo could be a "generational" talent and it basically flipped a switch in his head and now Rizzo and what he perceives as his faults is his go-to to bring up whenever he thinks people are being too hard on another player. And I think there was a time where someone either compared Rizzo to Trumbo or Goldschmidt and neely just could not let it go.

    When I was in high school, of course I got picked on a ton. I didn't exactly deserve it, but I didn't make things easier on myself either. A common tactic was "toasting," which was knocking a kid's books all out of their hands in the hallways. I was hardly the only nerd in the class, so I figured maybe if I picked on a different loser I could up my status a little bit. One day after biology I snuck up behind this scrawny redheaded kid and went for it. I failed to actually knock any books out of his hand and almost fell down myself in the process. This is what you have been doing on NSBB lately. http://replygif.net/i/618.gif
