    Holy [expletive], I never thought I'd see someone try to narrow Trout down as a "speed guy."
  2. Sammy Sofa
    I'd have to imagine that the pitch for investing in a Cubs network would probably go over a lot better when the team is a lot better and the organization's finances and reorganization plans weren't so publicly stuck in neutral. I'm not saying that it's a bust that people would flee screaming from, but the timing just doesn't seem right for some really key (and depressing) reasons.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Not even if there's a billion dollar pot of gold at the end of that rainbow? Given this stupid debt structure nonsense and all the other [expletive] they're trying to find change for, yeah, I seriously doubt they could buy out both Comcast and WGN.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    There's is absolutely no [expletive] way the Ricketts could afford that.

    I voted yes, but to imply it's impossible to say no is silly. Yeah, this. I love the direction the farm has gone, but really... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu1JMbSLPvc I voted "yes," but I want a throbbing "YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!" when those punks kids start turning into awesome major league players or get traded for some.

    Why? BJ Upton was pretty [expletive] cool for 6 seasons prior to last year and was only 27 at the time. I know all the numbers we all love seemed to favor him, but he just never seemed to be worth all the hype that comes with that type of contract. His contract seemed right in line with that he was producing. Basically what happened is just something that's total hindsight; nobody thought he'd topple off of a cliff like this at 28 barring a major injury.

    I think they're doing a good job despite the incompetence of the people who actually own the organization.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Man, I was so excited over that idea. Theo probably was, too. [expletive] Ricketts.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    I seriously doubt anyone here is sorry they "missed out" on Lincecum...the worry is that his deal is indicative of how much money is going to be tossed around.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Again, why would anyone rather run their team like one with financial limitations? I would rather run a team like the Cardinals, but with the Phillies' money.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    I mean, I want the Cubs to be able to use all avenues available to better their team. It makes no sense to me to say something like "I love second tier free agency" like it's better if they win that way or they should willfully avoid big contracts when they can afford them.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    It is when you think the top end of free agency is a pool of guys that mostly have had their best years and you'll be paying them a ton of money for doing a lot of great things for his former team. It's why I didn't want Albert Pujols. It's why I didn't want B.J. Upton. Josh Hamilton. It's why I don't want Robinson Cano. Upton was 28 going into this season. Pujols was 32 going into his first year with the Angels. Josh Hamilton turned 32 a month into his first season with the Angels. Yeah, Upton had a monstrously bad year, but why are you lumping him in with Pujols and Hamilton as if he's an older player? Fielder was 28 his first year with Detroit. And come on, the Cubs should be a team like the Dodgers or Phillies or Angels that can take the hit of 2-3 bum years in a big contract for a top tier player. Why would it be a bad thing if they could afford to do that?

    I mean, it's cool and all that the Rays have been able to do what they've done, but it shouldn't be something to aspire to when you're the [expletive] Cubs in mother [expletive] Chicago.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    TIM. I'MA GIVE YOU $40 FOR THIS DUMP. Get over here and let me Sam Zell you like a mofo.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    It [expletive] better be.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    I like how the Phillies are rewarded with stupid money after spending dumb and the Cubs are being strongarmed in a back alley by the powerhouse that is [expletive] WGN.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    LOVE THIS IDEA.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, that [expletive] never made any sense. Yeah, the dude with the big ass grim reaper tattoo is totally nice because he's quiet and has a 13-year-old's mustache.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Jesus Christ, get the new advertising up before the Cubs become the Rays also in how they have to nearly let everyone go.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Word. This place is on the verge of collapse. RETURN THE SHUNNED.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    For [expletive]'s sake.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Just maintaining the Sparky Anderson legacy.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    AKA eat [expletive], hockey.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Though the Hitler-'stache would be tacky...try a Stalin-style one instead.
