    Jesus, I forgot about the thumb; for some reason I was thinking it was the Giants game where he ended up with like 8 concussions.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    Weird. It's like that whole "protecting the quarterback" thing is kind of important.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    To put it another way: subtract the commies and the NHL is mostly a collection of hilarious face pubes come playoff-time.

    And yes, I know SOME hockey players can actually grow beards; most of them look like unwashed meth addicts when they try to pull it off. The Blackhawks mostly looked like outtakes from Heavy Metal Parking Lot, whereas the Red Sox are parading out beard upon magnificent beard.

    I mean, yeah, sure, I'm sure people DO prefer disgusting, patchy collections of wispy facial stubble vs. majestic full beards, but those people are creeps.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    To be fair, MLB playoff beards are SO much better than NHL playoff beards.

    EVERYTHING'S COMING UP N&G.

    Sonofa.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    I like you.

    They couldn't stop Washington without five of the starters on D. Six if you count Peppers being invisible. Hoping/pining for a bunch of oft-injured players makes you feel better? They're mostly old, declining or seemingly injury-prone, so them coming back doesn't really do much to allay my concerns for both this season or going forward.

    The ref raging is hilarious, but come on...this defense is a big fat bag of rotted meat and broken bones. They couldn't stop WASHINGTON.

    Meanwhile it's rumored that Tom Ricketts figured out how to buy a bunch of peanuts with the $20 he found under the couch.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    I feel like any such rumors are just the internet version of UK doing Pee-Wee's "I say we let him go!" schtick.

    No kidding. This seemed like a really odd time to mock the guy for an opinion like that. He's a pitcher. And Almora is an oft-injured kid. Yeah, he COULD work out, but right now it's not like picking Wacha over him is some ridiculous idea.

    They're just going to loop this: TOPICAL!
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Doesn't matter, you guys. Don't beat yourselves up.

    Debt servicing could technically be considered part of the budget and push the total higher. While I'm not sure that still would make the total expenditures higher, since revenue also is down, maybe as a ratio it's higher. None of us have ever seen a MLB budget from top to bottom and few of us would even be equipped to understand it fully, so I don't think you can really say horsepoop in response. "All these documents are yours. The people's property, you pay for it! But because the Ricketts considers you children who might be too disturbed or distressed to face this reality, or because you might possibly lynch those involved, you cannot see these documents for another seventy-five years. I'm in my early forties, so I'll have shuffled off this mortal coil by then, but I'm already telling my eight-year-old son to keep himself physically fit, so that one glorious September morning, in the year 2038, he can walk into the Triangle Building across from Wrigley, and find out what the Ricketts and Sam Zell knew! They might even push it back then, hell it may become a generational affair, with questions passed down from father to son, mother to daughter, but someday, somewhere, somebody will find out the damn truth."

    Love the beard and love that he's been the Rays' bench coach. Give me Martinez or give me a landmine.

    Seems like a lot depends on the renovations. And the prospects. Right, and it's kinda freaky that I'm more confident in the latter playing out successfully before the former. Basically I think the Ricketts sold Theo on this job with a combo of rebuilding the farm system and the Cubs overhauling their finances and the stadium much as the Sox were able to do while Theo was there. I think it was presented as something that would be well underway at this point.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    A different kind of bad is still bad. Still pretty sure that Theo bolts after 5 years unless [expletive] works out damn near perfectly, because this money nonsense looks fuuuuuuuuucked for a while.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Seriously, the Cubs Convention should end up like the storming of the Bastille.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Holy [expletive]. The Cubs have terrible owners, you guys.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Alright, the WS' terrible ability to evaluate talent most of the time has me convinced that fat load status is a go. Or it better be, because him being awesome across town will suuuuuuuck.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Elias is basically the stereotypical Cardinal fan. Yep, he used to make creepy Youtube videos talking about the Cardinals like a [expletive] psycho. Plenty of overreactions to relatively meaningless losses, strange love affairs with gritty players like Eckstein and Aaron Miles, but the worst was his video he made after Edmonds signed with the Cubs. He eventually took the video (along with all the others he made) down, but someone posted a Desipio recap of the video on the last page. http://www.desipio.com/?p=1474 *SIGH*
