  1. No. However, they were part of Hendry's philosophy of never cultivating the farm. The player development under Hendry was terrible and the prospects that were traded didn't pan out and overall were of a much lower quality then the top end of the Cubs' system now. While Hendry was GM the Cubs were the lowest spending team on amateur talent in all of baseball year after year which is why there was so little come up from the farm. How much of that was on Hendry and how much was due to ownership is up for debate. However, the fact remains that under Hendry's watch the farm system was horrible. Trading for good players isn't something one avoids; if anything you strive to have a better farm system in part to be able to do that more often. Trading for guys like Aramis and Lee aren't a knock against Hendry and didn't hinder the Cubs' ability to develop internally; they were just not good at selecting and developing talent. But those actual trades themselves were excellent moves.
  2. You will feel my death-glare until it works.
  3. Zero doubt the Bears win this; I hope you choke-barf on your fears.
  4. Sweet broadcast, Fox.
  5. Ponder and his gigantic dumb face are doomed.
  6. FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALSE.
  7. What the fudge is this nonsense.
  8. Forte is a big pile of man today.
  9. Wait, is Hendry trading for Aramis and Lee now considered a bad thing by some people for some reason? That doesn't make any sense.
  10. Which is why it's not worrying me all that much. The Bears are still going to blow these humps out by at least 2 TD. Thank you, Hester.
  11. So there's bean bags everywhere.
  12. That was the worst. BUT THAT WAS THE BEST!
  13. Black Unicorn in full effect today.
  14. LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCE.
  15. We need more posters in here; anyone casually observing is going to think the Bears are getting killed thanks to Soul.
  16. I like the way you work it, Cutler.
  17. Seeing as it's showing up now I'm guessing he thinks nobody is watching.
  18. Though its mention in Blue Velvet does justify its existence.
  19. PBR is a great beer in the adjunct grain class. It wins taste competitions over and over. I can see why people might not like it, but if one is comparing it to the Budweisers of the world there is no equal. I think some people don't like it because of the perception of the people who drink it. Hipster got on the bandwagon because it is a cheap beer that tastes good and wasn't massively marketed. Agreed on all counts. Buyer just has to be beware in places where hipsters have driven up the cost. But if you can find it in a small town for some $1.50 pint special on tap its a good buy. Ugh. Pabst wins awards in its shitty category, which is a category filled with terrible beers. Hipsters have nothing to do with my hating it; I hate it because it tastes like garbage and it makes me feel hung over with terrible beer farts before I'm even drunk, much less waking up the next day.
  20. How did I miss this sister. LINKS.
