  1. Darwin Barney now has more home runs on the year than Castro, increasing his SLG advantage even more.
  2. He was just a li'l squirt back then.
  3. Wow, this is an impressive amount of self-awareness, and an astute evaluation of Navarro and Gregg. Is this a new day for Little Lor-... Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. So close.
  4. I'm planning on taking the supersexycyborgspy exam, but I hope I don't lose focus while planning for my move to Mars. And the Cubs somethingsomethingsomething.
  5. Petition to not show games from when they were good ever again.
  6. Petition to change the thread title to "What terminal disease does Starlin Castro have?" because he's clearly dying.
  7. Joe Cocker sucks, like, eighteen kinds of ass, and that song especially.
  8. Basically just how everyone is hoping and praying that that's what's going on with Castro, because God help them otherwise.
  9. Yes. Unremarkable outside of saying people should blame the FO for team talent deficiencies and not the manager.
  10. How's your doom boner, half mast? Inappropriate use of doom boner; Castro truly sucks this year.
  11. Why would anyone go to the trouble of faking most of the [expletive] that's faked on the internet? It looks like the ball slows down when it passes his head before speeding back up.
  12. That's gotta be fake. Got it from here: http://www.sbnation.com/2013/6/19/4445202/gif-tournament-iv-scott-feldman-vs-david-ross Still think it's fake; guys getting drilled in the head usually don't even have time to react, yet he has time for a reaction like that and it's that close to him?
  13. That's gotta be fake.
  14. The future's so bright I gotta wear shades...to hide the tears.
  15. About time. No kidding. Beane with money...yowza.
  16. Though his site's layout has somehow grown even more ugly.
  17. I don't understand this perspective. Maximize your chances with what you have. This team is a bad team, yes, but what correct management of the pen, the Cubs probably have at least 3-4 more wins. It's not like managers have a shelf life where we'd be wasting their prime. But why fire him over it? His bullpen management annoys the piss out of me, but you'd think it's the kind of glaringly obvious thing that the people above him could point out or just flat out tell him not to do. I know they have to walk a fine line and not be seen as an overbearing FO stepping on the manager, but there has to be a way.
  18. Well, no; he didn't put him into a high leverage spot.
  19. That or they're just making him trot him out there in an attempt to salvage any value or something, since there's not really anything to lose. I mean, there's just no other way to explain how he keeps getting chances to [expletive] up in spectacular fashion. It's not just his misuse of Marmol that's the issue; he has consistently made questionable or obviously bad pitching decisions that have cost this team way, way more losses than they should have right now. He's managed to make a bad bullpen even worse.
  20. I wish it was more comforting that my "HE SUCKS UNDER PRESSURE" hunch was right. Just make him go awaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
