    So tedious.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, I got a tingly feeling with that one. Len is the best. Alright, Cubs...WIN THIS FOR TREE.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Just talk a walk, idiots.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    MAN, this offense is depressing.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Hahahahah! Villanueva is a boss.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, wow Oh, God, Marmol warming. He's actually been good, so don't jinx it!
  8. Sammy Sofa
    The 'stache is pleased.

    It's like Ransom heard UMFan and got super pissed.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    But I can't understand why anyone would like Hawk Harrelson Nobody likes Hawk; it's a question of who sucks more.

    Some people were. Plenty weren't. I think even the biggest supporters of building "the right way" were pretty iffy on being a bad team in 2014. Right; even most of the people accepting that 2012 "had" to be terrible seemed to be talking like there would be clear improvement in 2013 on the path to them actually being competitive in 2014. Anyone saying they were expecting/fine with/welcoming 2-3 years of terrible baseball are either lying or masochists.

    Come on. Hey, I just really, really hate that show.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, but: "by cracky."
  16. Sammy Sofa
    I'm torn; who am I supposed to root for in this clash of the shitty titans?
  17. Sammy Sofa
    The only weapon he had was money. Yeah, man, "only" money. And ditto what Jersey said to the rest of the nonsense.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    The COMING season. The front page is smart enough to pretend like this monstrosity of a team ever got off the ground.

    Depends if Ricketts continues to do a Frank McCourt impersonation Eh, we have 30 million in pending free agents who either haven't played an inning this year(Baker, Garza) or have not exactly provided difficult to replace production(Feldman, Marmol). They can likely add two 8 figure salaries, extend one of Rizzo or Samardzija, and take care of any other increases(the largest non-arbitration increase is 1 million, to Soler) without moving the total payroll at all. I'm worried he's going to drop it further. Me too. Honestly, my concern is more with the Ricketts than the FO in thinking that the former is in more over their heads than they were anticipating.

    Daryle Ward will always be cool for that home run in Pittsburgh. Anyone that disagrees can go belly flop on a landmine.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Well, firing or retaining Sveum really won't make a difference in that regard.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Law didn't say what you said.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, as emphatic as that "nope" was it really doesn't stack up.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Well, yeah, they have to because they've basically created a self-fulfilling prophecy.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Right, a lot of the excitement stemmed from the idea that Theo was going to have all of the weapons of a big market team at his disposal. Some of what got in the way was just shitty "luck"/timing, like the new CBA. Pretty much everyone should have understood that what he took over in Boston and what he was getting in Chicago were very different situations, but the hope/expectation was that they wouldn't go careening face-first into the bottom while trying to right the ship, and that the Cubs as a whole are seemingly stuck in neutral outside of the draft and (hopefully) IFA for a variety of reasons is really, really frustrating and disappointing.
