    Maybe if Sappelt hurled himself into the wall head-first at full speed and possibly killed himself, but probably not.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    I get that. It's not like Hairston is killing it either. Guys, all I'm saying is it would hurt absolutely nothing to let him play vs a lefty or 2. I just wanna see if we have a guy that could maybe play every day down the road. I get that, but this far into his career it's unlikely he's a diamond in the rough. You want to try and get the other guys going so they can contribute, and sitting them isn't going to help that.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Hairston would move from RF to CF in that situation. Do we really want Hairston in CF? As much of a brick [expletive]-house as he is I just assumed he could only man the corners passably at best.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Yes, Sappelt stinks, but isn't he playing CF? I don't think we want Schierholtz manning that spot.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Deep, man. Deep.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Well, likely because he's not very good against lefties. Might as well see if the other side of the platoon can get hot and let Schierholtz keep mashing against righties since he's likely to not do any better.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Gotta keep that lefty vs righty match up that so many people just love!!! Sappelt is garbage. I've seen enough of him. I don't care if he hits RH, LH, or with his feet. Platooning is a good idea. Platooning with Sappelt is not.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Jerks, probably. Remember when people flipped out over the Spider-Man ads on the bases? That was funny. Make the money, dammit.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Ewwwwww, Dave Sappelt starting.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Eh, some people get a boner over old timey organ music.

    And you find me incredibly hard to ignore. Ignoring things that bother you is not exactly your calling card. You're incredibly easy to ignore; it's simply far more fun to mock you.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    That's because you're some kind of weird, racist Asperger's monster.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Hasn't misspelled Lillibridge's name once.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Meh; I've found it pretty easy to ignore.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Note how he has no problem spelling the white guy's weird name just fine.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Jock Jams volumes 1, 2 and 4. Plus the absence of a JumboTron hasn't prevented Wrigley from blasting terrible music in recent years.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Maybe they can convince So Taguchi to come out of retirement, just to drive Kyle especially insane. Since Kyle is an enormous racist.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Your family's a dump.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    More Kyle racism.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    I mean, I had no idea that the really good Clemente bio I just finished was interesting because of the World Series.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Because by and large the history of baseball is about the history of the world series. Well, no, it's mostly because they've been bad and have had boring players. You really think most baseball books revolve around World Series stories?
  22. Sammy Sofa
    That was my point. He comes off as a spoiled, whiny B. I really don't think we should hold a telethon for the tough life of multi-million dollar athlete's and their tough life. You don't understand things.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Ow. Nice.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    We'll just have to disagree (especially since history-wise I personally find almost all of those teams more interesting than the Cubs); to me it makes sense why comprehensive baseball histories tend to have relatively few Cubs stories/historical figures.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Ryno was great and boring, and really only had 1 signature moment in Wrigley. But Wood, Prior, Sosa and the bulk of the 60's guys were entertaining enough. The level of meaningful history is certainly not what it should be for a team that has played in the same stadium in a major market that long. But it's hardly non-existent. It's hardly non-existent pretty much in that it just technically exists. I love history and I love baseball, but my favorite team just has a relatively pretty boring history when compared to basically all of the other similarly long-lasting teams. Part of that is how bad they've tended to be for nearly a century at Wrigley, but a big part of it is, as you touched on, is that a lot of these guys are pretty boring (and I'd include most of the 60's greats). Some great players and (mostly) nice guys, but snoozeville otherwise.
