  1. No, he'll be in the Southern Hemisphere.
  2. They already have races. Hahahahahahaah! Excellent.
  3. I think compared to most other teams that have been around as long (or thereabouts) as the Cubs since they started playing at Wrigley they have a pretty boring history, which mostly stems from them having too many unremarkable or mediocre/bad players/teams. [expletive], even the few great players they've had in that time have been pretty boring.
  4. You're right; the years the Bears played there were pretty awesome.
  5. Why? He just says it's a dump (and it obviously is, especially for visiting teams), and is even self-deprecating in doing so. It's clearly in the context of "this place is a shitty ballpark and I'm a rich ballplayer saying so" instead of "oh, it's so utterly horrible for me to have to endure this misery." You fat crying babies. Everyone should point out how terrible it is.
  6. That is just as absurd a statement as the vehement anti-jumbotron crowd. It ads nothing. Oh, jersey; you and your clever puns.
  7. Because maybe he's a Billy Beane-like masochist.
  8. Wait, what? You think $150 million was going to be enough to offset all of the various costs apparently hindering the payroll?
  9. I'm pretty sure I'd assassinate Brian Wilson's character if the Cubs signed him.
  10. Well, they're not losing much since Wrigley is "facing" the wrong way for almost anyone in the park to see the only skyline in the city that matters.
  11. They've got a .373 win percentage. It's horrific. Nobody is arguing that last season wasn't horrible; what I'm pointing out is your hilariously moronic and obviously trolling notion that a FO should be on the hot seat after their first season. Unless you're talking about a GM who tried to pull a Marlins without owner approval that's just [expletive].
  12. It's gonna take awhile. 2015 could become 2016 next year and 2017 the year after that. Just close enough to keep some of the fans calm, far enough away to fend of accountability. God, you can't even be negative right; why would they bother riding that out? If this team is mediocre or sucks after 2015 I could easily see Theo or Hoyer or both quitting. Instead you have to go right back to your stupid, smelly "they want a [expletive] team for some fat reason I don't actually believe" nonsense. I'd imagine that they'd try plan B and do what big market GMs normally do before quitting. Even if not, if the team were bad/mediocre by 2015 and beyond, they'd still have their reputations and the fact that they at least didn't leave the next regime with a massive payroll to land them each another big money gig. If they just walked away from a mess of a team half way through their contract, it suspect that would be far worse their credibility and legacies. "Halfway?" Theo signed a 5-year-deal.
  13. Who, Russell? Len said he had pitched the last three games.
  14. This team is about to be 65-109 under their watch. The fact that they aren't scrambling to save their jobs show that holding off accountability is exactly what they are doing. Really? They should be "scrambling to save their jobs" two weeks into their second season? You're so transparently tedious.
  15. Now I want this tied to see them run out of pitchers.
  16. It's gonna take awhile. 2015 could become 2016 next year and 2017 the year after that. Just close enough to keep some of the fans calm, far enough away to fend of accountability. God, you can't even be negative right; why would they bother riding that out? If this team is mediocre or sucks after 2015 I could easily see Theo or Hoyer or both quitting. Instead you have to go right back to your stupid, smelly "they want a [expletive] team for some fat reason I don't actually believe" nonsense. I'll walk you through this. "2015 could become 2016 next year" That'd be 2014. "and 2017 the year after that" That'd be 2015. So if this team is still mediocre or sucks in 2015, no, I don't think they'll just walk away. As long as they keep the prospects moving slow enough (not that it isn't a good thing to do that), they can hold off accountability through 2015, I'd guess. "Holding off accountability" isn't a thing, you monstrous gorilla. If the team is stays garbage for 4-5 years after they've been here I see it much more likely they walk. "Holding off accountability" is what people scrambling to save their jobs are doing. These guys didn't come here with that kind of necessity.
  17. It's gonna take awhile. 2015 could become 2016 next year and 2017 the year after that. Just close enough to keep some of the fans calm, far enough away to fend of accountability. God, you can't even be negative right; why would they bother riding that out? If this team is mediocre or sucks after 2015 I could easily see Theo or Hoyer or both quitting. Instead you have to go right back to your stupid, smelly "they want a shitty team for some fat reason I don't actually believe" nonsense.
  18. One stupid [expletive] pitch to stupid [expletive] Hunter [expletive] Pence.
