    But I'm a 25-year-old powerlifter.

    Though the initial point is redundant to begin with since the Marlins are unlikely to even want Shark in the first place.

    We don't really have a prospect comparable to Maybin. Baez is close, but I think Maybin was a consensus top 10 prospect at the time he was traded. We certainly don't have a pitching prospect close to Andrew Miller. I would hate to give up Rizzo, but there's really no reason why anyone should be hesitant to give up any and all prospects for Stanton. That's essentially my thinking; the argument that Shark and Rizzo in the same deal is too much makes much more sense as opposed to arguing that any prospect pushes the deal over the line (which I don't think anyone was actually doing).

    We can stop with the stupidity of calling Stanton Pujols. It's hyperbole; calm down, spaz. Hyperbole can't be stupid? Spaz. Sweet, I broke gooney.

    You're going to be choking on so many waffles next season.

    Well, you shouldn't. Prospects have a wide range of value and the guys listed on this are pretty valuable. Two quality major leaguers plus two quality prospects is a very steep price to pay. Well, yeah, and the return is pretty damn valuable. And while I like Rizzo and Shark a lot, they've both managed close to one successful season each in their ideal roles. I'm not saying that this is the ideal package I'd want the Cubs to give up, but I don't think it's all that far off from being fair/what it takes.

    Which ones? There's no way trading Rizzo, Baez, Vizcaino and Samardzija for one player makes sense. Agreed. Not trying to sabotage the thread, but if we're going to trade the farm, wouldn't it make a bit more sense to trade for David Price (assuming Tampa makes him available after this season)? I think I'd rather have arguably the best pitcher in the game than Stanton. I'd be wary of trading the farm for an arm but I agree with Tim that the specific proposal he mentioned was outlandish. Why? I know Stanton has injury concerns and I don't follow the farm all that closely, but is Baez really that close to being a lock to succeeding? I tend to shrug off nearly any prospect in a trade for an established player, plus Vizcaino is coming back from surgery and if he does make there's a good chance it's in the bullpen as opposed to being a starter.

    Which ones? There's no way trading Rizzo, Baez, Vizcaino and Samardzija for one player makes sense. It sure as [expletive] does if you think you've got a Baby Pujols or Baby Cabrera on your hands. Half of the guys you listed are just prospects.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Which ones?

    You're trying to handwave away the things that have gone wrong by grouping them into this vague "everybody has bad stuff happen" misfortunes, but it's not working. Because you're stupidly trying to list them individually to make them sound crazy What? Who was arguing against that? Of course it CAN happen to anybody.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    YES. Sean Jensen confirming this. YESYES.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    I've already had a relative saying he wants Singletary. I momentarily blacked out after I heard that.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    This should be some fun speculation. Sad as it is to say, I'm going to guess Marshall was one of the participants. Then it's totally justified.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    YES.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    It's easy to ignore because it's not true. The Cubs didn't have some crazy calamity befall the team. They put an awful product on the field and got awful results. The things that went wrong was the whole trying to be bad thing that made them worse than they would have been if they tried to be good. This is really, really lazy of you.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Defensive guy, right?
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Though much more seriously: 10 concussions? Holy [expletive]. That's horrible.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Can we clone Thibs? That'd kinda be awesome. You want to keep flaming out fantastically in the playoffs due to an overworked team? Now is not the time, friendo.

    *Fidgets* *Twitches*

    Excellent. Watching the Bears to win the last two games but missing the playoffs and Lovie being fired was my desired outcome going into the final two weeks of the death spiral. Give me someone new and up and coming and much more offensive minded.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    I can't decide if that's more or less ridiculous than his post-touchdown celebrations.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    And ends with either a lot more or a dial tone. Thanks for clearing that up.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    I still thought Edmonds was a hilariously mockable tool when he was on the Cubs; I just appreciated his ridiculous performance as well. That said, Edmonds seemingly can't help how lame he is. Wilson could stop being a jackass jerkoff in a heartbeat.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Good.
