Probably. Whenever the Bears lose I enjoy that I can count on these threads to cheer me up at least a little.
-
Plus I think it's less the fault of "Obamacare" so much as a lot of companies have been looking for excuses to pull this kind of stuff back. -
THE MILK'S GONE BAD!!!!
-
Of course you will. Oh you're filled with confidence after that mighty offensive performance of 249 yards and 6 points? I'm sick of watching my team squander games offensively and look like the Jaguars on offense in big games. I thought Webb, Carimi and Louis played well along with Marshall. Everybody else sucked the big one. This 49ers defense is better then the one we faced yesterday. As much as it sucks when the Bears lose there's at least the consolation of watching you meltdown.

As has been ably pointed out, that's a flawed conclusion based on how the spend-crazy Dodgers have only existed for this last round of international FA signings, while the Cubs have had the same FO through both batches. So the Dodgers have actually pulled of what most were clamoring for and seemingly expecting when Soler and Cespedes and Darvish were being discussed; were the discussions here not centered around the Cubs getting at least 2 of 3? And now all of a sudden that's an unrealistic expectation?

NOOOOOOOOO, HE'S MORTAL.

Man, Kellen Davis stinks.
-
Daniel Manning, I'ma fight you.
-
Marshall, you magnificent sonuvabitch.
-
Edit this and wekse will kill you.
-
YEAH, JUST FEELS LIKE ONE OF THOSE GAMES, YOU SAD SACK MOTHER [expletive].
-
The ref was watching the entire damn thing.
-
NO, IT'S [expletive] NOT.
-
Can't we wish for a TE that's actually good instead of less bad?
-
Only tonight?
-
Maybe it's just me, but I'd like to see the Bears make the playoffs.
-
How could that possibly be just you.

Trade Castro?
Sammy Sofa replied to Iloveoldstyle's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
There shouldn't be a question as to whether or not to trade him at this point unless a team is offering you something insane. And you're just too hooked on the projections. Worrying that the 22-year-old won't go into beast mode because his age 22 season wasn't gangbusters seems...faulty. -

It's a real smorgasbord. Mainly though it's that I don't think half a season at age 22 has all that much impact as to whether he's HOF player or, laughably, Cabrera. I'm mostly amused by how much stock you seem to be placing in it. -

I can't; the projections are giving me the night terrors. -
Yes, we're talking about the accomplishment of being one of the most popular sports writers in America, which is a field of garbage, and that popularity is based out of his terrible writing, because most fans of sports writing are meatballs. I don't care how much money or fame he's made off of it; there's a guy somewhere who is the most successful portable toilet emptier, too. Whoopty [expletive] doo.

I agree on really regretting Cespedes (and Puig). Also, please point out anywhere I've blamed anything on the posting system. You haven't, but it continually comes up as a caveat when others have accused me of wanting to "sign everyone." Honestly, my tune would be completely different if they had only one more signing in Cespedes or even Puig. I'm not expecting a perfect track record; I'm just expecting/hoping for them to be able to get it done when it's most critical and most doable (Cespdes, and to a lesser extent, Puig). I'd be perfectly fine with them never getting a single blind bid so long as they don't get outdone by the [expletive] A's.
-
Again: wanting more success in an area is not automatically akin to "signing everyone." And Cespdes was the biggest miss, so you can't blame that one on blind bids or the Rangers and the Dodgers.

And the projections; my God, how it hurt the projections. -
I explained it on the previous page; Ryu is by no means a dealbreaker, but he is unfortunately indicative of a pattern of disappointment in an area (international FA signings) that is critical to the Cubs both improving in the short run and for the future. If you want to subtract the blind bids from that equation, fine; only one of those missed bids really hurts, but only ending up with Soler (as the only IFA singing of real import) thus far isn't a ringing success story. It's a frustrating narrative.
