He's already the five best pitchers of all time.

Barney, please get on so Rizzo can fix everything. -
Yes, that too, which extends beyond the reaction of the fanbase and ends up making the local media even more insufferable, especially with the Cubs in rebuilding mode. Between "well, THEY didn't have to rebuild" and "ooooh, guess you should have hired Sandberg; look how great Ventura worked out" you've got storylines that are just wretched and massively meatball-y.

Jeez. Man up and realize that that franchise isn't even on our level and thinks about it every single day. They're all LOOK AT ME because they're the neglected red-headed step child. It's just annoying. Here's as basic as I can make it: it's infinitely preferable for nearly any other team to win besides the White Sox. Seeing as there's absolutely zero upside to them winning, I see no reason to be dissuaded from this.
-
No, they lost because Castillo couldn't keep it in his pants and just put the ball in play.
-
Annoying way to lose.
-
OK? So then it doesn't matter who wins.
-
Kind of admire the ump for not tossing him. Some umps would toss you for just looking at you a funny. Yeah, but this was a player bumping him, and pretty obviously intentionally, too.
-
How the hell was he not tossed? Though the ump's face in the replay is pretty hysterical.
-
Barney = beast.
-
I don't know about that guy and his weirdo fear stuff, but yeah, they can be annoying.
-
No kidding; he was trying to crank everything out into the streets.
-
Bring us the Beef.

Except it's nothing like that since Wisconsin is Wisconsin and this is [expletive] Chicago. It's not like I live some hermetically sealed life on the upper northside around Wrigleyville like some kind of cracker-ass cracker. Another White Sox WS would be awwwwwful.

[expletive], JACKSON.

How or why? His BABIP is only .020 off his career average. The rest of his other numbers are all inline with his career numbers (LD, GB, FB, HR/FB percentages) are within 1% +/- . The only thing he's doing more than 1% better than his career numbers is walking about 4% more than usual 12.5 v. 8.6. He is what he is. An okay backup option whose gonna hit somewhere between .220-.250 have an OBP around .300 and SLG around .350. Could've fooled me. Another clutch walk in a big spot. What the what? You keep acting like you're pointing out things that can't be tracked. Do your damn homework.
-
How the hell do you figure that? His at-bats are always fantastic. He has a really good eye and drives the ball to the opposite field consistently. Those are things his numbers can show.
-
I care because I live in Chicago and I can't stand cocky White Sox fans. Plus the White Sox suck.
-
Neither man nor beast can strike out Darwin Barney.
-
How the hell do you figure that?
-
Come on, nobody has said "anyone but the Cardinals...and the White Sox?"

http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2012/09/jeff_fisher_get_off_jay_cutler.html I am glad someone said that. I agree with UMF, this whole thing is ridiculous. My favorite thing I saw this week was the CBS pregame show. They had Marino and Cowher discussing how Jay Cutler needs to change and it was wrong of him to do what he did. While Marino is speaking, the CBS producers cut to video of him (Marino) tearing into teammates on the sideline back when he played... then a video of him tearing into two assistant coaches on the sideline. Every quarterback does this. Brady, Manning, etc. Marino was famous for it--except when they do it, it is totally acceptable. I don't understand why Cutler is such a lightning rod for criticism. Pretty sure Marino wasn't running for his life in those games, also. Dan Marino should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell.

I like all the 9/11 Truther comments.

Trading Soriano
Sammy Sofa replied to ctcf's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Oh, you mean like every trade ever? Thanks for clarifying. But every trade ever hasn't involved eating somewhere between 25-35MM worth of salary and a player who will be 37 years old next season. So yeah, it's likely that our side will be asking for a significant player return to make it worthwhile and the other side to be cautious about what they give up regardless of how much money is being absorbed. You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? -
See, the joke is that Germano is not a very good pitcher who gives up lots of home runs, except when he doesn't in which case he is a pitcher who does not give up lots of home runs. It's quite the gasser!
