  1. You invoked His name.
  2. Guh.
  3. No, not at all. Just sucks to watch. I think people were expecting a big leap this year, and while there's still time, right now his OPS is 30 points below his rookie season. I feel pretty certain he'll bounce back and put up respectable numbers overall though. Why were people expecting a big leap this year without any kind of bad stretches? He's not inhuman.
  4. I mean, is anyone genuinely worried that he's regressing or something? That seems like it would be getting really worked up over nothing. Who seriously expected him to never have stretches like this?
  5. Well, I said right there that I was more heartbroken over how it effected my dad. But that was the year where I started following baseball and getting baseball cards and playing teeball and such and stuck with it ever since.
  6. Oh man, I haven't heard this yet. Have you heard this, or just anticipating it? Just anticipating it. It's inevitable that someone like Kaplan or Sullivan will bring it up if the White Sox keep winning.
  7. Oooh, yeah, I'm not sure if I would have made it. I was only 5, but I remember it clearly because that's when my dad basically decided to make me a Cubs fan. With how the team was doing he started getting me baseball cards and going over the box scores in the paper and we'd watch tapes of the games sent to us (we lived in Panama at the time). I just went all in because of how passionate my dad was over it and remember being so heartbroken when I saw how much it destroyed him with how it ended.
  8. The only thing that really bothers me about the White Sox having a winning season this year is the meatball response from Cubs fans/journalists who will look to Ventura as proof that the Cubs fucked up in not hiring Sandberg.
  9. I'm not worried; a player as young as he is with the trajectory he's had is bound to have some rough patches as he develops. The upside is that during this slump he's actually showing more patience than before. Eventually things will even out and he'll ideally take another step towards being the player we hope/expect him to be. This is where having the FO the Cubs have can be so critical; they set the tone and philosophy as to how players are to be developed, and I really think that what we're seeing right now are growing pains as he's coached in the post-Jaramillio era.
  10. Good point. Why can't people just behave?
  11. ENOUGH. THE NEXT ONE THAT POSTS IS BANNED FOR THREE YEARS.
  12. 1984 was my first year as a Cubs fan. Almost put me off for life.
  13. The [expletive]? Did gooney somehow take over both of your accounts?
  14. This dude loves Romo like the Bum loves cheese.
  15. So it's settled: a Cutler-hater and Romo-fanboy. MAKE A NOTE.
  16. Tell that to the guy screaming at the 6 year old that he was going to beat the [expletive] out of his dad last night at the White Sox redline stop last night. Wait, he was yelling at the kid and not the dad? That's...odd.
  17. He's gone. Seriously. There are too many teams competing right now, especially with the new wild card. Add a lot of pitcher injuries and not much competition on the market and it makes too much sense not to. Actually, there are very good reasons not to.
  18. Please don't trade Garza, Cubs.
  19. Whatever happens next, that first k was vintage Marmol.
