    No, it's OK, the worse they are the better they'll be when they're good. That's how it works, right?

    Fast moving storm system; I think it'll be gone by 12:30.

    What the hell does "edgy" have to do with anything?
  4. Sammy Sofa
    The Cubs already had crappy veterans. He's irrelevant.

    I give a [expletive] because "good clubhouse guy" is absolute mythological nonsense for idiots, and he's the symbol of management not even trying this year. That's a bit much. Baseball is like any other sport...if the last couple guys are similar in talent and cost of course teams are going to go with the ones who they feel are a better fit for their clubhouse and organization. Looking back, would anyone really want Z on this team? Nothing good would come of that. He wouldn't be happy, fans wouldn't be happy and his teammates may not be happy. I'd be happy. What would he have done, somehow make this team even worse?

    I thought that was the excuse for signing Kerry Wood.

    because he's flukishly putting up good numbers? what if dave sappelt had put up his line (which was probably just about as likely going into the season) while a decade younger and making league minimum? Well that hasn't happened, but if Sappelt was doing really well at Iowa and Reed was struggling, then Sappelt would've likely taken his spot/maybe Reed retires. I'm not really sure why I brought Reed up, other than to point out it was silly how much hatred the move received. I'll even agree with you that the move was pointless, but the anger over it was a tad silly. Heck, I'm not even a big Reed fan. Why is it "silly?" He's a mediocre player needlessly being paid too much money; people tend to dislike that.

    Tyler Colvin at Coors Field: .315 .359 .699 1.058 (80 PA) Tyler Colvin everywhere else: .274 .289 .384 .673 (77 PA)

    I seriously doubt most average Cubs fans even remember he exists. It would require dicks like Sullivan or Kaplan to lead the charge.

    in what way did it end up being a very good choice? a roster spot didn't need to be wasted on 35 year old gritty mcgritt. nor did we need to pay him $1.2 million. it was just a pointless signing and still is. Yes, this.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Yes, injury-plagued team; trade for the old, vastly overpaid "outfielder" who is this close to playing on one leg. Hell, you might even get Reed Johnson as a toss-in.

    Oh, [expletive], I meant to reply to bukie and not gooney. Now this is going to pointlessly go on for 5 pages. GOONEY: I HAVE MADE MY OPINION KNOWN, AS HAVE YOU. STAND DOWN.

    Well I think it's pretty obvious he is going to need a break at some point this season. It's unrealistic to think he was ever going to make 30+ starts this year for 200+ innings, given his history. So if he is going to need a break, why not give it to him while he's in the middle of pitching like crap? Because he ideally needs to work through pitching like crap. Of course he's not going to have a starter's full workload this season; it just seems rather subjective to either give him a break now or later. I mean, he needs to work through this kind of stuff at some point if he's expected to stick.

    It's like they saw everyone else going Cuban-crazy so they just went insane at the next one to become available.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Why wouldn't you let him "clear his head" by just starting? What's to lose besides meaningless games?
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Man, you are just not gonna let the idea of the crap sandwich die, are you?
  17. Sammy Sofa
    So this is the blurb under the headline in a Yahoo story about Chris Sale: Really? "Coddled?" Go [expletive] yourself.

    Hairston has such a 'roided-out, pro wrestler look going on with his head/face.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Is that what happened ?? Pat & Keith never mentioned that ! It wasn't that blatant. Kinda grazed him with his glove when he threw his hands up in disgust. Oh, it was blatant. He was poking him with his glove; basically like you would if you were grabbing someone's arm as you were talking to them.

    My definition of a ton must be different. The last few years I've been there were perhaps 200 people in line by the time they opened the gates. Still quite a few but a far cry from the mid-00s. It's typically down the block, especially on weekends.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    The bleachers open up two hours before the game, and yes, there's usually a ton of people lining up.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    What the [expletive] is this nonsense?
