    This is just getting beyond absurd with Stewart lining out.

    Plus he's showing Arroyo how to not wear long hair like an asshat.

    Clearly sustainable.

    The [expletive]? Why should he?
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Hahahahahahahaaah!

    It's like everyone's racist grandfather; you know he's awful and wrong but he's so damn old and set in his ways that after a while it just ends up as "what's the [expletive] point?"

    It's the uncle I was just talking to yesterday, who thinks Darwin Barney is the pinnacle of "what the Cubs need more of" and who still bemoans the loss of Theriot. What do you do in those conversations? I used to get all riled up and want to argue when I was younger. Now I'm just all like, "Heh. Yea. How about that." Basically. He's of the ilk that loves to jokingly rub it in when a player he thinks I "hate" has a good game or a good stretch or even turns out to be generally productive, like I'm going to be furious that someone is playing well for the Cubs (which is what he does; basically any time Soriano does something not horrible he acts like he's been stabbed in the dick). There's really not much you can do that won't escalate to an argument so I just roll with it and let him keep providing me with choice free tickets.

    BRING BACK HENDRY I agree with Garza and Hamels. As for Dempster, I don't see him going as team friendly as you'd think. He's going to be 35 tomorrow, and a strong season could net him a 2/20 or even 2/24 contract. Sounds like a good price for him, but assuming we signed Hamels and extended Garza, I'd prefer spend that money elsewhere. A rotation starting with Hamels, Garza, Shark, and then 4-5 could be between McNutt, Wood, and Volstad. Then I think we could contend, but I'd love to add another bat. Maybe Upton or Ethier for RF making DeJesus a 4th OF and LaHair insurance plan or trade chip. Just say "no" to Ethier. He's going to cost way too much.

    There's almost always a lot of maybe's and if's.

    That's not what anyone was saying you dolt. We were discussing what the poster said a page ago and said that is an unlikely situation. That is all. Baseball is practically nothing but a question of "if's" given the sheer amount of failure that dominates even the best players. If you needlessly oversimplify it like that then you've effectively turned every situation/scenario that presents possible success as an unlikely one. There's a vast number of possibilities that could occur to make the Cubs competitive next year, and the situation being discussed (a big market team signing a big FA, two highly touted prospects actually contributing, two good young players staying good) is pretty low on the totem pole of unrealistic scenarios. I mean, if the crux is your argument is that there are simply too many things that have to go right for the Cubs to succeed next year, fine, that makes more sense than just dismissing offhand a very realistic handful of developments as unlikely.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    What's the rush to do that?
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Yup, that's all they need to be competitive next year. It's science. Good wagon to hitch your horse to, C.C..
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Right.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Idiot. The sad thing is is that you really seem to think it matters whether we're right or wrong about this stuff.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    There's nothing to "cover," you loon.

    Wow, that gif is outstanding. That kid in the front is just dominating.
