Re: Games in which the Cubs are not playing
Sammy Sofa replied to El Duderino's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
[expletive], Kemp is killing me. I was convinced that the Dodgers' financial woes were going to lead to him hitting the FA market. -

What the [expletive] is a "Squatch?" -
what the hell? When he played, Chris Williams was the only O-lineman that was better that league average on the Bears. I wish I could go back to individual weeks on Football Outsiders to show the numbers up to the week he got hurt. He was actually one of the better players at his position last year. Simply put, he was having a breakout season before he got hurt. Yeah, Theo REALLY needs to change his name.
-
Yeah, I didn't take it as such; I totally agree with the idea that all it takes is getting into the postseason. I thought it was silly that the guy thought that the Cubs being able to make the playoffs and being able to win the WS were two separate things.

The Cubs could realistically be playoff-competitive next year. Declaring when they'll be "competing for a World Series" like that's an exact science seems like a faulty justification to move a guy they should only trade if they get an amazing haul in return. And he'll be 30 for the 2014 season.
-
Explain.
-
Hey, lay off the guy.
-
I'm ready to concede on Wood, but I still think Sappelt>Soriano. Talk about damning with faint praise.
-
It's funny how much Kyle is overcompensating. He made up his ridiculous support for Wood and Sappelt and now he's acting like someone else did the same for Stewart.
-
Outstanding.
-
I know; I remember that one promising kid, Mickey Jordan or something, fell in front of a bus just after getting drafted. WHEN?!?!?
-
I knew that; I just was amused how a couple of those posts made it sound like Miami has some kind of amazing, storied tradition of winning that puts Chicago to shame.

Seconded I'm sick of this f**king sh*t, cruel or not, I'd like to see Miami get f**ked over a barrel in a similar manner. Yes, to contrast with the city of Miami's long and illustrious history of sports triumphs. Between The U, the Dolphins, Marlins, and Heat they've done just fine. So like Chicago.
-
Oh, I didn't know it was official. Good to know.

So who catches if Castillo gets a hammy? Probably Soto.
-
Hooray, a sane person in this thread. But nobody can deny that Castillo should be getting substantial playing time if he's going to be here. Yes, everyone can and should "deny" it if he's only up here to cover a DL stint. Soto's likely not long for this team (in the big picture sense) and Castillo will get plenty of starts once he's gone. He's not "wasting away" playing as a backup while Clevenger is injured.
-
There's no reason Castillo should be getting more starts than Soto right now.
-
emery likes his feet Rex Ryan-style?
-
Really wish Dugout 1.0 was still around for this idea.

Why the sarcasm? I'm not Peter Gamons. Just yakkin' on a forum. I get that you NSBB old timers don't like rookies, or speculating on the possibility that something GOOD could happen. I'll try to be more negative in the future. He's saying there's a designated forum to discuss Cubs games and series so that people don't clutter up the rest of the message board with discussion about those games or series. You know, since there's an entire board dedicated to it and all. Is that what he's saying? You could have fooled me. And sorry, I see none of this "clutter" you speak of. Just tell me where to post speculation on an upcoming series and I will be happy to go there. viewtopic.php?f=26&t=60830

Does he have to fall of a cliff for this to be a terrible contract? He doesn't have to pull a soriano. If he's merely above average for his position for 6-8 years of the contract, was it a bad deal? For it to be terrible? Yes. I mean, you can declare this to be a "bad deal" pretty much regardless of what he actually puts up because it was essentially impossible for him to be worth all of the money/years regardless of this slow start. The Angels obviously would have been aware of that. Singing him goes beyond just stacking his performance vs. his contract. Right. But the expectation is he's at least very good from the start. I don't think the angels are banking on him being worth $25m in 10 years. Well, yeah, but we're still way too early to do anything like writing this off as a bust. As last year showed, a "different" Pujols can still be a very, very productive Pujols.
