    Wait, what? So they won't pay for past performance...and they also won't pay for unproven talent?
  2. Sammy Sofa
    Then they'll never sign a big name FA.

    Can't wait until dumbass Cubs fans are "welcoming" him with stupid Fidel/Che hats and and fake beards and fake cigars.

    ... for the reasons I stated. Getting rid of the DH achieves the same objectives. No, you flank steak; I want it for consistency AND because I like it more than the pitcher hitting.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    No way, expanding the bench would be totally just as good.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Thank goodness.

    This part isn't really true. The NL has better #7 and #8 hitters than the AL #8 and #9 hitters. Even when you compare it 7 and 8 to 7 and 8 it's close. The worst hitter besides an NL #9 hitter is an AL #9 hitter, and it's not particularly close. The NL does seem to put poor hitters in the #2 spot though. Here's last year OPS advantages: #1 spot- NL by 11 points #2-AL by 62 #3-NL by 12 #4-NL by 33 #5-AL by 22 #6-NL by 3 #7-AL by 9 #8-AL by 5 #9-AL by 164 Total: AL by 20 I was surprised to see from how much we talk about sluggers going to the AL that the NL led in both the 3 and 4 spot last year, and by a decently large margin in the 4 spot. Oh well. I'd still rather have the DH. And does this track back consistently?
  8. Sammy Sofa
    This. This is the main argument to me.

    That's a bit of a disingenuous comparison, wouldn't you say? Most minor leagues adopted the DH because they're developmental leagues where it's very beneficial to have the additional hitters in the lineup every day rather than a couple pitcher at bats. How is it disingenuous? I want the DH; pretty much everyone except the NL uses it. I really don't care about the details or they reasons why certain leagues have it...I just want consistency and I'm sick of my team playing at a needless disadvantage.

    I understand what Rob is saying and used to completely agree with that line of thinking, but you do have to admit it's pretty ludicrous that the NL exists as this bizarre bastion of "strategy" when pretty much every single other level of professional and amateur baseball has evolved past it (or at least wised up and have the option to use it). I guess they can join arms with the Japanese Central League and proudly march off of a cliff together or something. Plus I think it has a ripple effect and makes it more acceptable/tolerable to have too many shitty players out there because they're "just batting down by the pitcher's spot." Too often the 7-8 spots are just black holes of suck because of the damned #9 spot.

    It's a readily available solution to help easily make the Cubs a LOT better. Give it to me.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Because I'm envious of the teams that can even have the "problem" of juggling big hitters between DH and 1B. Lord, the NL is a dumbass dinosaur. Please heal it soon.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Desire for DH...rising...
  14. Sammy Sofa
    WHAT HE DID THAT NO WAY
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Nicely done Rob. Even if you forgot to mention my article on Fielder's projected value ;) Hence all of the praise.

    Slow down.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Does this not concern anyone else? Funny.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Is this dave's first one of these in 2012?

    Brady has been fantastic. It's just annoying the sheer number of football fans I know or hear who think that it just comes down to rings with these sorts of things. That said, at least Brady IS an excellent QB; Eli being the Manning with the most rings and providing fuel for such nonsense would be obscene.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Let's ask the dead guy.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Regardless of who wins, it's going to be a victorious QB unjustly rated above Peyton Manning by the meatballs.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Uhh... I guess his paper doesn't hold staff to a higher standard. That's a major league meltdown. Maybe he'd off himself in Candlestick.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    I assume he means that they let the pressure of the playoffs bother them and thus played significantly worse than they otherwise would have. Yep. Seems like a pretty redundant conclusion to take, but whatever.
