  1. You wouldn't be surprised to see them sign the 39-year-old Manny Ramirez who still has to serve a 50-game suspension.
  2. I love that that video linked me to this one: http://youtu.be/2_b9TCojRis
  3. But then Funk is still broadcasting.
  4. Read it again and report back.
  5. yea he's annoying/obnoxious, but at least he isn't loathsome like funk is. Ok, I get why people would find King obnoxious, but why is funk "Loathsome"? Funk rarely has an idea of what's going on, constantly has the score wrong, his facts wrong or the players wrong, and frequently just makes things up to be heard. He makes Stacey King look like a smart analyst and on top of things. Yeah, Stacey can be a ridiculous homer because he's there for that kind of [expletive]. Funk is supposed to be the professional, but he's awful. He's a homer, he's bad at doing play by play and he has a really creepy voice.
  6. You completely missed the point of Truffle's post.
  7. That's different than "whatever they can get," which is what Truffle said.
  8. I will not stand for slander of the the most magnificently horrible homer in sports.
  9. then call me ignorant because cutler throwing was the key the whole time and remains the key. Without cutler they can't do anything, regardless of forte or no forte Yuuuuuuuuuuuup.
  10. WHAT THE I DON'T EVEN
  11. [expletive] yessssssssssssssssssssss.
  12. Noah is [expletive] horrible.
  13. I think they've been working him at third. EDIT: I thought I heard that but tried to look it up and couldn't find anything. Is it defense keeping him from staying at catcher? I thought it was trouble keeping the weight down. Hell, I wouldn't want him at catcher regardless. this was the bp scouting report last offseason. i haven't heard much about his weight being an issue. Maybe it's just his size, period.

  15. Uh, we only tolerate teensy-tiny salaries around here, pal.
  16. BUT HIS NAME IS SO CLOSE TO BEING DUMPSTER.
  17. No, it wasn't. The closest Hendry came to doling out a contract like that was Soriano's. Soriano's best single-season WAR just barely edges out Pujols' worst. The rest aren't even close.
  18. There's nothing wrong with people being negative over a bad season. I've said I have confidence in the FO if they do decide to completely rebuild and it takes 2-3 seasons, but it's not going to be fun in the meantime and the optimism of how it could play out doesn't exactly make it palatable while they're wallowing in crap.
  19. gooney killing it with this one.
  20. Yeah, the old "didn't have a 2nd QB issue" was always hanging over his head. Hahahahahaah!
  21. Why? Most people don't want to pay to watch crappy baseball. We HAVE been watching crappy baseball, and I for one had next to zero hope that things would get any better anytime soon. Maybe at best the Cubs might could win a Wildcard one year, get swept, then back to sucking for a few years. If attendance drops noticeably this year then yes, we stinks as a fanbase. We got the front office we almost universally were hoping to get, and he seems to have an actual plan on how to build a franchise. You might not agree with it, but he knows what he's doing. I for one will watch to see how this complete shift in philosophy plays out. If we don't tune in if the Cubs suck in YEAR FREAKING ONE, then I think that's terribly short sighted and BS. Why? The Cubs have the highest ticket prices in baseball. Why should anyone feel obligated to shell out for that if the product is garbage? Hey, great, they want to build for the future; I'll actually pay to watch them in the future as well, but not now if the team is bad. If someone wants to go, good for them, but you shouldn't begrudge people if they don't want to pay while the team sucks.
