    AND NOW HE'S ON A TURKEY SAFARI WHEN HE NEEDS TO ANSWER FOR THIS.

    STEP BACK FROM THE LEDGE, TIM.

    So if we ignore the worst part of his season, his season looks better? I will never get tired of disliking these types of arguments. His season is his season. Tacking on his postseason numbers to show how close he got to recovering from the slump makes sense to me. Parsing out his pre-April 11 numbers does not. Kyle, we're talking about the first 10 games here. Pujols played in 147 games during the regular season. It's not like anyone is suggesting that you "ignore" half of his season or something ridiculous.

    Terrorism.

    All depends on what he's getting each of those eight years. Could the up front money indicate that the per year salary will be in the lower range?

    A headline on deadspin this morning is: "For Some Bizarre Reason, A Jay Cutler Injury Is Shocking News" There will be a perception of Cutler as soft. I guess I'm looking at this from the perspective of a Bears fan, so yeah, I guess non-Bears fan aren't going to pay as much attention to them as I do, but I had no idea Cutler being easily injured was a "thing." They're acting like last year was his rookie season or something. Cutler being durable was a thing, but then came the concussion, knee and now thumb. It will become a thing. So dumb. "QUARTERBACK SACKED AN INSANE AMOUNT OF TIMES! UNRELATED: IS EASILY INJURED!"

    Why the [expletive] do you want to see more from Colvin? We know what he's worth.

    Even the meatballs won't go with that, will they? It's not like he's dealing with chronic, nagging injuries. He came back from last season no problem and this is just his thumb. Are even the meatballs THAT dumb? I'm sure some will. If this season goes down the tubes, they will harp on Cutler being fragile. This is just far out of my scope of reasoning that it blows my mind; it's like the "he's soft" talk. The guy has had the absolute [expletive] kicked out of him since he's come here and all he's ended up with is a relatively minor knee injury, a concussion and a broken thumb (all while playing with diabetes) and there are people who think he's fragile? If he was actually fragile he'd have been crippled or dead a while ago.

    Also: The Rapist has a finger for a thumb? [expletive] gross.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Well [expletive].

    Why would it be a "throw away year?"

    What play was it? That's so odd because everyone else is saying it was on the int return and it kinda looks like it if you watch the replay. We're they reporting as fact or just speculating on when it might have occurred? If that is when he injured it, I definitely makes me wonder why he can't play. He made some really nice throws in the 2nd half, which was his better and more accurate half of throwing the ball. I'm sure adrenaline helped mask the pain, but shouldn't be enough to overcome that sort of injury. No didn't say it as a fact, but they showed him make a throw, get hit on his thumb and then look down and start flexing it. Probably a combination of the two. That thumb got rocked pretty hard on the interception return, so if he did hurt it earlier that just sealed the deal.

    You're really doing this.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Holy [expletive], that's terrifying.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    As opposed to all of those times you're so cocky and confident over sports and, well, life.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    So long as the players don't murder each other I'm pretty much set on worrying about discipline.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Except none of the things are great. Guh?
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Maybe.

    Yeah, that "cowboy up" team wasn't really a tight run ship by any standard. There are all kinds of team cultures that can win. I've said it before and I'll say it again; it was only with this last season that suddenly they went from being lovable drunken idiots to "EVERYTHING IS OUT OF CONTROL!!!!"

    I really want to be in a fantasy baseball league with davearm2.

    Again, I'm trying to frame the argument so we can get to the bottom of which is more important to folks -- fielding the best team possible in 2012, or building for the future. If you consider that inexplicable and absurd, then feel free to bow out of the discussion. Yes, we know how you're trying to frame this; that's the point. It's not an either/or proposition. The Cubs can do both and should do both and I want them to do both. So you'd trade Marmol for Hernandez. Thanks, that's very helpful to know. Keep flailing, pal.
