    Good.

    I really think this is Kaplan. You can smell the enraged flopsweat through the message board.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    YOU LOOK LIKE A DONG.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Holy [expletive]. PLEASE BE KAPLAN.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    And hey, look, we've found Kaplan's one fan.

    I have seen the term thrown around by a select few on this board with regards to Cubs fans in general. Pretty broad brush to paint with, no? And this has nothing to do with Kaplan. And if Kaplan was a racist like some on this board toe the line on, what the hell is he posing with a (gulp) Pujols jersey for? Because he's not some overt Klan member; he just lets the inherent racism of our society color his opinions of players he doesn't like. He despised Todd Hundley. Of course, he was hispanic, so you might be on to something. I'll make this as clear as I can: Kaplan's "racism" stems from his repeated fallback to stereotypical criticisms of non-white players (lazy, doesn't care, gives up, etc.).

    Again, we're talking about a decade here. The "waiting/assuming something would be/had been done" line of thought doesn't fly at all.

    It's not a "bad contract" for the duration of the contract, hence the advantage when a team can take the hit of the last couple of years after reaping the benefits of the good years.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Either player is going to get the biggest contract in Cubs history. It'd be the biggest "bet" the team has ever made. And? Any big contract is a gamble.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Why do you care if anyone calls Kaplan a racist?
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Slave-owners loved [expletive] their slaves.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Who is talking about "betting their chips" on either player? They'd be a part of going forward, not what the team is hinging their future on. Or are you just talking about "betting" whether either will be productive enough to justify signing them?
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Nobody tell dave the things that made the Red Sox clubhouse so harmonious during Theo's tenure there.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    I guess, though high profile kidnappings are hardly rare.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Kidnappings in Central and South America? Holy [expletive], yes.

    The only that makes sense to me is if he was completely oblivious to what was going on. At the very least he knew something "improper" occurred between Sandusky and a young boy on campus, so just that Sandusky was able to return to the campus again and again shows, to me, that his intentions were nowhere near doing the right thing. Unless you're arguing that he basically completely in the dark outside of that one occurrence it rings ridiculously hollow to try and play the "well, we don't know his intentions" card. At the very least his intentions were to continue to allow a known child abuser to use the program and the campus to facilitate interaction with young men and boys. Unless, of course, Sandusky only showed up when Joe wasn't around and everyone was nice enough to not tell him about it.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    We sure as [expletive] can figure out what his intentions weren't. But who cares? Regardless of his intentions, the results were the same. Uh, I "care" because his disinterest in preventing his football program being used as a staging ground for child rape seems pretty monstrous.

    I have little doubt they'll spend money when they need/want to. I really don't think Theo, Hoyer and McLeod would have all come here if part of the plan was to effectively cap the Cubs payroll as it stands or barely increase it.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    His intentions over the last decade+ have apparently been something other than stopping his former coach from using the school as part of his rape-spree.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    You really don't think the Cubs can or will be able to swing a $150+ million payroll? Or one around $170 million? Why not? I don't know what the Ricketts family's plans are, but $170 million is a pretty large jump from what it is now, especially if they want to spend a lot in the draft. They're a family with a ton of money with a major market team that makes a ton of money. I don't think the payroll increasing between $30-$60 million is all that unlikely.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Alright, he just shot to the top of the list for me.
