    Why the [expletive] had I been thinking Danks was 30?

    That would be best case scenario. Considering we'd have him for his ages 33-35 seasons, my point is he may well decline from the 3.4 or so WAR player he's been. Even if he declines some, he becomes not close to worth what he'd get. Even if he ages well, he probably will still decline to some degree. If we were getting a 29 or 30 year old Buerhle, I might change my mind. But a 33 year old Buerhle isn't very enticing. So you don't have the same concern about paying Wilson much more than Buehrle for those same 33-35 seasons and beyond? I understand he has more room to fall in order to be average. I also understand that he doesn't have as many pitches on that arm, but he could become a huge burden at the end of his contract. He is going to command a salary that you can't afford to have him fall back a whole lot. The big difference is that Wilson has been a starter for a much shorter period of time than Buerhle. Buerhle has pitched just under 2500 innings (Just over 2000 when he finished up his age 30 season like Wilson is). CJ Wilson has thrown just over 700 innings. There's a LOT less wear and tear on Wilson's body. That said, I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to Buerhle if he could be had for the right price and number of years. He's going to be declining, but some of that might be offset by a switch to the NL.

    I just think the question posed by the title of this thread is shortsighted; it's not an either/or option to be all in for 2012 or just "giving up" as a part of a rebuilding process. The Cubs can be, as most have pointed out, competitive next year without shooting for the moon and going with a "win now" approach. In this division being competitive next season can mean winning 85 games. That would be a huge step in the right direction.

    I'm all for the Mike Maddux idea, just out of the hope of finally proving that there is no Mike Maddux and it's just Greg with a really shitty mustache.

    I hope they go nuts. No problem with more ads, a jumbotron, the renovations, starting their own TV network...DO IT ALL.

    he doesn't say "well i think most hispanic guys are lazy and don't care" since he'd obviously get fired, but curiously his whipping boys all happen to be latin american and he seems to criticize all of them for lack of hustle, leadership and effort. Seems like a pretty racist observation on your part. Your telling me Kaplan has never criticized a "white player"? I don't remember him liking Todd Hundley very much. He didn't give Prior any grief for being injured all of the time? Kaplan's complaints about hustle, leadership, and effort are pretty much echoed by all of the media. How was that possibly "racist" on Truffle's part? Please, go ahead and explain.

    Guy pointlessly compares Fielder/Pujols to Soriano for the billionth time. Somewhere a baby explodes.

    I really hope he doesn't run out of rockets.

    In this age of evil rich people it's refreshing to have one on the side of justice and good. He's like the baseball Batman.

    I'm pretty sure he'd rip on a white guy if he turned a double into a single by standing and watching it go off the wall. Nah. He'd just turn it into a criticism of the Cubs overall.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, except for all of those times where I did, you mook. Jesus Christ, C.C. lecturing people for not admitting they were wrong or that they're not totally sure of what they're talking about. Next he's going to be chastising someone for spending too much money and being creepily obsessed with material things.

    Most people who are racist are racist without even realizing it.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Ugh, you're somehow even outdoing O_O.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    That's not sad; it's the fan equivalent of finding out someone you're kind of friends with is a douchebag because they go nuts and start being a racist on Facebook. This will help clarify even more who should be shunned and mocked.

    Shut up, Kyle. This is Tree's moment.

    Line up for the beatings, kids.

    SNORE. This is the era of being bold and brassy.

    Who was that [expletive] going on about the safari here? Was it Godzillavs.KingKong? Sounds like something he would do. Let's wail on him just to be safe.

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. IF THERE'S ANYONE ELSE GREAT OUT THERE THEN RICKETTS WILL HAVE THEM AND THEN FEAST ON THE LAMENTATION OF THEIR WOMEN.

    How much more impressive are CJ's numbers based on Arlington arguably having the most hitter-friendly park in MLB? I suppose that all depends on whether he's more of a FB pitcher or a GB pitcher. I know little to nothing about him other than the fact that he's pretty awesome at exercise/nutrition. Same here. I'm too drunk on awesomeness to worry about the details.

    Honestly, I really don't care because I have almost total faith that the new FO will put someone in there who they can work with and isn't a monster from a dank bog like Dusty. Most managers aren't THAT bad, so hell, I wouldn't even care if they wanted Sandberg. The Boy Wonder Boner Trifecta runs the show.

    The shitty playoffs also gives us the added bonus of freaking out the meatballs.
