  1. It's the last week in a meaningless season. Baker's only the #4 hitter because of all the call-ups playing today, so why not bring in DeWitt for an AB or two? I am apparently the only person that sees humor in that switch. I'll leave it alone. No, please don't.
  2. Garza basically dick-slapping Jersey in the face today. MOTIVATE HIM, GOONEY.
  3. Castro followed up a great rookie year with another nice performance. Garza.
  4. I remember lots of Reds fans showing up back in the day. They tended to be older and came in buses and were adorable.
  5. Gentlemen, hide your boners.
  6. Nah. Dipping his balls in that damn hot tub.
  7. Yeah, agreed. Though I found his Bears didn't earn the first TD shtick funny and odd. That was supposed to be tongue in cheek. Hard to tell tone in the written word I suppose. And I'm not sure how I was overly antagonistic after the game. The only thing I really commented on post game was to defend the assertion that somehow the Saints weren't any good, which I found odd considering they just beat up the Bears and nearly beat the Packers last week. Because a lot of the Bears fans here are Bears fans like they're Cubs fans; they love being miserable and talking about how miserable their team is and how miserable it is being a fan of their miserable team. If they concede that the Saints are a good team then they can't truly maximize their miserable-ness as they can by acting like the Bears lost to a bad team.
  8. Holy [expletive], yes. All Bears game threads should just have imb's post as the title.
  9. You can find the awful experience of yore in the Bears game threads now.
  10. Lopez is one one of those guys who you prefer get rocked because every time he has a decent outing, it brings us closer to the possibility of him being in rotation next year. All I know if he's in next years rotation with Cashner in the pen, well, that won't be cool. OK, now you're just making up things to worry about.
  11. "Political BS?" And a longing for the days of Meph? For [expletive]'s sake.
  12. Yeah, I haven't been to a game since opening day of 2010 and I live about 15 minutes away from Wrigley. Can't really say the motivation is there (though working two jobs for much of that time hasn't helped, either).
  13. They're dropping the prices bleacher seats. Likely not going to drop the other prices any time soon (if ever) until the expanded revenue from renovations/triangle building and related plans/TV network/expanded advertising comes in. And yes, there's plenty of "if's" for next season, hence why people are saying they COULD be contenders and not that they're a lock to do so. It's the same for them not contending, too.
  14. Yeah, some people keep forgetting how atrocious the defense has been. And this team still would have sucked. Nothing wrong with being positive, but thinking this team is only a couple of pieces away from contention isn't at all realistic. Actually, it is. Not "ideally" competitive, but it's certainly realistic they could be competitive next season in a division this weak. Even assuming they grab Fielder, Wilson, and re-sign Ramirez, (which is assuming a hell of a lot) that does nothing to address the defense or mediocre OF production. That team would also need to stay completely healthy as the farm isn't likely to provide us much help in the short term. Too many ifs. Yeah, might as well give up already.

  16. Only the Cobs I don't know about you, but I sure haven't seen any team waste more chances over an aggregate season. Stunning.
  17. Thats exactly why I hated Edmonds so much. I hated everything about him, well beyond just baseball, much like LaRussa. But I'm not saying I wouldnt want him on the team, I'd just not like him. LaRussa is a little different because managers don't have nearly the impact that players do (obviously). That said, if I could be promised a WS title if he was our manager, I'd welcome him with open arms....but still dislike him. Yep, I'd take the World Series no doubt but I really don't want to listen to him complain all the freaking time. Who, LaRussa or UMFan?
  18. Man, that year [expletive] sucked.
  19. Nice deflection, but we all know the truth.
  20. Is this the guy that hilariously hates Jeff Baker like he's the 2nd coming of Neifi?
