  1. Valverde is hilarious. I really wish the game had more celebrations like this. And yeah, it's [expletive] that hitters can't show off.
  2. Is WSR talking about a different Phil Humber?
  3. Who gives a [expletive]? As bad as Quade can be at least he's not Sandberg.
  4. Mostly because people wanted a serviceable player who would be cheap and not signed into a longterm deal. Fortunately Byrd was willing to sign as cheap as he did and for only 3 years. and many people though byrd signed for too much at the time. Despite Cameron's past consistency it just seemed likely this contract would end bad for him. One of the reasons he was signed to only a 2-year-deal. It would be nice to be in the Red Sox' situation where a team can afford to take a chance like this and it isn't a make or break-type of signing.
  5. I agree. I've never been a fan of creating one hole to fill another. It's one thing to move players who are coming to the end of their deals or are blocking decent players or ones that are overvalued due to the position they play (relievers)...it's another to just blindly say that "everyone can go." I never understand people who automatically assume that's a good move. It's basically saying, "yeah, this garbage season we're watching right now? I want to see that for the next 5+ years."
  6. Trading doesn't automatically make a team better. Creating a hole without a viable replacement available internally or via FA isn't making the team better.
  7. Mostly because people wanted a serviceable player who would be cheap and not signed into a longterm deal. Fortunately Byrd was willing to sign as cheap as he did and for only 3 years.
  8. ...said completely unironically on a day where the Cubs bullpen pitched every inning after the first and was fantastic until Grabow.
  9. Trading Garza would be really, really stupid. Soto, too.
  10. Are they janitors?
  11. Sucks that Dempster didn't get the win, but that was [expletive] awesome. Soak in some joy for once in your miserable lives, you pathetic animals.
  12. Wait, Dempster has thrown a 67-pitch shutout through 7? Huh, I might have to watch this.
  13. What the hell? Why did you post this again?
  14. Who is "everyone"? Marlon Byrd and Kerry Wood? If Hendry is waiting for them to turn the team around, he is even dumber than I thought. Hendry and co. are definitely trying to sell the idea of Barney being a good player so they're no doubt counting him, too.
  15. Yeah, I'll (sadly) be very surprised if he's traded. As bad as this team is they still don't seem to be at the point that they'll trade away the best player they have. Hopefully that'll change as they get closer to the decade, but I just don't see them leaving a gaping hole at 1B for the rest of the season even if it's the smart thing to do. They'll still cling to the idea that a hot player will bring them money in the short run instead of looking at the bigger picture.
  16. Wait, people honestly expect Jim Hendry to confirm or announce a fire sale? Really?
  17. I hope his nacho cheese machine explodes in his face. Of course that will happen when he's left it on for days and he's screaming at it for not magically making cheese.
  18. I [expletive] hate fans like that. If you know [expletive] is going to be awful forever then stop being a fan of the team. You suck at everything, Bum.
  19. SIGN THAT KID: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Cubs-fan-8217-s-incredible-throw-returns-Tejada?urn=mlb-wp11089
