    Because it's obvious this book is going to be made up mostly of stupid meatball garbage just from the press release alone, so it would be a waste of time for anyone with any intelligence to read it. You can find endless variations of the same reactionary anti-sabrermetric crap on blogs and message board and sports media sites all over the internet. If you want to be one those guys, great, have fun. It should be exceedingly obvious you're in a tiny, tiny minority here, and it's refuge from that type of nonsense that was one of the main reasons this place was created and took off, so don't play the poor, put upon martyr when you support books like this.

    By this you mean the lone dissenting voice has been sufficiently mocked and shouted down. It's been a while since we've had a groupthink meme post. I, for one, welcome it back. Just so it can be shouted down. And mocked. [expletive] yeah. That's what made NSBB great in the first place. The book is the epitome of Cubs.com garbage.

    Yessssssssssssss....YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO....

    Oh my. PLEASE join in.

    I think that would depend on whether or not it was a national author. If it was an international author we'd all be slaves under his conquering fist.

    Hopefully someone stops feeding you. I guess I should have expected as such from this board. Someone disagrees, calls you on your stupidity and the name calling ensues. Clearly missing the point as usual but masking it with some supposed "witty" reply that makes no sense. Thank you for adding to the examples in this thread of what is wrong with this community of bullies and jerks Then don't post such stupid posts.

    But if it was a regional author he would have been fair game. And a local author? Christ knows how they can even feed themselves.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Shut up, Sheldon.

    I love how the release proudly proclaims that he watched ALL 162 games of the Red Sox' 2009 season. Wow, ALL OF THEM?!?
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Holllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyy [expletive], this is going to be hilarious.

    I think he's consistently going to hit 60 a year.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Holy [expletive]. That's awful.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Maybe they're afraid to fire him because every time they go to talk to him he does something gross with his zombie fingers.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Really?
  15. Sammy Sofa
    The crippling loss of revenue from the "Pujols mows my lawn" and "The Cardinals take it in the Pujols" shirts.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Oh, it's definitely trolling for the fans not going insane.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Most of the Bulls fans troll this thread much, much worse than SSR ever could hope to. It's like half of them turn into erik every single game.

    No. By and large they were predicted to be a very solid team that should have been in the mix at the top of the NL so long as they stayed healthy. A couple people talking about them "running away with it" is just awful, awful analysis and was not the general prediction.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    One Albert Pujols is better than the "2-3 bats" the Cubs could net with $30 million.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    It would be worth it. If possibly the greatest hitter of all time is available to you and you can afford him and he's likely to give you at least multiple seasons of amazing production then you go for him and only settle for anyone else if you ultimately can't get him.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    It was an amazing season propped up performances that weren't likely to either be repeated or sustained, and few people (even those that were optimistic about how he would do) saw Bradley as the "missing piece of the puzzle." Just because they were picked to likely win a crappy division if they stayed healthy is still pretty [expletive] far from what you initially said.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Hey, he brings them one WS he can be broken down and useless for the rest of it.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    That's ridiculous.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Uhhhh They sure as hell looked like the best team on paper each of those years. If healthy, 2004 would have looked like an all star team. In '08 and '09, they were certainly the best team in the NL on paper. What? The '08 team certainly had an impressive season, but they weren't all that exceptional going into the season on paper. A good team, sure, but the "best team in the NL?" They were even less impressive going into '09, especially given who they were relying on and how old the team was.
