    Sort of. The people flipping out over selling high on DeRosa were dumb. People frustrated that both Archer and Lee were traded for the likes of Garza are much, much smarter than them.

    You laugh, but I bet somewhere on Cubs.com or in some crappy blog's comments, someone is making this post.

    Hyperbole. Hah! Totally unrelated, but I just realized why your screen name and avatar were so familiar on the AV Club.

    And by "bunch of awesome AL teams" you mean two? Divisions aren't all that big. Sue me for generalizing 2 really really freaking good lineups as "a bunch." Would you prefer "a bunch of awesome hitters?" Or is that leaving the standard for awesome too low? Let's really dissect this. Let's. Your ideas of what he did while on the Rays against the AL East are really overblown.

    Yeah, for the reasons I talked about. It wasn't in the sense of "OH MY GOD, CEDA IS GOING TO BE AMAZING." It was frustration over why they were trading ANYONE to get someone like Kevin Gregg. I'm angry about Lee going not out of expectations for what he can do for the Cubs as a player but rather as what he can net as a prospect. Again, he's very highly regarded around baseball, and I don't think it's a stretch to think he could have been used in a package at some point to get a player better than Garza.

    OK, let's see who else is coming back.

    How can you forget the mistakes of trading away future studs like Sean Gallagher, Eric Patterson and Jose Ceda? haha Who was flipping out over Patterson? Where was the outcry over trading Gallagher to get Rich [expletive] Harden? Who was gnashing their teeth over Jose Ceda being a "future stud?" The criticism of that one was over trading ANYONE to get a really unremarkable at best closer. The general attitude towards Ceda is that he was cheap and under the Cubs' control for a while and could be effective if he was able to keep his weight under control. So, in other words...what the [expletive] are you two giggling about? You do get why people would prefer giving up Lee or Archer as opposed to both, right? I think Garza is good, but he's not likely to be a real gamechanger for a team that was already pretty good pitching-wise. If you're going to give up two really highly rated and regarded prospects for one player it should be for someone who's more of a lock to be a real impact on the team's ability to compete.

    Blech.

    This is true. Ricketts' hands are tied right now. The state doesn't want to give him money to renovate Wrigley, and building a new ballpark isn't currently an option. He's got to make as much money as possible..whether it's to pay for renovations or put toward debt or whatever. so, I expect we'll see a lot more of this until someone else agrees to pay to renovate Wrigley. Exactly.

    If the Cubs are saddled with having to play this dump for all eternity they might as well get as much money out of it as they can.

    Faaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrt.

    Yeah, it's called not sucking earlier in the game. true, but playoff games tend to be closer, so a lot comes down to free throw shooting down the stretch Yeah, but it's not like they're just going to flip this around. You've got a bunch of the team shooting worse than they usually have in their careers from the line, so unless they just forgot how to shoot free throws it's just one of those things. Supposedly they're shooting a ton from the line in practice, so there's not much more that can be done outside of just getting it done.

    Whoopsy-doodle.

    My guess is they would both serve their time in the countries where they live, and where the crimes occured. BUT THEY'RE BOTH BASEBALL PLAYERS THAT COMMITTED VIOLENT CRIMES.

    That's why we keep you around. Don't cower before them. STAND TALL.

    Michael Vick's going to put his rape stand to good use next week in Philly. Yessssss. That's the stuff.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    WHY ARE BEARS FANS BEING NICE TO THE PACKERS FANS?!?! Talk some [expletive], dammit.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Good sportsmanship? Screw that. I hope the Packers die in a plane crash.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Only right now?
