    I really hope the tradition of Cardinals dying during the season continues.

    If we were Adam Dunn away from being a dominant team that could win 90-95 and seriously challenge for the World Series, that'd be different. But with or without Dunn we're a borderline playoff team. Our chances of making the playoffs are better with him obviously, but the likely reward simply isn't worth the risk of having 1-2 years of bad Dunn + really bad Soriano. This is the rationale that seemed to be applied to the Milton Bradley signing. Just sayin' This is a really, really ridiculous take on this.

    WEAK LINK.

    Howard is a monster.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    That is not part of the list, jerkface.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Sandberg is out of the organization.

    The Dodgers signed Jon Garland The Cardinals picked up Theriot.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    I never understand why people are so quick to pin Dunn as a player who is going to fall off of a cliff as he gets older, especially just 3 seasons from now.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Grosssssss.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Good. I'm glad he'll be [expletive] sucking for a rival.

    All I remember is hating the Marquis signing, hating the money Soriano was getting but loving that the Cubs had him and going "zah?!?!?" over the DeRosa signing.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    So four quotes prove that more people were opposed to Lilly's signing than were for it?
  13. Sammy Sofa
    It's really getting annoying how many ways the Cubs will find to spend Dunn's money on mediocrity. They don't need Hudson, they don't need Webb and if they sign Dunn they don't need Pena. THIS ISN'T COMPLICATED, CUBS.

    Real life Uribe is so meh, yet he's killing it for me right now in The Show. Go figure.

    I understand the concern, but I'm not sure about your comparison to other Lovie teams. The closest thing to it would have to be the 2008 season when they won three in a row to get to 9-6 but failed to beat Houston in the final game to finish 9-7. Other than that though, they either didn't win big games in the first place, 2005/2007/2009, were really good and suffered no big losses 2006, or did about as good as they could anyway 2005. Not "big losses" so much as games that they "should" win after looking good. I know that's by no means a sure thing, but these are really the only Bears games that I get nervous over. I get nervous over games they should win much more than games you'd expect them to lose. Yup.

    It makes me nervous because it seems like they blow these types of games way too often under Lovie's regime: they win a big game/bunch of games, finally start getting some hype and it's like everyone takes the week off because they assume they're going to roll on a "lesser" team and then it blows up in their face.

    No one said they were, genius That's pretty much the running ideas that the Cubs can pull off if they can't sign Dunn. If they can't afford Dunn then it's tremendously unlikely they'll be able to afford either Fielder or Gonzalez next year given the demand that they'll command. If they sign someone like Pena I'll bet it's a multi-year deal since they'll be able to get him cheap. We all know it's not that they "can't" afford Dunn, they're choosing not to. Consider that Ricketts is probably as baseball-dumb as the average fan, he probably thinks this team can't possibly compete next year, so he won't spend money this year. So why would they be any closer to competing the year after that? I just think what relatively little money there is right now is tied up in priorities elsewhere.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    It all depends on what money the Ricketts can/will spend, and I'm decidedly not confident that they're going to be dishing out any gigantic contracts in the next 2-3 seasons.

    They're not getting Gonzalez or Fielder, morons.

    BOW BEFORE MY BOLD PREDICTIONS.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    thanks Fred You may bask in my boldness if you wish.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Bears win, 31-20. BOLD PREDICTION.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    That is some specious reasoning going on there. The question posed by the article certainly can be argued, but they're stretching that percentage for all its worth.
