    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.

    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.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    thanks Fred You may bask in my boldness if you wish.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Bears win, 31-20. BOLD PREDICTION.
  8. 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.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    [expletive] love this team.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Optimistically, about two weeks. Realistically, probably a little longer. Damn. For some reason I thought he was going to be back around the end of this month.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    When is Boozer supposed to be back?
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Maybe they were counting on him to not be a greedy idiot.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    [expletive]. This is awful.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, calling the Cutler the weak link is absurd. He makes his share of mistakes and dumb decisions, but he's by far the strongest part of the offense.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    The receivers are the weak link right now.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Nippon-Ham is the company that owns them, since Japanese baseball allows such corporate labeling, so "Fighters" is not their nickname; that's the team name.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Probably not.

    I'd be curious to see how/if that could work out for the Cubs. On the one hand you lose the tourist/visiting fan factor. On the other hand you gain a huge suburban market of people who don't want to trek downtown. On the other hand, as soon as you start getting out of the city you start finding more and more fans of neither the White Sox or the Cubs.

    BRING ON VIAGRA FIELD.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Probably. Same people that cried about the Under Armour logos and the Bud Light Bleachers.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Something like "...presents Wrigley Field" would be fine. Anyone who has a problem with that when it could bring in some serious cash is hopeless.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Nice defense.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    OK, the lob 3 was reversed.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    GooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodDAMMIT.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Rose with the 3 working.
