    Nasty, nasty pitch. That was perfect.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    Wowwwwwwwwwwww.

    If they have plenty of arms in the pen why did they bring in a starter on 1 day rest to get outs for them. I just thought it was an odd move that's all. Because ideally he's much, much better than any of the other arms available and then they wouldn't have to go to Wilson until the 9th. PLAY TO WIN, YOU [expletive] [expletive].

    YESSSSSSSSSSSS.

    Beard me, baby.

    Dammit, don't [expletive] this up, Freak.

    Panic? They've got plenty of arms in the bullpen. This is ideally shutting the door.

    Cliff Lee is great but their rotation is not that good. And yet they've had some of the best pitching in the AL this year.

    Doesn't really make that huge a difference in the long run. It's not always or necessarily a "bad" thing, but it's not really critical to having a good team and can pretty easily be detrimental.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Just because you spend like the Yankees doesn't mean you have to root for them.

    There's 2 1/2 years difference in their ages thats well within the ball park. That's why were not comparing slash stats. There's a whole plethora of metrics out their specifically designed to compare players of different skill sets. I can't find anywhere where I suggested that was the case. My question was they make similar salaries are they of similar value? Which is fair...I disagree...I'd bet he makes closer to Marlon Byrd money than he does 10M. (obviously assuming no dramatic changes) I'm now completely baffled as to why you brought up Adam Dunn. Fukudome's simply not significantly overpaid based on his production thus far.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    In 2008, Dunn made $13 million. Kosuke made $13 mil last year. Dunn also made $12 mil last year. If I was looking for an outfielder, I'd strongly consider Kosuke over Dunn because of defense. If I had an opening at first, where I could minimize Dunn's horrid defense, I'd take Dunn in a heartbeat. The list I saw had Fukudome at 14M for last year - but the point really was do you consider them equivalent players? I don't (and I'm not nearly the Dunn fan that some are) Lets pretend Fukudome is a FA this year. Is there a team anywhere on the planet that is going to offer him $14M or 12M or 10M...? This type of comparison doesn't make any sense. They're significantly different in age with significantly different skill sets. Making the same or similar money doesn't make them similar players. And yes, I could easily see him being offered around $10 million a year after this contract.

    [expletive] awesome.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    I don't think both sides of that sentence can co-exist - it's a little late so forgive me if I am missing something. It means that generally speaking, based on his production and his salary to this point Fukudome isn't really overpaid. Maybe a bit, but not significantly so. The former point means that the Cubs very well could have spent the money better based on their specific needs, but that doesn't actually mean that he's overpaid. That's a different issue from someone being overpaid; it means that at the time that the Cubs needed to spend that money on a different type of player from Fukudome, but that doesn't make him overpaid based on how he's produced. It means the Cubs didn't spend their money wisely.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    That seems to be the Cubs' MO too often. Both Fukudome and Bradley would have been better suited as being slotted as #2 hitters from the get go, but the inexplicably looked at both of them as being #5 guys.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    I didn't want bad things to happen to him; I just don't want him managing the Cubs. I hope he gets a managing job with another MLB team.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Depends. He was overpaid in that one could argue that the Cubs should have or could have spent the money better, but in terms of the production received thus far he's effectively breaking even.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Is Fukudome overpaid? Yes. Yes and no.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, he's got better things to do. If he hadn't so generously been a manager in their minor league system then he could have just jumped to being a manager for an MLB team right away, no problem.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Sounds like a name da Bum would have given himself.

    So some lunatic tried to kill ARod during last night's game: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Police-Man-who-rushed-Yankee-Stadium-field-went;_ylt=Ai.J7sjGiiOCvgfpriuZwTgRvLYF?urn=mlb-278394
  23. Sammy Sofa
    They have plenty of good options.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    If a West Coast team didn't make it, tough [expletive], West Coast.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Using pitchers you already control when you have a decent amount of pitching talent in your farm system is plenty creative enough for me, especially given the current financial situation.
