    Man, that is fucked up. They gotta get rid of these maple bats. It's only a matter of time until someone is seriously injured or worse by an unnecessarily explosive bat.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    This is painful.

    [expletive] YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUU AAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

    5 game win streak and the Cubs are 7-1 on this road trip so far. Too little, too late, but still fun.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    ONLY THE CUBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Which is why the Cubs rebuilding would be stupid. Glad that this has been settled.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    With as much money as the Cubs have there's zero excuse to resort to building a team around Soto, Castro and Colvin, because that team will suck.

    They're not trading those big contracts for anything of value unless they pick up a good chunk of them, so there's little reason to try and trade someone like Fukudome unless another team is desperate to have him, and that's not likely. My point is that it was pointless to bring up the idea of next year being a "rebuilding year" because the FA class isn't conducive to actually rebuilding a team and the Cubs don't have enough players that they can actually sell high on, and the Cubs aren't really a team that needs to be "rebuilt." Enough of their big contracts will be steadily coming off the books after next season that they don't have do something so drastic.

    How would it have been a rebuilding year anyway? Look at the [expletive] FA class. They can still do the critical thing, signing Dunn, with all of those guys still on the team.

    And, of course, you've got Kaplan and Stone on CTL using this as a reason to yet again talk about how the Cubs should trade him no matter what so the team can "move forward."
  11. Sammy Sofa
    You're boring.

    The worst part is that it kills any sort of trade value he might have had. Not that it would have been very high to begin with. Why is that the worst part? The Cubs thinking they should trade Zambrano is moronic regardless of what he says. Hey may be overpaid, but he's always shown he can still be a very useful starter, so trading him essentially just out of spite is dumb.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    He was looking pretty gimpy on that hip before they gave him the games off, so it seems like a smart move.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    U-S-A.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Well, just to nitpick, that's not actually what you said, but I get it.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Why would the Cubs have to wait at least 2 seasons to rebuild?
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Why is that insane? That could easily have meant that a team allowed those 5 runs in a single game (yes, I know the Cubs didn't do that).

    So you're declaring Toronto and Tampa Bay to be bad teams? As currently constructed, I'd rather play Boston than Toronto right now Yup.

    BRING BACK NADY.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    This is delightful.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Funk yes.

    Shark helping himself with an RBI single.

    Luck ??? Jesus. 4 HR in his first 5 games vs 1 hr his last 10 games should clue you in on the " luck " factor. First, there's a lot of luck involved with HR. You can groove the exact same pitch 10 times, but not all of them get hit for HR. Second, I haven't gone through the details, but he looks to have been pretty lucky with the HR in the last 10 games. That's a pace to give up about 4 HR in a season, which would be extremely rare in this era. simply put, it is basically impossible to be that anti-HR as a pitcher on a consistent basis. Third, quotation marks can actually "touch" the word they surround. I have decided to space my quotation marks from now on, as some have enough time on their hands to consider it " weird ", and others enjoy drawing attention away from their ridiculous posts by alluding to it . You do this a lot.

    Longer term (i.e. 3 to 4 years down the road), I think Aramis opting out may actually be a good thing for the Cubs, as I believe it would force them to the "rebuild from scratch" route. I don't understand why this type of thinking is still coming up (contrary to my earlier post above). It's a terrible FA class and the Cubs have nobody on the horizon in their system for years who can serviceably man 3B, plus it's not like this is a contract that bogs them down long term. Aramis opting out causes many more problems than it "fixes."
