    I didn't know a 71 point difference in OPS was consistent.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    That doesn't sound like a good strategy at all.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Agreed. I'd much rather that they just keep Fukudome for the final year of his contract. If Colvin is the 4th OF he can still get plenty of AB's platooning with Fukudome and spelling for Byrd and Soriano when they need a day off. I'd like to see Nady brought back in that scenario as well if he keeps up his resurgence for the rest of the year.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Disagree with you. Fuku's contract is a sunk cost. Colvin's contract in comparison is minimal. Colvin is younger, will be cheaper and is under team contract for longer than Fukudome. The team should be thinking about the future not this year. Colvin should be playing first, with Kosuke in RF. Nady getting ABs is what makes no sense. Getting a team to take a portion of Kosuke's contract would have been easier if he were playing as he is every day. And it is not sunk cost, or at least it didn't have to be. It's the same sort of stupidity that sending Z to the pen the second times was. And what if Kosuke can't be traded? Then we have the same problem going into 2011. Actually, Nady getting starts makes plenty of sense if they're thinking of bringing him back, especially if they're determined to move Fukudome. Nady's performance over the last month+ hopefully shows that he's recovered from his surgery, which would make him very valuable.

    Personally, I "gave up" on the Bears before the preseason. They didn't or couldn't do enough to improve the offense.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Not bad enough!
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Probably because the main reason that we haven't seen much of Fukudome is that the Cubs have been insistent on playing Colvin instead, even when it would have behooved them to have been attempting to be showcasing Fukudome for a trade if they were and are indeed (foolishly) determined to trade him.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    About time you fools embraced reality.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Sorry he wasn't as insightful as "Fukudome not terrible??"
  10. Sammy Sofa
    What does it matter if a GM "always gets his guy" (and KW doesn't) if "his guy" usually isn't what the team actually needs?
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Does Rich Harden no longer exist? And the Kenny Williams circus show is not something to long for. All he's concerned with is doing something "big" regardless of whether or not it's actually what his team needs. I'd much rather see the Cubs be like the Twins when it comes to post-deadline moves.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    You can't remember 2 years ago?
  13. Sammy Sofa
    The Celtics fan is ragging on another team for having ugly players.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    It's TJS, you spaz.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    It would look a lot better with Fukudome in there instead of Colvin. For the first couple of months of the season atleast. Holy hell, people are still flogging this?
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Did anyone really think he wouldn't ever need TJS?
  17. Sammy Sofa
    It's not the end of the world. TJS usually isn't a huge deal and a lot of pitchers actually comes back stronger after having it and fully recovering. Yeah, this means they won't see him next year, but next year was going to be another step in their rebuilding process anyway. This actually has a good chance of prolonging his career (and thus the money that the Nats can make off of him) and hopefully will line up nicely with when it's time to unleash Harper.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Who, Konerko? Why would that even matter here?
  19. Sammy Sofa
    SOLD.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    How would the Cubs be able to sign Konerko only for 1 year even if they wanted to? Are they going to offer him some insane salary for that one year?
  21. Sammy Sofa
    BURN.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    You motherfucking cocksucking fuckfaces.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    How can we rate this astronomically?
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, that's what's key for me, too. It's nice that when he hits a homer he usually clobbers the hell out of it, but that really isn't impacting the rest of the game unless they start awarding two runs for home runs hit really hard. Jake Fox beat the holy hell out of the ball when he'd knock it out of the park and he typically looked like a hot mess the rest of the time at the plate. Not saying that Colvin is Fox, but when you have a hitter whose value right now is seemingly locked up in an unsustainable home run rate and nothing else, it's not terribly encouraging.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Obviously depending on contract, but what would be wrong with that? Especially a 1 year deal which still leaves us a chance to get Gonz/Fielder Why would Konerko sign a one-year-deal after the year he's having?
