    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.

    You can't remember 2 years ago?
  3. Sammy Sofa
    The Celtics fan is ragging on another team for having ugly players.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    It's TJS, you spaz.
  5. 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?
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Did anyone really think he wouldn't ever need TJS?
  7. 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.

    Who, Konerko? Why would that even matter here?
  9. Sammy Sofa
    SOLD.
  10. 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?
  11. Sammy Sofa
    BURN.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    You motherfucking cocksucking fuckfaces.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    How can we rate this astronomically?
  14. 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.
  15. 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?
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Awesome series.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    i hope it's of him standing over a fallen patrick ewing. or maybe it should be of him pointing to spike lee's chair. Maybe him watching Toni Kukoc make a shot. I will [expletive] end you.

    Wouldn't it make sense, then, to pursue the guy who's going to be the most productive once we get competitive? Dunn will be 32 in 2012, which is probably the next time we'll be competitive, while Gonzalez will be 30 that year. We might get 1-2 seasons of production from Dunn once we get competitive again, compared to 3-4 out of Gonzalez. The Cubs can pretty easily be competitive next year. Dunn would go a long way to making that so. He's also going to cost a lot less in years and money.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    With the ways the Cubs are likely to be constructed based on the 1B they get after either this season or the next, they are fucked regardless who that 1B is if his offense falters, better defense or not.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Dunn will turn 31 this November (born 11/9/1979). The age isn't a huge difference, as I said, but it's a plus for Gonzalez nonetheless. And I still think the fact that we're very unlikely to be highly competitive next year for the first year of Dunn's contract, whereas we should be able to field a much more competitive team starting in 2012 and going forward. Whoops, I stink at math. Still I stand by the idea that a year and half isn't enough to justify the money and years that A-Gon is going to almost certainly command over Dunn. I don't know where the idea is coming from that Dunn's type of offense won't "age well."
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Hold on, the age point between Dunn and Gonzalez is ridiculous. Between when either would theoretically sign with the Cubs when first available you're looking at a difference of less than a year in age. Why do people keep pointing out that Dunn will be 31 at the end of his first season (November) with the Cubs as if he's 31 the entire year and saying that Gonzalez is "only" 29 when he'd turn 30 a month (May) into what would be his first season? We're talking about two guys here who will be 30 their first season with the Cubs if the Cubs sign them. A-Gon is a better player overall, but I don't think there's a enough difference in the offensive output and the age to justify passing on a hitter as good as and as consistent as Dunn for someone who isn't significantly younger and is going to cost a lot more.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Holy hell, what a nightmare.

    If we're paying a reasonable price for him, I'll agree. If the bidding for him gets too high and we'll overpay for him, I'd rather wait since we're probably not going to be competitive next year anyway. Wait for what? A 29-year-old and 28-year-old who aren't going to put up vastly different numbers who are going to command a LOT more? You keep referring to Dunn like he's this old man, yet he'd be 30 if he starts the season with the Cubs next year. Fielder would be just turning 28 at the start of the 2012 season, so yes, he's younger but he's going to command a ton more money than Dunn, yet does he really bring THAT much more to the table? Gonzalez will be 30 when he's a FA, too, and he too is going to command much more money. Why do you think Dunn is someone they should pass on?

    People that don't appreciate Sosa the Cub are scum.
