    back-off tonight, crap you can't let anything rest. It must be hell being Wylie E. Coyote Super-genius Just cop to being dumb.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    I think only one person here is making that assumption.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Because there's almost no chance at all that something like that will have any bearing on whether a player will sign there as a FA.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    How the [expletive] do you misspell the name "Morgan?"
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, I'd still like to see him, or Bobby Valentine, though Bobby V. does run contrary with the general sentiment I've come to have towards "established managers." Maybe it's Lou and Dusty running things back to back, but someone like Gonzalez appeals to me because I think there's less of an egotistical, "don't you know who I am?," dig-in-your-heels-regardless-of-how-stupid-a-decision-is-type manager there. That's why I really would not want to see guys like Sandberg or Brenly handed the reigns any time soon.

    You don't know that. Oh, but I do. I have wondrous and terrible powers. Besides, who cares what Dye could do? What, they were supposed to sign him in anticipation of playing him instead of Lee? Or they should have signed him over Nady? People do remember how much he was demanding, right? And how not coincidentally he's still unsigned?
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Because Dye would still be much worse.

    His .717 OPS would be 5th overall among AL SS. It's amazing how bad they've been. The NL OPS is just .729. It's amazing how bad everybody has been. roids I miss 'em.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    They do call it a luxury tax.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    What were they supposed to get for him? At that point the only thing he could be counted on was to eat innings. He was far too expensive for the Cubs to expect to get anything decent in return.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    OK? Who was taking the counter position to that in the first place? The point of this was never specifically "the Cubs lose in the playoffs because of their facilities."
  12. Sammy Sofa
    But that's not even a question that needed to be asked in the first place. Who is thinking otherwise? It doesn't make any sense.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    But what do you mean by "level?" That could mean any number of factors. This is a terrible, terribly vague question.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    What?
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Chris Bosh is not in the top 10.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    I guess the Dodgers are saying the same thing?
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Between this and wishing the Bulls still had Hinrich and Salmons you're on a roll tonight.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Stick to hockey. I think I'm gonna be a Miami Heat fan now that I'm all into this basketball stuff. Woo Heat! Oh, you're trying to be that anti-Obama guy who had the bat as his avatar. I get it.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Stick to hockey.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    I hope Wade blows out his knee in the first game.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    [expletive] moron.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, good thing Theriot is getting that start at 2nd against a LH pitcher over Baker and that he's leading off. Great call, Lou.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    ?????? it has more to do with the cubs got nothing back for him and that player was released 2 weeks into the season to bring shark up. Hendry likely could have gotten much more at the deadline, esp with the way Marquis pitched last season. We have no idea how Marquis would have pitched had he been with the Cubs last year. At the time he was moved he was an unremarkable starting pitcher who typically stunk in the second half with a terrible contract. It was a contract dump, and as such there's no way the Cubs could have expected to get much in return.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Well, I thought the discussion was focusing on centers since Kyle brought the 90's Bulls up. That's about the only way to could say the Bulls didn't have an "inside presence."
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Eh, they had Grant and Rodman respectively. Yeah, neither time did they have anything resembling a classic or ideal center, but at least they had big guys who would play like beasts under the basket if needed.
