Why the hell is Theriot leading off? Why the hell is Colvin starting vs. a RH pitcher over Fukudome? How the hell did Wells get through the first inning 1-2-3? ANSWER ME, GOD. -
You know Castro and Lee have the same...

Dammit, you suck at everything. -
He does? A blindfolded, deaf chimp could have a winning managerial record with the teams he's luckily fallen backasswards into.
-
Most prospects don't live up to the hype or expectations people have of them.
-
This makes absolutely no sense.
-
Why the [expletive] would Torre be a good fit?
-
It's not possible for this team to be fun bad.
-
What the hell is the Cubs' hype machine?
-
Lou's not running anything into the ground.

I don't understand why you think any "response" from management this season would mean you would somehow end up not consistently watching a crap Cubs team for the rest of the year. I agree with what someone brought up in the other thread, that ideally this shitty, shitty team isn't going to be dumped on anyone else this year.
-
Nobody gives a [expletive] about the Cubs besides Cubs fans, Cardinal fans and White Sox fans. Calm down.

Gwyneth Paltrow's gigantic dick.

The Cubs need to just let Colvin play full time if and when it is conducive for them to do so.
-
He could play every inning from now until October and there would still have to be questions about how future. True. A better way to say it would be remove as much doubt as possible I guess. Honestly, it would basically be impossible to do so. Colvin is too young and his professional career is too limited.
-
Time to be a hero, Tyler.

And Soriano to 1B is a much better option than Colvin to 1B.
-
The Phillies can live with Howard's defense because of his offensive production. I understand, which is why I mentioned that Colvin is no Howard. However, what do the Cubs have to lose. If anything else they can figure out if he is ABLE to play first (which shouldn't be too difficult), and if he isn't, what have you lost? The Cubs stand to lose nothing by trying, and stand to gain alot if Colvin can continue to contribute while playing 1B. It's highly unlikely that the Cubs would try something like that, but it would seem logical to try to find a alternative solution for 1B next year when there are very few candidates within our organization or through free agency. Especially if the intent is to find a stud 1B through free agency after 2011 (Fielder, Gonzalez). The Cubs have absolutely no idea if Colvin can even be a 4th OF; how about they allow his role as an OF become more clear before deciding to hand him the reigns at 1B? Hell, to tie it in to what was also brought up, it would make much more sense to move Soriano to 1st and let Colvin play LF.
-
The Soriano suggestion was something that came up a while ago and was more in terms of how to better deal with his contract as time went on if the Cubs don't have a better option at 1B. The Colvin idea just came up in this thread and is the idea of one absolutely insane individual. Oh, ok. Thanks for the clarification. What is the general consensus on Fonzie at 1st? I, for one, would like to watch it but would hate for it to happen. Eh, it definitely smacks of worst case scenario, but it wouldn't be the worst idea if the Cubs had the opportunity to significantly improve LF and didn't have anyone essential at 1B.

Because it's not Newark. And holy Christ, I don't think "slum" means what you think it means if you're deeming all of Brooklyn to be one. Dude, I lived in Brooklyn and worked in Brooklyn. I know what a slum looks like. I have friends and a brother who live in Brooklyn and have been there quite a few times myself. Most of Brooklyn is nowhere near being a slum. If that's a slum, then people living in actual slums are actually living on some kind of other-dimensional plane of Hell.

No one is saying he's incapable of learning the position. It's just probably not the wisest thing in the world for a player in his first major league season to REGULARLY play a position he's never played as a professional. He's already having to adjust to major league pitching. And while he's hitting well for now, he's bound to have a slump. When that happens, I'd prefer if his focus wasn't divided between his offensive struggles and learning a new position, regardless of how easy said position may be. If the club had any ideas of making him into a first baseman, they would most likely do so during the offseason. This I can live with...All I am saying is this team is going nowhere this year, jerking him in and out of the lineup divides his focus more than going to 1st would...IMO. How is he being "jerked in and out of the lineup?" How is he not? Because he's just getting starts when the regular starters are getting a day off. Or when they've had DH flexibility. Or he comes in as a PH or a defensive replacement. You know, the things baseball players do. How is this him being "jerked in and out of the lineup?"
