    You can treat this like a doctor's office.

    Tell me where I hurt you.

    Free bucket of cheese?

    That's awesome. I would have figured that Ricketts would have his own private aircraft, though. Granted, it was Todd as opposed to Tom, but my dad asked about that and Ricketts said they just charter planes if they need a "private" one.

    I'll bet that makes the insiders thread.

    My old man got to meet Tom Ricketts in Arizona last week. He helped my dad get a picture of Billy Williams autographed. My dad is going to be 79 next month but he sounded like a little kid when he was telling me about it. The picture is of him and Billy from a few years ago and Billy was nice enough to personalize it and bring it over to him. :good: Very cool.

    Who are you again?

    Huh. I have no idea why I would have changed my mind over this.

    My dad flew down to Atlanta this morning and ended up meeting and spending the flight talking to Todd Ricketts.

    An advocate of him as a fulltime starter or just that he get some starts while he's up with the team? Actually he did say if it were up to him Colvin would start the first game as a reward for his spring. I think that's a bad idea from Bruce. Making the team was a reward for his spring. Fukudome is the most qualified RF on the team, you start him on opening day, no questions asked. You don't sit your best option in favor of a barely qualified player who had a flukishly good spring training. Yeah, I definitely don't agree with Miles' idea on that one.

    But it's very true.

    I think it was the Sun-Times writer who was framing everything in the batting average context. He referred to him as a disappointing 258 hitter who can only be acceptable if he hits 285 or better. But of course.

    Today is a good day.

    It's especially frustrating because you know a ton of Cubs fans will glom onto Sullivan's comments and now act like Colvin needs to be starting. I wouldn't be surprised if Fukudome ends up becoming the next victim of the boo-birds.

    Pass. How hard is it for someone to just click a link to go to the YouTube page?

    He's been a "whipping boy" because he came here as a terrible pitcher, and stringing together some passable spring sessions doesn't do anything to disprove that. Again, nobody is going to be mad if he pitches well in the regular season, but there's little reason to get excited over him right now. He still has a ton of prove. People aren't being pissy so much as being realistic mixed with some harmless hyperbole as he earns a spot over someone who has had more recent success as a starter than him Well, you've got the Hart and Murton stuff right here, plus the ridiculous assertion that people will be unhappy if Silva does well during the regular season. There's 3 repeatedly in this thread alone. Because he's a bad pitcher and still has a TON to prove. Spring means squat.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Because you consistently make up these ridiculous scenarios that paint you as the lone voice of reason (blargh) in a sea of people going nuts over mediocre or worse players. Please link us to posts where people said they're unhappy over Silva's spring or they would be unhappy if he pitches well in the regular season. The closest you'll find are people worried that a decent spring from him means he'll get more pitching appearances than he should during the regular season even if he ends up tanking, which is unfortunately not an unrealistic scenario.

    God bless us everyone.

    Don't forget they'd be dumping the defensive wizard in RF for the guy who's a true LF. In short, NSBB's best and brightest are all over this.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    You never let us down. Nobody is unhappy if he's actually pitching well.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    I hope he can carry it over to the regular season, though I doubt he'll be able to. He's simply too hittable. And I'm rooting for Gorzelanny to show what it takes to stay a starter after Lilly comes back.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    I don't believe that he wrote this.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    ... What?
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Little this team does makes any sense.
