    Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

    Ozzie vs. Milton has a real possibility of ending in murrrrrrrrrrrrrderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Would it really be that difficult to just alternate home team regular season announcers?
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Please prove this.

    Man, this is the best I've felt after a baseball game for a couple of months. Granted, that's pretty sad, but still, that was fun to watch.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Oh my God, this is so [expletive] glorious. It's like baseball porn. Go drink your pain away, La Russa.

    Didn't Harden basically shut himself down?
  8. Sammy Sofa
    I thought they just pulled Thome back so Pierre could lay down the bunt. I think he is still available. Was he not announced?
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Burning Jim Thome in the 5th to get Juan Pierre an AB with runners on 1st and 2nd and nobody out? Yikes. I reiterate again my belief that most good teams win in spite of their managers.

    While the "true fan" thing is subjective nonsense, it definitely seems difficult to reconcile being a Cubs fan and rooting for the Cardinals to get a step closer to another WS win. It really would be like a Red Sox fan rooting for the Yankees or vice-versa

    why though!? there comes a time when you just have to drop the hatred and realize that an organization has done a good job this decade... recognize that they are a group of quality ball players, and root for them because they deserve to be in the position they are currently Why would I root for the eternal rival just because they have a good team? If anything that just makes me hate them even more.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    I don't hate them because of it. It's more of a jealousy/want them to feel the pain they gave us kinda thing. But not when they are playing the Cardinals. Yeah, I really don't have anything against the teams that beat the Cubs in the playoffs. I guess depending on who they'd be playing I'd prefer if they lose, but playing the Cardinals? Go whoever isn't the Cardinals.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    That's still screwy.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    I don't care if who the Dodgers have on their team; how the hell can you root for the Cardinals?!?
  15. Sammy Sofa
    How the hell does that work?

    I'd prefer "Aaron Miles - The Final Solution." I can't believe he made me long for the days of Neifi.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    I didn't mind him when he first showed up simply because he wasn't Harry, who I really couldn't stand at all for about the last decade he was on the mic. Once Len took over, however, it was like a light bulb clicked on with the idea of, "ohhhh, so THIS is a how a good announcer sounds."

    It can't even be considered? Man, that's strict. It's not like anyone is actually saying, "don't fire Hendry because the next guy would be worse." There's a huge difference between that and "go ahead and fire Hendry...but I'm not getting my hopes up that the next guy will be any better."
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Yes and no. Given the new owners I can see the appeal of getting someone new in and signaling a "new era," but that typically requires paying big for such "newness." If the money is there, great, get the new guy in. If not, eh, limit Hendry basically to trades only and I can live with it for another year. Either way, I'm not losing sleep. If they want to still fire Hendry and there's not the money to make a big splash I'm not going to be worked up over it. I guess technically I could live with it for another year, but there's no good reason why we should have to. He's been in charge for a very long time and the team is barely over .500 with a huge financial advantage over the competition. I'm not all that upset that Joshua has been canned, but it's a weak move by Jim who typically finds something else to blame for a lack of success. He goes year to year on bizarre tangents, and he's the one who put them in this tight spot with so much money tied into just a few guys for several years. So if they somehow make it so his moves can't cripple the team going further, fine. But much like "Dusty-proofing" a roster, I don't see the point in hanging onto a guy you have to prevent from screwing up the team when he does what he wants to do. I agree with all of this.

    No, it doesn't. I'm not opposed at all to firing Hendry; I just recognize the odds that his replacement will be better aren't very good. That doesn't mean I want Hendry to stick around...I'm just not getting worked up over his replacement until they prove they're not part of the usual parade of crap that is the average MLB GM. When was the last time an owner telegraphed a GM replacement before first firing the existing one? The Jocketty situation is the only one I can remember. I don't understand what this has to do with anything. I'm not stating that the replacement has to be picked out or "telegraphed" or interviewed or whatever before Hendry is fired. I don't care if, how, where or when Hendry is fired. The closest I've come to "defending" him is saying that I wouldn't be opposed to keeping him for another season only if there is no significant payroll to work with and even then I'm not against him being fired.
