    Between rooting for the White Sox, thinking that the Cell is "beautiful" and your anti-Santo sentiment this is all terribly suspect.

    ? For those of us who have quit watching, whats this about? He made a great leaping catch to rob Theriot of a single that would have driven in Scales from 3rd and tied the game.

    Look, he's already the footballknowitall; he can't also be the baseballknowitall.

    It never ceases to amaze me how he's been built up into this incredible impact player.

    He has no business starting a MLB game right now. I wish the FO would stop being jackasses and just let him sit in the minors for a full season and work on stuff. Instead of jacking him around from the minors and majors 20 times a season. While having him up in the pen throughout the season at this point is stupid, I don't see the harm in letting him get an actual start right now with the Cubs all but out of it and the minor league season done.

    Oh my God, HE'S MARK-FREAKIN'-DEROSA.

    That's what I was thinking. This season really killed you guys this much by being in 1st place as late as August? And on the miserable to root for, this team isn't in the same galaxy as '04. I really don't understand. I think it's right there with '04, but neither of those compares to '05 and '06. Well I meant the more, I hate these [expletive] and the way they act(i.e. Moises Alou) But yeah, if you didn't flinch during the [expletive] parade that was the '06 season, how the hell do you give up this year? Beats me. I don't know how this year can possibly be a breaking point for someone who has been a Cubs fan for any significant period of time.

    Alright, I take back my doom and gloom over Cameron. I didn't know he had been that consistently useful.

    I'd have zero problem firing Hendry after this season if there's any kind of significant money to spend. If there's not I'd rather just hold onto Hendry until there is. I don't see the point of saddling a new GM with a mess they can't do much of anything about via the payroll. If trades are the only moves that can be made I'll take my chances with Hendry until the pursestrings can be opened or some money is off the books.

    As well as the Cardinals have run their organization I can't imagine that they're going to be too interested in resigning DeRosa unless he can be had for VERY cheap.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Great year for Lee.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    To be fair, the sombrero's a bit much, but with all the community involvement Pujols does, how do you know Pujols has not in fact taken a lawn mower and mowed his lawn? Good point. He's a classy guy like that and a sombrero would just practical doing all that hard work in the hot sun, which is something that someone as brilliant as Pujols would realize. I love Albert Pujols.

    Facing a couple of pitchers [expletive] the bed definitely helps. Classy avatar you have there.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    The horror begins.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Which is stupid because even in his career year he wasn't a big RBI guy. You can't really make a player into something they're not.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    In the long run they're basically a wash.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Whut? DeRosa and Edmonds, duh It's remarkable the Cubs let two once-in-a-lifetime players get away like that. It makes letting Maddux sign with the Braves seem like nothing at all.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Whut?
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Dude, slow down. Go Tweet or something and get it out of your system. You're Roasting it up here something fierce.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    The question is: what would be the purpose of that? If indeed Bradley refused to play when asked to, such a grievance could backfire easily. What if he's claiming he didn't want to pinch-hit because he thought he was injured?
  21. Sammy Sofa
    The Reds owe the Cubs a favor for drafting and trading Josh Hamilton. Time to call that favor in. :D If Dusty is still around that might not be a bad idea. Milton and Dusty would be a match made in heaven. The Cubs apparently were interested in signing Milton prior to the 2006 season and Dusty and Milton met and apparently that didn't go well.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    I'm not going to get a "twitch" over DeRosa's unremarkable at best season. I'm definitely optimistic about next season, though I don't see it as some kind of sure thing. A lot of it hinges on whether Soriano and Soto can bounce back and whether or not Harden is back and healthy and used correctly.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    He was very upfront about how bad he was doing when he started so cold.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Would have been nice much earlier in the season but Fontenot is looking much better at the plate lately. I definitely think he'll hold some value as a bench guy next season.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    That's a good point. And I don't want to give the impression that I dump the Cubs at the drop of a hat, just that I believe everyone has a point where it ceases to be worthwhile to stick with any particular endeavor. I have the same emotional attachment that most here do, and it's not necessarily easy to just stop caring. But it grates a bit when people act like it's literally impossible. Who said it's literally impossible?
