What makes you think that he doesn't? In theory, any public figure/famous person in the world could post here. Do we keep that in mind and ban making any disparaging comments about them?

Depressing Cubs factoid of the day: -
Kind words from Nevin on his way out
Sammy Sofa replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Hey, I'm not making excuses for the guy. Just trying to answer honestly for the current crop of players. -
The guy is hot right now, but I definitely agree with making him the main IF utility player behind Izturis and, ideally, Soriano.

Full Article CLASS! You don't hear a lot of players leaving bitter. Who wouldn't want to play in Wrigley in front of great fans... Jacque Jones? -
So what? That somehow magically gives you permission to continually and childishly snipe at other posters who have since happily and repeatedly said how wrong they were?
-
yeah, well, maybe you shouldn't have said that you wished rich hill would go to hell. that wasn't very cool either. As soon as Rich Hill posts here, I'll worry about it. Until then, don't worry about fighting his battles for him like you're his mother. There's not a single person here I can think of here that ranted about Hill's terrible pitching in his earlier starts that hasn't at least mentioned that it looks like they might be wrong now and that they're enjoying Hill's success. Yet despite that, there are still posters here who feel the inexplicable obligation to be as obnoxious as possible towards OTHER POSTERS here simply because they didn't jump to the same conclusion. If people were being stubborn in admitting they were wrong, hey, alright, I could kind of see the point. But hardly anyone is doing that...quite the opposite, in fact. Hill is doing well...great! People admitted they were wrong...great! People harping on other posters for not liking Hill earlier...pretty unecessary. Especially since we've now seen it from the same posters multiple times now. You made your point, we were wrong, we've mostly conceded to it very happily, now move on.

I suppose we need to take a collection to keep Fred on the road from April through October every year.

What the hell, man? Most of us bashing him earlier prefaced repeatedly that we WANT to be proven wrong. Now that we have been proven wrong so far, pretty much all of us are admitting we may have jumped the gun and praising Hill's stepping up to the ML level. These "told you so" posters are getting pretty tedious, especially since they're not really "catching" anyone at anything and really only seem to be wanting to annoy/embarass other posters. I mean, you pick two of my posts where I was clearly just ranting, mostly for comedic sake, and ignored the dozens of others where I actually explained why I didn't like Hill earlier and how I hoped he'd prove my apprehension wrong and all of the posts where I've specifically said he's shown that my previous opinions might very well be incorrect. Not cool.

Dusty apparently couldn't stand Maddux basically saying he's seeing better defense behind him now than he has in the last three months? I guess it could be seen as a dig by Maddux...I'd wish Dusty could be as clever when he's managing his own damn team.
-
That's true, but he did shut them out with only, what, 3 hits up through 7 innings? And 6 k's and only 1 walk? Yeah, I know Bonds wasn't there and it was an early morning, but that it is pretty dominating, and they're not a terrible team.

Thankfully it's treatable. Godspeed and good luck, Jon Lester.

Some ideas on the Cubs as they stand
Sammy Sofa replied to LuvChicagoSports's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Aardsma has at least shown he can control his fastball and strike out guys more consistently than Novoa. In short, Aardsma shows he has potential...Novoa has shown he's a disaster. -
Someone sleeping over at Yahoo sports
Sammy Sofa replied to Post Count Padder's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Wait, Prior had a throat infection over the winter? I've heard multiple versions of went sent him to the hospital...what's the official word at this point, from Prior or the Cubs? -
Theriot not trying to not smile as big as possible as he rounded the bases on his HR was downright, well, adorable.

Novoa's name shouldn't even be considered as part of this team in any capacity. Not even batting practice. -
I was soooooooo wrong about Rich Hill. Ich liebe Dick!
-
Good showing by Murton and Theriot today, too. The kids are alright!
-
Nice k, Eyre. Cubs...win? What th-?!? CUBS WIN!
-
CEDENOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
-
If Hill isn't in the starting rotation when 2007 begins, I'm gonna plotz!
-
Hot damn, this was a quick game!
-
Orrrrrrr get Eyre some playing time. Well, that works.
-
Barrett seems to be in kind of a funk, hitting-wise.
-
Screw this complete game stat. It means nothing. I'd rather give Dempster a shot to help get back on track as the closer.
