2021 HR Derby [Discussion & Transaction Thread]
Sammy Sofa replied to Southpaw19's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'll get signed up, too. Mods, can you pin these threads up everywhere, or something? IT'S THE ONLY GOOD BASEBALL THING LEFT. -
that might be because you got used to len sounding like kermit the frog for 16 years. i'm pretty sure we almost unanimously HATED that at first.

The Worst Defensive Play of All Time?
Sammy Sofa replied to Cubswin11's topic in General Baseball Talk
Damn, CF needs to calm the horsefeathers down. -
Opening day fans not hopeful of the Cubs.
-
"White Sox parts ways" hurts a teeny tiny bit every time I read it.
-
So lots of 1-0, 2-1 losses then.

Shoulda used the driver.

Well, when you work for Tom Ricketts that's about all you can afford to clothe yourself.

And the answer to "why not the Bears?" is always, ALWAYS, "because they're the horsefeathering Bears." Come on, people.

You say this like it's a bad thing.

Chafin like a baby bear

I'll see links to the stories on the other Gawker pages, and the headlines are so baffling. The vast majority of them, the one linked to here included, seem to be exactly what got the new owners to try and rein in the old good writers and made them quit. So now they have a nigh-worthless website without comments and written by no-names that are a pale version of what made the site popular in the first place. Good job?

I am determined to win finally win this the same year I don't watch a second of any baseball.

The threat title should be "Cubs have Kohl's Cash" Between this and Joc, this board really dropped the ball with the thread titles. Boooo.
-
Inaccurate headline: Ricketts is actually try to pay everyone with Kohl's Cash.
-
They're hamstrung by any deal.
-
That would have been fun money. Instead we're going to see a fraction of it spent on no-name bums. Never side with management.

Kris Bryant is awesome and we were always right to love him
Sammy Sofa replied to Brian's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Kris Bryant is sad about baseball because he's on the Cubs and talks about it on a horsefeathering Barstool podcast, and then Jesse Rogers writes about it. That's so many delicious layers of depressing. -
Here's the "best case" scenario for the Cubs: At best, they fostered a FO environment where both the victim of abuse AND someone else working for the Cubs either felt they shouldn't or couldn't report this.
-
Yeah, shocker it's someone else trying to minimize this sort of thing. Much less a shocker than yet another post from who someone who desperately wants everyone to believe he understands but in actuality proves with each passing post that he is closer to 12th ring of Uranus than he is to anything approximating understanding. Nobody is minimizing the act. ...is minimizing it. Someone within the org besides Porter and his victim knew about this. You acted like there was no information like this out there, as opposed it it being available for anyone to find in the multiple articles about it. Maybe look for those next time instead of worrying about the Cubs org getting an unfair shake for their umpteenth case of having an abuser on the payroll.
-
And again, trying to minimize what he did like that serves no purpose, especially when these are the types of things typically done by people who feel they can get away with it, which is often due in no small part to the environment it happens in or because of. It's so horsefeathering far from a stretch to cast an eye at his workplace at the time since the reporter and Porter's interactions only happened because they were both working for or with the Cubs. It's a documented pattern of behavior that at least one other person in the Cubs organization knew about besides Porter and his victim. Someone knew, and still this guy only left the org on the path of rising to become a GM himself. The Cubs should be getting nothing but side-eye over this right now.
