  1. Right; THIS year. It's not like we're looking at a Pirates team set up for a prolonged stretch of badness or mediocrity. Trading a valuable and beloved players really isn't something they need to do or should do when it's hardly a stretch to think they'll be competitive again next season.
  2. That seems VERY unlikely.
  3. My dad and I ran into Soriano during his single season with the Nats and told him he would look great in Cub blue and Soriano just laughed and laughed and laughed.
  4. i'm so sad about this it has really hurt us Yeah, he makes it sounds like the team has just been pounded with bad luck.
  5. Done and done: neil is great I swear that thing puts me into some kind of weird trance.
  6. Was he running the right way?
  7. Damn, Vin Scully was already TT's nemesis, but now he's going after sulley, too: http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/vin-scully-has-strong-feelings-about-socialism-1782196988
  8. You kinda have to with a last name like that. It's a built-in nickname.
  9. Shirtless Cahill pics plz "There's just more of me to go around!"
  10. The guy is going to be a 35-year-old catcher when he's FA next; it's not like he'll really be in a "contract year"-type situation so much as, "damn, I hope I can get a job as a backup, IF I can even keep my job playing baseball." I doubt he'll have much of a problem making $14 million as a backup while clearly on the back end of his career. Not to be a prick, but he'll be 34. And yes, you may be right. I was just leaving open the possibility that at 34 he might be hanging onto some ideal of maybe finding a 2 year deal as a starter with some team that has a huge hole at catcher. I'm just hypothesizing. Obviously I don't know the guy or anything. Maybe he's totally content being a backup on a really good, really fun team like the Cubs. 2015 is looking more and more like an outlier in the backslide of his career. Sure, he might decide he wants a big deal, but unless he has an amazing bounceback this year he'd have to be in pretty serious denial. Everything he's done and said indicates he seems to be a pretty good team guy, so fortunately it seems unlikely he's going to press the issue when he's making out like a bandit and making $14 million.
  11. Damn, I knew Rose had gotten bad, but not KNICKS-bad. That's depressing.
  12. I was kinda scared you were going to unleash a shirtless Lester on us.
  13. This sounds like a name you'd read on a grave in Colonial Williamsburg.
  14. by the way, the whole point of those hangover jokes is that he (at least allegedly) doesn't drink I thought the whole point was the idea of him basically [expletive] himself with hangover poops was hilarious.

  16. Seems more likely they keep Montero since the team needs two catchers. Yup...and conceivably Schwarber is your 3rd guy that lets Joe do all the wacky things his heart might desire. Exactly. Nobody's likely to give the Cubs anything of real value for Montero unless they basically paid for his whole salary, so might as well ride it out.

  18. I'm all in now on wanting Cleveland to finally win another championship.
  19. Smart of him to quickly apologize to the fan and the Cavs bench to remove any potential discussion of discipline. I'd have been honored to have been nailed with such laser-like precision. LOOK AT IT:
