Sammy Sofa

I still just use the earbuds that came with my Gameboy, but I paint C's on the speaker so my brain can see it.

Did anyone even hire Thibodeau? Noah and Rose are basically corpses in different states of decay who don't know they're dead yet.

Pace's first draft was pretty good. Then there is hope.

That's why you don't turn sigs and avatars off, fool.

When I can vote for everything I vote for everything which is why I voted for everything.

That's the case for anything where people skip the tags and just post the link, be it tweet or video or what have you. DON'T BE LAZY, FOLKS.

I left at the 1 second mark. Can't be using a sappy song like that for baseball. shut your piehole that song is amazing and i will always love starlin no matter how much i hated on him Hahahaha. Yeah it's great for a Saved By the Bell Kelly loves Zack montage but that's about it. http://38.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4xmu1SKl91qa601io1_500.gif

His debut honestly looks like the Cubs sent a baby to the plate.

I say aim big. I say he makes them forget about Jeter. THAT'S RIGHT.

I'll eat anything at least once. Someone fry me up some crow and I'll murder a murder.

Sure seemed like he "learned from his mistakes" after he lost his starting job.

I like how on top of the other weirdness he talks like this is some kind of terrible return for the Cubs. He's an odd duck.

Oh, what is this fresh nonsense. Non-GMO crow is now being served at Sammy's table. Told ya. You realize people thought the "fragile psyche" was the ridiculous part, right? Not that he was likely still being shopped (there's, like, 4 people on this team that likely are completely off-limits). I mean, it was even in bold and everything.

I hope you're saying you're going to wear it at the gym and then give it to him.

Well, the fact that we would still have Rizzo, Bryant, Russell and Schwarber is kinda big in this scenario. If we trade Castro and Soler, then they are simply trading the two worst guys of our "core," depending on if you consider Javy a part of the core. They aren't trading away the cheap, young stars. In fact, Starlin isn't really any of those things. His salary isn't really cheap anymore. It's not prohibitive or expensive really. But, he isn't pre-arb, like those other guys. And he is what he is now. He's just a guy that happens to be kinda young and under contract for awhile. Trading a guy like Soler might bite us. But, he's like our fourth or fifth best pre-arb guy, anyway. And he hasn't done anything to prove that he is anywhere near the level of the guys we are actually keeping. That's not how it works though. Zobrist isn't that much better than good Castro. He's not that much better than bad Castro and Baez (who would presumably take over for bad Castro at 2B), that you pay him 19Mil more over the next 4 years with 10 years of age on his side. And there's no law that you can only have 4 good pre-arb players. And if I'm trading a good pre-arb player, I want a similarly good pre-arb player at a bigger position of need. It's swapping out Starlin for Zobrist for $15 million more over the next four years + whatever we get back in a Starlin trade. I think it is brilliant. Depends on what they get for Castro. Also, gotta figure Baez into this somehow. Unless he really takes to CF, then the collateral damage of Zobrist at 2B is not only Castro being traded, but likely Baez being traded. Zobrist has too big of a contract and leash to put Baez in there everyday if he's struggling. Zobrist is already your super-utility guy. Going to be hard to get Javy ABs in the lineup as constructed, and that's before the Cubs have a CF. Baez can get plenty of time as the super utility guy.

There's a whopping 4 games left in a 16 game season. It ain't like being some douche acting like their night is ruined because the Cubs somehow managed to eke out a win in game #126 in an season that was toast before it even began, but hey, YA GOT ME.

Right, plus, like I've said, the Bears actually haven't looked that bad this year. It's obviously a generalization, but they've been in pretty much all of their games and their losses have been close. You'll see the roster shake up after this season, but given how they've looked with all of the injuries and the deficiencies they had going into the season, I feel like a solid draft could really go a long way to turning them around quickly.

Plus the Cubs have a FO that I was confident in drafting well regardless of whether they had a top pick or not. I still don't know what to make of these clowns running the Bears, but I'm not nearly as confident in them.

weren't you anti tank with the cubs even when the seasons were long over or an I thinking of someone else I'm anti-tanking from the get-go no matter what the sport is.The Bears have reached a point where their chances of the playoffs are remote, plus they've mostly just lost close games instead of being catastrophically bad, so it's not like they're desperately rebuilding from a complete disaster. Pump up that draft. I'm saying weren't you one of the people pissed at people rooting for losses when the team was in last place in August or am I remembering the wrong guy? Well, yeah, [expletive] like the obsessive Fecal League standings and barren game threads mostly populated with chumps bemoaning Cubs wins are things any sane person can't stand.

Lose, you idiots.

Oh, what is this fresh nonsense. nothing says fragile psyche like being lauded by your teammates, manager and front office for handling a demotion and change in position and positively contributing to the team in a playoff race. IT'S ALL JUST CODDLING HIS BABY BRAIN. When everyone loved his walk-up music it just made him SOFT AND WEAK.

I will be checked many times on this undoubtedly, but so long as nobody was raped or murdered lets get the whole story together first. His girlfriend was allegedly choked and HIDING IN THE BUSHES when the police arrived. He discharged a firearm 8 times and had to be locked in a room by his friends. Bargain bin jokes might strike some folks as a bit flat. Fair point on the jokes. Anyway some things here with your post: 1 - Allegedly choked should definitely be the one capitalized over the bushes, which wouldn't help if he was actually looking to hurt her. She also allegedly attacked him first after sparking the incident at all by going through his phone first. 2 - He fired the gun at nothing but his own garage wall, which he locked himself in to do, before his friends helped him out by locking him in another room. The Cubs were never going to trade for him, you jamoke. Stop tying yourself into knots pointlessly defending a lunatic.
