  1. He was gung-ho on the entire idea of a rebuild and how Pujols was going to be old and broken down, and pretty much all of us yelled at him and told him how stupid that was, the Cubs obviously weren't going to do a rebuild. Not that it means he wasn't being stupid, it's just funny in retrospect. It was his jerkdom coming to fruition. I hope baseball hell killed him (inside).
  2. Now that I did not remember. I thought davhern became davearm, and you were always just David. Sorry. Was Davearm banned? I feel like I've seen people say he was crazy. He was like some crazy homeless man cursed to always be right with his ramblings but no one would ever believe him. What did he ever stumble over besides being adamant that Ricketts wasn't going to spend?

  5. Actually, I think I switched to Nuts&Gum, like, 5 years ago. that's right. how the [expletive] did i forget that? I did, too. I had to think about it for a second.
  6. it's not about him being right or wrong. he's obviously not dumb. he's just a high volume contrarian troll and that gets annoying. and he does it on every remotely related cubs corner of the internet. OK. That makes sense. Because I was going to say, he doesn't seem to be an idiot to me. Anyway, I'm impressed with how much people here know about each other. Like Idiot is called by his real name id assume and I think Sofa is called mojo. Where the [expletive] does this all come from? those are their former names on here. Like this guy used to be dextermorgan.

  8. True, though that bullpen has had to work its ass off lately.
  9. He's got a single! http://cdn.chud.com/9/92/900x900px-LL-92f90abc_abed-from-community-smiling.gif
  10. I want to believe that there was some next-level thinking behind it that we don't understand, but I think he just tilted and made a mistake. He did also trade Josh Donaldson with 4 years of arbitration left on his contract. He's made a few head-scratchers lately. Isn't he eligible next year? I think he was a Super 2 guy with 4 years of arbitration. He has three more years of control after this, though. Ah, gotcha. Thanks. Yeah, the Russell deal I get, but that one was odd.
  11. The Duke Silver has a sexy way with his words.

  14. am i even that high on soler? i just don't think he's going to suck long term. i don't think i've been effusive with soler praise at all this year. he does hit the ball obscenely hard on a consistent basis, though. he's top 15 in the league among guys with 150+ PA in average batted ball velocity. and most of the other guys on that list have been pretty good hitters. http://baseballsavant.com/apps/hit_leader.php?game_date=&abs=150&sort=3,1&type=batter Well, I was joking about stuff like this; we all know how hard he hits the ball, but so far it hasn't translated to much this season. Hope, hope, hope...
  15. "Jace Petersen" sounds like the villain from an 80's teen sex romp.
  16. Castro can actually make contact and get a fluke hit or two, pitchers know exactly how to pitch Soler if they need a strikeout Throw it five inches off the plate and get the umpire to still ring him up? This. Solers strike zone has been absurd and it's gotta [expletive] with his approach There's not really any evidence that Soler has been a victim of an unusual number of bad strike calls, and people have looked for it. It's just a meme that entered people's heads and confirmation bias took over, especially since it's more comforting than talking about what a dumpster fire he's been this season and how that's bad for his projection. Coming up fast behind it are your repeated efforts to make up the idea that nobody is expressing worry or frustration over Soler. It's not enough that a player has a crappy year; it has to be that only Kyle was smart enough to not be in denial over said crappy year. Don't mistake David's robotic hyperbole over Soler's muscly arms as speaking for everyone else.
  17. Hence: *SIGH*
  18. It doesn't freeze a lot for me, but the quality degrades for a minute or so before getting back to HD, and it often "hiccups" back a few seconds; like 3-4 times a game.
  19. Wait, they have Comcast but somehow not Comcast Sports? Or they have a different provider?
  20. Guys, really; you don't have to pretend like it wouldn't be awesome for the Cubs to have [expletive] you money. I wish they could shrug off things going badly like that.
  21. After acquiring Utley, the Dodgers' payroll now stands at $307 million. *SIGH*
