  1. How long has it been this bad? We complain about the screwups and bad choices of the NFL and the MLB all the time, but this just seems so next-level.
  2. There was little reason to move him in the offseason; he was a player that you could expect to be productive, Baez had just had a disastrous showing and Russell hadn't been up yet. You're not going to jump and move the one guy among them who actually could have been called a sure thing at the time and move him then, because the expectation was you'd likely be able to move him (if so desired) during or after the season and his value would still be high.
  3. I agree; his continued presence the 4-spot is baffling. Not that it's news to anyone here, but among qualifying Cubs hitters, Castro ranks as follows: wOBA: Last (.278) BB%: Last (3.7%) LD%: Last (16.4%) GB%: First (60.3%) Soft%: First (24%) He might be the least well-suited position player to bat in that spot. Move him down until he gets right. This is just so depressing to read. He was someone I think pretty much everyone just assumed would be a lock to be productive.
  4. I feel like you should be sitting in the back of an ambulance right now, wrapped up in a blanket while someone brings you hot coffee. It's going to be OK.
  5. So, soccer guys...what's the deal with FIFA? Do most of you look at them as a necessary evil, or a corrupt organization that needs to be burned down? I've been following this stories from Qatar and the corruption just seems beyond the pale.
  6. SCHWAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRBER.
  7. It's hilarious how they're not even trying to pretend that the "stakes" of the movie aren't exactly the same as the stupid, stupid TV show. "OH MY GOD, IF VINCE'S MOVIE BOMBS HE'S TOTALLY DONE, BRO."
  8. "I don't know what happened; he seemed like he was a such a nice guy when we were signing him to an NFL contract."
  9. Even if Castro was good Castro I wouldn't want him hitting 4th over Soler or even Coghlan at this point.
  10. Hub Arkush is the absolute worst: http://chicagofootball.com/2015/05/25/hub-arkush-chicago-bears-had-no-choice-but-to-release-ray-mcdonald/a5vwhp6/
  11. No offense intended, but is tinkertini26 a real person? It's seems like they're either always last or damn near last for the last few years.
  12. [glow=red]FDB[/glow]
  13. Hmmmmmm. Drop Cano Add Headley
  14. The stat is stupid and pointless. What's its actual purpose? Yeah, it's not like it's on the level of things like batting average or even RBI's, which are misused but are still actually telling you something and have some value. Pitching W/L basically tells you nothing.
  15. this is such a weird crusade you're on it's not happening any time soon lol http://cdn1.theodysseyonline.com/files/2015/03/22/63562597142357063586824919_qaqUHe7Yq-Djsw_P4PVpgLV_GPntxD-yrGsYK3UgmzJL3jJ96l7ia2e8x7wb0Ks4MMGT1MqP8i7gPs03n95fCMgcaf9LkKU-1HNZUZ5GattfyrDj3pMcJ3P8TUTNspAs_f-P4VE
  16. Those were quotes from when he signed in March. Holllllllllllly [expletive], how did I miss that. This team can seriously go off and [expletive] itself. I hope they have a piddling season that results in a shitty draft pick.
  17. At least half of the lineup is made up of garbage people at any given moment; the rest is made up of babies and Rizzo and Fowler, and almost everyone strikes out a ton. I think expecting them to regularly be offensive juggernauts at this point is jumping the gun just a wee bit.
  18. Just move him down in the lineup.
  19. A handsome, terrible man.
  20. No, no; he's about to be traded because Schwarber is coming up. Spread the word.
  21. Yeah, looks like it. And for a second I couldn't see the ump at all in the top pic, and everything seemed so much better.
  22. Is he still standing closer to the plate?
