You'd think he would have wanted a contract that paid him sooner. -
Adam Wainwright injures achilles, could be done for year
Sammy Sofa replied to ctcf's topic in General Baseball Talk
I'd say I wish this drove him to drink, but...y'know. -
I did a zip code search of weather for where I was golfing yesterday and there was 0% precip from 6am to 2pm yesterday. It rained from 6am to noon. NEVER trust/believe people/things who/that report/declare weather. OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Shots fired, son.

Change your name to Rainout Fan.

[expletive], that's pretty bold; few people are worth Ryan Sweeney-money.
-
Treat Williams.
-
Because they suck, the Angels will likely pay for most of it, and it's a meatball-pleasin' kinda PR move.
-
What? That's the best kind of first round; get it over with quickly and cast off the dead weight and get to the good [expletive].
-
I could see that, ok lets say Russell is doing well too and both kids justify playing everyday in the show. What do you do at that point assuming we are still contending come June? you obviously put Bryant in LF Yeah, that's the obvious easy solution.
-
If Baez somehow comes back from the brink I could see them doing a Baez/Russell swap unless Russel is just killing it.

Why I don't talk baseball with people I know
Sammy Sofa replied to Sammys Boombox's topic in General Baseball Talk
That's surprising; Cubs fans love saying it. -
Ouch. We'll never be able to live up to the long legacy of Milwaukee football. Sorry, Brandon; if all you have is that their ridiculously awesome football team isn't technically in Milwaukee then the burn was never meant to be in the first place.

The specific stupid things, like thinking Castro is some kind of hopeless cancer that they must trade, or they don't have a chance since they got rid of Tyler Colvin/Darwin Barney/Bryan LaHair, that stuff I enjoy talking over with them, but the bigger "they're the Cubs, so everything will [expletive] up" you can't really do anything with because so far history is on their side. It's annoying as hell, but it's not like they're wrong. -
Man in the past 2 weeks Ive seen people rip Pat Hughes and now Chuck Swirsky. What's the problem with him? Would you rather Neil Funk? Swirsky does the same thing Hughes does. Wayy too much excitement in his voice when bad stuff happens. His voice is what tells me how to feel and it's confusing and infuriating. Yeah, Hughes getting excited for the opposing team was always a pain, but it's definitely gotten worse, plus he just seems a lot more absentminded, like he's trying to make up for Santo being gone. He used to sound/act a lot more like his mentor Uecker, and I wish he'd go back to that.

[expletive], Rose is [expletive] killing it this series. Guy is playing like he wants to shut everyone up.
-
I don't want to spend this kind of money on relievers, but I'm also very scared that Ramirez is basically dead.
-
Look, I just want an OF so amazing it induces me into a joy-coma on a regular basis. Is that too much to ask?
-
The most important question is how does this help us get Stanton playing next to him?
-
I want Jim Belushi to be invited back to do it just for the chance he falls to his death.
-
What.
-
to that end. What could work is a video montage of several Cubs (mostly) legends leading the stretch edited together, and maybe one clip of Harry at the end with the let's get some runs part. Yes, this. Fit in the various other Cubs announcers besides Harry who have done it, too.

YES. Old timey stuff is great. Chris Rock would not approve. Man, he had, like, one good point surrounded by a bunch of nonsense. And it has all been said before, yet, somehow, that was a groundbreaking and informative video clip. It's like every 10 years we hear about how baseball is dying and is doomed. That's probably been going on since about 1870. Baseball is printing money. Yeah, he's right that not many black kids care about baseball because of the lack of black stars these days, but it's not killing the game.

Probably? I'm fine with Bryant in CF, but was kind of surprised at the lack of response to pulling one of our best hitters so Travis Wood can pinch run, and only then when it became a 3-2 count. that's always justifiable to me, because if we reach the point where that matters it's a good thing, but i realize that might not be the most nuanced way to view the situation I get that it's worth pulling out the stops to get a tie because if you don't then the game's over anyway. But my opinion is the odds of a specific outcome in Bryant's(+) PA(s) resulted in Wood scoring(i.e. a specific double or BB followed by a specific single to score Wood only), but not Rizzo were so small as to not cancel out the risk of running a pitcher out to LF, along with whatever tradeoff you do to Bryant by stopping the game to sub Wood at 3-2 JEEZ, you were griping when they weren't living up to "every win is sacred," and now that they're actually acting like it YOU'RE STILL COMPLAINING. Nothing makes you happy. ...

I'll happily genuflect to this instead:
