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.

Sammy Sofa replied to Sammys Boombox's topic in General Baseball Talk
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:

YES. Old timey stuff is great.

If they're going to play classic calls going back to Brickhouse and [expletive] nobody cares because that would be pretty cool.

Addison Russell is awesome and deserves a thread
Sammy Sofa replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He's not the best option for winning right now; he's the best option for winning later in the season. I think that's why they were motivated to bring him up now, because he's just replacing garbage in terms of his position and spots in the lineup. -
If my legacy is only that my tombstone says "He hated Harry Carey" then I will have died a happy man.

Sammy Sofa replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Why's that? He's succeeded at every level, shown he has all the talent in the world, and he's just replacing garbage production in the lineup. I'd rather that production be coming right now from a guy who is likely going to be good than bums. You're not actually making the team worse right now by putting him in there to try and work through things. -
I don't know about ghoulish so much as monstrous with that slobbering, jowl-y mug being displayed a couple stories high. The could easily induce things like premature labor and strokes.

4/22 Cubs (Hammel) @ Pirates (Worley) 6:05 CSN
Sammy Sofa replied to David's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Hasn't it been four games? No. He didn't have it on for the previous 2 games, and I think he only wore it once at Wrigley. -
4/22 Cubs (Hammel) @ Pirates (Worley) 6:05 CSN
Sammy Sofa replied to David's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
This was a weirdly mostly snow-free winter until the end. The big snow didn't hit until like a few days after I moved, thankfully. -
Unless they were banned for hideous racism, misogyny, homophobia or kid touching, I say let 'em back in. With half of these people it seems like they were banned for being too goofy and/or dumb. Let's just take this approach:
