I dislike how Branden Looper is inexplicably good. Thats all, I'll be watching the bulls. P.S. i know he's not on the mound.
-
We have Marquis on the mound, remember.
-
Best lineup the Cubs have trotted out in a few years.
-
You guys need to stop changing your names to ubiquitous first names and/or random Colts players. Seriously, its getting hard to keep track who is who.
-
Hunter gives them champagne and thats how they repay him? Throwing a ball in the mouth? Unbelievable. :roll: :lol:
-
You need different friends/family. When your best friends are the ones that link you to FJM.com and lend you Moneyball, you know they're good people.

I don't think we're all saying you'll be wrong. But we had a series of threads like this all season last year, so there's some comedy in this....even if you didn't mean it to be funny. I remember a thread last year that said "OH man, we only have to win 66% of our games to get back to .500 by september!" Oh wow, thats so easy, only a few historically great teams ever did it before!

+1 +1 Thirded.

The interest in Peterson is kinda worrying/exciting. Although we'd be kinda "wasting" a pick again, could you imagine how good our running game would be with Peterson? (I'm assuming we trade Benson or something)

I really, really want Greg Olsen and then Anthony Gonzalez. Fixed. I'd be surprised if either of those guys are there at 31. I don't think TE is as big of a concern as WR. I'd like to land Jarrett and then Grubbs for OG. Anthony Gonzalez in the first round? I'd be surprised if he went that high, but you know, he is an underrated prospect.

Holy Crap, you pretty much repeated what I said.

Barry Bonds is hitting the snot out of the baseball
BigSlick replied to TB_11's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Also that he and...*sigh* Pujols...get to 800 home runs. -
The hyperbole in this thread is astouding. None of the people saying that his power was leaving him never said he wasn't a vastly valuable player, but a lot of his value came from his power. If he can still hit .300+ get on base 40% of the time and still slug more than .500 he's an incredible valuable player and one of the best 15 or so players in the whole major leagues. He just wont be the best like he was in 2005.

Jake Peavy has nine consecutive strikeouts.
BigSlick replied to Mephistopheles's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Go Brandon Webb... :cry: -
Its still somewhat meaningless...if we keep outscoring opponents, we're going to start winning games. I just hope the Pitchers don't get all bummed about being time and time let down by the hitting and just stop giving a crap.

4/25 Other Games
BigSlick replied to Transmogrified Tiger's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Argh. Every game has been rough on my players. C.C. starts off well and then combusts, then when it looks like he'll steal a win, Borowski, one of my closers, blows it. -
Antoine Walker looks like he's about to cry everytime I see his face.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/o/ontivst01.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/t/tidrodi01.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CHC/ The 1979 Cubs, 80-82. I was 10 and they broke my heart. 80-82 marked the high water mark until 1984 when they re-broke my heart OH sweet, average baseball players.

Tillman and Briggs are two prime examples. Both were considered reaches when we drafted them. Then there's guys like Anderson, who were just sitting around for no reason at all. Berrian was kind of like that. It's good to have a GM who doesn't flap just because everyone else is, and is capable of picking up that great value. The only flaw is the spotty 1st round performance, and I still can't really figure out why he misses so often with the big picks. Pressure to deliver a superstar? I'd rather he trade down in the top 25 or so picks. So he'll pick up Danieal Manning (A fine backup/starter in a pinch) and Devin Hester (a superstar in waiting) rather than one bust. But in the 31 spot, I think that pressure is lifted, and he can finagle what he'd like to do. Maybe thats a big reason why he didn't make the trade to the 6 spot with Briggs.

Apples and oranges. The Bulls won 75% of their home games this season. The Cubs won 54% of their home games in 2003. Not to mention the Cubs won game 6 that year. And no amount of logic, reason, "truth", or therapy will ever get me to believe differently. The only reality is the Party's reality. Doublethink. I love Big Brother.

Bears draft this weekend !

Murton getting benched again for lesser player
BigSlick replied to RegulusBlue's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Sure I can. He started teh day with a sub .300 OBP, and his supposed power isn't showing. He's still a fat bastard who can't play defense. -
Obviously you were not alive in the 70's Oh, for the days of Steve Swisher, Jerry Morales, and Ivan DeJesus. Now that was some baseball. Steve Swisher fathered Nick Swisher. http://files.myopera.com/Eddie_Lopez/blog/The_More_You_Know.jpg[/img] Steve Onteverios was on some of those teams with Dick Tidrow. http://files.myopera.com/Eddie_Lopez/blog/The_More_You_Know.jpg I wish I knew who those people were.
