    I left out the obvious part that I figured I didn't have to go over it yet again because it's such common sense and it's been covered a zillion times: yes, if we lived in a fantasy world where a team was willing to take Soriano and his paycheck the Cubs should do it...but we live in the real world where any trade for Soriano would involve the Cubs almost certainly paying for at least half of his salary. So you either have Soriano (again, not blocking anyone in the system and not depriving the Cubs of a spot for an impact FA signing) for $18 million or, say, Willingham for all intents and purposes at least for $14 million (and Christ, he's awful this year, and he'd be 33 himself if the Cubs picked him up for next year), because there's almost no way the Cubs are pawning off Soriano without paying something like $9-12 million dollars a year for the rest of his contract. It's just not realistic. With or without Soriano, the Cubs are almost certainly paying WAY too much for their LF production for the next 3 seasons. you think willingham would cost 14 million for next year? by what math. [edit] he's making 6 million this year. he would have to go on quite a tear :roll: You don't ger this.

    I've seen LGBTQ and LGBTQQ. If it's only one, it'd typically be questioning. However, queer is not necessarily synonymous with "gay and lesbian" and several different folks have adapted it as a term to mean... well, lots of different things.

    I can't be alone in not getting this at all.

    Hardaway has done a lot to try and turn things around. How much of it is purely PR is unknown, but I know he's done something with the Trevor Project. And yeah, it's too bad they couldn't get more players. I'm kind of surprised Carlos Pena wasn't in it. Out of curiosity, why Carlos Pena? Because he's extremely well-read and intelligent and I have no problem with saying that homophobia and level of education are often inversely proportional. Stupid people dislike gays, smart ones don't.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcpkRL_5IYk There are only a few reasons to be proud to be a Cubs fan at the moment, but this is definitely one of them. Way to go Cubs organization and everyone who participated in the video.

    Last night's game really epitomized my apathy about the Cubs these days. I went with my boyfriend and two of my best friends. The Cubs offense looked anemic all day before having a really cool comeback and then blowing it in absolutely epic fashion. The thing is, I didn't really care. It was a beautiful day to lounge outside and drink some beer. The comeback was fun, but I got over one of the worst 9th inning choke jobs I've ever seen in all of about 5 seconds. It was one of the most fun nights I've had in ages. 5 years ago, I'm in a bad mood the next morning from that game. And honestly, I don't know if that has to do with the quality of the product on the field or me just growing out of it. Kyle's age theory got blasted to pieces, but I'm not sure I don't buy it in some cases. Just my two cents.

    Oh, so that's why he had a problem with Derrek Lee...

    This isn't exactly how I hoped they'd build momentum off yesterday.

    I just thought of this because of the Jack Brickhouse call in the Ron Santo documentary on TV right now. This is probably the best thing Len's ever done, does anyone have a video of it?

    Honestly, how long until Doug Davis is ready?
  12. inari
    Bleh.

    Why is the Rockies mascot a triceratops?

    Personal attack, probably. But the people who refuse to post anything but extreme negativity should really wallow by themselves.

    They've threatened pretty much every inning. But yeah, that was it!

    Starlin is [expletive] awesome.

    Someone with more knowledge of the minors than me - is Brett Jackson actually major league ready?
  18. inari
    Well, Demp has looked... bad.

    Who else can we bring into the deal?
  20. inari
    Wrong thread!
  21. inari
    What can you even say here?
  22. inari
    And what am I missing here - why is Marshall not pitching?
  23. inari
    Just forfeit and save the bullpen.
  24. inari
    Heh that makes two of us.
