    There's also a lot more hot chicks in NY and a lot less fat ones than in Chicago.

    I'm not sure why plate discipline is the only thing. He just sucks. His season numbers are bad, his current numbers are bad, his professional career numbers are bad.
  3. jersey cubs fan
    It's a lot easier to fire no name guys than legends.

    And ARod's earnings are dominated by his salary, while guys who make more in endorsements are behind him on that list.

    What they said was that you can make a killing without being Michael Jordan in New York. In Chicago you have to be Michael Jordan in order to have a chance to match New York's earning potential. Right and I think more than that. I think they said, in Chicago, you have to be better than Michael Jordan and you still may not earn as much as you would by being in NY and not being as good as Michael Jordan. I don't think it's the pitch I'd make to a kid that has multiple tattoos touting his greatness all over his body. I don't really get the idea that his NY earnings potential is higher than his Chicago earnings potential. It's not like he's doing personal appearances at local malls and card shows. His big earnings are going to come from a lifetime of gatorade/nike type ads, and those are going to be there whether he wins in NY or wins in Chicago. Derek Jeter didn't struggle to make money in NY with a lot less WS success than Mickey Mantle.

    To try to catch Brazil off guard, which obviously didn't work. That is what I figured and I thought what a weird way of overthinking a situation. The other guy would have taken so long to get there I'm not sure what kind of surprise advantage he thought he had.
  7. jersey cubs fan
    what was the point of that weird corner kick/tap?

    I bet Ricketts/Hendry didn't tell Lou that. We have a gutless organization from the top on down. If you can't get up for a [expletive] Dusty Baker team, in first place no less, then you have no place in this game. When I think "what games are easiest for players to get up for", it's definitely early July games against a Dusty Baker managed squad.

    With how he's performing in Ten. is it outside the relm of possability that he fights for a big league spot in March? Is it possible? Sure. I hope they give him a tad more time, though. The chances of this club being overhauled enough to be competitive for the playoffs in 2011 is fringy, imo, considering the limited financial flexibility. Maybe things change, but I think we should be targeting 2012, if not 2013, as the first year of our new window, and as such, I don't see the rush. I don't get the point of tying Jackson's timeline with that of a theoretical "new window" for the team. I'm not all that interested in bringing him up that soon, but if he is still hitting like a mofo, it would be hard to ignore. That being said, these aren't the A's. They don't have to worry as much about timing windows and such. If they get some improved production in a couple spots and a GM with a brain, they could be right back in it soon. Also, if Jackson's rookie year is 2011, he could be an established known commodity by 2012/2013 and make it easier to determine exactly what that team needs to get better.

    The horror. The horror. http://www.premiere.com/var/ezflow_site/storage/images/list/the-100-greatest-movie-lines/66.-the-horror-the-horror/532799-2-eng-US/66.-The-horror-the-horror_imagelarge.jpg

    It's not giving Lou a free pass. It's pointing out that when Lou isn't problem 1 or even problem 1-5, then having 5 pages of "Fire Lou rabble rabble rabble" a week seems like misplaced frustration. You say that as if there isn't 1000 other pages in other threads lamenting the crap job that Hendry has done, or the vacationing owner who hasn't pulled the trigger or all sorts of other stuff. Seriously, your complaint is empty. There is absolutely nothing wrong with people blasting a manager making the same stupid decisions repeatedly. Who gives a crap if he isn't a top 5 problem. He's part of the problem. Quit worrying about what bothers other fans about this team. We don't all have to follow some sort of mandated guideline dictating exactly what we can and cannot complain about and how much time we can spend complaining about which aspects of the Cubs.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    He is playing, all the time. It's not like this is some 27 year old who has run out of options. There's plenty of time to figure out Colvin. There should be no rush to determine right now or this offseason his exact role going forward.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    He could play every inning from now until October and there would still have to be questions about how future.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    I agree with the latter part of your post about reloading, but I don't know if I can predict next year. Obviously we're a playoff team with our top lines, and we've kept the D mostly in tact, assuming we keep Hammer. But considering how close the margin of error was in the Vancouver and SJ series....we won out with our depth. We could have lost both of those series last year...now all that depth is gone. I don't think I can predict how well we'll go until midway through the year. That's kind of why he said they were even with the other contenders.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    que paso?
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Versteeg looked like getting value for an overpaid player. Ladd was dumping a free agent they weren't going to resign. All they traded were the rights to him, generally that shouldn't be much.

    #1 does not seem likely to me. I think #1 is extremely likely. Why else would he go about saying those quotes after the Buff trade? Because they actually didn't need to make any moves but have still chosen to make deals.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    If he was just having a down year, I'd hate to hear boos. But he's had an epic collapse, so it's hard to complain.

    #1 does not seem likely to me.

    Plant yourself in Brooklyn or the Bronx for 10 min and you'll think different. Again, there's a very large area that is not in any way shape or form a slum, just like Chicago. It's a freaking big city all on its own.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    It's considered hip and cool, that why it matters. It's not Oklahoma City, Milwaukee or Sacremento. It's all the benefits of playing in NY, without having to play with the Knicks.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    I'm beginning to wonder if the assumption that Huet will be written off is wrong.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    that would be a shame
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Right. So what? If a guy has yet to impress in any way and you point out that a guy has yet to impress in any way it doesn't mean you are obligated to forfeit the rights to that player and give up any and all hope for his future. It just means you think he has yet to impress.

    It's not a black hole when they can add Bosh with him and have Harris, LeBron, Bosh and Lopez as 4/5 of their lineup. It's still Newark, New Jersey.
