    I would do it simply for the opportunity to humiliate Kyle's favorite player.

    He is a better human being and that is all that matters.

    I think the Wild are better than you are giving them credit for. They really outplayed Colorado for a lot of their first series and were very strong down the stretch. In the end the Hawks have too much talent for them, but if the breaks go the wrong way for the Hawks this series could be lost. On a side note, I understand getting Brookbank a game and it is not like Leddy is tearing it up. But how is Versteeg still getting ice time? I'd still like to know why he was brought back in the first place. This organization has a weird affinity for him.

    That's just because you think anyone who dares find anything positive about the organization means they approve of every last thing, and refuse to acknowledge otherwise. Of course that's an idiotic misrepresentation of the truth, but that's what makes an apologist an apologist.

    The primetime and multiple day airing has killed my enthusiasm. The draft is ideal saturday afternoon background noise in the spring. But it blows as primetime television and spread across half a week. The fact that it is May has nothing to do with it for me. It being 2 weeks later means 2 more weeks of talking about it instead of just doing it well, I don't watch ESPN or listen to sports talk so that doesn't affect me.

    I frequently wonder if that isn't by design this year. Our best option is probably Samardzija, but he seems determined to be classy. I don't see that determination, personally.

    Attitude issues? Is this because he pointed out the obvious that no smart veterans want to partake in the farce the Cubs organization is performing.

    I called you out for histrionics (again) because it's tired and stupid. I used Kyle as the "gold standard" for useless thick-headedness, and he mistakenly took that to mean that he was somehow relevant to the discussion. I find those sorts of personal attacks inappropriate.

    Of course not. Look, the Cubs have some sort of budget constraints. The Cubs have also tried to get free agents that would have been productive for the major league club. The Cubs missed on those free agents because of budget constraints. Jose Abreu was a free agent who wasn't as good as the ones the Cubs targeted. He was had at a reasonable price due to his lesser abilities and older age. There was no place for him on the Cubs. Had the Cubs needed a first baseman, they may have made a run at him. And the end of the day, I don't think that is Abreu the case study for how to build at the major league level via free agency. It smells of media meatballery and gushing over a pleasant surprise at the beginning of the season. Would this article would have been written if Abreu weren't outperforming his peripherals? Does it matter? Yes, because we're talking about rebuilding, not being hot for a month. No, we're talking about fielding a competitive team while in the process of contending. Or put another way, the notion of rebuilding without taking a multi-year dive.

He's not the case study, but he is a perfectly reasonable example that plays for a team in the same city as the Cubs and happen to be playing them the day it was written. there's nothing wrong with this.

    2012 campaign season.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    well.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    How does that make him a bad example? Because he isn't perfect?
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Trade Questioned in connection to a double homicide. There's nothing illegal about killing hopes and dreams.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Oh that's right, the reputation was that he went to teams who lost Stanley Cups.

    Isn't Boston/Montreal on before? Are they switching to NBCSN after that game? Not according to the guide. It stays on CNBC and NBCSN will air an NHL postgame thing and then some BPL show later.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Of course they should and could be drastically better. But the same was true the last few years. The Cubs haven't tried to get better and it is kind of hard to accomplish a goal you are not trying to achieve.

    Put me down as someone who thinks he is a great player. He gets screwed when it comes to selke conversation, probably because he doesn't take many face-offs. Been a consistent scorer on some very good teams the last 5 yrs. I think some of the things that may make him underrated are: 1. Began career on Ottawa, good team playoff flopper. 2. Prime years were played in Atlanta. 3. late prime years he has been very good but on teams that had Crosby, Malkin, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Toews, and Kane. Not that he is not at their level or close, he just has never had the star appeal that those 6 have. He also has a reputation as being a good player whose teams won cups after he left. And there are a handful of fanbases that stupidly boo him aggressively based on old grudges.
