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. I don't care much about the draft being pushed to May but the multiple day is just killer. I wouldn't have minded round one on a weekday at primetime if the rest of the draft was on Saturday. And of course MLB decided to follow that pattern and extend the draft. The MLB one is crazy to me since they just started making it an event to watch and still do not know how to properly hype/rationalize the pick. Every selection is compared to the guy currently playing that position at the major league level on that team. They have a product worth watching, but diluting that product before it ever became popular in the first place seems misguided to me.

He was traded because they got enough value in the trade, questioned his health/ability to live up to an extension and knew they weren't going to be any good in the next few years. The hot head stuff is just a side story. -
That's not fair.

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. No, when his Twitter tirade happened, railing against women, it was noted that this was well known within baseball. You think Garza's misogynist views were unique enough to be considered a red flag attitude problem? You think having those views on women is OK apparently? Seriously? That is your interpretation of what I said? Just to clarify, my point is that being an [expletive] is pretty much par for the course for major league baseball players. The truly decent and nice guys are not the norm. And half of them get criticized by baseball people as being too soft.

I don't follow how that humiliates Vitters. Major league player.

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.

2014 Defending SC Champion Blackhawks playoff thread
jersey cubs fan replied to UMFan83's topic in Other Sports
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.

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.

Is The Ricketts Family the worst thing to...

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. -

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.

Because it replaced the naea with ownl?

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 5-6-14

He [expletive] his pants. haha -
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.
