Bears Offseason Thread (Trestman new HC, pg 37)
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
David Haugh with a misguided column saying it is a mistake to compare McClellin to Watt, and unfair to expect him to be much more than a competent starter this season. What the hell is so unfair to expect your first round pass rusher to be really good in his second year? These guys don't get 4-5 years to establish themselves. He's either going to make an impact now or he probably never will. He's a defensive end, not a QB. -
Patrick Mooney @CSNMooney 3m Matt Guerrier flying back to Chicago to get elbow examined by Cubs doctor. Eduardo Sanchez will rejoin team.

Last night I dreamt that I was in my fantasy draft without the slightest bit of preparation. Pathetic dream.

I assume you mean 10th in MLB and not just the NL.

Well, Barney's drop is starting from a lower high end, he's got no ceiling and he turns 28 this offseason. Those other guys are younger, and in the case of Castro he plays a position that doesn't require as much offense as Barney's does.

I cannot imagine that happening in a world where everybody knows the Cubs are acquiring any and all cheap labor they can get their hands on. If somebody was fooled enough into thinking this was sustainable, won't they have serious doubts once the Cubs think about dealing him?

starting?

you should love yourself as passionately

I find the notion that you care more about what people think of your school's football program than what they think of you absolutely fascinating. I mean it's hardly a unique phenomenon (most common among soccer hooligans and southerners), but it's just so bizarre. 1. Why would I care what anonymous internet jackasses think of me? Do you take this place that seriously that you are concerned how other posters view you? 2. I am not a southerner. I was born & raised in the Chicago suburbs. Why would you care what those anonymous internet jackasses think of AtM?

I still love you

8/6 Cubs (Jackson) at Phillies (Kendrick)
jersey cubs fan replied to Careless's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
wasn't there actually a real rally? -
If they ever get around to winning, they might get more slack. Yeah, because with a capped 110 mill type payroll and what they inherited, its easy as hell to turn that into a winner quick. Right it'll be another failure by Tom Ricketts What an oddly late response. Do you or do you not think Theo has had the ability to spend freely under Ricketts to this point? were you trying to say 3 years would be "quick" to turn a $110m payroll into a winning club?

I admit I had to google Peter Principle. Your statement is so freaking true. I find it odd that you had to google Peter Principle, but I have no idea how it applies here.

Ryan Braun suspended for rest of 2013
jersey cubs fan replied to Tangled Up in Plaid's topic in General Baseball Talk
http://deadspin.com/lolo-jones-live-tweets-getting-drug-tested-during-her-b-1045053608 oh lolo, you so silly Lolo Jones ✔ @lolojones I was chosen to be drug tested right before I left for my bday party, so the drug testers were obligated to shadow me until i peed in a cup. Lolo Jones ✔ @lolojones I changed my moms phone name to Ryan Braun and had her call my cell repeatedly while they were testing me. Mwhauauhaha, -
That is a tough call, but I'd lean toward Money Badger.

why aren't we a decent team?

No. They flat-sucked for 7 years, then they're working on their second losing season out of three when their window was supposed to be open. That would not be awesome. When the role models for your franchise's plan have broken .500 once in nine seasons, maybe it's time to take a step back and have some perspective. hey guess what we're the rays with a lot more money, frigging sweet. you have to keep couching your "examples" with situations that aren't analogous, it's worthless. What's worthless is full seasons of crappy major league baseball, and the Cubs are in their 4th consecutive, two of which will be on these guys' collective watch. It remains to be seen if they will have the Rays success. I would have assumed they could have been the Rays with more money at the outset, but what they've put on the field so far has put serious questions into whether they can actually pull it off. A good front office should be able to draft and develop quality players without having to tank for the top of the draft, and/or wait for their third season to compete. Extremely highly compensated front office supergroups should be able to do it with relative ease. These guys have been handed an easy job, just stock the farm and don't worry about results at the major league level. That's simple.

It's pretty ignorant to characterize the fan's desire to see his team win games as meatballish.

Yeah, that's exactly what I said. The point was that you have to build from within before you can successfully build from without. Not even the Yankees were exempt from this. No one is expecting the Cubs to become the Yankees, but the approach should be the same. And the guys I mentioned were merely very good before they were HOFers, and that was enough. And it was a few years on from when the Yanks re-emerged that they started "breaking the league" with their spending. That Yankees run was probably something that will not be replicated, by anyone. But its genesis was not in insane spending, it was in player development. Even when the Yankees were not yet running away with the payroll leaderboard, they were merely playing leapfrog with Baltimore. It's also not at all true that you have to build from within before you can successfully build from without. That may be the preferred method for some. That is the safe and more cost effective method. But it is also the much more time consuming and loss running up method. The only teams that have to build from within first are the truly poor ones or the rich ones who choose to be run excessively conservatively.

Look at you taking all your "dates" to a fancy Hilton instead of the typical motel.

Bears Offseason Thread (Trestman new HC, pg 37)
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
That theory is out there, but: http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/post/_/id/58831/will-young-have-enough-time-to-compete Of course the team is going to want to give off the impression he's not just a 2 week practice dummy. But my question is, can VY really pull off a read option impression at this stage?
