Bears Offseason Thread (Trestman new HC, pg 37)
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
I remember getting prepared to tee off on the 1st tee when the Bears picked him, and I'm pretty sure I was ecstatic. -
2.5 hours? Lieber scoffs
-
historically, this is about the time a hitting coach gets the axe
-
I don't know what it means but it can't be a good sign that gameday's blurb on DeJesus says, "hates to face fastball"
-
yes
-
you read it wrong. He's trying to say there's some sort of mutual blame and that it is unfair of the Cubs to not let him go.
-
I just noticed Moreland isn't doing the PBP during Pat's piss break. how new is that?
-
it has not gone unnoticed

That is absurd. If it is unrealistic for him to feel as though they should let him go, how can it possibly be unfair of them not to let him go? Well, he's right. Hence the speculation there may be some sort of mutual agreement to part ways with some, but not all, of his remaining salary to be paid. He is not right about it being unfair on their part not to let him go. That's a ridiculous statement.

So we could call you johnny cakes?

They should just act as professionally as possible from this point forward. You don't want to let a player weasel out of his contractual obligations, but you don't want to to gain a reputation as an organization that will F with players out of spite.

Once you've eaten it you no longer "have" it. What if I eat half of it? Then you have half a cake.

Random Cubs Musings: Minor League Edition
jersey cubs fan replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
My question was really more related toward why people seem to always skip over 2B when talking about where he'd play if he's blocked at SS and/or 3B. It came up specifically on MLBN yesterday and it wasn't really about where he'd be if he got bigger or lost a step. It was about where the Cubs could make room for him with Castro at SS and Bryant potentially slated for 3B. I have no idea why those guys would rather stick him in the OF than at 2B and I've seen other conversations on this exact issue go the same direction. Often the discussion then goes to "Well Baez's arm would be wasted at 2B" which is absolutely ridiculous to me....(but the MLBN guys didn't go that direction at all...they just didn't even mention 2B). Totally understand the idea that he might outgrow the infield or lose a step as he ages. Even if he loses a step 2B can still be the next stop. My guess is that while the focus may have been on what they will do with Castro around, there was still an assumption being made that he'd outgrow the middle infield. MLBN went crazy with talks about how this year's draftees affect the major league rosters of the teams that drafted them, immediately. It's just a talking point meant to fill airtime, not meaningful at all. -
He had already been rehabbing and doing horribly in AAA when he chose to accept his demotion back then. His April OPS was like 300, so he didn't have much hope of catching on in a place of his choosing. He's up past 1000 OPS in June, which probably makes him think he can pick his spot a little more freely, thus, the timing of his tirade. But this also wasn't his first bout of bitchiness on the twitter machine. Yeah, duh, I kind of glossed over the whole, he would have lost the money then point behind this issue.

Isn't Soler the RF of the future? -
it's fortunate for him that the coke was on the left side of his face as the camera zoomed in

6/11 Reds (Cingrani) @ Cubs (Garza) 7:05 PM WGN
jersey cubs fan replied to bukie's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Well, you are missing Arsenio Hall in the booth tonight. Nothing like tuning into a cubs game and having to listen to them struggle through an interview. Len and JD clearly ready to get back to baseball. I wouldn't say I was missing it... The only thing I like with Arsenio was Coming to America, and I think that was because I was 12 and there were boobs in the movie. And it was a fantastic film. -
Guess which Daytona Cub got the first call-up to the majors this season.

2013 Other Games Thread
jersey cubs fan replied to TruffleShuffle's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
my favorite part was the prison rape reenactment of #15 on the DBacks being bent over the dugout fence -
Any chance you can explain this? If a guy starts 20+ games at 4-5 positions over the course of a season or maybe starts 50 games at two spots, but someone else starts at that spot more, why is super sub a bad name to use? Because it's a stupid made up label arbitrarily handed out to players depending on the status of the rest of the roster. It's as bad as Merrill Hoge's "factorback"
-
and that super sub is a made up thing
