Ron Santo Scaling Back Broadcasting Duties
abuck1220 replied to Mark Priors Calves's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
yeah, i kinda doubt kyle farnsworth was thinking about leon durham and what not when he took the mound in the '03 playoffs. you guys are assuming that whatever random players are wearing cub uniforms at any given time give two shits or even know about 1984 or whatever. -
Ron Santo Scaling Back Broadcasting Duties
abuck1220 replied to Mark Priors Calves's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
see there you go not knowing the cubs as well as i do (and thus being less of a fan than me). not only do i know the cubs won't win a WS in the next 50 years, i can accurately call "GAME OVER" in the second inning of 1 run games. that's how great of a fan i am. -

the more you believe the cubs won't win a world series, the better fan you are. because then when someone is like "hey, i like the cubs, i think they'll win the world series this year," you can be like "oh no, you naive young man, I KNOW the cubs and i have been a fan for a billion years and watched all their games and I KNOW they won't win the world series and that's because i'm smarter than you about the cubs and you don't understand all the suffering i've been through." your self pity gives your life purpose. -
[expletive] 25 points for neftali feliz by thursday. sure, why not.
-
neftali feliz just killing me...
-
danks, hanson and johnson all with 25+ point starts...too bad paulino had to make his hand sanitizer debut with -18. by the way, brennan boesch (1.019 OPS, three exemptions) is available.
-
i agree. if you're referring to posada/buck, though, that's not what happened. he played buck on monday since nyy were off and then put posada in the lineup for the rest of the week (presumably). posada's been off the DL since last week.

Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks Thread!!!!!!

kid rodelo has made a mid-week substitution again. posada in for buck. either take buck's 14 points away or posada's 4.75 and put buck back in his lineup. and as i pointed out in the week 10 thread, he picked up morrow mid-week last week and shouldn't get the points he scored for him. i don't think anybody made that point change.

THANK YOU, FINALLY SOME FOCUS.
-
jeez, that was quite the assault.
-
yes, jim hendry is going to look to this thread to decide whether to fire lou and if he sees it's an unorganized mess, he won't even bother. let's get our ducks in a row, people.
-
can we please focus on the fact that the one guy thinks soriano couldn't get $1.4 mil if he was a FA tomorrow?
-
but not
-
i am amazed that you really think that if soriano was a FA at the end of this season, he would not get a contract that exceeded 1.6 mil.
-
only if these are really big hands.

They wouldn't want to pay anything. The question is would they take him period if they had to pay only the league minimum? I'm sure some teams would, but only one that (a) an American league team and (b) had zero better options now or for the forseable future. that's absurd. you're saying ZERO national league teams (and most american league teams) would take him for $400,000 a year right now? ZERO. That's what I'm saying. B/c it wouldn't just be for this year it would be for the remainder of his contract. right. and you're saying NO team would give him a 4 year/$1.6 mil contract. and you're absolutely wrong.
-
seems to me he's bounced back since last year and thus not trending in the wrong direction. Let's wait until this year is over before we make that distinction. ok, we'll see if he finishes below 0.0 this year.

i mean if you ignore 2007, 2008 and what he's done so far in 2010, soriano has been terrible as a cub.
-
in what will certainly be complete jinx, i wanted to point out that josh johnson has an era of 0.26 in five starts since i traded for him. ONE run in 35 innings...ONE!
-
i don't think anyone has ever said he's a defensive liability. i think morons assume he must be bad defensively since he's good offensively. every team has an "offensive catcher" and a "defensive catcher," therefore soto is the offensive one and hill is the defensive one (even though hill isn't anything special defensively...way to chicken out and not turn the game-ending DP last night, "defensive catcher").
