Is The Ricketts Family the worst thing to...
rocket replied to JoseHernandez18's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
i like how he edits all his posts and they still don't make sense -
http://joeposnanski.com/joeblogs/votto-matta-you/ Great Posnanski article. It's unbelievable how many Reds fans I know who think Votto is severely overrated, because he doesn't move runners over or get enough RBI's. They don't deserve him.

what other teams are looking for managers? it seems like he won't struggle to find a managerial job if the cubs one doesn't pan out. but that could be different if the cubs are really the only team left with a managerial vacancy

no kidding, they were really reaching for something interesting about that title win. if the giants clinch the world series at home sometime, they'll only mention in passing about how it's the 1st time since 1922 they won at home (and 1st time ever in san fran!!!!!!!!!!!!)

He's busy being drunk. so now's the perfect time to lowball him

also, one of the better parts of recent cubs history is any carlos zambrano at bat.

is american league baseball really THAT much more fun to watch than national league baseball for you? you probably shouldn't follow the cubs if nl baseball is so miserable. i'm pretty sure i'm allowed to like the cubs and dislike the fact that the league they play in is behind the times and plays a less entertaining version of baseball than the other league. my point is, how much more exciting is having a dh? any great hitter is going to have a job in mlb, regardless of the dh rule, they'll field somewhere. and your average #9 hitter in the al vs. the pitcher batting isn't some giant difference that just shakes the foundation of the game and creates a more exciting spectacle. the #9 spot is almost always a crappy hitter no matter what the league.

hey, i'm all for juicing the ball and pumping players full of ped's. Then why would you be against the DH? EDIT: Unless I'm misunderstanding your previous post. i guess since growing up i pretty much watched only nl baseball, it's just more pleasing for me to watch. i like the extra strategy of deciding whether to pinch hit for a pitcher or let him bat in an important situation, double switches, and all that jazz that goes with the pitcher batting. and regardless, i don't think having a dh adds nearly all the extra offense and fun times to a baseball game that david lets on.

I've never understood this argument. It's not like all of a sudden the AL teams can only have 24 guys on their rosters. This would actually make it more likely that a marginally talented hitter would get a roster spot as a defensive replacement just about every game. There would still be the same number of players on rosters, they'd just be arranged a bit differently. They wouldn't agree to losing 15 job spots that make s crapton more money than some random all glove Rey Ordonez type who gets onto a roster as the 25th man. What he said. then expand the roster to 26 or 27

what the hell is an interesting matchup between 2 rival teams that a lot of america would like to see doing on a monday night? -
Also posted in the game thread, but this is important. The St. Louis radio call of the pickoff is even more amazing than you're imagining. http://wapc.mlb.com/play/?topic_id=11493214&content_id=31189779

Holllllllllllllllllllly [expletive]. That is just awful. But not in the least bit surprising. And as I told the GF, you'd probably see something similar from just about every fanbase, though probably not quite as extreme as this is. Probably, but other fanbases have the decency to not call themselves the best and classiest fans
