    Obviously I would be fine with either of them. The way this off season has gone thus far, you'd have to think Ricketts is far from done and landing one of these two will put the cherry on top.

    In the end, will Albert take less to stay in STL or take more to come here or another team? This would be like Favre agreeing to go to the Bears and I'm sure it will weigh heavily in Albert's decision. However, he has to know he would own the 3rd biggest market in all of sports. That in itself is attractive.

    No it doesn't. No it doesn't. No it doesn't. It does not go against what he said. He mentioned prime age for players and really having to look at it when players pass their prime. Like I said, this is Pujols, though. His emphasis was on making sure that the contract you give out pays for expected production during that contract instead of paying for past performance. If they expect that Albert will provide sufficient value during the course of his deal, the Cubs will be players. Well, we know Albert will provide more than sufficient value, so we are indeed players :). As I said, this column made me excited.

    For those of us who are skeptical about whether or not the Cubs are going to spend, the buzz around Baseball is that the Cubs are going to make a serious run at him. :yahoo: Kinda goes against what Theo said, but we are talking about Pujols. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/page/rumblings111110/exploring-market-free-agents-albert-pujols-prince-fielder

    Yet again, nobody is saying he sits there actively hating everything and everything about all non-white players. The point has been that he routinely falls back on lazy criticism borne out of racial stereotypes time and time again with non-white players that he has a beef with. Hmm, perhaps it's because the players in question just happen to be hispanic? Na, couldn't be that.
  8. Hollandsworths mug
    Spoken like a guy who has added nothing to the discussion.
  9. Hollandsworths mug
    Out of curiosity, did he give any examples of the underperforming, uncaring veterans? No one has ever claimed that every thing Kaplan ever said follows in some hideous pattern of racism. He's a simpleton, and as such has to fall onto dumb stereotypes to even have an opinion. A favorite pastime of his is questioning the effort of players, and in a funny coincidence, there's quite a pattern of hispanic players getting the full brunt of his criticism. He's not calling for Jim Crow MLB, he's a moron who can't think of anything more interesting to say then the baseball equivalent of "WOMEN BE SHOPPIN". To be 100 percent honest, I do not remember if Kaplan or Hollandworth mentioned specific players. However, they stuck up for the hispanic/brown Castro and felt Quade was way out of line.
  10. Hollandsworths mug
    Trick? Na, I posted facts.
  11. Hollandsworths mug
    Except that they wanted Quad to "light a fire" under whom? Hint: usual targets. He thought Castro was being treated poorly by Quade, which would go against all of what is being spewed in this thread.
  12. Hollandsworths mug
    But if Kaplan is a racist, he would have agreed with Quade and said that Castro needs to prepare better. I think Kaplan is a pretty big fan of the hispanic Starlin Castro. So, next.
  13. Hollandsworths mug
    I will give yet another example. On Cubs post game over the summer, Quade absolutely RIPPED Castro for losing a ball in the sun. Kaplan and Hollandsworth thought it was bush league to call out Castro (he of the hispanic race) and not blast the underperforming, do not give a rats ass vets. Kinda puts the "race card" to rest.
  14. Hollandsworths mug
    Lazy hispanic.
  15. Hollandsworths mug
    Too easy: Sandberg: Never cheated. Sosa: He had that whole broken bat thing.
  16. Hollandsworths mug
    Racist.
  17. Hollandsworths mug
    Those damned brown players.
  18. Hollandsworths mug
    Proof?
  19. Hollandsworths mug
    Bust.
  20. Hollandsworths mug
    Ronnie Cedeno? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Now you guys are reaching. Na, he didn't suck or anything.
  21. Hollandsworths mug
    I think there's a certain amount of systemic racism in the way players are perceived, yes. So now we lump Demp in?
  22. Hollandsworths mug
    So Steve Stone, Bob Brenly, Lou Piniella, Ryan Dempster and countless other baseball managers and executives all must be racist because they call certain latin players out for not hustling or being idiots? Good logic. Bobby V: "Castro needs to get his head in the game" (or something like that when he was looking back at the outfield). What a racist comment. Keep him out of Chicago.
  23. Hollandsworths mug
    It's not racism how he dislikes players who are bad. It's racism how he inevitably falls on racial stereotypes to describe them. Are we talking about A-Ram here? Has he called Z lazy? http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/david-kaplan-chicago-sports/carlos-zambrano/ And because of this he is a racist? Wow!
  24. Hollandsworths mug
    This is asinine. The fact that he thought Todd Hundley was a jerk does not disprove anything. No, he thought he was a worthless teammate and a bad player. Which, in fact, he was. Nothing to do with race with Hundley.
