    Rob, I hereby put you in charge of respectfully arguing with anyone who makes repetitive dumb arguments.

    Can the Bulls really bring in anyone on an MLE that would be more than a 4th option? And the only young tradable talent the Bulls have are Asik and Gibson, both of which are limited in their own ways.

    I like it....get all the issues out. The whole saga of NSBB in general fascinates me. I get the impression that a lot of people even prefer having this closed community of 25-50 long time posters discussing everything and anything. I'd prefer 26-51 if you know what I mean.

    I suggested Tony Allen last year, but somebody pointed out he has certain issues with Chicago area people(be they gangs or neighborhood, I can't recall, but basically Chicago isn't a real safe area for Tony to reside)

    Let me get this straight, you think a guy with an MBA from U of C is too stupid to realize low attedance = bad.

    The bad baseball was one thing, but that Undercover Boss appearance still chaps my ass.

    People who quit baseball because of the strike should burn in hell.

    I hope Phil Rogers writes an article supporting my viewpoint on sports, that'll show you all!

    Congratulations, you guys are on the same page as Steve Rosenbloom.

    Yeah, the Other Sports and Social forums keep quite active. They tend to skew older. Do you have perform an age survey I'm not aware of? The funny thing is, a 16 year old CT pretty much kept the social forum alive the first couple years of the website 3 White Stripes threads per day.

    Kyle, in your extensive research, at what age to people stop following the NBA and NFL?
  14. SouthSideRyan
    I think you're low on virtually all your salary estimations, as well as what it would take to get Mayo. Obvious caveat based on the new CBA.

    How exactly was Wells treated with kid gloves late last season?
  16. SouthSideRyan
    And you're continuing to act like Wells converted from catcher like last year. This is his 7th professional season as a pitcher. He's had plenty of build-up in his arm to handle a full season.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    Again, you keep acting like Wells went from 100 innings in '09 to 190 in '10, it's not the case.

    We went over this before. Soriano and Johnson are the only ones that should be "expected" (I guess Garza as well due to the rain delay) That's simply not true. Cashner is a reliever who was yoyoed last year and then shoved into a starting role he was clearly not ready for. He was a 4+ inning pitcher for the most part in the minors and the last time he pitched when it counted he was a reliever. You can't treat a young arm with such limited use that way and expect it to go swimmingly. Wells was converted to pitcher and got stretched out in a hurry from a 100-120 inning pitcher to a nearly 200 inning pitcher. That's rough on an arm. Soto has been hurt every year. He's an unathletic catcher, that's going to be lead to DL stints. And then there was the reckless use of Garza. Byrd was the only weird one. Cashner was hurt after 5 innings. If he was hurt after 150, you'd have a point. On Wells I told you this last time. He went to 190 in '09, no issues. 195 in '10, no issues. Additionally as you mentioned prior, he's a converted catcher, meaning he had less miles on his arm than the average guy his age. Soto was never on the DL in '08. He hit it for 1 15 dayish trip each in '09(when he was fatty fat fat) and '10. Hardly a pattern.

    4M is still a pretty sizable amount to take on at the deadline for a less than elite player.

    Not saying that the franchise is in trouble.. but you DO realize that we're talking about the Cubs, right? THEIR UNIFORMS ARE CURSED
  23. SouthSideRyan
    Read that again. Meaning that top organiztions do not use: "injuries" as an excuse when things go bad. They say everyone has injuries and we have to play better. They consistently win because they have the talent to overcome injuries and do not have to use the injury card. You got all that from Ricketts's quote?

    Read that again.

    Owners aren't there to show fire and passion.
