    Oh, OK. I thought it was just random times when he wasn't around.
  2. Soul
    By the way, where is Pat today?
  3. Soul
    You just know something happened that Ron didn't like. Could be nothing. Could something actually bad.
  4. Soul
    Geez.

    I guess "or else" was supposed to mean "or else you become a bench player." Doubtful. I also heard Kaplan say last night he expects Soriano will be released in the next 12 months. I found that to be an incredibly wild statement to make. Ricketts is really going to eat $72 million dollars?

    It's called playing the percentages. It's what smart managers do to win ballgames. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wr6RQ1OrNEQ/SoOnaFWucLI/AAAAAAAAA0g/6VHHTFVLe08/s400/Mr.Burns.baseball.jpg But seriously, I give the Cubs credit that they are trying to do what is best for the team and not handling Soriano with kid gloves. Of course, but that doesn't really answer his question. Sure Lou should make the right call to win ballgames, but that doesn't mean it doesn't say anything about Soriano and his contract, which is the (ever continuing) point when it comes to Fonz.

    There are. Lou doesn't know how to use them. Caridad, for example, would be very useful when our starter has just given up a slam and we're now down by 10.

    Coming through late under pressure. Man, that's fun.

    I feel stupid for not saying it before the season: I definitely felt like Marmol would be less wild in the closer role.
  10. Soul
    K! Hahah!
  11. Soul
    I'm with you.

    Crazy game, man. Crazy game.

    It's settled then. Anyone with half a brain knows these simulations are always spot-on, and the other teams who didn't win will be just going through the motions.

    I'm mostly bitter that he wound up on a rival team without us having any idea he might produce, even if it is for 450 ABs. Could certainly have used him last year when Ram went down.
  15. Soul
    Circular file that puppy.
  16. Soul
    True. I meant it still feels like he'll drop back down.

    Really rooting against him would take too much of my time. I can't see myself looking at his stat sheet very often. But in general I try not to hope people fail, even though I really don't like Bradley much.

    I'm wearing the Kane jersey to work Friday. This, of course, means we cannot lose.

    Could it be that the Brewers knew something about his game that the Cubs didn't see though? It seems possible that you could see a guy and realize a tweak he needs to make. If the other club doesn't understand what needs to be done, it could make for a decent, cheap risk to take. I'm not sure if scouts really do this or not though. Feels like it could just be a fluke, but I guess we won't know until a little more time passes.

    Biases, blind spots, fallacies. I'm staying optimistic dammit! :mrgreen:
  21. Soul
    you just lovvvveee to see him fail, don't you. Who doesn't? At this point he is the only person on the planet outside of his mother and the Mariners rooting for himself to succeed. Mariners fans probably aren't as miserable as Cubs fans, and actually want the guy to do well. I do too. Rooting against him seems very strange to me. For what it's worth, I'd like to see him succeed as well. But he's still a 10 year old emotionally.
  22. Soul
    Hawks will dominate. Get ready to be amazed.
  23. Soul
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler%27s_fallacy I'm sticking with the optimism, fallacy and all.
  24. Soul
    I don't think he's talking about age. If you look at the articles that are being written about Hudson's comments, most everyone is saying it is a strong hint at racism.

    Can't say I care for pessimistic NCCubFan. There are enough of us half-empty guys running around sir. Once you cross over to the wrong side of 50 (as I did this past December) and still haven't experienced a championship I think makes one a bit more pessimistic. So true. Except I didn't make it to 50. Not even close :)
