I don't really know. I do know he's out of his mind and nobody seems to think it is important to at least follow up on some of the details. THAT is ridiculous.

Not sure why you would say that. Bradley is also insinuating that some of the racist hate mail came from the Cubs organization. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/dailypitch/post/2010/03/milton-bradley-rips-cubs-fans-and-piniella--/1 Do you make it a practice of believing what crazy people say without anything to back it up? And you say I'm ridiculous? Do you believe that Jacque Jones received racist mail? Or was he crazy too? Do you believe Dusty Baker received racist mail? Or was he crazy too? Or did Cubs fans just stop being racist sometime around Winter of '09? He's saying the racist mail essentially came from Hendry & Co. Can't you see he's psycho?

I don't even believe what he says. Show me the proof. You won't believe that Milton Bradley received racist mail until he shows them to you? He's lied about a bunch of things, beginning with him saying he was done talking about the Cubs. When you lie a few times, I no longer believe what you say. It's pretty simple.

The loss of Noah has to be the primary factor. Although at times Tyrus would produce, it was too inconsistent to say he was a difference maker. Also, Tyrus was out for awhile as well. No Noah + bad Deng = not even Rose can pull us into the win column. It's just a waste right now. Hurry up offseason.
-
He's always been a head case, from day 1. And this idea that he has suddenly started floating that somehow the Cubs were a problem but everywhere else was smooth sailing is so laughable I've got to believe Milton needs serious counseling. The man's mind is broken. We took a huge risk signing him at all, and it certainly didn't work out. I don't care if he can play baseball anymore. He can't *survive*, because nobody wants to be anywhere near him once they figure out who he is. Please no more Miltons.

Jones was saying yesterday morning that he was going to compete for the job or something, and I was thinking "are you delusional? You're gone dude..." I don't mind him thinking that though. He was just trying to remain positive until the last possible moment. I agree, sure would have been nice last year to have him carrying the ball instead of Bell/Wolfe. At least for a significant portion of the time. Some guys just can't stay healthy.

Down down spiraling down

Of course he says that in early March.

ST - 3/9 Brewers (Suppan) @ Cubs (Wells) 2:05 CST
Soul replied to Outshined_One's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Well damn, I had to do something and missed the radio call for Lee's HR :x -
Oh, well since that's the easy part no problem. This made me laugh. Yes Lou. Silva's healthy, so it's just a simple little matter of transforming him from a terrible pitcher to a good one. Good luck.

I'd be willing to bet that if I had F U money and didn't have to work for the rest of my life and could literally do whatever I wanted everyday for the rest of my life, my happiness levels would be far higher than the average person making enough to cover basic needs. Far higher. But I'm much lazier and impulsive than the average person. I used to think this way, but I've come to understand that going to work every day is something that gives my life meaning. Not working is nice for a couple months. Then I need something productive to be doing to feel good about myself. Many people can just find things to do though, all on their own. I really need that structure provided for me. I'm not really all that much of a self-starter.
-
If I considered this season to be the only shot the Blackhawks will have to win a championship, then I would be more upset if they didn't. But even with some upcoming defections, I still believe this team will have opportunities to get there in upcoming seasons. I expect the Hawks to be contenders for awhile. If we don't win it this year, we'll be back.
-
I would have to assume that he's the #1 based simply on being by far the most highly paid. If Olsen were to stay, he'd have to be a part-time guy, because they aren't going to go 2 WR, 2 TE, 1RB all that often. I'm guessing the look will most often be 3 WR, 1 TE, 1B, that allows for 7 blockers on any given play, and both the TE and RB can also be an outlet if the 3 WR don't get open. I'd prefer the premium be on keeping Cutler from getting killed. The problem, though, is that from what I hear Manumaleuna isn't really a pass-blocking wizard. I've been hearing more that he average in pass blocking, but is a load coming off the line on running plays. So no, I really don't want to sacrifice Olsen's pass catching just to gain average pass blocking, if that's what it is going to be.

What are the odds of any team going through 3 teams to the finals? Can't be much better. Heck, in any sport.
-
I've never liked the guy, I admit. But Khabi was never as bad as Huet. But, on a more positive note, at least we know ownership won't let the team go to hell for another 15 years if they blow this chance. He really wasn't good in the playoffs last year. I don't know why so many people keep clinging to him in these Huet arguments.
-
Not necessarily, you're right. But it is always a concern when a guy gets a massive paycheck that he might lose that little extra edge that makes him a truly special player. Some players do fine after being paid. Some seem to lose a little off the top.
-
Highly doubtful. Basically, this means Peppers still has good reason to try. He still has motivation. That's good work by the Bears.
-
The only way that happens if the Bears get a 2nd rd pick in next years draft. Otherwise, giving away Olsen late round pick does not benefit the Bears. I rather hold onto Olsen then to give him away. Yeah, if all he is going to net is a 5th round pick, at best, then keep him. In that case, it's worth the chance that the team flames out, Lovie goes and thus Martz goes, and in 2011 we have a new OC, still have Cutler and still have Olsen. I tend to agree, but I don't think any of our current decision-makers would use this reasoning. They're thinking about this year -- and to hell with what a new regime could do with Olsen.
-
I vaguely remember some comments when he first arrived in Seattle, and then this. Not a heck of a lot. I thought those were more along the lines of "that's last year, I'm not talking about Chicago anymore." But I could be mistaken. Wouldn't be a big surprise to find that Bradley said that, and then ultimately couldn't keep his trap shut about it.
-
Grant Fuhr was winning Cups with a sv% well below .900 and GAA's usually well above 3, sometimes pushing 4. That would plant him firmly at the bottom of the league this year, and probably most years. Of course, Fuhr was playing with one of the great scoring teams of all time so it didn't matter much. I'm not sure how much defense the Oilers teams were sacrificing too, given that they knew they could just blow goals past everyone. I think it's worth noting.
-
There's a difference between staying positive and putting on blinders. What's the longest hot streak either of our goalies has had this season? 3 games? There is no reason to expect either of them will do any better in the playoffs, though Niemi seems to play up to big games better and seems to have better focus. Go with him. Everyone knows a goalie collapse in the playoffs could happen. I see no reason not to remain positive until it does happen, and I see no benefit to worrying about it until it does happen. We are what we are. It's not like there are the possibility of changes at this point. Talking about how bad it is going to be isn't going to make anything better. I'll assume they are going to find a way to get it done until proven otherwise. Huet has gotten hot before. Niemi has looked great at times. It can happen.

Millar’s chances of making Cubs improving
Soul replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Hey now, that's not nice. I feel bad for Hunter. So, the Cubs should hire Millar for player development, apparently. Maybe they were planning to move him into middle relief all along. -
Our bullpen situation is........of concern.
