  1. He adds value on the bases. He isn't good in the leadoff spot because he isn't a good hitter. You keep him on the bench to pinch run until your roster becomes too talented to keep him on it just to run.
  2. Why wouldn't he have already signed with us instead of telling teams to have offers in by the 7th? I don't believe we have a deal in place, personally. But we're interested and we have a boatload of money, so I like our chances.
  3. How in the world does Hawk still have a job? Santo was a huge homer, but he did it in a quirky, lovable way. Hawk is a loud, obnoxious [expletive].
  4. On a team full of suck, you single out Dempster. You're dumber than dumb.
  5. Shoulder surgery in April ended his season. Luckily he'd be ready for spring training 2008.
  6. Trinidad Hubbard jumped to mind when I saw this thread, did he never hit 3rd?
  7. Unless of course it is their job to overrule one of their own.
  8. I'd trade him for two PTBNL if one of them was a top 10 prospect in his organization, and the other was Starlin Castro.
  9. He'd look pretty good in our bullpen at league minimum. So would I, though.
  10. I'm starting to get the feeling that if we add one decent bullpen arm and one decent bat we might be able to win this damn division.
  11. At least Cardenas got to see how to turn a double play.
  12. This is the first cubs game ive watched on TV since about 2009. Len and Bob seem a lot better than they were back then.
  13. That intentional walk in the second inning was foolish,but he's much better than any other Cub manager I can remember.
  14. Thats dumb.
  15. I love pot.
  16. Yeah i think id rather just see if marmol can figure things out. He's had stretches of much more thorough awfulness than this before and has rebounded fine. If he can, he should have enough value to either get a good prospect or get his salary off our books in a trade. If he continues to suck, maybe we lose 105 games instead of 99.
  17. Cubs.com says we did this to make room for Bowden. Wouldn't Bowden be taking Byrd's spot on the roster? Was there a move somewhere in there that i missed?
  18. While fans of those teams are wondering if they might win the World Series this season, the most interesting thing about the Cubs will be hoping that some guys in extended spring training show enough to get to Boise. Oh Shut the hell up. Part of the reason we're in this position is from handing out stupid contracts. You can't fix the problems by making the same damn mistakes. I wouldn't have minded the CJ Wilson discount deal, and would have loved the Cespedes deal. Darvish was a bit much, but I'd have given it to him. You're god damn nuts if you think Fielder and Pujols were good contracts. So you're complaining about a player not giving us a hometown discount, a player signing with another team at the last minute, and losing a blind bidding process. Shut up.
  19. it's fine, we're going to sign matt kemp and joey votto Are we still bitching about this even after every worthwhile FA got a ridiculous contract? I mean, I'm not trying to say its stupid......actually, yeah, it is pretty [expletive] stupid. There comes a point in time when you have to ask yourself, if every single one of them gets a ridiculous contract, what defines ridiculous? No there does not. 10 years to a 32 year old and 9 years to a fatass is ridiculous 10 times out of 10.
  20. it's fine, we're going to sign matt kemp and joey votto Are we still bitching about this even after every worthwhile FA got a ridiculous contract? I mean, I'm not trying to say its stupid......actually, yeah, it is pretty god damn stupid.
  21. That should help them beat other teams. haha, get it? Because he beats his wife.
  22. I'd like for my woody to break Castro. \:D/
  23. Cespedes really wouldn't have to be particularly good to be worth that contract. If Theo and Jed made a conscious effort to not sign him, and there were reports a day or so ago that they had, money wasn't the reason.
