  1. I'm 35. Meh.
  2. This is the only time Maples was passed over. All of the guys called up besides Hancock were long men/spot starters, something Maples isn’t. And I’d probably have called up Maples over Hancock. How come? I know it's only 14 and 10 innings, but Maples is still walking everyone and Hancock isn't...and it's not like Maples has some long track record of success to where you lean his way. And both throw very hard.
  3. this is a really long-winded and goofy way of asking "what cubs jersey would you buy" lol [tweet] [/tweet]
  4. i just did a week of beach, sun, and booze in mexico. i'm exhausted. not sure how i'd ever survive 2.5 weeks anywhere. I mean you don't have to get drunk EVERY day... you don't?
  5. Oh, man. Love Javy cracking a smile at the Javy chants. :flythew:
  6. You're the worst. Thanks for piping in for your bi-monthly “I hate Derwood” post. See you in July! Half that dude's bi-monthly posts are some angry one off like he's been building up rage and cant take it anymore.
  7. i fully cop to my bad takes i.e. i had a hugely irrational fear that kris bryant was going to brett jackson/mike olt at the big leagues bc of his strikeout rates. turns out he's an actual unicorn (much like rizzo) who somehow got better at making contact in the bigs. i also said there was no horsefeathering way he'd be a 3B after watching one play in the AFL. i argued literally every time someone penciled him in at 3B and said he was a corner OF.
  8. why do you hate rizzo and think he sucks

  11. ok i'll waste 30 more seconds on it, but only because i'm procrastinating doing actual work. if this is all about the sig, it was entirely: happ is really good and exciting right now, javy kinda sucks right now, and sneaky posted a funny version of my sig with happ in his place saying "hi guys" so i might as well use it. and after that i just forgot about it and was too lazy to ever remake it because i didn't have the original. i remade it in the offseason at some point. but i'm not sure why my sig is such a big deal lmao.
  12. your interpretation is wrong. my opinion on him was always more or less the same. from the beginning, it was huge ceiling, low floor (and then his floor went up for me when it was clear he could at least destroy MLB lefties and play great defense). it was just that most everyone else went from being super duper down on him and calling him a bust to liking him way more than i did (in terms of value as a player - i always loved javy as a fun dude to watch). im not going to waste anymore time arguing over this lol. you can keep telling me what i thought.
  13. yeah no matter how hard some of cubs twitter tries to push that this insane idea is somehow good, i will never be on board with it.
  14. you seem very upset about this lol No, just think it's very weird you feel the need to constantly bring something up that's not remotely true. is this a troll post or did you not click any of those links? the most down i ever got on javy is that i thought the most likely outcome was that most of his value was on defense (and that his insane historic 2016 output in terms of DRS was unsustainable) and mashing the hell out of lefties. i thought he probably would always need to be shielded against all good righties. i also always realized there was a glimmer of a chance of him going balls out superstar. i also at one point thought that if anyone should be traded (after 2016) for archer or someone like that, it should be him because with all the postseason hype, his perceived value at the time seemed better than his actual value. this offseason i swapped happ into that category instead of him, but i also was pretty much always in "keep them all and horsefeathers trading for pitching" crew. if you want to dig up the posts, have at it.
  15. regardless, we have a nearly fully realized javy now. he's headed for bryzzo territory (hopefully tony finds his way back there too).
  16. only because i'm a robot and i need to be right: viewtopic.php?p=161295#p161295
  17. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=727&p=161245&hilit=.jpg#p161245 and if you think my "javy can go (ducks)" post was anything but a joke bc he was having a shitty season at the time (and happ was having an early dongfest), you are bad at interpreting things
  18. Y'know, David went full Derwood so gradually that we didn't even notice it happening. sneaky made it and i said horsefeathers it and put it up i'm like 90% sure this happened
  19. That was actually sneaky but I used it as a gag iirc I was the number one javy backer after 2014 and have never been a javy buster Why do you feel the need to say you were his number one backer like once a week? There were quite a few of us that have been on his side the entire time. And sorry, no one's buying you taking him out of your signature as a gag. And saying this sucks, because you're one of my favorites here. you seem very upset about this lol
  20. Remember when you took him off your sig? THAT was insane. That was actually sneaky but I used it as a gag iirc I was the number one javy backer after 2014 and have never been a javy buster
