    [/spoil] It's hilarious. Cubs fans rightly think its ridiculous to trade a guy with several years of cheap control who would be on pace for 44 HR over 162 games as a rookie for a 31 yo reliever with 1.5 years left who can impact a season for 80 innings a year. Yankees fans for some reason think it's ridiculous because...why? Because he tore his ACL? If he doesn't tear his ACL there wouldn't even be a discussion because no one would even think to throw out a Schwarber for Miller trade. Now its still extremely ridiculous but because of the supposed risk of coming back from the injury, it is on the very fringes of a suggestible discussion (while still being insanely ridiculous). Basically because everyone saw him fall on his fat belly on national TV in the playoffs and now the whole world is convinced he's the worst outfielder ever to stand in a major league outfield and is completely useless to the Cubs.

    You don't have to tell me that for me to believe he's going nowhere anyway (hell, even the media has reported that he was told that, I believe). At least, not in anything that has been discussed.

    Imagine if your career required running and jumping heavily. Pretty much everything I know about it is my brother dealing with it; as much as I'm a slob he's always been in fantastic shape and plays multiple sports, but ever since this developed this he would get sidelined all the time because of the pain. He tried a lot of the short term therapies; which helped alleviate it a lot in his everyday life, but he couldn't play either for very long or not at all a LOT until he got the surgery, and even that combined with the other therapies took a good 6 months+ to deal with it. That much time off at a minimum for a professional athlete is presumably why Noah hasn't done it. This season would seemingly have been a good opportunity for him to have tried addressing it that way.

    i had a magic starter half zip coat but i never considered myself a fan. i just liked the colors. also had an indians pullover and i did like those indians teams a lot.

    nope, nope, nope. i listed a bunch of guys before who i'd easily trade schwarber for. not one of them was a yankee, IIRC.

    As a kid, I originally called myself a Sox fan, but that was before I had any real interest in sports. I just knew they were good. I'll admit the same. I watched the 93-95 Sox as much as I watched the Cubs and idolized Frank Thomas, who is still one of my favorite players despite the White Sox uniform. At the end of 1995 though the .500ish Cubs went on a winning streak toward the end of the season and were alive for the WC on the last weekend, I went to 2 of games of that final series vs. Houston and for some reason that pushed me over the edge for the Cubs. By 97, I was at the Cell for the first Cubs/Sox series rooting hard for the Cubs. I've told this story before...the extent of my Sox "fandom" was that I had a Sox hat in the early-mid 90s, but I didn't watch at all. Jordan's comeback in March of 95 is what got me really amped up for sports and then the Cubs decent 95 season that immediately followed, plus the Bears with the "big" offense with Conway and Graham and I was in (pretty funny since all those teams were pretty damn mediocre). Then as the 95-96 Bulls happened, I was officially all in on sports. I also always played as the Cowboys in tecmo bowl (which I played despite not giving a crap about sports) and called myself a fan prior to the Bears.

    I was more surprised that he hit 38 one year. Never thought he got that close, but I barely paid attention in 2006. I remember him more as a mid-high 20's guy, like he was in 07-08.
  11. David
    seriously...starting an inning past the 100 mark? wtf?
  12. David

  15. David
    had no idea that profar was actually fairly decent so far this year
  16. David
    Didn't like the signing then, still don't like it now. it was a good value and upgraded the team. barring criminal behavior, i don't give a horsefeathers how much of an horsefeathers he is when you get surplus value and a clear upgrade.
  17. David

    Lackey has already almost exceeded the value of his salary this year. Mixed bag? Maybe if he throws BP for another 90 innings, I guess. Wait, I just noticed the "statistically has been our worst starter" part...what are you looking at? ERA?
