  1. ::wrigley23:Soriano ::jeffh:Hendry (more than your average person.) what do all those posters have in common? A trait I hope they share for all eternity. Horrible posters who apparently cannot be banned?
  2. Too bad the Cubs minor league system has been broke for some time. The prospects to choose from are pretty bleak. They have a LONG way to go to get to the Red Sox level. Oh...and some good talent was shipped for Garza (who's been pretty average so far). Hendry gone may help but I am not a fan of how Ricketts wants to improve this team. They need free agents at this point. Not rookies. Not a single word of this post is accurate
  3. Very questionable usage of the word "beautiful," Fred. Yeah, I'm sure it's no Toad Suck You really seem to be fixated on Toad Suck...... perhaps a vacation in Frog Jump, TN would do you some good, eh ??? Can't get ghetto-high by jumping frogs, now can you?
  4. generic or not, all of these things have blown up in his face will possibly hamper the team's success and growth going forward. Nothing has "blown up in his face." Basically your arguments are ridiculous, because they hinge on the idea of the Ricketts family being complete idiots who just bought a baseball team and were somehow clueless of very basic, obvious things that you, questionmarkgrace, realize but that they somehow unaware of when it comes to the financial status of the Cubs and Wrigley and what type of investment they were getting in to. Think about it for a few minutes. Well said. Nobody here knows the ins and outs of the Cubs' finances better than the Ricketts, and to suggest otherwise is just laughable. It's reminiscent of when the armchair GMs think they are better talent evaluators and would make better trades/signings/draft picks etc. than the actual scouts and GMs that have apparently somehow managed to rise to the very top of their profession despite being totally inept and clueless. Davearm found the slope

  6. I like the guy on the Illinois board that's convinced himself LBJ will be broke shortly after his career is over. He sucks at basketball and is going to blow all his money. And I hear he has syphillis! Isn't calling him an [expletive] and making fun of his family members for banging his co-workers enough? Why make [expletive] up? Obviously not directed at you
  7. I hope you're thinking that they're [expletive] awful. They look like burly M&Ms. And props to SSR.
  8. Please don't conflate people who hate LeBron with people who hate him so much, they've convinced themselves he sucks at basketball.
  9. http://deadspin.com/5811396/lebron-james-is-still-a-[expletive] Yeah I enjoyed the hell outta this this morning
  10. I'm confused. Yeah, that's a head scratcher. Irony is tough sometimes
  11. Really? At this point is it okay for me to root for the Brewers in order to spite St. Louis? And for a higher draft pick? Not really, and it's messed up to question someone for rooting for the Cubs on a Cubs message board I guess my tone didn't translate. I wasn't meaning to be critical. Meant it be more joking... I just read his post and thought, "wow, do I really want the Cubs to win tonight?" My first answer to my own question was "I don't care." The second was "no, not really." We cool. I'm not going to actively root against them; I think it will have meant that something died inside me if I ever get there. But I don't care enough right now to call myself apathetic.

  13. Thanks, I had a feeling I didn't want to read that
  14. When you have a GM who just loves to re-sign non-productive former Cubs each year just to give them a paycheck, who could be surprised. Wood isn't productive? What are you babbling about? Reading is fundamental. 1-3 record for an overpaid non-productive thrower is what I'd expect. Try to keep up. This is a joke, right? Breaking news: Benchwarmer is still the worst FDB and ban this [expletive]
  15. 2 runs scored with one ball leaving the infield and no walks. Garza cannot catch a break.
  16. Really? You don't think the idea that the Ricketts family, billionaires, severely underestimated the financial situation of the Cubs, but YOU could see it clearly when they couldn't...is up for debate? You're not wrong, but holy slippery slope
  17. We could just use "the next MJ" if you like that better. yes, and YES
  18. A suburban park is the worst idea ever and people who bring up the idea should be banned from life. Or invited to live in Chicago and forced to commute to the suburbs
  19. Agreed, but it is far from a dump IMO. From the player's perspective, it's a dump I thought it was charming, then I took a trip to Fenway. Now I think it's a dump. You mentioned the players, and that is true because they see a side of Wrigley we rarely do. The clubhouses and general underbelly of the place is apparently a major mess. I got to tour the clubhouse a couple weeks ago, and it's really gross. Bare slab concrete, smells musty and you can hear water dripping. And the press room is the size of my studio. Hilarious.
  20. Did he have a stroke recently? I guess I hadn't seen him in a while, but he was really struggling on the live draft coverage. Totally sad.
  21. The blank contract was Dawson. Oh, [expletive] That's what I get for talking about things that happened when I was like 5.
