  1. First, how was I to know he had cancer? I didn't. Second, I wasn't trying be be insenstitive and tried to put it as nicely as I could. I wasn't trying to bring anyone down in any way. I knew someone would misinterpret it as happens to me often here. So I apologize. SSBW, I apologize but I didn't know. Check your sarcasm detectors, y'all
  2. Umm I really, really don't feel this way. ESPN dredging up the 100 years of futility or whatever is just something else they do that annoys me; it doesn't exactly crush my soul. I've only gone about 16 years (since age 6, when I first learned what baseball was) without a Cubs World Series. It really doesn't bother me that the last time they won a World Series was when I was negative 78 years old. And I really hope the players don't feel the way you do because it is way too big a burden to expect them to bear.
  3. I agree. Sometimes Hendry seems so over-matched it's really entertaining
  4. I can't tell if you're being serious or not. My gut says yes, and if so, this is hilarious
  5. Do you think his injury history, lessens his value to Beane? I would have, to think so
  6. Why? Despite the claim, there's no personal attack is abuck's message (unless it was subsequently edited and I missed something good). I figured abuck's suggestion that the other guy go to Desipio would get it done
  7. Well this thread is as good as locked
  8. I would think so, too. However, I have no idea about how the Cubs organization feels about him. Do they consider him a deal-breaker, or are they closer to feeling how the rest of us feel about him?
  9. why is that nice to see? That he's not buying into this deal making the Brewers the favorites. yeah, but who cares what he thinks? it's not like it helps the cubs or hurts the brewers. You're not wrong, but couldn't you have let this innocuous little comment go? no It must be very important to you. obviously. seriously though, a lot of posters' energy this summer seems to be focused on what jayson stark is saying, what brewers message boards are saying, what ozzie guillen is saying, etc. i just don't see the point. Well I'm just thankful we have someone here to police these foolish people. Hold up. I know that abuck can be gruff, but what did he say that was so out of line here? He expressed his opinion, pretty reasonably. He never attacked anyone...just the opinion. It took your post to make it personal. Maybe he should have let it go...but maybe you should have too. Is this directed at me or CT?

  11. This was a legitimate concern until the Brewers snagged C.C, IMO
  12. The Redskins need to be first on that list, then the Indians. I don't have much of a problem with the schools that use tribe names, so long as the tribe gives their consent, like the Ute, Seminole, and Choctaw tribes have done. Redskins changed their focus to pigs instead of native americans. The Indians are by far the biggest offenders.
  13. Mixing and matching adjectives is fun What? "Collapse" is a noun. Yes. You should probably look up "prolific" in the dictionary. It makes absolutely no sense to describe a collapse as prolific. You're right here. I meant to use "prodigious" and I ended up getting the words mixed up. Haven't had my coffee yet this morning. I will go back and edit the post, as I want this particular Internet forum to uphold the highest standards of grammar and usage. P.S. Regardless, you're kind of an [expletive]. Dude, chill. You sounded like you were trying to use words that were too big for you and I called you on it. BFD.
  14. With 13 pitchers you only have 4 guys to pinch hit, and one of them is the catcher. He probably didn't want to burn any more pinch hitters than absolutely necessary. Yeah, but keeping 13 pitchers is another head-scratcher. Silly La Russa
  15. Good point. Fukudome's a lot less likely to make outs on the basepaths in front of Lee and Ramirez. Get it done, Lou.
  16. It's ok, somebody was just bustin' his balls

  19. That has to be a screwup. They are alphabetically close. But it's screwed up everywhere I have checked. cubs.com has it right Shouldn't the third word in your sig read as "knew"? Is that the only fault you can find with that little excerpt? For the last time, I quoted nsbb's favorite grammarian there.

  21. I had this same problem. I went to the Taste of Chicago today.
