  1. Yeah, this. His philosophy is groovy and all, but he hasn't exactly put it into practice with this team.
  2. You were right, but slightly unclear. FTFY
  3. No, it's ok. They gave up the best pitcher on the planet and got Carlos Gomez. Did you know he hit for the cycle?!?!!?!!11!!11!!1!!!ONE!
  4. Cool stuff. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-080516-chicago-cubs-pittsburgh-pirates,1,29976.story So cool. I hope we hear from you soon, Mr. Gallagher. I was lucky enough to be at the game and Sean looked great. Congratulations.
  5. GEOVANY SOTO Soto would be a good start. Rich Hill and Sean Gallagher would also likely be involved (assuming Hill's injury was not serious). Some A-ball level prospects with high ceilings would also probably be in the deal (Ceda and Donaldson maybe?). In other words, it would take a lot. I like Lincecum, but I wouldn't trade for him. Not because he isn't good, but because what the Giants would ask for, is not what the Cubs should give up. Now, if the Giants would take Gallagher/Ceda and a low level solid prospect for Cain, that's a different story. But for Lincecum, you have to give up the farm, and I am not sold on giving up the farm for a pitcher. Which is why I wasn't a fan of the Johan Santana or Erik Bedard trades. The Twins and O's made out like bandits. The Twins did not make out like bandits for Johan Santana. Anyone who thinks otherwise is severely misguided.
  6. With all due respect to Bruce, I think even he would agree that people are allowed to have differing opinions about things. Now obviously he's more in the know, and might have some sort of knowledge about why Pie was never given a shot, or why Edmonds was better than his numbers in SD, but even then, this isn't a communist board where everyone is supposed to think alike. no, i beg to differ. it is a communist board because we're all supposed to be meatballs and hate edmonds or get flamed. Why does it make somebody a meatball to dislike bad baseball players on the Cubs? meatballs don't hate edmonds because he's a bad baseball player. like i said, the move is pointless at worst. I don't know why, but calling people meatballs sounds so odd. Sounds like something someone would say in the 70's no, it doesn't. it's just the best term for what they are. i think characterizing it as "odd" is even more odd. i thought it was "meatheads"
  7. Good God, Edmonds' ass is ginormous. I had a great joke for this one but I'm gonna chicken out
  8. Not anymore. The team with Edmonds, Rolen, Encarnacion, Eckstein, and a healthy Chris Carpenter? You bet your ass I hated them.
  9. I went ahead and fixed this for you
  10. Could be much worse. That said, I'd put Theriot 7th, Edmonds 5th and Fuku 2nd. Oh, and I'd also have the better-defending shortstop play shortstop.
  11. Seriously. When people start defending them by citing good intentions and accusing you of overlooking said intentions, it makes me want to throw up
  12. Lee? Really? The only time Lee every says anything publicly is when he whines about booing fans. Right, because to be a team leader you have to air stuff out publicly. Thanks for the sarcasm. It was sooooooo helpful. I see what you did there
  13. I have no comment on Z declining to comment
  14. I think at least one of those puns was intended. I like how he managed to simultaneously defend Edmonds and make fun of him.
  15. 4 straight Cubs games I can't watch. Eff Wisconsin.
  16. Relative to what, exactly?
  17. Do you have faith in the cubs to do that? I think they give Edmonds every chance to succeed. In other words, much more than they gave Pie. I fixeded this for you.
  18. so I take it everyone missed Vance's tirade in the Edmonds announcement thread?
