  1. It would be too bad if relations were really severed that badly, but it's not the Cubs' fault if he wants to be a petulant little bitch.
  2. Should the Cubs un-retire Ryno's number and take the flag down if he gets the Cardinal job? ;) For beating the Cards during his playing career and destroying the franchise with a managerial career? I'd build him a statue. I'm talking about the moment the press conference begins and he puts on the jersey. Just wait... If the cards get off to a slow start, whenever Ryne makes a questionable move the Cards fans will cry that he's a spy sent from the Cubs to destroy them from within. Oh God I hope so.
  3. This basically has to happen now
  4. Theo makes me so happy. Watch him steal [expletive] Maddon from the Rays. Theo's will be done.
  5. I can and will argue his level of control over his own results.
  6. Wut. What is your source for this "try him as a starter" noise? I've seen it in a couple of places that he's been told to prep over the winter to try out as a starter this spring. As I think through it, I believe it's all been through email with various people, though. Pretty reliable people, though. That's pretty awesome. I hadn't even considered it lately. Could be a very high reward to that little risk.

  8. I think this is fairly accurate. I have to swim upstream on LaRussa. I like him. He's fiery, competitive, and all he ever does is win, wherever he manages. WTH is not to like? You don't have to like him personally, but I highly admire his body of work, and would love to have a guy who gets his type of results manage the Cubs. It's very obvious to me that you missed this post:
  9. :( I was gonna do that. Really one of my favorite Cubs ever. I hope this means we tender him a team-friendly contract. No idea who would play 3B in his absence.
  10. The more I think about it, the more likely I think we are to take a flier out on Sizemore. Maybe we could keep him at a corner and have him split time with any of Jackson, Soriano or Byrd to get him healthy? This has Theo written all over it.
  11. I don't understand how you can expect anything better. Hell, I don't know how you could expect anything that good. That's a steal. Limited market for 1bmen, and I don't think the rest of the league is as dismissive of his worrisome 2011 as some Cubs fans are. The Cardinals are offering $22.5 million AAV. Jumping from that to $30 million is Tom Hicksing yourself, even if you get to take a few years off the end. If you subscribe to the 1 WAR = $5 mil theory, he's an excellent bet to exceed the proposed $30 million AAV for the first 3-4 years. I think you're greatly understating the value of "taking a few years off the end." I would rather not commit Theo's sin of paying for past performance in years 7-10 or whatever. Rather pay him what he's worth when he's worth it; needless to say, that means happily upping the AAV.
  12. I don't understand how you can expect anything better. Hell, I don't know how you could expect anything that good. That's a steal. Edit: I don't know if celebrations get any more joyful or pure than my naked street dance, but if we sign him at 6/180, I'll be doing whatever that is.
  13. I'll dance naked in the streets if we sign Albert for 6/200mm
  14. Just thought I'd quote this and celebrate its general wrongness
  15. Can variations of "Ryno has paid his dues" be added to the word filter? We can replace it with [meaningless drivel] or something.
  16. The last 4 pages of this thread are hot garbage. But at least we're being nice to each other, or something.
  17. You can probably stop this; no one is disagreeing with you and I'm pretty sure everyone is as frustrated by this as you.
  18. I think I'd like to punch Keith Law in the face
  19. Freese looks absolutely lost every time the ball comes to him at third, so OF COURSE he makes that catch. [expletive] the [expletive] Cardinals
  20. I would be profoundly happy if this exact thing happened, and I see no reason why it shouldn't. I'm having trouble reconciling these two statements.
  21. holy holy [expletive] that was the best thing ever
  22. Fake Crane Kenney's CSN account is amazing. It should become a fake Twitter
