  1. i thought jim rome was the one who came off as a moron in that interview. stern was pretty funny.
  2. That kid is 19! Let me tell you, that is the kind of talent that can bring a franchise back from dead. Is this a reference to something or are you really talking like that? Reference. every once in a while i watch that goal on youtube and nod my head in agreement
  3. sounds like you're obsessed with obp but are unwilling to look deeper at what makes players valuable. yea, we have this 22 year old shortstop who will hit for great average, hit for good power, provide value on the basepaths, and play average (at least) defense. but he doesn't walk, so that means the other 7 guys in the lineup won't walk either or something. we need to get a shortstop who does all those amazing things, AND walks a lot. until thing, i see nothing exciting about castro.
  4. theo swoon back in full effect
  5. can't believe thabo was good enough to keep harden on the bench
  6. i'm still hoping for a minnesota/okc durant/westbrook/harden/love/rubio/williams rivalry to develop over the next decade.
  7. i was 50/50 on this series going in, but i feel pretty confident about the thunder after seeing this game. the only reason it was close was because of a crazy jump-shooting start by miami. the thunder just look too fast. they were all over the place in the second half. the heat haven't seen a team like this yet.
  8. i gave up on the mlb network about 3 months in. that network is like cubs.com brought to life
  9. even if it doesn't last, seeing him take the mound in a major league game would be amazing, and would be a giant accomplishment for him.
  10. You think it's silly to wait an additional 10-11 days to get an extra full year of control? Yes. If Rizzo projects as expected, he'll be locked up long term regardless. We are the Cubs, not a small market team. Gotta love when someone is so stubborn that when given an obvious choice, a choice that would suggest they are wrong, they go with the illogical clearly wrong choice just so they don't have to admit that they are wrong. Again, it's just my opinion. I understand the other POV as well and this is what usually follows that kind of stubbornness.
  11. wow, gagne almost slipped and dropped the cup. it has to happen eventually, right? that thing is not light.
  12. haha, that wasn't an accident by dustin brown. deliberate f-bomb.
  13. say what you want about wsr, but this guy really sticks to his guns.
  14. it's kind of felt like he's been ours for months now, so it would be a pretty big gut punch to lose out on him. i'd be pretty shocked.
  15. almost slugging .500
  16. what's going on with Szczur?
  17. so how exactly do you pronounce this guy's name anyways?
  18. there's a hell of a lot more than just 75 PA to judge. then why did you use those 75 as your argument?
  19. brett jackson k rate this year- 31% adan dunn career- 29% soriano has been under 23% his entire career
  20. maybe so, but it's not because of 60 AB
  21. We're gong to have to eat the contract...and the sooner the better so others can come up and start our rebuild. The biggest mistake our new masterminds are making is hanging onto Sori trying 'to get something for him' Its retarding the progress of Brett Jackson, who needs to get on-the-job training at the MLB level. The money is gone...we cant get it back. Release Sori. Should have been done last winter. I'm one of the biggest B Jackson fans around and even I'm scared of what that 31% K rate will do in the majors. He doesn't NEED OJT in the majors, he needs to improve his contact skills in AAA. Like Castro and Campana and Cardenas... what's the difference? /.we're dead last ? On the job training for all.....cant be scared of them failing....we need to know what we have Seriously...why is he different from our other rookies..>? he literally just told you. brett jackson is striking out like adam dunn at iowa. calling him up right now would be idiotic.
  22. guys, he was confirmed to be cubsfan26 (and others) by a mod in another thread
  23. haha cubsfan26 is the guy that loved the grabow signing
  24. parise rules, i think he kind of goes unnoticed because he plays in the devils system and doesnt put up numbers he's capable of.
