  1. i dig it.
  2. Nice of Quade to use injuries as an excuse for the pitching and essentially blame Hendry for the offense sucking. I'm not saying he's necessarily wrong, but it would be nice if for once we had a manager with a ballsac
  3. it's ok guys, vitters should be ready to replace ramirez by now. that's why we drafted him. this couldn't have worked out any better.
  4. People here dislike LaRussa because he's a drunk maniac and a raging [expletive].... not because of his managing skills.
  5. I'm predicting 35 goals and 60 assists from Toews this year
  6. 35 year old Reed Johnson batting almost .350 is totally for real. Something just clicked for him I guess. It would be just like the braindead Cubs to let him walk so we can give the job to another fail-waiting-to-happen prospect like Brett Jackson. None of this would even be an issue if we had held on to Josh Hamilton.
  7. His 2010 was only a little better than his 2009. He just hit more runs. He also walked less and struck out more. Either way, neither of those 2 seasons were close to the season he had in all 4 previous years.
  8. He's "fine" is the sense that he's still a good player, but he's not even close to what he used to be. His walk rate has dropped and his K rate has gone through the roof. Wright's first 5 seasons: .309/.389/.533 Wright's last 3 seasons .287.366/.468 Almost a 100 point dropoff in total OPS, and it happens right after he turns 26? So I ask again... what the hell happened to David Wright?
  9. In a related thought, what the [expletive] happened to David Wright?
  10. Joe Johnson Despite his bad year for the Hawks, it would been awesome if we had gotten Joe Johnson for boozer money. Johnson is exactly what the bulls need. Colleti is straight garbage,
  11. I always think it sounds incriminating when somebody uses a slur and then says "it just slipped". To me, that implies that the person had these words on their mind before and they accidentally say them out loud.
  12. I loved his reasoning for putting Dunn in there That's some hard hitting anaylisis. A google search of the dude's name.
  13. Yea, I'm near St. Pete and thats one everyone says. Doesn't mean much though. The Cubs position is just a signficantly better opportunity all around. The Rays this year are a pretty good example of why he's eventually going to have to leave, pretty much. The Rays are a very good team this season and still aren't remotely close to the playoffs.
  14. The minor league system sucks because they always give away their picks in compensation for signing Type A/B free agents. There was always kind of a disconnect between the Steinbrenners and Cashman. Cashman is more player-development orientated than casual fans think. He manages the Yankees, so they just assume his philosophy is to spend blindly, and that's not really true. Didn't he almost leave the Yankees a few years ago because he wanted to build up the farm system and George wanted to keep spending on whatever was avilable each offseason?
  15. Let's see if Hollandsworth compliments Soriano for being a leader with Castro.
  16. http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news_img/17979/weekend_at_bernies_17979.jpg
  17. Bruce Miles has always been kind of a Hendry apologist.
  18. Oh man, that would be awesome just to hear what Kaplan/Stone/etc say
  19. Imagine if he ended the Red Sox drought and then ended the Cubs'.
  20. Tied with Youkilis at .861 The Cubs have to pick up his option, right? I wish I was more confident they would.
  21. sabr-themed tournament to find next gm and manager.
  22. It slipped. typical errormiss
  23. Why are you including Byrd, Dempster, and Marmol (maybe) in this list? those aren't bad contracts.
