    In the very post I quoted you stated you were hoping for the Cubs to suck. In fact you called it awesome. no, i didn't. trying reading it again. I clearly stated, and I quote, "if we are going to suck this year, this is what i want." i'm saying that if the cubs are going to suck, they might as well tank hard to bring about changes and a higher draft pick. none of this 79-83 and minor changes stuff that leads to use being mediocre again next year and having the same problems over and over. either you have tons of trouble with simple reading comprehension, or you're just being willfully ignorant. considering you do this constantly, i think i know which one it is.

    it's awesome. if we are going to suck this year, this is what i want. i want a [expletive] circus. i want this [expletive] to get completely disastrous. What do you mean "this year"? You revel in the Cubs' misery every year. you seem to have a hard time telling the difference between venting about the cubs sucking and hoping for the cubs to suck. but hey, it's davearm. you specialize in faulty logic and making no sense.

    strasburg is getting national'd tonight. comical defense being played behind him in the 7th. booted double play, throwing to the wrong base, not being able to field a bunt, etc edi: now another error. these dudes are good

    Anyone can have a good 1/5th of a year. very few pitchers can have a 1/5 of a season as good as strasburg's had. he hasn't just been good, he's been insane. you could say that about every player

    In what context was he saying this? he's saying it in the context that he is steve stone, and that's about all i need to know about it

    i hope they do. it won't really affect us at all since we suck this year, and will weaken their team for the future (when we'll probably still suck)

    I just don't know why he'd go out of his way to tell people that they didn't need to make any more trades and they are 'fine' regarding cap space. leverage/posturing

    bj upton flipped out at longoria today or yesterday just as bad as Z did, but nobody is talking about it.

    has there ever been an offseason like this in any of the 4 major sports?

    where's truffle? looks like the flyers are getting nabakov http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/37952034/ns/sports-player_news/ considering what they had last year, that's about as massive an upgrade as you can get in goal.

    yeah, it doesn't really matter what he said. the numbers are pretty telling. obviously we don't exactly what it looks like because of these weird rules that we're suddenly learning about, but we're definitely going to lose at least one more guy. really if all we end up losing now is versteeg or ladd, i'd be absolutely amazed/thrilled.

    Apparently Ric Bucher said LBJ likes Joe Johnson. So with the reports/rumors now coming out of Johnson and the Knicks, people at RealGM are speculating that the Knicks know that LeBron wants JJ, and they'4re trying to lure Johnson away from the Bulls. Which would mean we'd have to find a way to max Johnson to get him (and LBJ) here. Really though, none of us know anything and we're just running in circles trying to figure out stuff we have no clue about.

    I will seriously hug Bowman if he is able to bring this team back under the cap sans Buff, Sopel, Eager and Frasier. That's phenomenal. i think that's impossible

    Bosh is also -500. That's ridiculous. I feel like betting against both of them, both because I want to hedge my happiness and because I think that's nowhere near close to a true representation of reality. The New York Times still has some pull I guess. Being the cynic I am, I want to believe the hype, and part of me does, but the other part is waiting for the carpet to get pulled out from under me. I know none of the rumors have been as mainstream as this one, but I still have unhealed wounds from the Kobe to Chicago and Bulls trading for Amare rumors, not to mention Brian Roberts and Peavy for the Cubs. I'm as optimistic as they come, but this is one thing I'll have to see to believe. I do believe it logically could and even should happen... but Bosh's wishes are just a big x-factor to me... I could easily see him going to Miami. More easily than I can see him coming here. yeah, i think he goes to miami too. other than the recent rumors of lebon/bosh coming here together, there has been virtually nothing about bosh to chicago over the last several months. i'm thinking he was never really interested in chicago and wanted to go to miami all along. who knows though i think we're getting lebron and joe johnson.

    i really don't see a problem with it at all.

    i still don't know what dunn's defense is like at first. is it okay? i'd still like him, considering he'll probably come pretty cheap again.
  25. 17 Seconds
    then don't send him down you [expletive] idiots. but hey, i guess it's crucial that we keep a terrible 37 year old on the roster for meaningless games instead instead of letting a younger/better pitcher develop
