  1. man, if we suck next year then i hope we tank hard. i want [expletive] to get ugly but then all they'll do is hire another crap GM and promote sandberg. 2007-2008 was the window
  2. im sick of tis "mystery team" garbage. i think it's just lazy and overaggressive reporting
  3. i [expletive] hate this team so [expletive] much [expletive] [expletive] [expletive]
  4. stupid question, but does UZR factor in an outfielders arm?
  5. I'm not convinced that after a string of decidedly average-mediocre seasons Hawkins has regained his dominance at age 36. I'm not high on Grabow at all, but I don't think the Hawkins signing is any better than his. it isn't, really.
  6. Cubs projected win total in 2010 just went up by 2. And in 2011. 2yr/7.5 million. what's better than overpaying for one pitcher? overpaying for 2 pitchers!
  7. Cubs projected win total in 2010 just went up by 2. hawkins has been pretty badass over the past 85 or so innings.
  8. it's pretty funny that you assume you were right about these guys already i always knew that ian kennedy guy was a buster. i mean, what 23 year old gets lit up in the al east? only a buster
  9. Just that gut feeling. I had the same feeling when everyone was hyping samardijza, i felt he wasn't that good of a prospect and a reliever at best which i still feel. I felt that way about Hughes, Kennedy, Bucholz, etc. I think if you watch baseball, normally you can see someone and just know they'll be something good. Its just my own opinion, not saying its right. Before you applaud yourself too hard, there was never a time when everyone was hyping Samardzija. And your ability to judge a player based on how he carries himself is dubious at best. and samardzija's minor league numbers weren't good anyways
  10. who needs numbers when you can just look at how a guy carries himself?
  11. what the [expletive] does this even mean? and it was alone as a paragraph Jeter's ambassadorship is worth about 15 wins. Didn't you know that? And him saying "Good job tonight, guys" adds another 10-12. i understood the sucking off of jeter, i just don't understand why granderson would come in and be the "leader and ambassador" of the team.
  12. guh... what? we've known that all along. they don't really know what they're going to have to work with and what they might need until they work this mess out
  13. this trade isn't going down by the end of the winter meetings
  14. ok, now how many can you name who were making as much as sosa? a players trade value isn't determined on performance alone. in sosa's case, the main factor was his ridiculous salary. Salary is meaningless when the trading team is the one paying it. the orioles still paid plenty

  17. guys i read on wikipedia that brad pitt has 2 penises does anybody know if that's true or not
  18. I really hope the entire Cubs brass isn't obsessing with moving Bradley as much as Bruce (and others) are making it seem. This has Sammy Sosa written all over it, to a lesser degree. Except Sammy had little to no value. I don't think you can say that. His numbers match up pretty well with Mike Cameron's 2009 season, and the Cubs are VERY interested in him. except cameron plays center (and plays it well) while sosa played a corner outfield (and played it poorly) most of cameron's value comes from his position and his defense

Except Sammy had little to no value. bradley doesn't have any trade value right now either, just for different reasons.
