  1. We could just tell Sori the season was cancelled and hope he doesn't show up. Or send him down to Venezuela... Too soon?
  2. Yoshi for third base coach!
  3. I can't remember where I saw it but Nate Silver did a comparative analysis of Fielder and Mo Vaughn. The graph pretty much showed that he expects a Vaughn like collapse for Prince by 32. Edit: here it is. http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6884431/the-road-map-cubs-resurgence
  4. I could have sworn that Goose Island was added to Wrigley's premium beer selection this season. It may be 312. In any event, with Anheuser-Busch now owning Goose Island, I'm sure it'll happen eventually.
  5. What is a hipster's favorite Cubs player? He's an obscure bench player. You've probably never heard of him.
  6. Buster Olney reporting that management knew within two hours of the incident that Z wasn't serious about retiring, made those comments privately to clubhouse staff and that he moved his stuff back into his locker that night. If that's true, this is Sammy Part 2. Hendry is playing the media to drum Z out of town for pennies on the dollar.
  7. I didn't know Soriano had it in him. Soriano's a bad teammate!!! More importantly, who in the clubhouse can induce the same reaction from Soriano?
  8. He's also been around long enough to watch the Cubs chew up and spit out those same men. I believe Gillick can see what a challenge this organization is and would want no part of it.
  9. Bill Hader plays a charcter on SNL that is a senile reporter. It sounds exactly like Soup.
  10. Two heavy-handed ideas that will never get past the union but would cause players to think twice: - If a player declines due to phantom injury or just doesn't want to, the team plays short. No substitutions for anything other than Sunday pitchers and legitimite injuries. - Players must attend All-Star Game to receive any contract incentives.
  11. Multiple facial fractures. That sucks. Time for a Phantom of the Opera mask!
  12. Lebron may have a gambling problem too. You never know. We can only hope. I hear Jeff Loria is holding a roster spot on the Marlins AA team just in case.
  13. There was a promo for the new Cameron Diaz movie "The Bad Teacher" in which Jason Segal is arguing with a student about Lebron V. Jordan. Student: Oh, your entire argument is six championships? Segal: That's the only argument I need! That about sums it up.
  14. They would anyway, have you seen the unemployment rate in chicago? Unemployment rate by metro area (as of March 2011) Miami/Ft. Lauderdal/Pompano Beach: 10.9% Chicago/Joliet/Naperville: 8.9% Don't let facts get in the way of a good trolling argument.
  15. Um, are you perhaps confusing Tom Ricketts with this guy? http://www.nndb.com/people/410/000022344/don-rickles-pubshot.jpg Can we PLEASE have Don replace Keith for a game or two? kthxbye.
  16. If Theo Epstein or Brian Cashman produced the same record as Hendry, they would have been gone years ago. But somehow, it's okay for the Cubs who haven't been near the World Series since Franklin Roosevelt nor won a World Series since Franklin's older cousin Teddy was in office, to retain Hendry; the owner of one playoff series victory in almost 10 years. Yep, makes perfect sense to me.
  17. David Wright?! :shock: Is there anything left in the cupboard Jimbo?
  18. The mark up on beer is ridiculous if they can cut it 50% and still expect to turn a profit.
  19. Or change the thread name to "Wow Castro Sucks at defense".... Only kidding but damn I hate when Castro does this... Now idiotic Cubs fans will be in Steve Stones corner as the next GM of the Cubs and want to move Castro to LF. we need him to be a better fielder just because I'm put off by Keith Moreland pronouncing error as "era."
  20. To be fair, people in New York are just really annoying regardless.
  21. Or maybe he realized how terrible he actually has been. 9.45 ERA 6.2 IP 4 HR 3 BB 3 K 1 WP 1 HBP 1 SV 4 BSV Everyone knows the best fans thing is media driven BS anyways. The fans believe it too. Of course, I'd be delusional too if I had this as a local delicacy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gooey_butter_cake.
  22. How is he only 34? I mean holy christ.
  23. glad that check I wrote to Uncle Sam last week is going for good use. But wait, Clemens is in the on-deck circle! And I'm surprised Palmiero hasn't been sent to Guantanamo for his testimony yet.
  24. Per Ken Tremendous on Twitter: Red Sox must play .608 baseball for the entire rest of the year to win 95 games. It is April 7th.
  25. Saw this on Bruce Levine's blog: Sounds like they're taking the exact opposite approach to Wood/Prior and being overly cautious with young pitchers. Good news at least.
