  1. Comrade! I clicked on that link just before the national anthem...freaky don't do that! what? that anthem is better than ours. I forgot you are the resident communist. Shouldn't you like a communist board then? yeah, it's a paradox.
  2. With all due respect to Bruce, I think even he would agree that people are allowed to have differing opinions about things. Now obviously he's more in the know, and might have some sort of knowledge about why Pie was never given a shot, or why Edmonds was better than his numbers in SD, but even then, this isn't a communist board where everyone is supposed to think alike. no, i beg to differ. it is a communist board because we're all supposed to be meatballs and hate edmonds or get flamed. Why does it make somebody a meatball to dislike bad baseball players on the Cubs? meatballs don't hate edmonds because he's a bad baseball player. like i said, the move is pointless at worst. I don't know why, but calling people meatballs sounds so odd. Sounds like something someone would say in the 70's no, it doesn't. it's just the best term for what they are. i think characterizing it as "odd" is even more odd.

  4. It is low-risk performance-wise. That doesn't make it less stupid. actually, it does. you see, low-risk means "little risk".

  7. Yeah, damn you people for having your own opinions and not taking a reporters opinions as gospel. Damn you! wait......i don't get it.
  8. bruce thinks it's a low-risk move, mostly harmless. will everyone stop bitching about it now?
  9. the only comment from him was a long, sinister laugh.
  10. maybe all the cubs will beat up edmonds. yeah, that's the answer! just beat him up, that will learn him to be signed by hendry for the league minimum.
  11. ping, i know that you are aware, but i'll point out that they are winning. if edmonds helps them win, the chemistry will continue.
  12. I hate this line of thinking. "Well, the Cubs were making one mistake anyways... at least they're almost covering for it, maybe." I couldn't care less about Edmonds. What I care about is the Cubs screwing up Pie because they have no patience with younger players. the cubs are screwing up pie anyway, regardless of the edmonds signing.
  13. i really really really like this signing, a lot.
  14. harsh words from a guy who posted "edmonds owns" hey, i said your post was less dumb, what do you want from me?
  15. both posts were dumb but truffle's was less dumb.
  16. I knew it already because of the communist thing, but you're not nearly as cynical as you should be Of course he was going to take Marmol for 2 when he put him in in the 7th yeah, no more benefits of the doubt for lou.
  17. i really really doubt that. if he hits .230 there will be enough people calling for his head that lou wouldn't be able to keep starting him without having a heart attack defending himself from pointed questions from reporters after games.
  18. i was going to make a snide comment about how lou would probably run marmol out there next inning, but i didn't because i didn't think there was a chance of it happening. but lou has proven me wrong yet again. thanks lou.
  19. some white sox fan told me that the fat guy that they have is better than marmol because he has more saves.
  20. because we don't particularly like him and Pie is going to the minors for him. pie wasn't playing anyway. do you think that not signing edmonds would have saved your precious pie? Pie is not very precious to me. I just want to see him play. Edmonds on the team lessens this liklihood, and based on his numbers the last two years, he might be a WORSE option than Reed, much less a defensive downgrade. like i've said in other threads, if edmonds doesn't hit, he won't be around for long. they gave absolutely nothing up to get him and are hoping to catch lightning in a bottle--i can't say that i blame them, although the likelihood of edmonds performing extremely well is remote.
  21. the worst part about it is that on national tv, lou masquerades as a pie supporter, a manager just dishing out a little "tough love" to a young player. what a joke.
  22. haha, edmonds owns and this stretch is going to be a glorious time to be a cub fan amongst whiny meatball cub fans.
