  1. if jason motte becomes the closer the season is canceled
  2. First time hearing about this. This country is in dire need of a severe eugenics program. lenny if you keep misbehaving you're going to make it awkward for both of us
  3. lost in 2/3 leagues. thanks a-rodg.
  4. i don't even hate the 2013 cubs. of course i don't hate the 04 team.
  5. This is hardly a low risk high reward situation. The risk is very real that you threw away $4.5m on a guy that will provide nothing. The reward is maybe one season of a good reliever. the risk also included that fact that when he sucks, his stupid contract will give him way more leash than he deserves.
  6. Len strikes me as the type who could be a crazy insomniac. also, baseball announcer insomniac who wanders chicago alone in the middle of the night kind of sounds like the hook to a sad indie movie.
  7. could use a fresh coat of paint.
  8. in conclusion let's all root for stanton to break all of his limbs beyond repair five years from now
  9. are there any good defensive lf that are white and have the same build as coghlan and could play lf without the other team noticing? this doesn't seem like it should be that difficult to pull off, especially if "coghlan's" new gimmick is holding his glove over his face in the field.
  10. http://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/cubs-have-the-cardinals-attention/article_5d3f0e11-272a-59d0-831f-f882c61df093.html someone post imb's hell picture
  11. lol the 25 best cubs games of the year are only available illegally if you live in the middle of illinois. plus probably a bunch more when they sell the rest to ota wgn. go a's?
  12. old plan tom threw his clothes from the first few frames into the trash can. i couldn't draw sweat pants hanging over the side of the trash can for the life of me, though.
  13. one afternoon in late september, tom ricketts sat down to watch the cubs on his new television http://i.imgur.com/6mHlz0c.jpg his team's starting pitcher did not have a very good game that day http://i.imgur.com/WdW3ZOd.jpg tom was so upset that he sent his lackey out on an errand to help him get his rage out http://i.imgur.com/wE01QPa.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Gma5Zpd.jpg just then, tom had an epiphany http://i.imgur.com/76yXWbc.jpg "i'm a freaking billionaire! why do i buy all this garbage stuff when i could buy awesome stuff instead?" tom wasted no time in effecting this change http://i.imgur.com/WNE91c7.jpg with the decision made, tom now just needed to inform theo of the new plan http://i.imgur.com/wiDjH0n.jpg theo took the news well http://i.imgur.com/R645nxe.gif newfound cash in hand, theo immediately set his sights on his old pal, jon lester. theo thought he might be swayed by an artist’s depiction of lester himself winning game 7 of the world series for the cubs. but could theo find an artist of the requisite magnitude capable of putting such a thing together? http://i.imgur.com/aGckDas.jpg http://i.imgur.com/w7CEvZ4.jpg http://i.imgur.com/kCnHX2Y.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jW69txG.jpg treymon's work did not disappoint http://i.imgur.com/gbZlffp.jpg treymon truly earned his $300,000 fee. upon seeing the picture, lester agreed to sign with the cubs for $10/hour on two conditions: that he be allowed to visit the other interested clubs out of respect for their doomed efforts, and that he be allowed to lie about how much he was making in order to impress his in-laws (and their friends). the cubs agreed and the deal was made. all that was left now was to keep the deal quiet until it was time to make the announcement. how hard could that be? http://i.imgur.com/JjFUnJb.jpg despite all of this excitement, it is important to not go overboard in our expectations. there is a limit to how much one man can accomplish during his time on this earth. http://i.imgur.com/ZCCfZIq.jpg
  14. 2014's davOS update runs like garbage on a device this old. going to have to just deal with this until we get a new one.
  15. I'm assuming you're a Jeff Sullivan > Dave Cameron guy? hopefully everyone is an x>dave cameron guy
  16. also mccarthy is great on twitter but i always expected him to get more money than i'd like given his injury history. and that was before this four-year nonsense happened.
  17. king crane is the just clown kenney with a scepter
  18. i did, but i couched it by telling the full story ("i am a moron who believes this guy on the internet knows jon lester's family")
  19. I mean it's not really going to happen but like Castillo could C and DH and backup 1b and maybe learn to play emergency LF. But I'm grasping because I don't want to come to terms with the fact that we're going to tear up an awesome catching platoon just for the classic veteran defensive backup who is a skid mark inside the batter's box. i'm with you completely on this one. doing anything with castillo besides dumping him for trash sounds great to me. he seems like a guy we should be able to find non-widely accepted value from if we are as smart as i want us to be.
  20. we are smart, pitchers bat 8th
