  1. gale sayers is wearing combination sun/reading glasses
  2. really glad all these mediocre guys are here while sammy sosa sits at home (on top of a pile of money, but still)
  3. i am really excited for when they bring out sam zell so ricketts can shoot him in the back of the head
  4. really dumb on ruggiano's part. also, how the hell do you score that? does rizzo get a hit since ruggiano made it to the next base safely?
  5. it is absolutely stupid that valbuena doesn't take home here
  6. what is the "looking through a backwards peace sign" thing that castro and valbuena (and possibly others) do?
  7. I don't doubt that especially given Baez recent bouts of churlish behavior. I am so on the Bryant bandwagon. as bryant's stock rises and baez's stands still, the urge to just group these guys together and wait to bring them both up until after the super-two cutoff next year is only going to rise. we're not trying/going to win next year anyway.
  8. shout out to the 200 people at the game tonight
  9. absent castillo, this is pretty much the dream lineup everyone is wishing for right now, yes? maybe bonifacio for ruggiano, i guess, but i think i'd lean this way.
  10. i thought brandon mccarthy was a handsome dude, why does he look like such a stupid nerd in that picture
  11. i loooove the ss just continuing to jog past the base once he sees the stupid throw
  12. LOL Baez will put up a line like .080/.120/.500 in his first 50 MLB PAs. Baez does whatever the [expletive] he wants including putting up impossible BA/SLG ratios. He'll be the only person in baseball history to average 6 TB/H. I really want to see Brian McCann's face as he rounds home. it will pretty awesome on the days when doing what the [expletive] he wants includes playing matball
  13. maybe this is just me, but i like len and jd enough that it is pretty much preferable when they mostly ignore the game and just talk about other things. i wish it happened more.
  14. baez is not one of the top five hitters in the organization today. he's still doing that thing where he forgets how to hit when he starts a new level. if you put him in chicago today he'd hit like .075 (but the only hits would be home runs, so that would be kind of cool).
  15. i like rizzo but i will acknowledge his face is not so great
  16. kris bryant should not be on that list of guys who might get promoted and contribue to your fantasy team unless your league counts iowa stats
  17. probably don't bang into a wall while throwing the ball next time, sweeney
  18. absolutely no one thinks he's pujols, come on
  19. yeah, if we're getting an A-ball guy i'd rather just hold onto him on the off-chance we accidentally re-sign him or someone offers something better down the line. doubly so if we're going to stupidly try to limit ourselves to the teams that happen to have catcher prospects. Yeah, though one of the most depressing parts seems to be that Samardzija simply wants out no matter what because he recognizes the Everlasting Turd surrounding him. that's a very good point. he has a lot of reason to want out unless we not only pay properly but overpay, and that's unquestionably his right. he's given us the best years of his career and we've done [expletive] all with them. hopefully if that is the case, the front office recognizes it and ignores everything i've posted in this thread and trades him at the earliest opportunity.

  21. cubs will win plenty on four twenty - ernie banx
