    Should we leave Javy in AAA all year and two weeks next year to avoid wasting his service time on this turd of a team?
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm pretty happy if we just get .290-hitting, 3-win Castro for the next six years.
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    I don't think we can out-tank the Astros, but I'm feeling pretty confidence about our ability to secure No. 2 overall pick. Meanwhile the Brewers are at 40% to make the playoffs.
  4. Hairyducked Idiot
    You mean like all baseball players? well, all baseball players that walk, strikeout, or hit a home run in exactly half of their career plate appearances, yes. all baseball players either walk, hit singles, hit doubles, hit triples, hit home runs, hit into outs, strike out, or get hit by pitches in all their plate appearances. wildly inconsistent! Sometimes they reach on catcher's interference.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    Need to get Villanueva through this inning so he can be eligible for the win if we rally in the bottom half.
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm not clear on why that makes him more inconsistent.
  7. Hairyducked Idiot
    One pace for a 7-WAR season
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    One more rehab start, I think.
  9. Hairyducked Idiot
    Less of this digression and more about how Junior Lake is right-handed Tyler Colvin
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    We have two position players I have confidence in to be average MLB starters.
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm not. But I think what he says makes the most sense, and I thought it before he said it. We don't look competitive for 2015, we don't look like there's a serious chance of keeping Samardzija, and we're not getting high-end, near-ready talent for him. And I doubt we'd take lesser talent just for the sake of it being near-ready. The most logical assumption is that we're sending him out for high-impact, further away pitching prospects. Betting on this front office to aim for competitiveness later rather than sooner has never been the popular bet, but it keeps being the right one. And given the exact state of our roster right now, I can't say that I blame them. Well, I mean, I blame them for the roster not being that great, but I understand why they might say the roster isn't that great so we're not ready yet.
  12. Hairyducked Idiot
    Can we agree that the decision on whether trade Samardzija and the return will be a pretty strong indicator of the direction the team intends to go in the next year or two?
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    Well, if Samardzija had made up his mind that he wanted out, what would it look like? They'd probably put on a public face about how an extension was still possible, but there wouldn't really be any specific rumors leaking out about the sides negotiating or getting closer. They'd probably try to maintain a public face that he might not be traded, but all the beat writers would be convinced he's going and that's what all the rumors would say. So basically, what's happening now.
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    It makes sense. Pitchers don't need as much time to adjust to the majors as hitters do, and we're aiming for 2016 at the earliest. I mean, it is depressing and we can get mad that they have been doing such a crummy job. But with the players we have right now in the system and the organizational philosophy in place, aiming for 2016 or 2017 is the right move. Which means trading Samardzija for A and AA guys is the right move. You can come up with scenarios where we're competitive in 2015, but they involve assuming things like all of our upside plays hitting or 22-year-old hitters putting up 5+ WAR seasons in their first full year in the majors.

    I didn't think that was that bad. He should have been more careful with his knee, but the St. Louis guy shouldn't have tried to dance like that. Take the hit and don't put yourself in harm's way with sprawling limbs.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    Pretty sure the only St Louis team to play a Chicago team in the playoffs are the Blues and Hawks. And we've beaten them in the playoffs before, though it has been awhile.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'd rather win than lose, but it's gonna take more than a first-round loss to get me to feel angsty about this team. Flags fly forever. http://kevinschulke.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/chicago-blackhawks-stanley-cup.jpg And they are still very capable of winning this series.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    We can win it without Seabrook. Ban him for life!!!!! Honestly? I wouldn't even care. I honestly thought Hossa was dead when it happened to him in the playoffs. I cringe every time I see Toews take a hit. Did you see the way Backes kept trying to stand up but couldn't? These guys are doing serious, long-term brain injury to each other and it's not fun to watch when they do. The suspensions we have aren't working. And that is literally the last thing I'll say on the subject so we can go back to rooting for the Hawks. If we score here, we win this series in five.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    We can win it without Seabrook.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    I wouldn't care if he was out for the playoffs and some of the next regular season. They have to get rid of this stuff in hockey.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'll be happy if we come out of it with Jonathan Toews still alive. He's getting an elbow to the head before it is over.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    Good. #@%#@$ you Seabrook
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    When the retaliation comes for Toews I hope he survives.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    I disagree Backes was low. He was low, but Seabrook saw that he was low and used it as a chance to go for his head. I can't stand that.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    I don't care how long he's out for. He was headhunting. I am so sick of that in hockey. If he's out and we get swept then we deserve it.
