    This period is fun.

    Tim Huwe is worth paying a bit more attention to than Yellon. I haven't read the Fire Theo article yet, though.

    dem Theo arms

    first throw-in in history that throws 99 I thought Olt was the throw-in.

    We are going to be Ivan Drago to their Apollo Creed.

    Bunt happens, runs don't score. Renteria walks up to Castillo in the dugout "When they ask about that bunt, I'll say I called it, avoid some of the heat." Except he says it in Spanish because that's why he was hired. It's pretty dumb to act like this would either be a) unheard of in sports or b) onerous or difficult to imagine.

    Hmm. If only players were allowed to communicate with managers and vice-versa. Then they'd have a chance to get their stories straight...

    Way to throw your player under the bus. If a reporter asked the question what is Renteria suppose to do? Lie? Yes.

    I agree that people are overreacting to the bunting, but this team deserves any anger directed at it that it gets.
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    I don't really care about Renteria's dumb smallballing but I'm glad it's gonna unite people in anger.

    Halfway through the 14th game, my desire to keep up with every game live has died. That's further than I thought it'd last.

    He plays baseball, normally in the outfield. No excuse for Junior Lake to not be getting at-bats. Don't care if he can't hit righties right now, he's never going to if you don't try. So?

    Bonifacio 1-for-20, though that was a nice PA.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    75% of doubleheaders are split. Moneyline is Cubs +149 Easy money.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    Because you were the *only* person saying that, right? I'm not the only person saying anything. But that doesn't stop people from trying to act like I am when they disagree.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    If you're negative about every prospect, you're bound to be right 90% of the time. Which seems like a good reason to be negative on them.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    Hendricks definitely has a sexy K:BB for AAA right now.

    The problem is, you seem to be putting a lot more blame on Theo/Hoyer than you should. The majority of the blame should be directed at the Ricketts who aren't broke. Forbes says the Cubs made 400 million in profit last season, there is no way Ricketts is broke unless he's just a horrible businessman. The rooftops situation is just an excuse for him not to spend money. I'm putting the *right* amount of blame on them, you're just not putting enough. And yeah, it turned out we weren't technically broke, we were just spending half our money on debt service and can't spend the other half because of our agreement with Zell. lt just wasn't a brilliant gambit by Epstein to divert all our old payroll to long-term investments and savings. And I really doubt Forbes said we made $400m in profit. I'm assuming that's a typo?

    You've reached a new level when you refer to yourself in the first person - nice job Kyle's got a record. Kyle's jumping for dollars. Kyle and George are gonna get rich. (the percentage of people you interact with on a daily basis who are too young for Seinfeld references is depressingly non-zero and growing every year).
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    The longer time goes on, the more people end up following my opinions. Remember when "maybe we're broke?" was just one of those laughable things Kyle said? What about "Brett Jackson strikes out too much and is a bust"?
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    Yeah. It's not like his job involves the major league team in any way.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    That's kinda cool.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    of all the things to be annoyed by today, i'll put "getting ryan sweeney at bats" pretty far down on the list. I have a broad capacity for annoyance.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    Reasoning like this is the reason it might be three years or more before we're actually contending.
