    Wrigley Field is like the Mecca of Baseball. That's usually a decisive factor when these elite FAs come up.
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    I like to call myself a "supporter" anyway because it sounds Euro and douchey.
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    I didn't see the play, but I'm not surprised Ramirez was the one put out. Probably lack of hustle.
  4. Hairyducked Idiot
    Randall Simon just screamed in anger and doesn't know why.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    Albert Pujols on pace to account for 1,458 outs this season.
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    LaRussa told him to do that.
  7. Hairyducked Idiot
    Why just his last 400 PA?
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's not conventional wisdom when we are all of one groupthinking mind. It's just wisdom.

    I have no idea. It's certainly possible he stays in that range. So why not let him bat 2nd so that he gets more PA instead of being banished to the doldrums of the lineup? Why would you WANT him batting 6-7 in the lineup? For a player that doesn't fit into the Cubs' long term plans to hit #2 instead? If you've got a player who is this important and is, hopefully, as skilled as he seems then I'd rather see what he can do in more important roles sooner rather than later. I'm not really worried about his "role" in the lineup. Hitting is hitting. The number of at-bats he gets this year out of a lower spot, with regular playing time, should be plenty for his development. I think the Cubs are close enough to contention that they shouldn't be throwing away runs unnecessarily playing suboptimal lineups. But I guess I have my answer. Why? Because he's developing for the future.

    I could be wrong, but I'm not expecting him to be one of the better hitters in the lineup. He stands a pretty decent chance of being our 6th or 7th best hitter. Seriously?? Last year, he was definitely worse than Soto, Fukudome and Soriano. He was pretty much even with Byrd. Throw in bounceback years from Pena and Ramirez, and he'd be the 7th best hitter in the lineup. Obviously there can be a lot of variance in the upcoming year, but I don't think that's unreasonable to guess.

    Why does everyone love Castro batting second so much?
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    Why? You think he's a roider. I am generally pro-roider.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    Why?
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    I think I read about 2,000 posts between him and CubbyRich talking about how evil he is. Oh, and Kyle hates Pujols, too. I do?

    http://joeposnanski.blogspot.com/2011/03/men-of-honor.html Chass is exposed for the bitter old liar he is in fantastic fashion.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's a minor league deal. He's not expected to break camp with the team and will likely begin the season in AAA. At least he's playing baseball again. Every time a conversation like this occurs, I get the urge to poop wherever Dusty Baker has been recently standing.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    Too much math for me to know if he's right or not, but it makes intuitive sense. My pet theory is that it's hard to find players specifically tailored to Wrigley, unlike other parks.

    I've seen this question going around a lot lately, and a lot of the people around here have sons. A few years ago, it would have been a silly question, but it seems like the studies on head trauma that keep coming out are causing some parents to think twice.

    you only said that so that when an elephant falls on my car next year, you can look back at this thread and say people were worried about elephants falling on my car and since there were "non-zero" posts about it in this thread, you were right. You win this round. If an elephant did fall on his car, we're not allowed to look back and think that this thread was interesting in retrospect.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm not your boy, son.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    That doesn't sound like fun. My point is that his shoulder was on the radar too. The fact that it was non-zero proves that. And it wasn't just mentioned in passing by some nutjob poster. It was listed in a Sun-Times article as a reason the Cubs were concerned about giving him a long-term contract.

    oh nuts
