Ricketts Family Annoyance Thread

[Slaky]

Yayyyyyyy.....

So no source, no nothing.

[Saul Goodman]

Yep, it's just stated as fact. But it's Bob freaking Nightengale, man. Take that to the bank.

[Brownie]

Apparently, Chuck Garfien has a bone to pick with Ricketts. (Note the comments.)

That's the only Chuck G. I could think of...

What's the over/under on him saying we just had a few injuries. And that this season sucked because of Zambrano.

I'll take the over on "yes," I suppose.

He's going to announce that the delicious bison dogs will now be available in foot-long form.

He's back to dicuss the future and the Cubs, too. Or he's discussing Back to the Future II and the Cubs.

Either way, just four more years, thanks to some exclusive video of 2015 Todd Ricketts got from his crystal ball!

Yes. It's going to be awesome. By 2015, they'll have cured Parkinson's!

If Hendry gets fired, Yeti will have redemption. A few years off doesn't matter.

That's a great question because nobody seems to know that answer right now. Quade does believe in player development. He's also managing to retain his own job. That can only usually be quantified in wins. Time will tell as to how he will decide playing time for vets and young players.

This is all well and good but unless we're talking about Colvin, who stinks, all the young players are already playing. There aren't any young players that are major league ready. What's the debate? When people keep screaming for Quade to "play the youngsters" do they just mean Colvin? Dolan has already hammered home the fact that he's the same age as Blake DeWitt. I don't hear anyone screaming for DeWitt to get more playing time. Oh, that's right - we need upcoming superstar Darwin Barney to play every day. Because Darwin Barney's OPS+ of 87 is so much better than DeWitt's of 85.

ALSO DARWIN BARNEY IS TWO MONTHS OLDER THAN DEWITT.

If our class A park were better, our prospects would be better.

Thank you for typing out all my Cubs rage today so I didn't have to. Much more enjoyable to sit back and read it.

This front office has AIDS in the portion of its brain responsible for making decisions.

You are right......but Colvin is a lot younger than Reed Johnson.
