2010-11 Cubs Offseason: I, For One, Welcome Our New .196-Hitting Overlord

[PenPho]

This is depressing.

It's as if your avatar is looking RIGHT AT THAT PICTURE!

I just decided to hate all three of those guys. I was completely indifferent about them independently, but when I saw them lumped together I wanted to hate.  

I liked Baker because he meant the end of Ryan Freel.

Then something happened and he never left.

So now I hate him and I can't wait until they acquire the next asshole to replace him.  

[J. Walter Weatherman]

I liked Baker because he meant the end of Ryan Freel.

I always forget about Farney.

Until someone goes and reminds me, that is.

[Waco Kid]

This is depressing.

On the bright side, at least it's not a quartet including Augie Ojeda.

Ryan Freel got welcomed to the Chi by BNCMike himself.  Because Freel was a BALLPLAYER.

How could anyone forget that?

I can't wait to welcome you back to the Chi, playa.

Sweet Lou is such a frontrunner.

The more I think about it the more I think that "Darwin Barney" is a great name.  I don't know that it is a great name for a baseball player, but it would easily fit into a Sherlock Holmes story.  Not as a major villain, but maybe as the troubled client who comes to Holmes for help in finding his lost Dalmation, or maybe his daughter is eloping with a Middle Eastern potentate's son.

Darwin Barney is a performer with a traveling circus.  Not yet proficient as a juggler, he earns his keep by limping out of  the crowd that is listening to the snake oil pitchman and suddenly regains the ability sing counter tenor in Italian.

Darwin Barney is the story of a boy and a dolphin who cast off together to save a town from a greedy and heartless oil magnate.  Coming in the Summer of 2011.  Rated G.

Darwin Barney, boy inventor and pennyless bicycle mechanic, is secretly in love with the wealthy young heiress, Virginia McCaskey.  But she is infatuated with the ne'er do well playboy, Blake Dewitt, who has stolen the patent for Barney's four wheeled "Quadcycle"  and dashed Barney's hopes of ever marrying the beautiful Virginia McCaskey

If this thing includes a scene where Darwin and Blake engage in a harrowing race down Dead Man's Hill on penny-farthings, I'm sold.

I never stopped hating Jim Edmonds, just because I thought this would eventually happen...
