2011 Chicago Cubs: Career Years for Everyone!

[Richard Chuggar]

One notable exception I can think of would be Kyle Farnsworth.

Someone erased all memory of Todd Hundley from the PANKase?

I thought about Hundley but decided he was just a post-roidal shitty ballplayer and the booze and blow had nothing to do with it, even though he was immersed in it.

What about me guys??!?!??!

The booze caught up to Eckersley in 1986. Not good.

Whatever Piniella's failings may have been last year, at least he recognized that Kevin Millar sucks.

"We like to know when we play so we know if we can stay out late the night before," Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano said Monday. "We asked him in Atlanta, 'Let us know when we play, and when we have a day off.' And he said, 'Yes,' but he never did it. That doesn't make everybody comfortable able to manager their hangovers.

Wow. A manager who liked to keep his players on their toes.  How awful that must have been.

Guh.

Is chuck still upset that soriano goes out at night? Why is this even a topic of conversation? If soriano looked like broxton, I'd be concerned that maybe he should get in shape more, but by all accounts, Soriano is pretty fit. I've spent lots of time in bars, am pretty good at my job and have yet to tear a hammy, so I don't think the two are related - that's what my scientific study tells me.

I'm not upset.  He can do whatever the fuck he wants.  I just would like a little more honesty about why he wants to know if he's playing or not and an understanding that posting lineups 1 day vs. 1 hour in advance should make no difference on his ability to swing at balls 2 feet outside.

"We like to know when we play so we know if we can stay out late the night before"

Honesty?  I'd say there's very few baseball players that would be this blatantly honest in the press.

If he goes sincere on us next, we'll know the apocalypse is nigh.

There's a chance you know this and I'm being obtuse, but Soriano's actual quote didn't say the part about staying out late.  We're in Chucktown here.

I apologize, that was borderline and I should have colored the font green.

Damn it.  You're just so tough to read, CT.

Cashner left with shoulder tightness? Hope Larry didn't take all his towels with him to New York.

You think Silva would sign for the league minimum? Hell, it's like he's getting a raise!

[morpheus]

And Mateo just came in and shit the bed.  Great?

[Gilgamesh]

3-2, high water mark.

Suck it, NL Central!

[SKO]

I do not dislike this team as it has performed up till now. I just can't fathom what it will take for Snork to be banned from the team forever. It's been three years now since he's done anything even remotely good. Even Jimbo can't be this fucking stubborn, can he?

[fiveouts]

3-2, high water mark.

Suck it, NL Central!

As I found out on the broadcast today, that's the high water mark since October 2009, actually.  That's a fucking kick in the balls.

It means our new ownership "gets it." Ricketts' plan is finally coming together.
