2012 Chicago Cubs

I think Dempster's going to suck and I already don't like him. So there is my answer. 

[Saul Goodman]

Have we decided who we are going to hate this season yet?

Darwin Barney?

The only Asian dude on the team? No.

I'd be all for the glorious Japanese woman you posted in the WTF Japan thread, but Asian Theriot? Meh.

[PenPho]

Have we decided who we are going to hate this season yet?

This has been a pretty burning question for me for the last few weeks.

I'm going with Soto, by default, but I feel like I have a really high capacity for change with this team right now.

I want Dempster and the other gutless assholes to play like All-Stars so Epstoyer can trade them away for prospects who are actually good at baseball.

It's gotta be Snork. Or possibly this Joe Mather guy who I know nothing about but I imagine is a less talented Sam Fuld that dipshits will embrace.

Wait up there, pardner.  When Sam Fuld smushed his face into the ivy to rob a batter of a double he made my list of all time favorite Cubs. 

[Slaky]

I've got a strong distaste for Darwin Barney already. If he continues to be a bitch hitter all season with his empty .290 batting average I'll continue hating his guts.

If Samardzija stumbles he'll be a real easy target.

Seems like everyone hates Dempster but I actually don't.

[BH]

I'll always hate blake dewitt and jeff baker.

The Sun-Times talking about the possibility of trading Wells, the "6th starter":

"General manager Jed Hoyer emphasized the importance of pitching depth when asked about his willingness to trade a starter.



``Trading out of [that depth] can be complicated,'' he said. ``We definitely don't take having depth lightly.''

WTF?  Depth?  The Cubs' starters?  The Cubs are deep in starting pitching?  If "depth" means that the Cubs have six guys who can pitch deep into the second inning then I guess that they are "deep" in starting pitchers.

Damn.  Wells was my pick-to-hate too.

Seems like everyone hates Dempster but I actually don't.

He likes to do impressions and that outweighs being an outstanding starter for 3 of the last 4 years. It's simple math.

That kind of depth causes spinal injuries.

Good point.  Let's ignore the fact that this unicycle pedalling paragon to Northside asshattery has managed to pitch the Cubs out of the playoffs in two seperate seasons because he's had a whopping three  really good regular seasons.

Yay?  

*rolls eyes*

Fuck him.

[Bort]

Snork stays in the FIREBARN until he proves otherwise.

Fuck it. He's in there even he wins the goddamn Cy Young.

[Gilgamesh]

For absolutely no reason, I'm going with Ian Stewart.

[Armchair_QB]

Neifi.
