OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Yep, it's just stated as fact. But it's Bob freaking Nightengale, man. Take that to the bank.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

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

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

This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

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

QuoteThat'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.

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.

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