I really don't enjoy insulting people in person, or on a message board. Unless it's enjoyable. But you really can't be this off. Farnsworth was abusing alcohol and PED's his entire time with the Cubs. Almost all of the incidents you hold so fondly were on his own. The reason he's still in the league is because he can pump 98 regularly, and probably still has great masking agents.

I want to offer an explanation of what I hope you mean. You don't want the team to simply accept getting spanked hard. You'd like to see a pitching staff that establishes the inside corner, which is a big part of baseball. The problem is the majority of the current Cubs pitching staff can't do that. Much of that comes from having the velocity and control. That makes you a top level pitcher. Otherwise, you're a headhunting assclown, which you seem to not only find acceptable, but the type of guy you want.

"chin music" is as old as the game itself. 12 HR's in two games? Like I have suspected all year,the Cubs "coaches" are sleeping. Why is it acceptable for Sveum to have a crap team and manage like he doesn't care but Dusty Baker & the other bald guy last year are mocked.

Svuem got ejected last night. He'd seen enough.

but why are they brushing people back? Is it some kind of masculinity contest? Or is it a strategic decision to establish the plate for the pitcher, as drop in opines?

he'd heard they were serving Giordannos for the post game spread and wanted to get a head start.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

They are throwing BP because these guys are not major leaguers...same thing would happen if you sent Castro down to AAA...the problem is talent not attitude...most of these turds will never get a chance in the bigs again.

I would cover for SHARK, Drop In, Dave in Champaign, my Mom, and Urlacher's Missing Neck. After that, the list gets pretty thin. There are a few people about whom I would definitely fabricate charges.

The team better look completely different. There are some trades to be made and Theo and Co have to do a better job because other than the Rizzo deal last seasons trades all look pretty bad.

Again, this is a bad premise from the start. A bum team throwing at people, or getting pissy, is a laughingstock. Looking at you Camps. Running out every play, and getting pissed about losing is what I would like to see. Hopefully that's what everyone wants to see.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

You've apparently pronounced Ian Stewart bad. I will wait till next season.

What about the under the radar Justin Germano "acquisition"...

Ian Stewart pronounced Ian Stewart bad.

Losing is a disease...

so, guy, who'd you rather have? Theo or Hendry?

well, these guys are going to be dead from it by next July then. Or they'll adjust and just play better without the useless empty emotion of anger in baseball.

Give up.

Travis Wood and Ian Stewart are EXACTLY who I thought they were..bad
