December 12, 201510 yr We should also give them Sale and Abreu and then take turns jerking off Theo. This is just blind fandom and embarrassing for actual Cub fans.
December 12, 201510 yr QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 12, 2015 -> 03:28 PM) You can go up to Clark between Newport and Grace tonight and see how off base they are if you want. My best friend lived there until last year, I have plenty of friends that live in and around wrigleyville. I have no problems with them
December 12, 201510 yr There are some hare-brained trade proposals in the Soxtalk offseason plan thread. It's hardly unique to Cubs fans.
December 12, 201510 yr I would say that there is a strange sentiment on the score right now of not knowing that Eaton actually had a pretty good year.

December 12, 201510 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 12, 2015 -> 11:27 PM) I would say that there is a strange sentiment on the score right now of not knowing that Eaton actually had a pretty good year. 15th in fWAR for hitters after the ASB
December 12, 201510 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 12, 2015 -> 04:33 PM) 15th in fWAR for hitters after the ASB He's one of the weird cases where the national media, who can largely just check in on stats and general sentiment, have a better gauge on his value than local media, who stopped following the sox after Eaton's horrible first 2 months.

Great point, feel the same with Rodon. He was incredible the last few months but received very little hype.
December 12, 201510 yr Some scumbag cubs reporter: Hey we need another SP and a CF to fill our lineup... let's see... who's out there.. Oh hey Eaton and Quintana on the south side are signed to pretty team friendly deals, they should be good fit for us.. Let's see who I would trade for them... Maybe Soler and Baez since they are now expandable.. oh wait, maybe that's paying too much, because Cubs are better than Sox you know.. Let me think about it a little more... Somebody tell this scumbag maybe we will entertain them with Avi Garcia and John Danks instead. Edited December 12, 201510 yr by thxfrthmmrs
December 12, 201510 yr Ha, true, now that cubs reporters don't have the reflexive "we'll just trade Castro" they are really going to struggle.

I quit listening to that station about 6 months ago. The weekend or second string guys are mostly cub fans and that's all they would talk about. If I want Sox news I come here. Why waste time listening to them. Quit listening and you won't regret it!

December 12, 201510 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 12, 2015 -> 01:03 PM) They didn't win the WS yesterday? Remember when I told you they wouldn't win it this year ?
December 12, 201510 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 12, 2015 -> 02:54 PM) Don't listen to Mike Murphy I miss Murph on the Score, but he can be a loon. Not the aquatic bird.
December 12, 201510 yr QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Dec 12, 2015 -> 05:20 PM) I miss Murph on the Score, but he can be a loon. Not the aquatic bird. I agree. He was such a Cubs homer it was funny. He actually talked sports and games. He wasn't trying to make sports radio more than what it is.
December 13, 201510 yr Schwarber, Soler, Baez, Almora, P Johnson for Q, Eaton and Melky. HAHA Cubbies
December 13, 201510 yr I was talking to a bunch of cubs fans last night. Just to test the waters, i threw out a random trade proposal of "as cubs fans, would you trade Shwarber for Rodon straight up?" Responding "No" all around. Am I nuts to think they are nuts?

No, you are not nuts. I really like Schwarber's HR/OBP potential but I would not do that trade straight up. I admit that I tend value pitching first and foremost so I'm probably biased.

Funny coming from a fan base that went a bit goo goo over Q after they watched him strike out 10 cubs hitters at Wrigley.

Well, in their defense, their team was 3rd in team ERA last year. It had the NL bump, but, if that's weak, I'll take it.
December 13, 201510 yr Kendricks, Hammel, Haren and Wada were fairly pedestrian....it was just that Arrieta was that excellent, along with solid contributions from Lester. So pretty much like the White Sox, top heavy because of Sale and Q but not especially balanced. Rodon's second half really helped maintain the numbers as well as Shark tanked.
