Blackout Friday Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 There are some hare-brained trade proposals in the Soxtalk offseason plan thread. It's hardly unique to Cubs fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point, feel the same with Rodon. He was incredible the last few months but received very little hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) 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.

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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

BamaDoc Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Schwarber, Soler, Baez, Almora, P Johnson for Q, Eaton and Melky. HAHA Cubbies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Rowland Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 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.

caulfield12 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 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.
