whitesoxfan101 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/6466010 (From his article "Offseason Winners and Losers") A league of their own Cubs: Hoo boy. Their total free-agent payout was $297.55 million — not including $10.5 million for new manager Lou Piniella — and they still can't identify their center fielder or promise a formidable rotation. The job security of GM Jim Hendry could hinge on free-agent left-hander Ted Lilly and righty Jason Marquis, two league-average pitchers who cost a combined $61 million. Imagine if the rotation collapses and the Cubs then fail to sign potential free-agent right-hander Carlos Zambrano. Hoo boy! Now I'm not normally Cuck the Fubs esque, Cub hating obsessed. HOWEVER, this offseason of hearing how bad we are when we aren't, and how good the Cubs are when they aren't has made me a bit annoyed. I can't wait until Memorial Day and the Cubs boners around here see this common sense play itself out. Enjoy 4th or 5th place, kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm excuse me? When did they not finish in last place in 2006? I had a moronic cub fan friend of mine tell me a few weeks back that I need to let go of the 2005 White Sox championship because it was in the past, and that sox fans are now obsessed with winning a championship years ago. I laughed at him, and then told him that I was at game 2, I remember the feel of the cold rain on my face, I remember what it felt like when Scotty Pods hit the walk off. I remember the feeling after the clincher in game four. I suggested that he obtain a ouiji board to contact someone who can say the same about the last cubs championship.

Umm excuse me? When did they not finish in last place in 2006? last time I checked, they haven't won a game yet this year, so I don't know how they can claim they still aren't the loveable losers.

whitesoxfan101 Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 White Sox fans will let go of 2005 as soon as Cubs fans let go of "WE WERE ONLY FIVE OUTS AWAY in 2003!!!11111" (aka, when we win again). I think we'll be letting go of ours first, if you pardon the expression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 You know what's going to be fun? Watching Soriano play CF in Wrigley during a high sky day and a nice little breeze coming off the lake. Good luck with that, Fonz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
