IST: Cubs vs. Marlins

[CSF77]

Are you working in the Cubs Front Office? If not, you are powerless over what they do and instead of being the dopiest poster on CCS, perhaps you should just consider shutting the front door.

I don't think that he will get all of that. You should ask him if he has any muscles outside of the cranial zone of the body.

I'm tired of the excuses for Darvish. Either produce or don't. And if not, get the **** out.

Yeah, you show those players who you're never going to be in charge of who's boss, tough guy!

 

[beckdawg]

Lot of conversation I'm really not following in here. I'm guessing I made the right choice in ignoring someone based on the comments others are making. So I guess props to the ignore feature

Well, Theo did not want to do it, but he got stuck with the Zobrist thing and Descalso to IL. Dont know about Zobrist, but last week Bote had a big game and Maddon "promised" a start to Zobrist and Zo said Bote had a big game, give him the start.

I would not be surprised if part of Zo's personal reasons was to get his team mate back up here.

Either way, if Addison chokes, he will be back in AAA or in jail.

Props to Crane Kenney for making everyone aware of what the upside down OK sign now means. I heard it was a punch me deal in high schools, then got put onto the white supremacy.

I apologize for anyone I have ever been around when I did the two upside down OK signs with my eyes looking thru the circle to make a mask on my face.

If the Cubs were so against him playing because of politics, necessity wouldn't matter.

Why are you still here?

You melted down over the bad start and proclaimed the team as complete garbage.

What a cheap way to get a run. BABIP monster hate kyle today

 

[TL1961]

Nah. Players don’t listen at that level unless they want instruction. They’ve heard everything by that point. Go out to a Little League game sometime and listen to the stupid stuff being said. The. Think of all the practices and things said and preached. Lather, rinse, repeat every year.

Well, I certainly hope the coaches we hired are better than little league coaches. And any coach preaching "how" during the game itself is doing it wrong.

Wow thought for sure he'd beat that out..

Wasted a run opportunity there

Cubs ban fan for using ‘offensive’ hand gesture behind on-air reporter

CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs say a fan who appeared to use an offensive hand gesture associated with racism behind an on-air television reporter Tuesday will be banned from Wrigley Field. Reporter Do…

I am not familiar with the circle game, but I read that's what that gesture meant. I also don't think the Cubs should be held responsible for every action of every fan.

General rule of thumb, if you have to google it to know if you should be offended, you should probably not be offended.

I mean the gesture has come to recent prominence given someone did something very similar during a confirmation hearing in congress. As I said before, i'm not sure you ban someone for life for doing it but no matter what he thought he was doing he was acting like an idiot.

He's doing his very best to get banned....again....which still makes me laugh. What kind of an asshole do you have to be to get banned from a sports forum?

Just curious if he said anything regarding it or if anyone asked??
I mean, how did the cubs organization investigate it, by reading social media

Supposedly they attempted to contact him multiple ways and got no response leading to the ban.

It's not really our problem. It's on the Cubs. I can see their reasoning why they don't just launch him. Someone would bite the bullet and gobble him up...can't just give away assets like that. It's their only realistic option.....let him try and rebuild his reputation. Hopefully he can turn things around in his life and the Cubs can then do what they want with him.

Um... i'm not talking about Russell. I'm talking about the dude who flashed the white power hand gesture last night during a glandville interview

If it's meant as a white power signal, I certainly am not OK with that. I guess I just don't pay enough attention to what is a symbol of that lately. There are so damn many racist people it's disgusting. I saw conflicting interpretations today. Some were saying it was a game. If a racist gesture, that's no game. (Even if the racists hijacked it, stop using it in your game.)

Talking baseball. I'm still amazed over the love this forum has for Darvish, the biggest pussy in the MLB.

You must be reading words the rest of us can't see.

I doubt it..

Do you suppose our Ryan is scratching his head as to why Rojas didn’t take the out at first?
