I’ve heard nothing but good things about that show. Since I don’t have cable/HBO, I’m a few years behind the times – I’m currently working through the Sopranos.
this guy is a cards fan. Instead of enjoying their best team since 2004 and a team that is currently kicking ass he spends his time at a CUB blog so he can belittle their right fielder?
Now, has there been one single person here defending the use of racial slurs? If not why are you arguing with those that simply boo him. Are they closet racists?
The Bradley hate thread did me in for a bit. I’m going to have one last night of frivolity before the kid comes and play video games or read Percy Jackson or look at porn or something.
Despite some trolls, I think today was pretty tame — and there were some good discussions. 2009 clearly isn’t our year. But we’ve been in this situation before. I’m kinda looking forward to playing some kids and regrouping for 2010.
risking the health of these guys for what promises to be a pretty ugly balance of the season. When you drop 2 of 3 to arguably the worst team in baseball at home, there’s really not a lot of hope left in the tank. Give Rami and Sori (and the delicate flower Bradley) the rest of the season to mend. Send ROY/Sophomore Skid Soto to a fat farm. And fire sale whatever tix are left for this season because the fannies are slowly going to stop filling the seats. Oh wait..they are still serving beer so the seats will remain fairly full.

Apparently, some guys were just waived, and taken, recently.
Who knows who was waived, and when.
But an NL team just claimed Heilman.

I don't know what show it's from
but I’ve heard that line a LOT.
For what it’s worth, Bushmills Black Bush is my favorite.
wallrock - August 27, 2009
It's from THE WIRE, the greatest television show of all time.
Exhibit A: Jimmy McNulty.
I bet the cops on that show drink 6-10 bottles of Jamo every other episode.
dtpollitt - August 27, 2009
That would explain it
I’ve heard nothing but good things about that show. Since I don’t have cable/HBO, I’m a few years behind the times – I’m currently working through the Sopranos.

THE WIRE is the single greatest form of entertainment media in the last decade, probably two.

wait wait wait
this guy is a cards fan. Instead of enjoying their best team since 2004 and a team that is currently kicking ass he spends his time at a CUB blog so he can belittle their right fielder?
how pathetic is that?
CalCalender - August 27, 2009
Very pathetic.

what a piece of crap
DC Cubbie - August 27, 2009
No reason to boo Milton there
He had a bad day, so what? Yes, he’s kind of a prick, but I don’t blame him.
rencelas - August 27, 2009
I blame him for his season, and that fact he is an idiot.
DC Cubbie - August 27, 2009

cubsluver22 - August 27, 2009
He thinks those
yelling racial slurs are racist.
sue369 - August 27, 2009
which they are
but you have grouped those people with those that simply boo him.
Ryanocm1 - August 27, 2009
no I have not
sue369 - August 27, 2009
Ok then we should be ok
anyone who yells racial slurs is a racist.
Anyone who boos based on his performance is not.
We on the same page so far?
Now, has there been one single person here defending the use of racial slurs? If not why are you arguing with those that simply boo him. Are they closet racists?
Ryanocm1 - August 27, 2009
no
sues saying gameboard is saying that the people yelling racist stuff are racists. not the people booing
jesus christos - August 27, 2009
No one is disagreeing with Milton
so why is there such a debate?
Ryanocm1 - August 27, 2009
sorry if my comment started this
I didn’t mean to insinuate Milton thinks all those that boo are racists, it was offhand comment. My bad
DC Cubbie - August 27, 2009
DC Cubbie asked if
Milton thought those booing were racist. I said no he thinks the people saying racial slurs are racist. I never said those who boo are racist.
I hate booing of any kind.

He only earned about $5 million this year, IIRC.
Yay, back-loaded contracts!

Soriano a much worse contract than Bradleys IMO
Cardsfansince62 - August 27, 2009

Ramirez and Soriano have played their last 2009 games. Let them get healthy for next year.
I want Bradley’s bat back, but if needs a break to get his head right… then that’s what he should get.
Worf - August 27, 2009
by trolls you mean
the fans who could see this train wreck of season back in May when we were playing like crap and had no team chemistry?
BeltwayCubsFan - August 27, 2009
That's exacltly what they mean

Tell the truth and they do not like it.
TJ11 - August 27, 2009
There's no point
risking the health of these guys for what promises to be a pretty ugly balance of the season. When you drop 2 of 3 to arguably the worst team in baseball at home, there’s really not a lot of hope left in the tank. Give Rami and Sori (and the delicate flower Bradley) the rest of the season to mend. Send ROY/Sophomore Skid Soto to a fat farm. And fire sale whatever tix are left for this season because the fannies are slowly going to stop filling the seats. Oh wait..they are still serving beer so the seats will remain fairly full.
