I think Al would support SOPA & PIPA

if doing so could have somehow prevented this signing from occurring.

And in case there’s any confusion… click here.

Without doing any research whatsoever

There have to be a dozen pitchers out there better than Lopez who can get the minimum

Lopez was the second best starter for half of last season.

I’d much rather see him make a spot start than Coleman or Sonnanstine. But at the very least he eats innings for Iowa. The angst of signing Rolo to a non-guaranteed minor league deal is incredibly overblown and unwarranted.

You must be talking about a different Lopez. Or a different team. Or a different planet.

Theo mentioned wanting to re-sign RoLo during the Winter Meetings.

I guess he wasn’t kidding after all.

Lopez had the 2nd best ERA among starters on the Cubs.

He’s not very good, but some of the hate is unwarranted. It shows how terrible the starting rotation was last year.

I initially thought this title said:

‘Al is saved in the world’

"Keep pushin' til' it's understood. And these badlands start treating us good."

by AussieCub on Jan 19, 2012 10:36 PM CST reply actions  

In light of this signing...

…it’s precisely the opposite.

I don't think this is terrible

Rolo was ok. The angst really should be saved for Davis & Ortiz. I’d be OK with him getting the last spot in the bullpen if no one else steps up.
