Bako agrees to terms with Cubs - twitterwoods - 01-30-2009
I guess I'm with Rok in that I'd rather have had Hill as opposed to Bako - but in the grander scheme of things, a catcher that's going to catch 30 games a year. Neither of them are world beaters at the plate. I'd take Hill based on the fact he's a switch hitter. While Bako is a good defensive backup - I recall in 07 hearing how before games, he'd play catch with the starting pitcher in the OF and talked strategy which the pitchers loved.
In the end, I doubt it will make much of a difference. However if Geo misses any significant time in 09, we'll miss Blanco.

This proves that people arguing sports will debate anything--and do it spiritively. Bako, Hill, Blanco--not gonna make much of a difference.

Yeah, that's very true. I can't imagine that anyone feels that strongly about our backup catching situation. I really don't care, but I don't have a problem voicing my preference. I don't hate Bako that much.

Cap gets it. This is the only thing, other than the Bradley signing, that I've been excited about this off season.

So basically, Koyie Hill can win the backup job in ST.

Hey--it appears that Cherp is gone--how about getting rid of that signature?
Bako agrees to terms with Cubs - Lance - 02-01-2009
Oh, and why?
1. You outed him--yeah, justifiably so--but you outed him, with a vengeance, with info you gained from his personal contribution to a tribute to Cap's wife. That sucked.
2. Hatred, in it's pure form, is really interesting when it's maintained far longer than anyone else cares about it. Nobody gives a damn about Cherp any more or about his prevarication--other than you. Yeah, Brick hates him, but you are the only one who really keeps this constantly on the surface because of your signature.
3. Also, I can understand your absence due to work issues, personal issues, or any other issues. But it appears to me that you know you've done a few wrong things--disappeared coincidentally with some of them. Why not let that shit just go? Just come back and be your intelligent, funny, self and jettison the crap?
You've always been nice to me. I'm just tired of looking at that picture.
