ITS THE RAYS YOU GUYS. They're pissed about Maddon

[Butterscup1679666578]

[TruffleShuffle]

the dodgers need to sign scherzer and lester so that ryu and haren can anchor their albuquerque rotation.

Agent says Angels are mystery team for Lester.

 

What do you mean Tom Loxas was wrong about something???

Hey he got the metro right. That's some solid guessing.

SN is saying the Dodgers may trade Greinke in order to get Lester, and that the Cubs and Red Sox would be teams to watch if this were to happen.

It is my understanding that Lester will not sign with Cubs unless and until this thread reaches 100 pages.

 

Glad to hear he'll come cheap - Brian Roberts got 309 pages and still didn't sign.

(yes, I know it was going to be a trade deal)

Theo's got this.....until PTR explains that we'll have to pay Lester in popsicles from his freezer.

[Agony and Ivy]

I think my personal favorite part of this offseason has been watching that 14 year old kid go down in flames. I am overly emotionally invested in watching that turn into a train wreck

If they're Jolly Rancher Freeze Pops, we should still be good

[minnesotacubsfan]

They'll be otter pops

[MWV]

Fudgicles.

[Sammy Sofa]

PTR doesn't shell out for anything more than frozen grape juice on toothpicks and you know it.

[SouthSideRyan]

I am pretty sure PTR is buying up whatever shitty Costco brand pops are out there and none of this name brand nonsense.

a trick he learned at Yale.

this is so [expletive] ridiculous. hurry up and make a life changing decision.

Yes. Where do I want to spend my summers playing a child's game while I collect millions of dollars over the next 6 years? Tough one.

[Sammy Sofa]

A child's game?

[fromthestretch]

A child's game?

 

Apparently Lester is negotiating a contract to play Chutes and Ladders professionally for the next six years.

[sneakypower]

he is a well-known tiddlywinks enthusiast

[Sammy Sofa]

I did math in grade school; therefore, being an accountant is a child's job.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

i'm Lester's oncologist and confirm he prefers candy land.
