    If he can’t learn tho throw he’s not going to make it
  2. CubinNY
    According to my tv I get watch the Bears today
  3. CubinNY
    That should not factor in their decisions one bit.

    Pearl is trying to run for office here in Alabama. They love him. He might run for Tubberville’s seat
  5. CubinNY
    My best guess is that the Cubs see this a no loss proposition but they think he’s going to decline
  6. CubinNY
    That is true, but they don’t get paid until the season starts. And the owners rake in ST, especially the Ricketts. It’s a frequency game for them. They need dates to make money. They are in the hole for a good portion of the season. So any work stoppage that goes into the season is harder on the owners than the players. The owners are rotten fucks who are swimming in pools of cash they don’t want to share with the players. But they need games to be played in order for that to happen.

    The idea that the Ricketts want to win* due the cratering of the RSN and how much they’ve invested in the neighborhood is laughably absurd. They drive people in by the bus load every damn day they are playing. The Ricketts are evil, not stupid. They know they can’t spend like the Reds, but they care about filling Wriggle (the easy part) than about winning (the hard part). It’s also their philosophy on the sport, build the farm and replace. It just so happens that it’s the least expensive way of doing business and has no demonstrated success overtime.

    It’s beyond my understanding that people can see how they’ve operated post WS win and still expect some sort of change.
  9. CubinNY
    Yes
  10. CubinNY
    I'm ok with it. He's old and BP arms are volatile. I'm going to save all my thoughts until we see how things go across the league.
  11. CubinNY
    With Shota, the main concern is he give up a lot of fly balls. He’d be great for Detroit or Seattle.
  12. CubinNY
    You should change your name to Charlie Brown.

    I don't have a clue what the Cubs are planning. If they don't make the offer, they likely think he will accept, or they are pooling their dollars to make a run at one of the top guys in FA. If they do make the offer, they may be signalling they are going to the mattresses for the lockout or they are playing a dangerous game of will he or won't he. Shota will decline the QO, because he stands to make a lot more in a multi-year deal. I'm not sure what the market will bear for someone like him, though. It should be a very interesting, if not exciting, offseason all across the league. The leage trends will tell us what the owners are thinking.
  14. CubinNY
    Just the opposite.
  15. CubinNY
    Exactly- That's will be the theme of this offseason. Players looking for years and front offices looking the other way.
  16. CubinNY
    That would be my preference as well, but they won't get two of the four best pitchers on the market unless their bargaining strategy and overall SOP change significantly.
  17. CubinNY
    Wow. I hope they are planning on a serious* run at Cease. *Not their usual "we were in the ballpark of what he signed for" run.
  18. CubinNY
    I wouldn't get too high over this game. Cinci got creamed by the Jets the week before. Hopefully, they take care of the Giants.
  19. CubinNY
    Cubs are not going to pay Alonso. I'd imagine he'll be pretty disappointed around February 1.
  20. CubinNY
    L.O.L Auburn fired Freeze. He can go back to Liberty and pretend he’s religious
  21. CubinNY
    Watching the Lions Vikings game. That kid from Michigan already looks better than Williams. He gets to the line and knows what he wants to do pre-snap.
  22. CubinNY
    Here we go. The waiting game with Jed begins today.
  23. CubinNY
    If it’s going to have no effect on how they do business why is everyone talking about a lockout? It absolutely is going to affect how they do business.
  24. CubinNY
    I’m probably going to fall asleep before this is over
  25. CubinNY
    Oh man Auburn lost to Kentucky. Might be another open spot come Monday.
