    Very uncomfortable halftime show, watch with my 9 year old daughter and her friend. Daughter: what she doing with the rope? Me: um, I don’t know.

    Im sure Len and JD are thrilled. I think Len is doing more Saturday Fox games so I wonder who will take pbp when he’s gone.

    I keep coming to this thread hoping the Cubs are linked to someone other than a fringe middle relief guy, 4th outfielder, aging out infielder.

    BTW, this should all go in the Ricketts Family Sucks thread.

    Officially getting ugly. Trading Bryant might be more about the fact that its looking increasingly unlikely that he re-signs with the Cubs They did lie. They held him down to delay his service time and lied about it. No matter how talented, nice, and squeaky clean they are, they are still labor. And MLB management does not give two shits about its labor.

    The Reds are my pick to win the division this year.

    What are they supposed to be fixing?

    If that isn't an MLB The Show name, there isn't one.

    That's the insane part about Sandberg. He was such a vanilla baseball player and an absolute lunatic as a manager. When he managed the Smokies my wife and I went to a game and he got tossed in like the 2nd inning on a pitching change arguing ball and strikes. The Smokies pitcher was awful.

    This was inevitable. Crazy that two teams now need to figure out their manager situation this close to spring training It's not a hard position to fill.

    I love this post.

    between this and the loney comp i'm getting mark grace vibes Does he smoke Marlboro Reds between innings and have a drinking problem?

    God didn't want it bad enough.

    Turns out he wasn't actually tipping his pitches.

    The punishment was just. It isn't the NCAA where wins can be vacated.

    Bret says the Cards and Rockies talking Arenado.

    "Suffice it to say, things have taken a hard left turn off that course." I would say a hard right turn.

    Other than Holt I’d take him back over any of these other names out there. Pretty much how I feel as far as 2B options go. Zo will sign with the Angels if he does.

    Why is that the measuring bar? We are a big market team in a division of mid-size market teams and outspend all of them by quite a bit every year. Fans complain when the Yankees or the Dodgers outspend their competition, but we've been doing it for quite awhile. Guys like Steinbrenner took his profits and put it into the team on the field while Wrigley used the Cubs as a tax write off. In the last 4 years... What about the five years before that when they were intentionally sucking and filling Wrigley? They can go horsefeathers themselves. And also they should use their financial advantage like a cudgel, destroying the competition in their division because the competition gets extra picks and charity from the rest of the league that the Cubs don't get.

    By....who? Who do you think is in charge here? The owners, in collusion. But I don’t think Ricketts has a lot of pull among them as fairly recent member of the club. The Ricketts family was one of the prime proponents of putting teeth into the luxury tax penalties. Being an MLB owner isn't the same thing as being in a fraternity.

    I appreciate the rest of your response, cutting it here so this page doesn't go on forever. Looking forward to seeing your KB trade ideas, because like people have been saying, I've yet to see one that I think makes the team better and gives them a better chance to make the playoffs. He doesn't have to do that, only accuse everyone else of thinking they are smarter than Theo and also sucking each others dicks because we cannot think for ourselves.

    “Group think” in a post is dead damn give away that a post is worthless. The Cubs don’t have to trade Bryant. There is no realistic scenario where trading him makes the Cubs better.
  24. CubinNY
    For me the comparison is more general: two depreciating assets at 3B with salaries preventing their respective orgs from getting better. Bryant's salary alone is projected to be just under 10% of the cap and could break that number next year. Cozart will cost $5+ million to roster than Bryant will in 2020, a big factor in what made him easier to move Would quit horsefeathering talking about a “cap” like it’s a thing. I haven’t put anyone on ignore in several years, but damn .
  25. CubinNY
    I hate this horsefeathering thread.
