  1. YOU'RE DAG GUM RIGHT WE ARE GOING TO PLAY THIS GAME UNDER PROTEST
  2. wait is your location still accurate? because that seems totally normal if you don't live in chicago Yes I'm here, but 99.9% of my sports information comes from this board. I don't read any newspapers or listen to sports radio.
  3. Woah had no idea Ricky Renteria was back in baseball, let alone for the Sox
  4. I mean, he literally says "I regret that I did not exercise better judgment and for that I am truly sorry". It's just words on a page so it doesn't undo anything that he did, but a small part of the irritation with Chapman was his lack of remorse. A professional hobby of mine is giving and evaluating apologies, and that's a pretty good one. It doesn't hide behind passive wording like apologize, or separate himself from the behaviors by saying he's sorry for the effects of his behavior. He's directly saying he's sorry for his (admittedly ambiguous) actions, and like Brett just pointed out on Twitter, he didn't have to do this as a guy who was traded (there's no extra motivation like a contract for him). Again, it doesn't undo anything that happened and people are still right to not be happy, but this is what handling the acquisition properly looks like given the realities of the situation. I was going to say this, but less eloquently. Taking out the fact that somebody in his agents office probably wrote it, there's not much else he can do at this point.
  5. those that peruse the Cardinals forums, what are their reactions?
  6. Is it possible the Cubs have informal framework on an extension in place, but can't really confirm it or discuss it because Chapman isn't under Cubs control yet?
  7. yeah they decided they like him more after the Cubs told them GFY
  8. feeling more and more like something that's not going to happen
  9. [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo] Can't believe this was only 2 years ago.... Only Rizzo remains right?
  10. [tweet] [/tweet]
  11. Ben Zobrist might be back from the dead. Well, that would be a good thing. Bad news though, there is still broke Clayton Richard. Other than that the place has been quiet.

  14. I just can't imagine a scenario where Theo/Jed get steamrolled on a trade, especially something that isn't a 100% need. This deal will make baseball sense when it is all over with, I'm confident in that or nothing will happen.
  15. I'm expecting Hank to swoop in and veto the trade anyways.
  16. yeah MLB AtBat app just sent me a push notification about it
