  1. Excellent point. Perhaps Len will bring his?
  2. I cried during the 1984 playoffs. Edit: I'm not going to lie and in 2003.
  3. Cagney will not be pleased. Well done sir.
  4. If we're not giving up cash, how are we paying Lackey to play for SD? Yeah, that makes zero sense.
  5. Yes. That's a weird thing. You are weird. Why? You'd have to ask yourself that. You just are. But there's only a 37% chance of it. No, this I'm sure of. 99% The 1% is for not making you feel too bad.
  6. A Bloody to start it off. Although, my place of choice is Murphy's. Cubby Bear is lame.
  7. Yes. That's a weird thing. You are weird. Why? You'd have to ask yourself that. You just are.
  8. Is that 720? 1000
  9. That Lackey thing sound far fetched.
  10. I'm C.C. Real name is Sexy. Enough of this crap! Let's talk about Theo. The Champagne is chillin'
  11. So I take it you are up to 45%? 43% We aren't out of the woods yet guys.
  12. Yeah, I trust Theo knows what he's doing with whoever he hires as a manager. It's going to be a helluva Cubs convention this year! CAN"T WAIT!
  13. Assuming the deals done and the paperworks signed, sealed, and deleivered, why would they have to wait until they make the announcement before they get to work on the planning? They don't. I just the writer was just writing without thinking that one through.
  14. holy [expletive], this is an embarrassing article, even for that guy Might be the most clueless article I've ever seen by any sports writer....EVER!
  15. I'll take Lauras word for it. Unless Kyle changes his post to something I want to hear. I can't believe this is actually happening. I'm in awe of Rickett's right now. Damn, he just gets it. fyi - Cardinals! WTF! How [expletive] annoying!
  16. So he's saying that Hoyer has seemingly been nogotiating with Bell to resign with The Padres when all along, he's secretly been trying to steal him for the Cubs? Yeah, I don't think it works like that. Yeah, that makes no sense and it never happened.
  17. Right, because that's all he'll be doing? What the hell is wrong with you people?
  18. Exactly. In this case, they're just titles. You can't bring Hoyer over and make him assistant GM. It would just look bad. And this sells the promotion on Theo's part much better, too. I don't agree with your interpretation of how something like this would work. It's not just titles. It's just titles when you make the assistant to the traveling secretary the new vice president of assisting traveling secretaries. If you go out and get 2 current GMs to run your office, it is doubtful that one of those guys is going to be a de facto asst GM. If Epstein is going to be the president of baseball ops, then he's going to be the president of baseball ops and the GM is going to be the GM. And that GM is going to have asst GMs. If Theo is president, he will be involved in the biggest moves, like signing Pujols or trading for an ace, but the GM will have final say on virtually all other transactions. Otherwise he isn't GM. Exactly. Why are people having trouble understanding this?
  19. Then the world might implode.
  20. Well I didn't vote for him. I give it 60% chance you did.
  21. Correction: president of baseball operations. Call them what you will, but for all practical purposes, Theo will be GM and Hoyer will be Assistant GM. I don't think that's true. Why? Theo's essentially the "GM", he just now has no middle man to worry about like he did in Boston with Lucchino. He's in charge. No, he'd be the president of baseball ops. Hoyer would be the GM. I don't think they'd hire Hoyer as GM if he wasn't going to be the GM. If Theo wanted to do all the GM stuff, he'd just keep both titles. If Theo is hired as the president, he's the damn president. Why is this so hard to understand?
