    interesting......

    you seem to be thinking of it as a straight up coin flip where talent doesn't matter at all, just luck. it's true that playoff series do not always end with the "best" team winning or team with the best record, but your odds of winning any game increase when you better the talent you have. you add talent to better your record from year to year, you add talent to improve your chances of winning in the playoffs. it's not rocket surgery. That's what I thought as late as last year and many on this board converted me. Again, many smart people on here have said you could add four great players and it doesn't increase the odds much. I suck at math so I just take their word for it. nothing is a guarantee to make you win it all, but it certainly helps any time you get a chance to add an elite talent to a team weakness

    Nah he was sexting with LaStella. That's why he insists on the 3am nickname. That's their hookup time. you guys stop. professional athletes aren't gay

    are you still trying to figure out why we would want to trade for an elite relief pitcher??? I am, only because Theo is a crapshoot believer and this goes so against everything crapshooters believe in. you seem to be thinking of it as a straight up coin flip where talent doesn't matter at all, just luck. it's true that playoff series do not always end with the "best" team winning or team with the best record, but your odds of winning any game increase when you better the talent you have. you add talent to better your record from year to year, you add talent to improve your chances of winning in the playoffs. it's not rocket surgery.

    girl's probably having problems with her router, you sexist bastards.

    it's not about "Torres", it's the perceived value of each piece. Chapman is only signed through the end of the year so the concern is that, while he is a tremendous value, we may be parting with more value than we should for the marginal short-term upgrade

    yeah, I remember the Sochi horsefeathers show too. maybe this will be such a disaster that they finally stop doing Olympics
  9. Ding Dong Johnson
    I'd lose my horsefeathers if they traded Eloy. I love him so.

    I'm leaning toward thinking it's an old outfielder
  11. Ding Dong Johnson
    "what'd you use, a .38?" "uh, .38, .39, whatever it took"
  12. Ding Dong Johnson
    this Olympics has all the makings of a colossal failure.

    let's get to what's really important: has anyone seen Clayton Richard giving out hugs/crying?

    check out Rosenthal's line for the night

    I just need you to know that the Mr. Mom reference didn't go unnoticed. Blasphemy! This was a Fletch reference.
  16. Ding Dong Johnson
    but if Warren is included, we better be getting something in addition to Chapman. something like Castro...

    I don't care much about the cards, but this is still fun:

    his motivation is that Chapman is one of the best relievers to ever play baseball, and our bullpen hasn't exactly been world beaters
  19. Ding Dong Johnson
    thanks, I was focused on Bogaerts
  20. Ding Dong Johnson
    what am I missing?

  22. Ding Dong Johnson
    no, most of those guys are still alive
  23. Ding Dong Johnson
    2020, 2021. whatever it takes
  24. Ding Dong Johnson
    I think the assumption right now should be that Torres + would have to hinge on Chapman agreeing to the rumored extension. can't imagine our FO getting desperate and overpaying when we're still 8 days from the non-waiver deadline
  25. Ding Dong Johnson
    I still want Lackey launched into the sun. get me a starter too!
