Quick nothing post to go along with our offense to maybe shake ish up in the world. Stay blessed here all regardless.

Much much thanks to TT/Xero and Bertz (for the start/chart) for the input and explanation/rationalization. VERY apprecited. So IF I have this "correct"....lets say the Cubs are in the "green" this year...ie: UNDER the tax threshold, and to make things easy and round for "arguments" sake...NEXT season they sign Harper and end up 25 million over the "threshold". They THEN would be, again if I understand correctly... "on the hook" to pay a 20% "tax" on THE AMOUNT OVER THE THRESHOLD...which in this rough case would be 5 million dollars (20% of 25 million)...THEN after 2019...when Zobrist comes off the books (That's almost half way to getting back that 30 alone) and again, for a rough arguments sake...let Strop 6.3/Cishek/6.5 and Duensing 3.5 walk and fill those spots from within, at league minimum...all else being equal (which I know isn't) would, for the purposes of this exercise (give or take a few hundred thousand), then put them back under the threshold for 2020...which is set at 208 mill. and "reset" the repeat offenders escalators..? Thanks fellas...

Honest question...according to that chart how/where is the money to burn at..? Again, honest question because I REALLY don't know these things...and from the looks of that, aren't they over/under by 3.9 in the "red"...just trying to gain an honest understanding as I have Cardinal fans telling me that Harper would put us over the luxury cap by the 30 million (if that is what he commands) ANY help would be appreciated. As maybe I am missing/reading things wrong...certainly wouldn't be the first time.

Refused to post out of fear of jinxing this thing. I apologize to ANY and ALL I have rubbed the wrong way....YOU ALL got me thru this...Cubs are World Series CHAMPIONS.....and I got to share that with my son. SO grateful. Thank you Tim....I LOVE you all. so drained...so happy. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm rubber, you're glue...have a nice day. Your welcome for the doubling of your game thread pages the last 2 games i was here. carry on.

You never were very bright. paraphrasing: "It's idiotic to even suggest trying Colvin at 1st base" How did that "gem" work out for you..? :lol: "Soriano would be a better choice to try that with" :good: Are you talking about Tyler Colvin? The guy best known for almost getting stabbed in the heart with a bat and a career 91 OPS+ from a non-premium defensive position?! What...in the what... Hindsight after the fact and out of context....get in your time machine.

You never were very bright. paraphrasing: "It's idiotic to even suggest trying Colvin at 1st base" How did that "gem" work out for you..? :lol: "Soriano would be a better choice to try that with" :good: You're somehow making even less sense. The deflection/half ass denial route...smart choice.

It's called "replying"... Is this a good 'reply'? 1 pitch too many...I'm sure it didn't influence his decision from there on at all as well.

I don't believe any of this makes sense even in your own head. Basically he equates feelings to facts, which means actual discussion is a non starter. Talking to the mirror again i see.

It's called "replying"...

So it's based on "perception" not the facts on the ground...even sillier. I don't believe any of this makes sense even in your own head. You never were very bright. paraphrasing: "It's idiotic to even suggest trying Colvin at 1st base" How did that "gem" work out for you..? :lol: "Soriano would be a better choice to try that with" :good:

Much Love to youl, haterz and all.....get Montero off my screen doe.
