The silly censor system (ALLITERATION!) makes that read a LOT more racist than it actually is.
-
I ain't wrong, silly boots.
-
See, THAT just seems too rational to me, and I just don't see the union and especially the agents really letting it happen if the big later paydays start vanishing. But hey, we'll see.
-
Roast would have never let this happen. -
[expletive] you, Mike Ditka. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/08/mike-ditka-redskins-nickname

you are most certainly wrong Then it is a startlingly different era of baseball that we are stepping into. look around, we've been in it for several years now. the decline of ped's and the rising average age of prime free agents has absolutely changed the way front offices should approach free agent acquisitions. you're absolutely right that the sheer level of injuries and rapidly declining performance is uncanny and unpredictable, but only insomuch as how *quickly* those things have happened So won't the game just adjust accordingly based on past practices as opposed to ideal ones? It seems unlikely that you'll be able to snag guys like Castro and especially Rizzo on such team-friendly deals real soon; we'll probably just see prime free agents becoming available at younger ages as their agents and the union talk them out of waiting. And the pitching thing especially just feels more like the fluky timing of a bunch of injuries in close proximity to each other as opposed to an actual trend.

Never. I won't leave until Scrogge McRicketts and his motherboy Theo are driven back into the dank bog they crawled out of.

No, it's luck. Theo is praising all of his accursed pseudo-voodoo shrines that it worked out this way. How often have we have seen a slew of this many major pitching injuries in such a short span of time? It was always a given you were overpaying for big talent before, but it really seems like a ridiculous number of big FA aren't just that and are instead just [expletive] their pants. I'm very likely wrong, but a ton of this just seems like good timing as opposed to an actual shift or trends that will continue.

That is the Kyle-est thing ever written on this site, and it didn't even come from me. :( http://www.quickmeme.com/img/0b/0b0ba53d1a6801a706cce2eb1f5454c60bda7e7526cfaf2f4b68786cc1b73dff.jpg

I'm never trolling; I hate what I hate and I like what I like. My brutal honesty and cacophonous prose are often intimidating.

Strokin' it to the projected Cubs' profit margin is gonna be the new strokin' it to prospect rankings.

I'm still pissed we didn't sign every big FA. Theo's had a ridiculously lucky streak where basically every big FA and every big pitcher has inexplicably [expletive] the bed or ended up nearly crippled, but he's still an evil dick and I [expletive] hate the timeline The Plan with every fiber of my being.
-
Obviously that basic stat line doesn't show how bad he's truly been, but even just on its own it would have clearly been a disappointment in terms of offensive performance.
-
This makes me wonder...does anyone remember what it was like in the pre-advanced stats era? Would someone have looked at Choo's numbers (.241, 12 HR, 39 RBI), compared it to last year's numbers (.285, 21 HR, 54 RBI) and said 'eh he's not hitting as well as last year but still not too bad', when in reality he has completely [expletive] the bed? No, nobody would have looked like that it was OK. It wasn't pre-discovering the wheel, for [expletive]'s sake.

I wish I did have some kind of Theo-sense, where I could tell that someone was undeservedly praising his evil.

True; it's been an impressive slide into the depths. i'd feel like a liar if i didn't admit that i'm somewhat impressed at how quickly you pounce on these things. do you have some sort of IFTTT utility to aid you in your diligence? It's called "if I log into my project right now I'm going to lose it so I'm going to just stare at this [expletive] message board instead until there is activity."

He's protesting until he is promoted.
