    There's no way a pitcher should be on the list unless it's Kershaw and contracts be damned.

    Jesus, in the first one I thought he slammed the brim of his cap against the door and figured he was dead. Too bad he missed all of that pillowy padding.

    Where are you?
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Probably that guy that loves Molina.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Stanton? Trout, of course.

    I'm so broken that I'm just assuming that if they land Melo then Rose is, of course, going to only be able to come back as a shadow of himself or just ultimately keep breaking down.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    NOT SOON ENOUGH.

    Sure, but it shouldn't an either/or thing with big contracts; people bizarrely want to give them credit for things they basically ended up being forced to do or not do based on the circumstances of the various Ricketts debacles. The Cubs supposedly really wanted Fielder, so it's not like they were just throwing up sneaky smokescreens to cover their desire to pick up a guy that they had drafted and then basically traded to themselves twice over. And who are we really even laughing at? Oh man, those stupid 44-33 Angels. Oh gee, the Rangers suck this year after 6 straight years of finishing 1st or 2nd and having their gazillion dollar TV deal.

    I don't know how you can conquer that Uncanny Valley.

    I sincerely doubt their plan the whole time was simply to bank on Rizzo. That's what it ended up being.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    The Cubs were reported to be after both with big money/shorter term deals, as per Brett back when I still read BR.

    I think you meant "profoundly erotic." What in God's name is wrong with you.

    It really seems like almost none of the big ones pan out anymore. I know that's not the case, but damn if there haven't been a lot of massive busts on huge contracts lately. This is true. But there's this meme that pops up every so often where people act like the FO skillfully avoided some anchor contracts when really they simply just didn't have/didn't spend the money. i would argue that in obtaining/locking up rizzo that that is definitively skillful. So what? The main reason they've skipped out on any big FA signings is because they didn't have the money to do so; you really think that if Ricketts had said "OK, you can spend whatever you need" they would have just ignored guys like Fielder or Pujols or Upton?

    http://i.imgur.com/B6xeudA.gif Holy [expletive], that is creepy looking.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Well, sure, if you don't sign ANY FA of note it's pretty easy to pat yourself on the back for the ones that don't pan out.

    [expletive], Castro is the hero of this team.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    I love that movie, but my brain is convinced that Peter Dinklage plays the little person in it and then when I see that it's not him I am sad. Though I just discovered that that other little person played the giant bag of weed that Kumar marries, soooooooooooo...he's kinda great.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Gomez is awesome. Votto I get, I guess, but his [expletive] talking sucked and he's trapped on a butt team, so whatever. Even weirder was the Billy Hamilton hate...so he's a freak; so what?
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Hey, getting a healthy Rose back is like signing or trading for a superstar!
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Molina is a neck tattoo-having hump. The Cardinal thing is an afterthought compared to that.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    I'd take $8.5M of success. So would any of us, but we're obviously talking about actually being great at the sport they're playing, too.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    And to be realistic, douchedom is not a guarantee of success. See: Theriot, Ryan
  25. Sammy Sofa
    The hell? Please explain how the ownership and FO are the most "dysfunctional" in the entire league right now.
