Another good example of a bad investment for an NL team. The reality is that a lot of outfielders that hit well aren't too hot defensively. But yeah, lets keep passing on them because that's working out thunderously well so far.
-
Oh my God, these classic turd-brown Padres uniforms are the besssssssssssssst. -
Like I said, it applies to more than just Cruz. The Cubs have passed on several potential "help now" options. Choo's puttin' some stank on it so far.
-
BECAUSE THE SENTIMENT CAN, SADLY, BE APPLIED TO MORE THAN JUST CRUZ. *Weeps* Plus I'm barely paying attention to baseball this year and never got an answer when I asked this; is he ending up as the DH so much this year because of rumored or discussed health issues, or is it to fit him into the lineup with a better defensive option? It's not like he was dwelling in the DH spot before this year.

If the cubs true talent level is equivalent to their run total than yeah id say donating a 2nd rounder for an improvement to a glaring weakness would have been a good call. People can't play the "hey the cubs are pretty ok look at pythag" card while simultaneously playing the what a waste it would have been to try his offseason we're 11 games under 500 in May" card I love you, Spartacus.

It was for Zambrano and you're being awful.

THAT WAS RETIRED.

Really? The worst? Whose his competition? You think he's worse than Daley? or any other politician? How about Tunney? Tunney's kinda the worst. an alderman pales in comparison to the mayor Well, that's why I needed more information about who the competition was. The worst what? I must debate the semantics of hyperbole! The worst whatever you want. He is an awful mayor and an awful human being. Tunney sucks, but his power and influence is minuscule. Rahm is further [expletive] a fucked city with his shell game, smoke and mirrors nonsense. He's worse than someone like Daley because he's actively trying to fool people into thinking he's doing a great job and making things worse by trying to hide how he's not. Someone like Daley at least just usually shrugged their shoulders when they fucked up in a "whaddaya gonna do"-kinda way. Just for how badly he's screwing the schools and the cops Rahm deserves the boot.

The crueler the meat treatment, the more delicious it is. Pressed duck is a thing of the gods. I have to assume that eating an ortolan is a life-changing experience.

Rahm wants to be able to brag about a situation he helped prolong and basically did nothing to help move along. He is the [expletive] worst.

Holy [expletive], this is great. -
I know they're different players and this'll probably get destroyed, but Colvin looked pretty "good" in 420 AB in 2012.

The Junior Lake seems like a real cool dude.

Yes, I said I doubted that anyone who could afford to own one of those buildings would be willing to live there now as was the case with some of them in the past.

Obviously, Rizzo's results were disappointing last year - especially in the last 3/4 or so of the season (which is the sample sneaky is talking about) - a lot of it luck based. He has made some adjustments and appears to be even better this year, so that's good. I get that, but just dropping "LOL Lake's been more valuable than Rizzo over period X" isn't necessarily a good thing. The main takeaway to me is that meant that a critical player had a down period. Which is great (and I'd be stunned if it lasted if he actually became a fulltime player), but it's still indicative of the Cubs being in a shitty position if he's a more valuable player than Rizzo. Rizzo NEEDS to be more valuable than Lake, or Lake being more valuable needs to mean that Lake is kicking ass and not simply being league average or above average.
-
My hilarious bias against tinyface aside, Lake being more valuable than Rizzo over any kind of significant period simply isn't a good thing because it means that one of the players that they're obviously really, really, really, REALLY counting on as being one of their cornerstones really, really, REALLY underperformed to the point that hackmonster Junior Lake actually one-upped him. That's indicative of Rizzo being underwhelming at one point and the Cubs being worse off, not "yay, Junior Lake is actually an answer to the hideous question of the OF!"

I think you are being a bit unrealistic in terms of what type of people can make a good amount of money. There are a lot of 26 year old single people willing to throw in a lot of money on rent to be right in the middle of where they like to drink the most. I wasn't talking about renters; I was talking about people buying to live there. Of course they'd find a herd of choades willing to rent in pack-squalor. Okay, but that's what the value of the place is. You aren't going to sell to families looking to stay there 20 years, but there will be an endless horde of renters available and that is where the value in the property lies. Yes, nobody was questioning the value of the property. But ugh, even just owning it as a landlord sounds awful; imagine the upkeep keeping the places livable after the types of animals that would willfully live there.
