    I imagine this is just agents trying to drum up interest in their players? Only one I'd be interested in Salty, and he'd be expensive. Especially considering Castillo was worth two more wins than him this season and is younger. You're not interested in McCann? I mean there's other places I'd address, but just saying as far as catchers go. McCann is also nice, but we have other places where we could better allocate the money. Unless, as mentioned, they use Castillo as a part of a trade.

    Stunningly accurate and similar comparison, really. I guess the crushing fist of logic comes along with the limp, sweaty handshake of dumbassery.

    The Division Series don't even start until Thursday and Friday, which means there is plenty of room to fit a 3-game series. There is no reason to let 1-game decide a "playoff" round in a sport that plays a 162 game regular season. 1. It was decided over those 162 games that you're stuck in the do or die situation. If you want a chance at a full series, win your division. 2. In the case of the AL this year, you'd have Tampa traveling from Toronto on Sunday to Arlington on Monday to Cleveland on Tuesday(then presumably) back to Tampa on Thursday, and then to Boston on Fridady. And needing to leave Monday open for tiebreakers/make-up games, you wouldn't be able to start any of the DS games on Thursday. I think you would feel differently if a 94-win Cubs team finished 2nd to the Cardinals and ended up losing the 1 game playoff to an 89-win 2nd Wild Card team. If anything, it was decided over 162 games that the Cubs were better than Team B, so why should one essentially random game decide who moves on? Sure, they could also lose a 3 game series, but that outcome would be a little easier to swallow. I wouldn't. It should be much harder to win from the Wild Card. Anything they can do to make it harder is fine by me. Yes, this. I like that the WC isn't effectively a free pass to sneak in anymore. You still have to fight to claim it.

    Well, my memory is fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure our crowds were pretty awesome in 2003 before the 8th inning of Game 6. Let Pittsburgh go through a few of those and see if they don't turn into tight-asses too Yeah, the crowds were bonkers in 2003 and 2007. It was only with 2008 where they were a-scared.

    Oh, calm down.

    It was a squeaker! Fuckin' Braun.

    "Load" is never good, be it based on fatness, Metallica or Nick Manning.

    Really rooting for this guy to just turn out to be a fat load of meat.

    MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I'm too lazy to read names.

    Teams would certainly be willing to give up big league ready talent for those guys, but not the type Epstein would be looking for. I see Epstein prefering to take high ceiling prospects. If he wanted productive, young, big league talent, he'd simply hang on to them. As is, we have several high level prospects whom I think they'll play sink or swim with rather than search too hard for big league level replacements, unless we're talking reclamations or inexpensive "veteran presence." Wait, so you ARE saying you left them off of your lineup because you think they'll be traded? Because this just makes it sound like you forgot about them and completely missed that TT was pointing it out, not suggesting that HE thinks they should or will be moved.

    Vanilla and boring is not exactly a negative attribute. Yeah, given what most teams usually end up with I want a manager who I forget is there most of the time.

    Uhhhhh, we see that every day in OMC's sig. (The bear, not the balls).
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Meeeeeeeeh.

    You mean there are stats out there (besides "bubblegum stats") that prove he had a good year? There are discussions going on beyond whether or not he had a good year; primarily that you've got someone basically saying this is what you should expect out of him.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Then he would have likely had a a better year. I come in here expecting baseball analysis and am instead confronted by local oaf.

    Man, we already know tonight is going to end in miserable tears...I need something to offset it, dammit.

    48-6 Bears, huh? Either you don't get things or you're just being your usual miserable self...either is extremely punch-able right now. I get things. Sometimes I just wish you were a little more real, and a little less full of [expletive] bull, that's all. Shhhhh. Quiet now.

    Cutler will not stand for this.

    This is gonna be fun.

    Mmmmmmmmm.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Racist.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Nobody is happy with the season he's had. How you could misinterpret arguments defending the signing as a whole and pointing towards the likelihood of him rebounding going forward as being "happy about his season" is beyond me.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    What a [expletive] pit.
