    I'm happy that they're trying to sign a significant FA this offseason because of what it means. Can I still be upset if they don't get him? Yes. But I can still realize what this means. One of the major discussions on NSBB this offseason has been, "Why aren't we adding at least some of the future pieces via free agency?" And it is a good question. At least now we know they're willing to do so. It's significant. Great, so we can chalk it up with the missed IFA signings on the "man, it's a good plan, but it's not actually happening" board.

    That seems like a slippery slope. Maybe they were OK with 4 this whole time and went 5 to close the deal. "Slippery slope?" They've got a [expletive]-ass team and they're trying to sign these deals with too fine a point. You can't pull the "this is my final deal; take it or leave it" approach with a player like this (and especially not the REALLY good ones) when you're a crappy team if you're not willing to spend more. The Cubs won't swing 6/90? That's bad. The Cubs CAN'T swing 6/90? [expletive], I don't know which is worse.

    There's always a why it's "good" a deal fell through. After the Haren incident I have no problem trusting this FO to offer Sanchez 5 years. If they're OK with that, they should be OK with 6. And how many pitchers aren't pitching with some kind of discomfort or pain on a regular basis?

    There's a midnight train to Dodgertown. I say we take it. IM IN. ME THREE (legend legend third wheel legend always in the way) SO MANY KEY PEOPLE ALREADY OUT WEST. It just makes too much sense. So long, Stinktown!

    For a few years I was getting in on a family member's season ticket seats (about 15-20 games a season). It was 4 seats in a row of, I think, 6, and was on the first level directly behind the Cubs dugout just under where the upper deck started. They were two rows back from the main walkway and a tunnel was just to the left with a bathroom right on the other side. Perfect seats.

    Oh, sorry. I need to maintain the purity of the system. I need a color that's between yellow and green. Take that [expletive] to your sorry ass blog.

    6/90
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Not yet. It's still a possibility that we get Sanchez and actually have some pitchers in 2014. No, I mean make the color less eye-rapingly bright.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Adjust the [expletive] color in your sig, you ape.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Another year? More money? [expletive] THAT. Gotta have principles.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    The take it or leave it approach only works if you're actually willing to beat out competitive teams in years/money. Throwing a shitty product out there and then capping your offers at about the B+ level at best isn't going to have many takers.

    Outstanding. Can we beam sean's post out to every site Kyle has infected?

    I love you, Brandon Marshall.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Bunkum.

    Which is kind of weird because he's shooting at quite a good percentage this year. It's not like he's having to chuck 40+ times to get there. I think he was something like 17/26 last night against Cleveland. It points to the fact that he doesn't distribute the ball. With Nash out, there is no one to run the offense A basket doesn't count for more if it's passed by Kobe beforehand. He was shooting well last night.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Well, given that there's the very good argument that pitchers were likely on PEDs to avoid the DL, I think it all evens out.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Recap? Meatballs or legitimate criticism? Huh? It was just background noise.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Finally, something we can all agree on.

    What was he saying? Next weeks game is gonna bury this team barring more Cutler to Marshall magic To paraphrase, Cutler should be grateful if the Bears resign him, since he can't stay healthy. Holy hell, that is [expletive] ridiculous.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    So, so, so tired of Hester.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Nice.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Man, Marshall is a god.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    That's about the only time I don't since he's inexplicably hard to tackle. I cringe seeing him do everything else.
