Dismiss the 100 games thing; it's an arbitrary number/measurement of failure. When you get people saying they don't care how bad the team is in being the worst game in all of baseball seems to be shortsighted because, yes, there are varying degrees of "the worst." I don't think anyone is talking about a concern of the FO making rash moves in fixing the team so much as saying that the worse the team is the more work there will be to fix things. That's what some are questioning when they talk about people just not caring about how many games the Cubs lose, or saying "I hope they lose as many games as possible so they get the best pick."
-
I don't really know what that means. Lose as many games as possible to ensure being the worst to ensure getting the #1 pick.
-
He's talking more along the "best player possible lines," where you have people talking like, "[expletive] it, I don't care how many they lose; the more the better."
-
At this point I don't think it matters how many times/different ways you spell that out; some people are just going to refuse to get it.

Not true. Not true.

Wait, this actually happened? Stupid damn Dodgers don't deserve Kemp. -

2012 HR Derby Discussion & Transactions

Dammit, I had no idea Kemp was injured AGAIN. -
Again, the new rules probably change this line of thinking to a significant degree. Not really. The spending constraints hinder pretty much all of the top spots, and the difference between them isn't very significant.

That first trip to the NBA Finals sure put the 1991 Bulls, 1994 Rockets, 1999 Spurs, 2004 Pistons, 2006 Heat (first Finals for Wade) and 2008 Celtics at a disadvantage. Didn't magically give the Celtics an advantage when they went back in 2010. That's some WSR-level isht right there, Soul.

Still a step up from crediting @TheKapman.

Okay, give me a few minutes to check with them. *a few minutes pass* They say they'll go to 46. Can you beat that? if I tell you I'll do 48, but it requires you to sign right now, will you? *breaks character* And there you have it. You have to draw a line at what you think the player is worth. You can't just say "We'll go over whatever anyone else bids." It doesn't work as a matter of practice. I really don't care what the Cubs spend. If the Ricketts OK it, that's fine by me.
-
Sure.
-
Who is "blind to the FO" here and how? What did you expect them to do this year? For example: I think they "failed" in that they tried to sign Cespedes and Darvish and didn't. That said, having either or both guys this season wouldn't really make a big difference to this point. What do YOU think they failed at?
-
The one out of breath dude wants Vitters up here now. It's pretty hilarious.
-
Colvin's basically Soriano in how drastically streaky he is, and how those hot streaks just inflate his overall numbers.

Over the last 4 weeks going in to today's game; I always just call 4 weeks "a month." http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=colvity01&year=2012&t=b#total

A TERRIBLE MISTAKE WAS MADE TRADING THE 0.0 WAR PLAYER FOR THE -0.1 ONE!!!!!
-
FYI, "lately" = 3 games and 11 PA. The last 2 weeks: .188 .188 .563 .750 The last month: .229 .245 .458 .703

I still have issues with the idea that the only two options were: awful now and great later or mediocre now and mediocre later I'm not convinced we couldn't have built a better product today by adding assets that would help us be better in the short term without hurting us long term (Cespedes, keep Z, put together a better than awful bench, etc). I have full confidence the Theo regime will make this organization and team great in time, but I think it's misleading to assume the previously mentioned were the only two options we had. I totally agree. It gets back to the idea that whatever Theo does has to be the right way. NO IT DOESN'T. This is seriously the stupidest tangent you've ever gone on, and that's impressive. You've for some reason built up this inane idea that people don't given Hendry enough credit, so that's mutated into how everyone blindly loves the new FO. What is even your point in all of this? You don't want Theo can co. running the Cubs?
-
Amen! Signs you done fucked up.

I still think it's a good idea to try guys like that since some will work out. However, this season shows that you shouldn't try to build a full team of buy low guys. Yeah, buy low guys are typically going to be complimentary/surprise/happy accident pieces at best.
