  1. I'm tempted to bet good money that they WON'T spend good money on anyone who costs them much more than a ST invite. 3rd place is too good for them; I'm really pulling for a surprise humiliation at the hands of the Reds.
  2. Really innocuous way to say HORSE horsefeathers.
  3. They should put them in the street and then have Kyle run them over.
  4. The Venn diagram of the turds that would lose their minds over the stadium name, and who also LOVE not "overspending" on someone like Harper is DEFINITELY a solid horsefeathering circle.
  5. horsefeathers, they used those insane things for almost half a century. You could still find a few scattered shoe stores using them in the horsefeathering 70's. They have an exhibit about them at the Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago (an awesomely creepy way to spend an afternoon), and the main problem wasn't that they were x-raying feet, but that the whole box/setup was just blasting x-rays all over the place onto the customer and the salesman.
  6. God willing.
  7. Not for nothing but including him in a trade now is the best way to clear payroll Yup. It's still shitty, but I mentioned the same thing before, too.
  8. What greets people as they enter the Cubs' shiny, expensive offices:
  9. There is a chance Lester is in there too. 25 mill option with 10 mill buyout, option vests with 200 IP in '20 or 400 IP in '19 and '20 Rizzo's is technically an option too, but they aren't going to give 37 year old Lester that money. And he's at 180 IP each of the last 2 years so he's not gonna vest either. And the Cubs are probably going to let the beloved (tiny)face of the franchise walk because that's the hell the game is in now.
  10. In the future people will just be rooting for their favorite billionaires because we're horsefeathering doomed.
  11. Carl Crawford, sorta.
  12. One of the most common arguments trotted out against things like raising the minimum wage. "Why should fast food workers make as much/almost as much/more than EMT's?!?" Not that their problem isn't with salaries in general being far too low/stagnant, and that this means that, yes, EMT's should be making money...no, what makes more sense to them is that since Group A has it bad, that means Group B MUST have it worse. THAT'S what makes sense to them, as opposed to, y'know, people being paid better.
  13. Looking at Andruw Jones' stats is always wild; is there a more dramatic example of a truly great player hitting 30 and then just completely falling off of a cliff?
  14. It's a week to go until February, and 2 26-year old players with a cumulative 61 fWAR split almost equally between them are still unsigned. Baseball is broken.
  15. Tom turned into Cubbie Swagger so slowly I didn't even notice it happening.
  16. Is "Hello, Goodbye" about the creeping threat of Sharia Law?
  17. Which side would each Beatle take during the Civil War?
  18. Chatwood could turn into a non-trashbag human being version of Chapman and he'll still be one of the main reasons the Ricketts are cowards and denied us Harper or Machado. I hope he flunks out of baseball.

  20. Nearly-60 woman cannot live up to the standards of a painkiller-addled lush; water is also wet.
  21. They're doing the doom-boner thing. There's no real point to arguing against it. Or it's an unchanged pitching staff made up of old guys/high injury risks/swingmen/just plain sucks and Kyle Hendricks.
  22. From a division perspective who’s rotation is really more safe or better? They all have age, health, experience and regression worries. It's a cruddy rotation regardless of who they're playing.
  23. I'm not necessarily worried about injuries.
