imb, make sure to note to use launch angle instead of spin rate this time next year.

A Google image search displays a seemingly endless sea of the most generic, non-descript pizza you could possibly find. It neither looks good or bad...it's just there. Boring pizza talk is boring. 1.3, at best.

Please post pizza pics.

Spoilers: it ends up being the baseball version of Man Bites Dog.

4 very good relievers, 2 dead weights and the hope that Chatwood's brain isn't broken anymore, with Morrow on his way back. I want one more reliever personally, but unless someone else goes down(looking at you Carl) I think it's fine. [Narrator]It wasn't.[/Narrator] -
There (arguably) is if they're genuinely concerned about the starting rotation. Even if you're worried about the rotation, I have a hard time being convinced that Hamels is the solution at $20M. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm worried about repeat of 2017 John Lackey. Oh, I completely agree; personally, I didn't want them to bring back Hamels, and I have a real fear he's going to mostly suck this season. I'm just saying I get why Epstein would effectively panic and go that route (because he kinda sucks more often than we'd like at targeting pitchers).

There (arguably) is if they're genuinely concerned about the starting rotation. I could, unfortunately, see them figuring/hoping the offensive side of things bounces back, so they decided to use their limited resources on the area of greatest concern. Given that Theo kinda sucks at pitchers...yeah, it sadly makes sense.
-
Yeah; Theo's relatively shitty pitcher track record aside, I just can't see the FO trading for Kintzler if they had any inkling the wallet was going to be suddenly snapped shut.
-
This line of thinking makes less and less sense every day that this debacle drags on. How does leaking the idea that there is potentially a rift between the FO and ownership help them, or "throw other teams off the scent?" Everyone else, apparently: "Wow, if Bryce Harper leads to the vaunted Cubs front office and their horrible owners embarrassingly proxy slap-fighting via lame sports media leaks, he must be too toxic to sign! Better stay away!" Drunken Theo: "YOINK."

Second chance? Wouldn't this be more like a fourth or fifth chance, at least?

Now that is truly fantasy sports.

This is, for sure, by far the most money they have ever started a season at. I suppose it's possible they could add a MadBum for $12 million, but that might be stretching it. They might be in a total go for it mode, though. I can't tell if this means if they have the vaunted payroll or if the Cubs do.

IT IS DEFINITELY TWO THINGS.

I keep thinking it's gotta be the TV projections somehow not being what they were wanting.

Do you think Harper will sign with the Cubs this offseason?
Sammy Sofa replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Wasn't it basically variations of that during the tank years? Blaming the debt or the plans for renovation/construction or how the city won't kick in... -

And I seethe over the prospective idea of the FO being shy about trading away their guys to dump these big contracts. If you could, hypothetically, shed yourself of Heyward's money by shipping off Schwarber and Happ with him, then horsefeathering do it. If getting a team to eat Chatwood's bum deal means giving them your best pitching prospect, THEN horsefeathering DO IT. If the end result of having to overpay for a salary dump trade means you can sign Harper or Machado, THEN horsefeathering DO IT ALREADY. -

The only real arguments I can think of against this are: 1) Something changed with how much payroll the Ricketts were willing to give Theo between the time he signed Yu and now. If we don't sign him, I believe it's because Theo is in the doghouse for his recent bad signings (Yu, Hey, Chatwood) and is being tasked to fix one or multiple before being allowed to hand Harper 400 mil. Does it make sense that this would be something that changed between re-signing Hamels and now? No, but it's the best thing I can come up with That's along the lines of what I'm thinking, too. And it just makes me hate the Ricketts even more. If they can't see the difference before overpaying for those guys and paying big for someone like Harper (or Machado)...[expletive], do they suck. -
Personally, I'm not bemoaning the neighborhood as if some great old part of Chicago was lost; it was horsefeathers then and it's horsefeathers now. It just basically moved sideways to a type of shitty with a glossy coat of paint that makes everything more expensive.
