This is even more reassuring: https://deadspin.com/peter-king-graced-the-deadspin-awards-with-his-beer-exp-1831043698 Like, I seriously doubt even old school Deadspin would post a new video hosted by Drew if he was in a truly, truly bad way. So now I'm back to thinking he tore his sac trying to climb over a fence or something.

Huge and dumb if true.

Stuff like that. Like, I never get the determination some people have to make it seem like they have no opinion about someone or something. He does have an opinion. In his opinion, on the balance, they've been meh. YES, TIM, THAT'S THE horsefeathering POINT.

What a weird thing to say. Why? I think they have been fine. Stuff like that. Like, I never get the determination some people have to make it seem like they have no opinion about someone or something.

yeah, that was the back end promise after years of tanking. How do you not get that? So.........they are fulfilling the promise? Are there reports that we won't be one of the highest payroll teams in the foreseeable future? Again...who cares? They should spend even more, especially in this offseason.
-
Who cares? I'm not telling you to care. I'm just saying you all sound like complete, spoiled brats. This is all in the context of everyone being fans of sports teams owned by billionaires. To act like someone complaining about a team that spends $75 million vs. one that spend $175 million is somehow NOT a "complete, spoiled brat" is ludicrous.
-
Those owners aren't poor either. All the owners are rich. But those rich owners spend $100 million less than our rich owner. I'm sure those fans will cry us a river. Who cares?
-
Most of us are! For the record, I want Bryce Harper, too. But let's just be grateful we all decided to be Cubs fans, because I imagine to small and mid market fans, we sound like some real spoiled bitches. But that's just because their sucky owners are even suckier than the Cubs'. They're all just variations on the same sucky theme.

I guess what this selfishly comes down to is I want the Cubs to come storming into things like the Winter Meetings, and everyone is all, "WHOA, LOOK OUT, THE CUBS ARE HERE WITH THEIR MONEY TRUNCHEON." I want the Cubs to be the despised Midwest version of peak Steinbrenner Yankees. All of this, "we spend a lot of money, but we try to be coy about it AND we maybe scare easily from awesome signings when we get some turd signings" is lame. Like, I don't want them to just keep chucking out Darvish and Heyward contracts left and right, but I don't want them getting scared from signing guys like Harper or Machado because dudes they spent on who came with pretty big red flags didn't or haven't really panned out yet.

But hey, Tom sits in the stands among the common folk, and he and his wife porked in the bleachers or whatever, so he's cool, I guess.

People should be pissed at the Ricketts at all times. The best they deserve is simply varying degrees of pissing people off.

Dude's gotta come back here just so "concussions are actually good" can be his user status.

Why wouldn't I? Simple: for them to spend more of their awful, awful money on the baseball team I am a fan of. I don't care if the Cubs have the 4th, 3rd or highest payroll in the NL or all of baseball; if opportunities like this come around, I want the obscenely rich owners of my team to spend what it takes to get it done. I get absolutely nothing out of them having a larger profit margin, or being relatively more responsible with the baseball budget; in fact, we get the exact opposite, since they have shown they have zero qualms in increasing how hard we get blasted just trying to go see this damn team in person regardless of how much they do or don't spend. If we have to pay like they're spending FU money, then I want them actually spending FU money.

By definition any owner of the Cubs will be a billionaire, so nobody can defend the owners who have made the team as financially strong as they’ve ever been and as successful on the field as they’ve been in literally over a century? And, Harper still hasn’t signed elsewhere yet... Correct, all sports team owners are scum. They are a necessary evil to tolerate, at best, in the hopes of seeing our sports squadrons fulfill our wildest sports fantasies. They deserve zero credit for anything except when they provided the needed money, and even then they deserve nothing from us because we have nothing compared to them. Their hideous egos and coffers are satisfied without us mewling and being grateful for them having more money than the rest of us. Their "job" is to pay for what is needed. If they choose to maximize profits over this, then they have failed.

This always manages to apply for *INSERT BILLIONAIRE HERE*:

Blargh. I just read that, and now I'm worried it was something like a stroke or an aneurysm or something. This sucking stinks. I'm super worried about this guy I don't even know like he's some old drinking buddy.
-
God, I just saw a picture of Ted Cruz and it made me hate the Ricketts even more. GET FUCKED, YOU DILDO FACED ANUSES.
-
Probably because according to things like Spotrac the Dodgers have more money to work with (though I dunno what their luxury tax situation is, so whatever), and they have more of a history of an FU approach to money.
-
It's almost like a guy getting his baseball news filtered through a Cubs message board is missing the hot Dodgers goss...

No Offense, But Adam Ottavino Would Make Babe Ruth Look Like A Sack Of Pig Assholes Worth it for this guy's comment:
