    I dunno; maybe dude didn't see the crutches or something.

    "Boy, this nonsensical zinger about Bryant gesturing vaguely towards his wife's genitals is some GOOD CONTENT. Nailed it!"

    Holy horsefeathers. And here I thought you peaked early today in the politics thread.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Was there even a second of hesitation before hitting "Submit."

    That's our Derwood.

    Did this article linked to in that never get posted here? https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/battle-scarred-kris-bryant-of-cubs-promises-leadership-fight-for-next-cba/

    i'm guessing that's that same crazy machine KB has at home and the cubs have at their facilities where you can set the thing to imitate any pitcher https://www.amazon.com/Attack-Baseball-Pitching-Machine-Sports/dp/B0058QQF5A Not Prime eligible I like how this kinda makes pitching sound like this Cronenbergian nightmare, where pitchers are somehow being force-fed and then horrifically expelling the ball.

    Sign up, you scum! I want to finally crush as many of you as possible this year.

    To be fair to Derwood, that Jorge thread was probably his best work.

    Good parallel thinking with "weirdo" there.

    Upon reflection, I feel slightly bad that the crux of my argument here is, "NOBODY KNOWS YOUR MESSAGE BOARD EXISTS EXCEPT FOR US LONELY WEIRDOS, TIM."

    Spoiler: even adding things like "NSBB" or "northside" to the title doesn't bring up this thread.

    Also: "clickbait" is one of those terms parroted so often at this point that most of the time it's incorrectly. This, for example, is not "clickbait." The only people clicking on the thread are people already at the board. "Clickbait" is something designed to snag visitors who see a link/headline/etc. in a search engine or a feed or something along those lines. Do a Google search for "Jorge suspended 80 games for PED's" and tell me when you find NSBB.

    It's odd that more people give a horsefeathers about likely bust Jorge Soler theoretically getting caught for PEDs than the sneaky thread that made it sound like Bryant destroyed his leg.

    Man, someone joked that this guy is Meph the other day and TOTALLY COINCIDENTALLY it set him off.

    This dude is on a rampage today.

    I guess in starting this I was more thinking ahead to what Trout might see. He'll be, what, 29 when he's a free agent? Could we maybe see a team offer something crazy like $250 million for 5 years?
  23. Sammy Sofa
    So is the assumption still generally that he and Boras are almost certainly going to be looking for a long-term deal? Or would they maybe be swayed by a shorter deal with an insane yearly salary? The former definitely still seems to make the most sense since if he took a ridiculously expensive 5-year deal he'd be on the wrong side of 30 at the end of it and that seems to be a rule of thumb teams are sticking to now in terms of who they're avoiding big contracts with. I guess something like that might make sense with Trout, even though he's older, since he's been more consistent and more worth the kind of crazy annual salary he could possibly get in a shorter contract. I suck at guessing baseball contracts, so is some kind of 10-year deal still the most likely outcome for Harper? What are the odds that they'd want or be willing to go with opt-outs? Someone lay this out for me.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    WORTH IT.

    Petition to change this busted ass thread title to, "Somehow I doubt your commitment to #sparklemotion!"
