  1. If location is as important as that list makes it sound with #4, 6 and 7, Chicago is trailing WAY behind. Eh, i guess i was thinking SF or Seattle over LA Possibly; I think any of those three have a clear advantage over the Cubs when it comes to preferable location. I lean towards the Dodgers ultimately because they're so much better than the other two now and for the foreseeable future, and are in a better position than the other two to pay him more/better in the long run and still also have a good team on the field around him. With the Cubs, the sales pitch will have to be all about the FO and team strengths. No small factors, obviously, but if he is putting a lot of weight into location, then I think it's a big uphill battle for Chicago compared to other markets.
  2. #8 might as well be, "tell me who I should pick between LA or NYC." Why If location is as important as that list makes it sound with #4, 6 and 7, Chicago is trailing WAY behind.

  4. Hey, if this is just polite code, then I think we all agree.
  5. Everyone remembers it: it's one of many reasons why people think he's a dopey weirdo. I guess softness is something that comes and goes, coincidentally much like injuries. It's enigmatic, this softness.
  6. It's such a weird criticism. "KEEP BEING AWFUL AT THIS SPORT AND GETTING INJURED SO I DON'T THINK YOU'RE A [expletive]."
  7. http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/ceob.gif Rose is a goober, but calling a dude out for realizing he is basically now useless as a basketball player because injuries destroyed what made him valuable in the first place as being "soft" is super meatball-y. As opposed to, what, he hangs around milking name-recognition contracts for a few more years? That's somehow a better choice that would make him seem less "soft?" He’s quit on his team three times now. He’s on a one-year, vet minimum deal so he’s not milking anyone. He’s two weeks away from being back. Try to win a title this year and then retire. The dude is terrible, on a pace to have the worst season of his career and can't stay healthy. He's not quitting on his team; he's doing them a favor. Why sticking around under those circumstances is somehow more admirable or tough than realizing you have nothing left and walking away, hell, I'll never know.

  10. He's already got his new entrance music picked out and everything:
  11. Wilson's dead; trade him before the corpse stinks up the joint.
  12. Still...to just go to a football game, much less the stank Bears IN Philly? That must be one hell of a boat.
  13. Baez just thought he was posing for the camera with some Make-a-Wish kid.
  14. I recognized everyone except whoever the horsefeathers Borzello is, and Montero, since he looks like he's pushing 50 in real life and the photo quality makes him look like a 20-something stud.
  15. The Cardinals can sign whoever they want; it simply doesn't matter. Dead Cardinal Hell has already opened up and swallowed them.
  16. Amazing post/poster synergy going on here.
  17. Sounds like something a robot would say.
  18. I mean, that was true from the get-go.
  19. I have an ever growing list of family, friends and SO's birthdays and anniversaries because damned if I can remember 99% of them.
  20. I'll eat David's hat if he ends up somewhere other than the Yankees.
  21. If the Cubs miraculously signed Otani and then Drinky Joe kept trying to find ways to get him to the plate as much as possible... I'd slash the tires to his dumb RV every damn day.
