  1. if there was some way to trick the giants into giving us samardzija for heyward i would be more excited than i was when we signed heyward in teh first place
  2. what this whole kneeling thing has taught me is that a much smaller percentage of the population understands the point of peaceful protest.
  3. I’d imagine that the sentiment is more along the lines of “I’m concerned that kneeling sends conflicting messages” but hey, maybe all of them are racist. I don't know what you think my post was talking about, but I was calling your idea that black players should protest less visibly so white people would get involved idiotic and tone-deaf
  4. holy horsefeathers "maybe if they did it nicer they would get some white players to join in"
  5. I'm not necessarily against a Darvish signing, but at 6 years you're certainly losing one year to injury, and likely another to ineffectiveness due to age/recovery.
  6. Yeah there was a split between whether the Cubs overpaid or not. The people that said the Cubs didn't overpay pointed to his consistently high WAR production. The people that said he did either ignored WAR as a stat or felt that fielding and baserunning metrics are not as accurate as we think they are. Regardless of whatever side people were on, almost no one expected it to be an albatross contract and definitely not so soon into the deal. Here is the thread (from the archives) on Heyward: http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=64666 He's been so bad since day 1 that it's almost hard to fathom what it felt like when he was signed. He seemed like such a high-floor signing that the money was literally no concern to me.
  7. he needs a good ass-eating to calm him down
  8. there's no shame in it. that thread is basically 80 pages of us all ejaculating about the signing
  9. that thread as a whole is brutal. we were all so innocent then
  10. public records, openness, accountability and transparency is my life
  11. His first post in the thread after the signing was announced Edit: More
  12. Among several pro-Heyward signing posts made by CubinNY is this gem Like I said the first million pages of that thread are filled with posts from CubinNY drooling over potentially signing Heyward, but some are better than others. *Dicaro tweets about Cubs being frontrunners* Edit: Another tweet ruling Cards out
  13. Reed and McGee would be great.
  14. what's the middle ring?
  15. i think verlander is good
  16. every time i imagine a scenario where we trade for stanton, im reminded of the saying why would something good happen when something bad could happen instead
  17. They were so happy they caught that Home run that most likely costs them the series. I hate bandwagon baseball fans. yeah throw that horsefeathers back every time
  18. yeah jansen throwing 91 mph cutters up in the zone is not gonna work for long
  19. fuggggggggggggggggggggg i thought that was out
  20. i still cant get over that puig homer. i know its like 250 to LF but that was literally with one hand
  21. who hits the walkoff next inning
  22. holy horsefeathers lol
  23. i mean this is wild but it's not 2016 game 7 wild and we lived through that
  24. i thought they acknowledged a change, but said it was within the allowable range
