    haha this article put me in a weird place ... i feel pretty justified with all my bitching about this (and prior for that matter) offseason ... at the same time this should be a very fun year with even just a little health luck.

    wasnt BP the outlet that comped brendan harris to albert pujols? sure that was 50 years and probably 200 staff writers ago, but that's the copium im clinging to baby

    Honestly if they lock Tucker up, all is forgiven on my end. You can’t get them all and he’s in the A-tier for me if not higher. But if not Jed better get ready for some SCATHING POSTS FROM YOURS TRULY

    Wont pay for the expensive stars. Can’t sign the cheap stars. Hmm, that almost sounds like a losing strategy. At some point Jed, whose sole job it is to put a winner on the field, needs to figure that out.

    Sure it’s probably geography. That’s it. That explains the 38 hour difference between finalists Toronto and San diego

    Because it’s not *just* Sasaki. We’re just talking about him because he’s our latest FA failure. in reality this is the most frustrating because it’s emblematic of the bigger issue. Every single prior FA failure has come with a caveat. Contract is too long. Money is too high. He won’t age well. He wants to be a DH. He wants the coast. Sasaki came with none of those. His contact isn’t too long. He costs nothing. He’s a position of need. There’s no defensive or positional worries. And he still won’t come here. If we can’t sign that guy, who can we sign?

    be good enough that he wants to play for us? harper's contract was too long, ohtani wants to be a DH oops now he just wants to stay in LA, Soto is a bad defender, Sasaki wants to be on the coast. always an excuse.
  9. imb
    no, by that logic he considered us a better option than the braves and phillies
  10. imb
    the fact we are considered a lesser option to the messy ass blue jays is 100000x worse than him just eventually picking the dodgers

    maybe his preference was to play for the best team, too bad that's not us. Let's call Brooks Raley real quick, his shift at Taco Bell is almost over.
  12. imb
    we're quickly running out of reasons we failed to sign a FA. harper's deal was too long! 13 years? Crazy. Ohtani? Oh he wanted the DH. What, he's a FA again but now we can offer DH? Well he just always wanted LA anyway. Soto? He's already a poor defender. PASS. Sasaki? He costs nothing and only pitches? Oh uhhhhh well he really likes the coast too. Who else am I missing? They can't keep missing on these guys and losing. One or the other please.

    you absolutely can blame Jed. he's managed this roster for how many years now? And every year the top FAs hit the market as *perfect* options for our roster, and we either don't try, can't try, or try and fail. Any idiot could trade some spare parts for Kyle Tucker. At some point he needs to succeed at the actual difficult parts of his job.
  15. imb
    oh im sorry, are we getting bonus points here for being obtuse now? the cubs yet again tried and failed to present themselves as an acceptable location for a top FA. There's always an excuse for why we couldn't sign a guy, or why he picked another team, and so on. At some point, they need to lure one of these guys to Chicago, and if they can't do that, they need to win without them. So far they're failing in FA (at times failing to even try!) and failing on the field.
  16. imb
    Wonder what the excuse will be this time
  17. imb
    The cubs eventually need to field a roster good enough to lure a single good FA
  18. imb
    oh im sorry, i was talking directly about the posts you are making. are you hallucinating
  19. imb
    hey dude maybe it's time to stop acting like nsbb's top intellectual authority while simultaneously being unable to read or comprehend what literally anyone is saying on here
  20. imb
    the median british bricklayer is better than 35% of all american MLS players for sure
  21. imb
    great post man, everyone definitely knows exactly what youre talking about here. have you ever considered not being a gigantic freak no one can stand to be around or listen to
  22. imb
    you were just jacking off over 39 year old kyle hendricks not being treated well enough by 12 message board posters for his 6 era on a team that missed a playoff spot by like half a game, shut the horsefeathers up
  23. imb
    it's not a horsefeathers book club, dip horsefeathers, it's a baseball team that's supposed to be winning games. Shut the horsefeathers up
  24. imb
    he was talking to congress and trying to avoid going to prison for being illegally buff, it's idiotic, who gives a horsefeathers these guys are all freaks anyway
  25. imb
    pisses me off that they black balled him for years simply because everyone (rightfully but still) assumed he did steroids, as opposed to the countless others who used banned substances and were never good enough for anyone to care whether they used or not, then let him back in as a PR move after forcing him to apologize for using steroids while never saying steroids. So pointless.
