i love when keith law does this thing where he posts the new internet lingo he heard recently from his kids' friends [tweet]https://twitter.com/keithlaw/status/1075439624925995008[/tweet] i used to think addison russell was all that and a bag of chips but now i know that he is legit NOT

lol you horsefeathering dork, the post that set you off was the one where he was like "did he do this twice or did you not realize this is the same woman" and he's the one "laser focusing" on something? I've already done more than my part to drag this thread from what it should be about, so I'm not keeping this going here. lol that's certainly for sure

everyone is on the same page (and even david was like yeah the baby mama thing was dumb shouldnt have done that) and you come swooping in yelling about how you dont care if you are posting correct information and like ... no one cares and/or was talking about that so...
-
do you really think you're behaving normally? i feel like you're being oddly defensive about something no one is arguing with you about? do you think this discussion is about your dislike for addison russell because im pretty sure we're all on the same boat there like you really sent this whole discussion on a really weird trajectory because you were seemingly doing the exact thing you were wrongly accusing david of doing

The Broken Business of Baseball (AKA never side with management)
imb replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in General Baseball Talk
the big 3 sports are in a real weird spot right now to be honest everyone knows now (and some decent percentage of us care) that seemingly every team owner sucks to some large degree. Like billionaires who want to do well spend their money in ways that aren't on sports teams. so the pool of billionaires willing to buy sports teams are all awful people. social media lets us know that most of our athletes are dick heads in a way that makes (some of) us actually have to mentally confront this fact playing football is basically homicide, and college football is even worse because kids are killing themselves for no reason the baseball season is interminably long not only is the nba season too long but there's 0 reason to watch a game until the 4th quarter. -
what in the world are you talking about lmao how do you function in society

this is definitely weirder than david

aren't you kinda guilty of the same thing here lol

2018-19 Other Team Offseason Transactions Not Worth a New Thread
imb replied to Cubswin11's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
he had a backiotomy -
if i was the white sox i would go $40m the first two years followed by an opt-out and a more reasonable ($30m or whatever) AAV after that. They convince Harper to come based on the early dollar signs with the idea being that if the team isnt competitive in that 2-year window he can just hit FA as a 28-year-old again. from their perspective they're only out an extra $20m over what it would have cost anyway.

SAS is the best lmao

Can't imagine their fnancial situation is much more accommodating than the Cubs. Yeah, I don’t get this. i think it probably has to do with their presumably having more tradeable money than we do. Like we would have to work pretty hard to move enough money (heyward, chatwood etc) while they can surely find a taker for Puig without much trouble.

i believe you mean civ V the video game

i can't wait to find out in mid-january about the trade we made 90 minutes ago.
-
I made it anonymous and wasn’t trying to pin it on anyone. Iirc, it was something that made me sound like a concerned newspaper reader of Oklahoma. I was surprised he blamed it on someone else, he seemed so sure. was it just a coincidence that it came the same day i was fighting with that socialist bastard in the game of thrones tv thread because he kept trying to low-key post spoilers? that's why i assumed it was him.
-
i should have saved the email but I was hating Sulley so much at that moment that I just deleted it. If I remember right the spoiler was something about Tyrion killing his father.
-
He who smelt it, dealt it. Nah, but this is as good a time as any to confess that I was the one who got mad at IMB for some dumb reason and tried to send him GOT spoilers at his work e-mail. I think he blamed Sully. aahahahahahhahahaha amazing. I did blame sully for that and he messaged me on facebook about it repeatedly claiming innocence until I blocked him.

something happening in 20 min oh yeah what is it a trade wow a trade in 20 minutes? uhhhh you dont know her she goes to a different school

hahahhahahaahahahahaahahahhahaahha

The Cubs have paid for Venezuelan vacations and rental cars for #Kintzler and #Duensing

i put him on text notification so i can keep you all updated

you talk about 4th dimensional chess - we just keep having KB tell Bryce that we're working on salary dumps so we can sign him, wait till everyone else has spent all their money, then sign him to a 6/120 deal and trade KB (bitch ass)
-
yes we all are, because the point of the tank (or reset if you wanna play it nice) was that you would take your lumps on the front end while they accumulated assets and turned the team into a cash machine so they could spend big on players exactly like bryce harper. the payroll in a vacuum is great but we did not lose for 5 years or whatever so we could sign chatwood and darvish and duensing but so we could sign 26 year old studs when they hit the market. if they don't even try to sign harper then they're abandoning a large reason of why the tank was necessary
-
like all these things are simultaneously true the ricketts' ownership has been an improvement in many ways the ricketts are largely butt as a family the cubs are spending a lot of money the cubs should be spending more money the cubs may not be allowed to sign bryce harper the cubs have the money to sign bryce harper at any cost bryce harper may not even want to sign here the whole point of "the tank" was not to just lose and accumulate picks, it was to allow them to accumulate assets and then spend big on exactly this type of scenario to ensure a decade-ish long window. Whiffing on the heyward, chatwood, and darvish (tbd) signings should not preclude you from trying to sign bryce horsefeathering harper. he was the whole point of the god damn tank.
