    That's all kinds of goofy. So a Canadian broadcast conglomerate is dictating the Jays' baseball operations? Maybe next they'll ask Jose Bautista to manage their 4G rollout. They also own the team. Yes I know. Then why do you find it goofy that the owner of the team is trying to control the operations of the team? That's all kinds of goofy. I do find it odd that a corporation such as Rogers would make such a proclamation involving such a small portion of their operation. Shareholders aren't going to like it.

    He's only been accused (by himself) of not being involved in drugs, we have to assume until proven otherwise that he is guilty.

    faster, better diagnosis, bigger pads. Faster, stronger, better diagnosis and a better understanding of the risks from getting a concussion. I was knocked cold making a tackle toward the end of a high school football game. I came out of the game but there was no question on Saturday morning that I was going to be practicing all week and playing the next week. Post-concussion syndrome was basically just, I got my bell rung but I'm okay. Nobody could get away with missing prolonged periods due to concussion issues without being labeled a huge [expletive].

    Toronto is a pretty diverse multi-cultural city. It's not Kansas City.

    we're talking coke and pot here, not steroids. People will freak about steroids, not coke and pot (unless they do something illegal with coke on them).

    All the stories I read about the Matsuzaka posting indicated Boston reporters had no idea because Theo never let things slip. If people are saying the Cubs don't have the money though, I'm guessing that is purposefully linked from the inside. Maybe they were relying on all that sweet Sam Hurd money.

    Longer than what the law in NY allows. What's so unrealistic about it? A person who routinely rapes a 10 year old does so with the knowledge that they can essentially scare the person into not telling on them. Expecting that person to come forward within a couple years is crazy. The SOL is practically a weapon used by the perpetrator. If you can go back and use new evidence from murders long ago, why the heck is it unrealistic to do so with child rape?

    presumably this poll is going to show you who a large number of people think is the least electable candidate.

    Retweeted by Ace Maybe I'm just stating the obvious but my thought was he was talking about the chances of getting theo when the GM search process started. But then if he's saying that, he's saying the Cubs have a better than 2% chance of getting Darvish? Maybe somebody who's paid to write should learn how to write. I assumed that's how he meant it as well. Sort of like, nobody thought they'd get Theo back in September.

    I love doc emrick. He made Devils games enjoyable to watch. I think he's better than Foley (who I think lost a little bit off his fastball but is still quite good).

    This reads a little weird until you realize it should say there were 11 25 and under MLB pitchers

    I very much doubt it, but you never know. I just have a feeling once we learn more this story is going to be a bombshell. the part where an NFL player was positioning himself to be a drug lord, yes. The part where NFL players buy cocaine and pot? Not so much.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Are you responding to me? Because I don't know how a team being good on offense is somehow a rebuttal for "Theo likes players with well rounded skillsets." Let me ask you this, how many one dimensional sluggers can you name that Theo Epstein acquired during his tenure in Boston? David Ortiz might've counted if he ever played the field, but he doesn't... so Victor Martinez, maybe? That year Wily Mo Pena was their 4th OF? The one year deal for Todd Walker in Theo's first offseason? You don't see Theo sign many guys who don't contribute in multiple ways. and yet you are supporting the notion of acquiring coco. your whole post was supporting the notion that theo goes after defensive guys specifically:
  19. jersey cubs fan
    So, if this drug thing turns huge, I could see it going one of two ways. Either Jerry feels obligated to make good this offseason and get a much better team on the field for his one last chance, or Virginia feels embarrassed for her organization's ties to the story and cleans house with hopes for one last run at success while she's alive.

    Trying to figure out signs that he couldn't say. Caught wind of a meeting between Cubs brass and Boras? And he can't say either because he's not sure it's about Fielder, or because a source asked him not to say any more than that? I can't imagine "not being sure if it was about Fielder" would be a reason to be so sneaky.

    Retrofitting Reuschel's throwback jersey?
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Boston ranked #1 in runs scored four times during Theo's tenure, they never ranked lower than 6 and were 3rd of better every season aside from the 6 ranking. Their rankings for OBP and SLG are pretty much the same. Don't even try to talk nonsense about Theo being obsessed with defenders.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    We aren't talking about guys with well rounded skillsets. We are talking about one dimensional players whose dimension isn't nearly as important as the one they don't have. For the sake of arguement, if these were rounded skillet guys, that type of thing tends to work out better when you already have Manny, Papi, Damon, Drew, and Pedro. Yeah, forget for a moment that half (or more) of the guys rob listed were and/or are very good hitters, they had a solid lineup top to bottom. You can fit in the cheap defender when you already score lots of runs.

    And they spent half the time talking about how hockey fans complain about a lack of coverage on ESPN. So meta. Point taken. It's just a shame that they couldn't put hockey on at least one of their networks. Even the Ocho would be better than the sparse coverage on VS. Disagree. NHL chose NBC/Versus precisely because being shown on ESPN 2 only is crap. NBC Sports is making a large investment in the future and NHL is along for the ride with only SNF as real competition.
