  1. what what what Kat despises Jon Lester and is somehow under the impression he's an unacceptable black hole at the plate and assumes pitchers with NL pedigree are preferable.
  2. A lot of us care too much but aren't ridiculous in how we express it.
  3. Oh, I know he's not responsible for the 300ish they've spent. But I do put blame on him for not going harder after an elite SP at the deadline, with where their teams win curve is. And considering they can blow past where their payroll is even now, I guess I lay some blame on them not getting an elite arm last offseason. To not address it at either point seems like a true mistake for sure. They definitely could have spent on the pen at either time too, but went for lesser guys, instead of the elite guys in that instance as well. I may be nitpicking him, but they've got money coming off, had the ability to do much more monetarily, and just didn't utilize the payroll advantage nearly as much as what I would have thought he would have. They have two cy young caliber guys and a crapton of depth. And you are criticizing him for the exact opposite reason you stated in the first place.
  4. wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait you stayed to watch the Mets celebrate on the Cubs home field but yet you purposely left before your favorite baseball team came out to salute, you, and the other remaining fans???? As a baseball fan I can handle other teams succeeding. I've seen one pennant clinching before (last year's ALCS) and thought for historic reasons it would be cool to see one in both leagues. That doesn't bother me. I'm pissed at these players for not showing up this series. I will be there full throat next season. And I was every game up until last night this season. But I am not over it yet. And I definitely wasn't last night. Sounds like they did a better job of showing up than you did.
  5. sammy's boombox walking into Wrigley Field
  6. Goldman probably had little to do with it. [tweet] [/tweet]

  8. in other words, the coaches thought he was an [expletive]?
  9. Yes, he said necessarily evil but qualified the "evil" part as something they are more than willing to partake in.
  10. no consideration of coaching staff changes, everybody is invited back
  11. we would like to add more quality pitching we need more pitching, that's obvious important to put into perspective, last data point, coming out of playoffs clouds. (geeky nerdy stat defense of how good 2015 staff was)
  12. we've got tone
  13. Like Schwarber? Schwarber hit .143 in this series. Murphy hit .529 throw aside the notion of judging via AVG, Schwarber also is not some random player.
  14. [tweet] [/tweet]
  15. Literally every other ending in my lifetime was worse.

  17. I can't see those two in the same outfield. You'd have to get some sort of superhero in center.

  19. It took Quinneville like three years to make the top 5 longest tenured head coaches in the NHL. A handful of coaches do stick around forever, but NHL GM/owners have very quick trigger fingers with these guys. 19 guys started at their current position in 2013 or more recently. MLB managers don't really do anything. And since very few teams make the playoffs, guys aren't fired just for missing them once, where that happens in the NHL a lot. Any quality organization that misses the playoffs has a great excuse to fire a guy.
  20. He's an old dude with young kids and multiple concussions in his history. I could see it happening.
  21. Ross had a couple brain bruises this year and I could easily see him walking away. I think Montero/Schwarber has real potential.
