    poor guy, buck up

    I think he did officially retire and no thanks on the latter. Chris Cotillo reported in October that Dempster retired, but I'm not sure there has been anything beyond that.

    Seriously, though, it's why I get so frustrated when people (fans and journalists, primarily) throwing another year away if you don't find "the right deal." STFU, throwing away a year of this payroll flexibility and the cost control on our position player base would be incredibly dumb, idiots. It's not like David Price is going to sign for 60/5 or something. I like dark side David, it's good that you rebooted.

    You think the Wal-Mart is just going to let him skip his shift during the holiday shopping season?

    sure would suck to lose a couple players over some piddly old rape! I'm not sure where I made light of anything. I stated the players were suspended, identified them for people who didn't know them and then said this would really suck for a lot of reasons if it's true. It would suck for one reason, that people raped other people.

    Can you imagine going 5-11 and still having a chance to host a playoff game? LOL.

    Zach Duke ‏@zach_duke · 26m26 minutes ago I am so thrilled to be joining the @whitesox family! This team has some elite young talent! Can't wait to get started! Would be cool to think Duke got some bad info about which Chicago team he was signing with.

    Why doesn't that make sense?

    I'd be worried about Dupree's ability to play 4-3 DE, just like I'm not sure Vic Beasley and Shane Ray can. Obviously all three are more athletic than Shea McClellin but I'm pretty nervous about tweeners who are better fits in a 3-4. I wish his name was Kenny.

    Probably because they can get away with it. I bet most teams would prefer to remain vague on injury issues, but some leagues more or less mandate that they give up the information and they are followed by a huge amount of media that wants to break the news. Most NHL injuries involve a guy (barely) skating off the ice and going to the dressing room never to be heard from again. In the NFL you have 14 different angles of close-ups, the guy goes down on the field and gets taken off by a cart and Schefter/Glazer types race to break the exact news. The NHL has never forced their teams to be open, and they are followed by a handful of Canadian reporters who respect the tradition of not releasing that information.

    The Blackhawks had some great teams in the first half of the 90's.

    So Gammons did say this, but there was a lot more too it, and it didn't sound like it was nearly a done deal when you listen to the actual audio clip. They just played it on the Score. Care to elaborate on what he did say? Sorry, had to do actual work for a little bit. Here's the full quote: http://fullcount.weei.com/sports/boston/baseball/red-sox/2014/11/18/peter-gammons-on-dc-on-jon-lester-i-get-the-feeling-the-cubs-think-hes-going-to-go-back-to-boston/ I think that is somehow less helpful than your original comment.

    there's no strawman, it has been the same story for 3 years now. stop lamenting the Cubs not signing guys because there are so many other options until all those options dry up and it really wasn't the time to do it anyway. If you want to acquire talent you have to aggressively pursue talent. You can't wait for things to fall in your lap and then congratulate yourselves for not being the silly team that overpaid.

    You are way more certain about the performance gap between Lester and the 'hipster alternatives' than I am. Just the opposite in fact. I don't know how many times I can say 'make the team better, whether it involves getting Player X or not or whether it involves spending a bunch of money or not'. But you consistently qualify that by eliminating the best options off the list and pretending that it is a good thing. This team has to get a lot better and you don't accomplish that with waiver claims. I want them to make the team better but I am all for avoiding the most expensive free agents and not trading for available guys who might be too expensive. Make up your mind. If you don't want to sign the talent and don't want to trade for the talent you don't want to go get talent. You want to worry more about efficiently acquired marginal upgrades as opposed to the most wins possible.

    No more imaginary than the "next 15 months" nonsense.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Plus waiver claims!!!
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Only if he underwent a nostril shrinking procedure.

    And we can keep saying that every time we don't sign someone good. If the Cubs have an offseason like last year, feel free to be upset that they didn't add anyone, I'll be there with you. In the meantime, arbitrary lines in the sand that Jon Lester represents a 'commitment to winning' are silly. What was your stance on trading for Hamels?
