  1. I literally just took a look at the box score during the 9th, and even noticed the 3k/2bb and still did not notice that.
  2. A guy currently going through TJS? I would assume yes. Unless your plan was to lowball him so much that he would refuse to sign and then you'd get your pick again next year.
  3. Is it possible to draft a lesser prospect in the first and this guy in the 2nd somehow split the 1/2 bonuses between them? What would that look like?
  4. http://instagram.com/p/ntCBH5NQ5I/ Jaxon? She is going to ruin our QB.
  5. Aaron Rodgers looks relieved for Javy.
  6. Before the injury, Hoffman was my favorite for 1.4, moreso than Rodon, Aiken or Kolek. Now, I'm pretty wary. I've been following from a distance and share that opinion.
  7. Longevity. And he pitched multiple 300 inning seasons while getting elected during an era when all the old timers realized nobody was going to do that anymore. Plus his name sounds like negro and the old racist writers couldn't resist.
  8. The primetime and multiple day airing has killed my enthusiasm. The draft is ideal saturday afternoon background noise in the spring. But it blows as primetime television and spread across half a week. The fact that it is May has nothing to do with it for me. I don't care much about the draft being pushed to May but the multiple day is just killer. I wouldn't have minded round one on a weekday at primetime if the rest of the draft was on Saturday. And of course MLB decided to follow that pattern and extend the draft. The MLB one is crazy to me since they just started making it an event to watch and still do not know how to properly hype/rationalize the pick. Every selection is compared to the guy currently playing that position at the major league level on that team. They have a product worth watching, but diluting that product before it ever became popular in the first place seems misguided to me.
  9. He was traded because they got enough value in the trade, questioned his health/ability to live up to an extension and knew they weren't going to be any good in the next few years. The hot head stuff is just a side story.
  10. Attitude issues? Is this because he pointed out the obvious that no smart veterans want to partake in the farce the Cubs organization is performing. No, when his Twitter tirade happened, railing against women, it was noted that this was well known within baseball. You think Garza's misogynist views were unique enough to be considered a red flag attitude problem? You think having those views on women is OK apparently? Seriously? That is your interpretation of what I said? Just to clarify, my point is that being an [expletive] is pretty much par for the course for major league baseball players. The truly decent and nice guys are not the norm. And half of them get criticized by baseball people as being too soft.
  11. I don't follow how that humiliates Vitters. Major league player.

  13. I would do it simply for the opportunity to humiliate Kyle's favorite player.
  14. He is a better human being and that is all that matters.
  15. I think the Wild are better than you are giving them credit for. They really outplayed Colorado for a lot of their first series and were very strong down the stretch. In the end the Hawks have too much talent for them, but if the breaks go the wrong way for the Hawks this series could be lost. On a side note, I understand getting Brookbank a game and it is not like Leddy is tearing it up. But how is Versteeg still getting ice time? I'd still like to know why he was brought back in the first place. This organization has a weird affinity for him.
  16. That's just because you think anyone who dares find anything positive about the organization means they approve of every last thing, and refuse to acknowledge otherwise. Of course that's an idiotic misrepresentation of the truth, but that's what makes an apologist an apologist.
  17. The primetime and multiple day airing has killed my enthusiasm. The draft is ideal saturday afternoon background noise in the spring. But it blows as primetime television and spread across half a week. The fact that it is May has nothing to do with it for me. It being 2 weeks later means 2 more weeks of talking about it instead of just doing it well, I don't watch ESPN or listen to sports talk so that doesn't affect me.
  18. I frequently wonder if that isn't by design this year. Our best option is probably Samardzija, but he seems determined to be classy. I don't see that determination, personally.

  22. I called you out for histrionics (again) because it's tired and stupid. I used Kyle as the "gold standard" for useless thick-headedness, and he mistakenly took that to mean that he was somehow relevant to the discussion. I find those sorts of personal attacks inappropriate.
