Ryan Braun suspended for rest of 2013
jersey cubs fan replied to Tangled Up in Plaid's topic in General Baseball Talk
Tell that to Bonds who only became once in a generation after he took them. PED's made multiple once in a generation players (Bonds, Sosa, ARod). None of those guys would have been that good without them. Holy smokes are you comically wrong about this. No he's not. All of those guys would have been really good players but none of them, especially Bonds and his comically ridiculous seasons, would have put up anywhere near the numbers they did. I mean seriously, go look at the post in another thread talking about Rich Aurilia hitting 37 HRs and the top 9 guys in the MVP voting averaging 49 HRs. But Bonds was ridiculously good pre-blow up period. -
I think we played the Phillies and lost the day we got Nomar. The day was amazingly awesome anyway. I was at the Nomar traded game and met up with random Phillies fans I knew from college that day. Happiest loss I remember attending.

Doesn't bother me one bit. Me either. Just why exactly is ARod so worthy of the HoF after being caught using PEDs numerous times now? Because he was better than anybody else for a long time. -
Too late. You put all your eggs in the Vitters basket and that is all anybody will remember.

I don't like that people keep editing my game threads.

Random Cubs Musings: Minor League Edition
jersey cubs fan replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Beginning with the 2011 IFA/draft, we've diverted almost every possible resource toward the acquisition of prospects. And now we have a ton of prospects. It's a good start, but I'm not lining up for an isosceles lock with Jed and Theo just yet. yeah, not many gms get this sort of free pass with the present in an effort to focus on the future. It's not that hard to build a surplus of prospects under these conditions. -
That's odd, its still fairly early in the season. Are the Giants really not going back east the rest of the season? I'm surprised the Reds were ok with this. It is not fairly early in the season. Early enough in the season that it's odd that a team is forced to play a home game at the opponents park, especially when that team is in the division/wild card race. It's baseball. The home field advantage isn't about a crowd getting you hyped up. As for the other question, the Giants are heading back east multiple times, but all their off days coincide with Reds games.

I really don't understand the desire to search for these sort of stupid statements by fans.

I don't think it would matter because PED suspensions are without pay. It matters. With that much money on the line it definitely matters. Not if there's a PED suspension it won't. If he doesn't get a lifetime ban, then there will be some haggling/buyout. If he's suspended he's not getting paid. He's not going to let $90m disappear without a fight. They are negotiating an endpoint. -

A-rod's done anyway. Would a lifetime ban void his contract? I don't think it would matter because PED suspensions are without pay. It matters. With that much money on the line it definitely matters. -

creepy internet stalkers lol well, he tweeted the picture.

Wood is back on the mound after a long layoff. He's facing Corbin. Garza is gone and the newest guys are still in the minors. Soriano is still here, but Theo and Jed are supposedly in Phoenix trying to talk Soriano into leaving, ala Mr. Henderson trying to convince Harry to leave, or Arya getting rid of Nymeria.

Apparently he's flying a United Express flight flown by Skywest.

Interesting Article by Kapler
jersey cubs fan replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in General Baseball Talk
That was an odd final sentence. My guess is he was hinting at the idea that smart management has a better footing to stand on in negotiations if they know what really matters, and the players remain ignorant to their value. -

Baseball is the only one of these sports that lives in its past and glorifies it to the extent that they do. To this day the greatest baseball players discussions begins and ends with a whole bunch of dead guys that baby boomers grew up watching, or rather listening to on their radio under their covers blahblahblah. Footballs greatest players, with the exception of running backs, all play right now and the NFL is very happy about that. The hero worship in the NBA goes back to Jordan for most people and Kobe Bryant is practically an old timer. Hockey isn't on any of these lists, but outside of Montreal and Toronto, everybody worships at least guys who played in the 80's/90's (Gretzky Lemieux) and have been going gaga for it forever. Baseball is all about history, sanctity, myth making and the poetry of the game rather than just really good pitchers throwing to really good hitters. It stands to reason the sport that thrives on the memories of 60 year old men who all think they created their own success and who can't stand the young kids is more up in arms about steroids (a theoretically modern change to the game). -

Does he think Captain America is real? -
I would guess one of them gets dealt, with an outside shot at 2. Just a guess. Yeah, well, a nice start may give him some leeway. He's probably going to be moved around the diamond a bit. He has the talent but he's probably going to be somewhat easily exploited, which will lead to plenty of days off. I don't see much of a good reason to do that soon. I don't see any player bringing back value. September should be fine. WHAT THE WHAT?!? Is this cycle just never going to end? Please let this cycle end. Nuts, moderately entertaining, probably a little letdown when it all settles out. 2015? Seriously?
-
No. So what is left on it easily covers the expected penalty payments for international signees?
-
Well said.

The Cubs aren't paying any of Garza's contract, are they?
