  1. The Bears have now spent more in free agency than the Cubs
  2. These are the kind of crap deals that crap teams like the Reds have to offer to get anyone to play for them
  3. Makes sense to hire the old man whose VCR is still flashing 12:00 to manage the team that uses technology to cheat. He'd have no idea it was happening
  4. Failing upwards is the great mystery of all sports management. Many a man has made long, prosperous careers out of complete mediocrity
  5. What in tarnation
  6. Except that in high school (and travel ball), the pitchers are often also the best hitters, because they're the best athletes on the team. So pitchers don't inherently suck at hitting, they just get asked to stop doing it the second they turn pro no Counter-point: yes
  7. Pitchers don't suck at hitting because they don't work on it enough, they suck at it because hitting his hard and pitching gets better and better. Scrappy McJunkball could scratch out a hit or two against the scrubs that pitched in yesteryear, not because he put in the time and effort. Except that in high school (and travel ball), the pitchers are often also the best hitters, because they're the best athletes on the team. So pitchers don't inherently suck at hitting, they just get asked to stop doing it the second they turn pro
  8. And it slows the game down
  9. The Reds are already going to be annoying, and Castellenos would make them extra annoying. That team is going to be a pain
  10. Dalton is not a solid QB. He's mostly bad
  11. I notice he wasn't unhappy or feeling disrespected when they were handing him bags of money last year
  12. 34 - 7 What does 34-7 (nee 14) have to do with 10-7 and 21-13? Sweep?! I mean come on, join reality with me. nee 13
  13. Orr not. thaaaaat is not my quote
  14. So your premise is that he sucked because he was the starter, but he'll be somehow less awful because he'll be a backup (though there is no indication that's true as of today)?
  15. Fraud team is a fraud
  16. Unless Rodgers is jumping in to help stop the run, GB is burnt toast
  17. The San Francisco rebuild has been really impressive. This team is a force. Also, horsefeathers Green Bay forever
  18. Tom's argument is "he's just a guy so he's fine as a 5th OF or whatever" The rest of us are saying "he's just a guy so why not upgrade that roster spot instead of having one of the statistically worst hitters of 2019 sitting there"?
  19. High contact....right into a 4-3 put out. Sweet, let's extend him
  20. Saying Amora and Descalso are the answer to anything besides "who are the first two players that should be replaced" is pure madness
  21. Columbus has just 2 regulation losses in their last 20 games (14-2-4). They were completely left for dead, 12 points out of the playoffs, in early December. They now sit in the first wildcard, and just 2 points behind the Islanders for 3rd in the Metro. All this with 8-10 players on the IR
  22. what is a bane? Short for Banedon
  23. TIL that Lord Littlefinger was in The Dark Knight Rises
  24. Jessica Mendoza And Trevor Bauer rounds out the top 3. Honorable mention to Carlos Beltran. Lenny Dykstra
  25. Mendoza’s bad take probably has something to do with her being a paid advisor in the Mets organization
