Any chance for parole?
-
It’s really feeling like Harper (and Machado) and their agents entered this off season expecting that teams would be climbing over each other to hand out record-breaking contracts, and are now in the awkward position of seeing a drying up market. Harper, at least, can go back to the Nats on a “hometown discount” (to save face) but Machado? I don’t know what he does. How low are these guys willing to sign for in order to play where they want?
-
Hey, Tazawa was last good in....2015....so at age 33 he's sure to bounce back -
I get the feeling that Bryce just doesn't want to play for Philly. If this was only about the money, Philly would have signed him by now

I'm fine with owners not signing off on stupid 9 figure extensions on 30+ year olds on the downside of their careers. But to lump Harper and Machado in with the Evan Longoria's of the world as a reason to not pay people is absurd. Owners suck
-
So with Pollock in LA, the market for Harper is pretty much just Philly now, right?
-
Did he sprain his shoulder signing the contract? Yes, I’ve already made this joke
-
For who though? You'd have to get a lot for Kane to make it worth it. What team could offer enough to make that trade worth it? I think you'd nee to get 2 top 6 forwards, a potential top pairing defenseman and a 3rd line center to make it worthwhile. That's assuming Kane would even agree to the trade which he doesn't have to do. Unfortunately, that's never how NHL trades work. The Blue Jackets are potentially trading away a two-time Vezina-winning goalie and will be lucky to get a mid-tier player and a couple of draft picks. Now Bobrovsky is a UFA this year, while Kane has 4 years left on his deal (huge difference), but that's 4 years of a $10.5M cap hit for a player's age 30-33 years.

I like that Gordon's reaction is to walk away in disgust instead of helping defend the play. ONLY THE BEST in the NBA

Wrigley Renovations and Related Wrigleyville Stuff
Derwood replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
i.e. High-powered cell signal disruptors, coupled with pay-per-minute WiFi through Ricketts Cellular [tm] $1.99/minute (minimum package is 60 minutes, no rollover), plus $15 sign-up fee (new sign-up required every game). Signal strength may vary -
I assume that Wrigley Field's name is somehow protected as a Chicago landmark? Otherwise I would have assumed that Ricketts would have renamed it "The Sean Hannity Radio Call-In Show Field" by now

SITTING ON A CORNFLAKE I remember asking my mom what that meant when I was like 10 and her having to tip toe around the fact that John wrote that in a haze of acid The story I’ve heard is that Lennon was annoyed that Bob Dylan wrote some popular songs that had nonsensical lyrics, so this was him writing the most random song possible
-
That park sucks no matter what it’s called
-
Yep, even if it wasn't PI, it was definitely unnecessary roughness
-
So when Machado and Harper sign, then we're going to see the rest of the FA's all sign in like 36 hours, right? Feels like everyone is waiting on these two chumps
-
Why Fridge and Forte? Because the Bears are a storied franchise with an insanely low number of storied players
-
Well one of them is tree bird mocking the other ones
-
-
they had them 3rd and 10 THREE TIMES on that last drive. they deserve to lose. Absolutely they deserve to lose. Doesn't make the OT rules not suck butt
-
NFL overtime rules can eat a butt. Coin flips shouldn't impact the winner of the game
-
KC is never going to get the ball FML
-
Well this game turned into a Big XII championship game in the 4th quarter
-
Not a banner day for the refs in either game
-
Christ, the NFL just can't help themselves
