I can't believe anyone still takes the regular season that seriously.

woosh

The fact you guys took that seriously was worth every post in it This is like a tiny cherry meatball on top of a meatball sundae. delicious

Thinking that guaranteeing a 31 year old pitcher $210 million is a bad thing = meatball logic? Sure, okay You think it's worse to pay a guy 210M over 14 years than it is to pay him 210M over 7 years. Yes, that is dumb and meatball. Well I'm convinced -
You sure about that least meatbally statement you made before? Care to retract that statement now that we know that they'll be paying him $15m/year for 14 years? Does paying more of it later rather than sooner somehow make it worse in your mind? Like that is literally the definition of meatball logic.

I get that. And I understand that GM's think that they have to make these kinds of deals with declining stars in order to get them to sign, but it doesn't make me like them.

C - Montero (L) 1B - Rizzo (L) 2B - Javy? ® 3B - Bryant ® SS - Castro ® LF - Coghlan (L) CF - Fowler (S) RF - Soler ® Pretty nice lineup flexibility

javi baez deep concern and probably giving hope up thread
Derwood replied to treebird's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I asked for Baez's autograph at the Cubs Convention, but he missed the ball the first three times -
That's going to be a boutique hotel. Can't imagine they'd do it there. Always imagined it would be used in conjunction with the new ballpark facilities. If not, what - something like McCormick Place? That seems like overkill. I think it contractually has to be a Sheraton property
-
Absolutely
-
7 years for a 31 year old is just stupid. When will GMs ever learn?
-
Girl, you know it's true

I'm one of the least meatbally people here.

Oh yay...can't wait to hear about the Sox's response at their fan fest next weekend b/c you know they love to pander to their meatball fan base. Let me guess, something original like 100+ years and counting? I don't know if it's fair to complain about a team catering to their meatball fanbase in a thread about the Cubs Convention. It was far less meatbally than I anticipated

Steve Trout?

Guy at the Down On The Farm Q&A just got booed/shouted down by the crowd. There's always someone who likes hearing himself talk when they get a microphone
-
Outside of getting things like the convention program and some coupons, I don't get the point of paying for this convention. They haven't checked my ticket once all weekend. In fact, I had two tickets, but a third friend came with us and saw everything without buying a pass.

In Muskat's article, he also said he got drunk and celebrated after learning of the trade. That and his twitter stuff, it's hilarious how excited he is to be Cub. He mentioned getting drunk as well. He and Motte were hilarious about everything.
-
Someone asked Miguel Mongero how he found out he got traded. He said he read it online, and to this day, the D-Backs front office hasn't called him about it. Sounds like [expletive] to me, but funny if true

Gift store is selling grab bags (basically bags of crap) for $20. Mine has a Fujikawa shersey, which is worth it for the lulz
