Tyrant

Allegedly assaulting a woman. most of us don't allegedly assault women either.

so it sounds like baez is probably starting the year in iowa. if the over/under on major league at bats for him this year is 250, what do you take?

Cutler is a 'first class douche.' I'd think Kaep is more of a 'second class douche.' #progress Tattoo overload, kissing biceps, and talking [expletive] all the time is way worse than Cutler being a dick to the media and yelling at J'Marcus Webb. oh no not tattoos

I know that Brett knows but that article he wrote was so far up Theo's ass he could taste Theo's breakfast. that's just where brett lives

Sounds to me like he's at least a little nervous that the PA might push this one. no

if the cubs don't win i think we're all going to end up hating maddon like we do dempster.

isn't he beautiful, son? *son looks directly at kris's junk, nods* http://boysofspring.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/8x12-72-ST15-BOS-bryant-08.2.jpg

I'll take that bet. And as always, you can't just take the best of 5 guys. It's not a better ball situation. You have to pick one, and send them out there, and if they suck you don't get those games back. Correct, that's what I'm referring to, although they obviously have spring training to decide which they like best. I believe in the combo of decisionmaking, coaching, and talent there that the 5th starter will be league average if not better. I do not believe in Hamels' health, ability, or age enough to believe he'll be better than a 4 win pitcher this year. You believe the Cubs 5th starter will be, at worst, an average major league starting pitcher? yeah, that's pretty optimistic.

needs a minimum at bats obviously. i say if he does it for at least 450 at bats you have to do it.

:lol: :lol: i'm surprised his tweet isn't just about nitpicking the impossibilities of that movie

Probably because he wasn't the top choice. I think they were trying to get Chud and couldn't. Also, Gase was still pursuing other gigs that he didn't get. I think both sides ended up here out of a lack of other options. Well right that's his point. Fox would know better than anyone how good Gase is, and he still persued multiple other options before falling back to Gase. i doubt it means much. if fox had real issues with gase he probably wouldn't have hired him at all.

Depends on if it has been well fed with nacho cheese sauce and thick onion gravy. I've been a lurker for a few years. Can someone point me to the origination of the "thick onion gravy" meme? http://www.northsidebaseball.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2090310#p2090310 how did that not get responses? chuck needs to come back http://www.northsidebaseball.com/forum/search.php?author_id=11369&sr=posts

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 lol that's not even a bad understanding of baseball. that's just a bad understanding of how money works.

i feel like you would've rather they traded russell for fowler just for the sake of trading a prospect away

they probably won't even get any surplus value from that contract

no?

Evidence? this study breaks down the randomness of the four majors sports and their playoffs: http://harvardsportsanalysis.org/2013/09/undeserving-champions-examining-variance-in-the-postseason/ not a huge surprise but there's still some reliability to the nfl playoffs.

give it a whirl

try it sometime.

seriously, try it sometime.

Scientific? Who said it was? Logical? Bears said next coach/GM will determine if Cutler is back. Obviously they don't feel he's the longterm answer if there's even a question now. Why hire a guy to make the best of 2 years in the grand scheme of things? i just don't think you know what you are arguing. You insist that there has been some sort of special treatment of Jay above the normal treatment of a similar-caliber quarterback. That the Bears have made moves because of him that no other team would have made for similar Quarterback X. That his simple existence on the roster has caused mass insanity and incompetence among coaches and GMs. I assure you that any incompetence or insanity was pre-existing and not Jay's fault. You absolutely cannot separate Jay from the QB position or his talent-level. This is why you're being a meatball, because a normal person looks at Jay Cutler and sees an above average QB that's prone to risk-taking and mistakes. You look at Jay Cutler and see someone who is ruining your dreams and causing others to go mad. Bears management tried to make the offense good, that's it. They tried to amass a line and a stable of receivers that can run and catch and score TDs. That has nothing to do with Jay Cutler, Cutler simply happened to be the quarterback when this all happened. Saying that they shouldn't try to build around Jay ascribes a measure of blame on him for simply being himself. Like this was part of his evil plan to get the coach and GM fired and he's not deserving of usable offensive pieces around him. The simple thought that the Bears made a mistake by trying to "build around Jay" is so absurd and meatballish i have no words. you should try to win an argument sometime without using the word "meatball."
