2015 Bears Offseason (Foxy new Head Coach page 104)
Tyrant replied to Magnetic Curses's topic in Other Sports
http://chicago.suntimes.com/bears-football/7/71/264288/jerry-angelo-chris-ballard-bears-couldnt-get-better-candidate it's not the dumbest thing i've ever heard. -
it'd be amazing if everyone just blocked kyle and no one replied to him ever and then we could pretend he didn't exist.
-
we promised him we would have another top 10 draft pick in 2016, otherwise he wouldn't have signed.
-
If I'm understanding this right, 250k for each game finished between 50 and 59. Then 250k for pitching in 50 games, and another 250k for pitching in 65 games, but the most his bonus can be is $2.5m Did we make him any kind of promises about finishing games? Did we just spend money on a Proven Closer? i bet they did. i bet they did it to piss you off.

The most pessimistic side of me really hopes this isn't a case of discovering a shiny new toy and going overboard. like you and the internet
-
I'm just a known idiot, but I am aware that this crazy thing called "Spring Training" exists. "Hey Kris, go spend twenty minutes tracking down fly balls" on some high-sunned March morning. Boom, he now can handle left field. this post just makes me want a 20 minute video of you trying to catch fly balls on a sunny day.
-
I don't know why anyone would think that. They are 100% certain that Bryant is going to play a position he has never played even though he just spent an entire minor league season at 3B? That doesn't make any sense. It's left field. You don't need experience to play it. You do need some to play it competently. it's kyle. he doesn't actually understand baseball remember?

Week 16: Lions at Bears on Fox at noon Sunday
Tyrant replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Not sure why LOL, that has basically been the mindset of every player that has ever played, aside from Pat Tillman. yea, not sure why the LOL either. i found that pretty sobering. -
Yeah...and I don't get the calls to bench Cutler either. I mean, even if you think he's the worst QB ever to grace the football field with his presence, why would you replace him? People are impatient and want to see blood right now rather than waiting 13 days they're going to have to wait a lot longer than that. trestman isn't going anywhere.
-
probably thinking volquez.
-
Anybody have any info on Ovando, that's a pretty sizable signing for a 16 YO muskat says the cubs are converting him to pitcher.
-
pete and billy, sittin in a tree pete says to billy THERE'S NO WAY JET FUEL GETS HOT ENOUGH TO MELT STEEL
-
wonder if castillo could be part of a trade for whatever the "big bat" is that was mentioned on twitter yesterday if the cubs sign lester.
-
no way i'm giving up mejia and paying the whole deal. you could argue he has the highest ceiling of any pitcher in our system you could, but it would be a terrible argument
-
I think he did get the Garza deal before anyone else.
-
"I am number 1."
-
isn't montero sort of a jackass? i recall him having trouble dealing with young pitchers or something.
-
I mean, they could be better that way, but it's also possible they don't improve your team at all with them. Choi vs. Lee. It isn't very similar to Choi vs Lee at all. We're talking about players with established levels of performance. We're also talking about pitchers who all have variance in year to year performance. But whether we are better off one way or another isn't the point. The post was a response to people saying we're essentially hosed unless we get an "ace" level guy. What is Brett Anderson's established level of performance? Guy who might be good if he can throw more than 22 innings? well, if you combine mccarthy and anderson, you get probably half of a pretty okay starter.
-
i just don't see the fascination with mccarthy. he's thrown more than 135 innings twice in a decade. he shouldn't be counted on for anything.
-
well we've hit that stage of the offseason
-
What does it matter if he decides today or in two weeks? It's not like spring training starts tomorrow. What does it matter where he signs? It's not life changing. ah, got it. you were kidding.

The meaning of the post. Jesus Christ. Are you serious? The point being the difference in money over 6 years will be negligible. So deciding what uniform to put on and do the very same job in a different great city with millions of dollars for a very short amount of time is not life changing. Millions of dollars is the opposite of negligible.
