Welcome to the Game Threads Forum Hahahaha. True.

Reading this thread it sounded like we had given up five runs or something.

Everyone should have 3 days off; it's the greatest thing in the world. No matter how busy your weekend is inevitably you almost always still have 1 day to just do whatever. It's the best stress-killer. 3 days off would be awesome, but 2 days off in a row is a must. I pity my co-workers who have stupid schedules like Monday and Thursday off. You can't do [expletive] with that schedule And getting off at 2pm on Thursday and not working again until Sunday is basically 2 1/2 days off Yup. A two day off one is nice, but it always goes by so quick. When I get three in a row, it always feels like I was actually off for a bit. It's perfect. That said, I get screwed often times with the non-consecutive days off, and you're so very right, it sucks.

I would trade Derwood's schedule for Sofa's schedule, but it isn't bad or anything. But the three days off in a row, and a shift where you don't have to get up early but don't work THAT late, is unbeatable.
-
Eh, sort of; I'm technically private sector. Contractor and all that. Still pretty [expletive] cool.

You want me to send you some money on paypal so you can get mlb.tv? I have it; can't use it at work. I thought you were a fed now. Feds don't work at night. Whut. I work 4 noon-10:30 shifts. Sleep in, no traffic and the weekend +Monday off. It's glorious. Wait. You're a FED? That's amazing.
-
cherry pick? God you are ridiculous They had plenty of teams to trade with and chose not to. I get being disappointed, but again, you have no idea what the talks were like. There might have been demands that we pick up a bad contract. There might have been requests for players off our Major League roster. We just don't know. I can't be mad without knowing what they actually turned down. But, sure, I'm disappointed nothing worked out. But that's the breaks.
-
Tough to be so sure. You have no idea what was being asked for.
-
Which would be paid by the Phillies. Ain't nobody trading for him if not.
-
I've arrived at the point where I think I've accepted that the Cubs aren't doing anything big. I went through the stage of denial when some tweets indicated as such, attempting to make myself believe it was just a negotiating ploy. But it's not.
-
That was my thought. Has to be.
-
I've gotten nothing to add other than Ross Kimbrel would be so awesome. Kimbrel is a bad ass.

http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/30765.png&w=350&h=254 Yeah, not even the same at all. How's that? http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/30327.png&w=350&h=254 Who the [expletive] is that? -

By the way, we are still going to need a starter for Sunday. -

Not saying Theo is perfect, but these are the times when I don't believe we have to worry we gave up anything. At all. He knows what's up. -

Does this mean we don't have to pay him any money since the Dodgers picked up the bill? -
If it's just a trade for Ross, I'd have to imagine it would be Baez and not Castro or a prospect package with neither. I can't imagine the Padres trading Ross AND adding payroll in the process Edit: or do what Deeg said above and pay some of Castro's salary.
-
lol i would've given up the cubs equivalent to that package in half a gd second And neither of those guys are rentals. And other than the one outfielder, was the package really that great?
-
Kimbrel would be so awesome. Get it done. Please. And have Ross come along, too.
-
I'm an Italian American too, so that means 50-50 credit. Are you eating pasta? Not at this exact moment, so I'm willing to concede 75-25 to you.

I think that's where the worrying goes too far. You have to be a bit patient. And I'm not talking about for a month or two. These guys will blossom over the course of a few seasons. You can see the talent is there. They are learning on the job.
-
Except everyone is underperforming and it's feasible the gears could snap back into the place at any time. How long has this been said now? I know it was two weeks ago that I was discussing this with David and telling him the offense is what it is for this season. He didn't agree, and he still might not, but I think the statement will hold true.
-
Not sure it will end up being that close. Brewers are a bad matchup for this team.
