If the White Sox are actually serious about signing Harper, is anyone at all concerned about them blowing past whatever largest offer the Cubs end up with, considering their irrational and petty hatred of the Cubs organization?
-
That was implied. I already know your opinion but I'll ask it anyways, do you think white straight guys don't enjoy privileges? I mean, can you name a person who owns a baseball team that isn't a straight white guy? I can only think of one, and he spends more than PTR, and he supports a few progressive things, so to Boombox's other absurd point where he asks what more we could hope for out of an owner... Well, your assumption is wrong. I do think white straight guys enjoy privileges or advantages in life. I do consider myself lucky in life, but I'm not going to feel bad about myself for being a white straight guy. Actually, I'm not sure which non-white owner in baseball you are talking about...I just assume they are all white. Speaking of the Ricketts, doesn't co-owner Laura do a lot of progressive things and the ownership as a whole do a lot of charitable work?

ah so you're white & straight I'm surprised you didn't mention "privileged" too

ooo ooo, I love these "reasonable doubt" posts that have nothing to do with anything. This entire discussion is based on the theory that the Cubs drastically cut their expected budget and are no longer going to spend on players this offseason, something that has been reported by dozens of people. I think it's all bunk, myself. Exactly, a theory. We'll see if it proves to be correct. None of us knows that answer, so let's see what happens. Like everyone else, I will be pissed if they don't spend money this offseason when they are in the middle of their window.
-
Can someone please post a link that proves that Ricketts put spending limits on the FO this off-season. Asking for a friend...
-
No, you need to grow up. Also, it's fun to have a team that buys talented players. It's not fun to have them choose profit over said talented players. How do you know they are choosing profit over talented players?
-
From what I’ve gathered from some people in this thread: 1) “All rich white men are evil” 2) Socialism Seriously though, I’ll be pissed if they don’t sign Harper due to Ricketts tightening the purse. Then again, none of us will really know the reason.

This video posted by a Dodgers fan to Brewers Twitter tonight is priceless: https://mobile.twitter.com/cybreazy/status/1053850359439847424 I can’t stop laughing
-
I won’t be happy until the VBs are out
-
This ump consistently sucks
-
Maybe Freeland could have done the same on normal rest today if he wasn’t being saved for a hypothetical Game 4
-
Are the Rockies really going to save Freeland for game 4 instead of pitching him on normal rest for tomorrow’s elimination game?
-
Saw that Garrett Richards will be a FA. I know he’s been hurt the past 3 years and had TJ surgery this year, but he has really good stuff. Anyone like the idea of the Cubs taking a flier on him and grooming him for the bullpen? He has really good stuff, but not sure when he’d be back from rehab.
-
Anyone want to guess who that was? you guessed it: frank stallone. Not sure who you are referring to by Frank Stallone. Was it La Stella?
-
Being held to 1 run or less runs 40 or whatever the horsefeathers times seems like a statiscal anomaly, it won't happen again. A statistical anomaly is definitely not 25%
-
horsefeathers the Brewers and their fat ass and self righteous fans
-
There’s an opening with the Angels...
-
Rockies splits show they are way worse against righties. Might be smart to pitch Hendricks tonight out of the pen. Can't pitch in LDS if we don't get there first. All hands on deck tonight.
-
This all day. Only gave up 3 runs so far. Is getting 4 -5 runs that much to ask?
-
Another bad Theo transaction
-
FIFY
-
He’s not hitting either
-
Guessing we’ll see Hader the next two innings
-
Murphy is struggling big time
