  1. Dont Tennessee and A&M suck?
  2. Guillen is a [expletive] buffoon
  3. Odd. Lind has a really nice contract for the next 2 years and Estrada is a FA next year.
  4. http://blogs.riverfronttimes.com/gutcheck/Greg%2BJohnRice5.jpg
  5. Welp, Cleveland will probably go 8-74 and yet will still be ahead of the celtics But the Celtics won their first game, I don't understand.
  6. Welp, Cleveland will probably go 8-74
  7. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cubs/30732209-419/joe-maddon-cubs-historic-deal-announcement-could-come-thursday.html#.VFLJaRZsySo Wittenmeyer claims Theo still hasn't talked to Renteria.
  8. Butler, Infante, Hosmer, Moustakos and Perez were all worse than expected.
  9. Well that's kinda my point (reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated) Also, just to be pedantic, wouldn't you bet against any team to win the World Series?
  10. Alternatively, Jason Hammel was a second(at best) choice.
  11. Why? Their infield is young, and they can apparently conjure league average OFers out of thin air. mostly the giant forks hanging out of Matt Cain & Tim Lincecum...and does Panda stay? what's the rotation going to look like the next few years? all their top arms in the minors took pretty big steps back this season That fork has been in Lincecum for their last 2 titles. Cain was barely mediocre this year, and was probably pitching through elbow pain. I have no gauge on what Sandoval does as I haven't really paid attention to guys that won't concern the Cubs, but the Giants have shown a willingness to spend money, so I'd expect them to sign a fairly decent sized name this offseason either to bolster the rotation or replace Panda
  12. Lester, Scherzer and Martin probably get close to that That would be more than 60M. I think Kyle's key qualifier was "they'd want" There's still a small part of me worried that they're going to continue taking a hard line against what they deem a player is worth and let him walk if bidding goes beyond that.
  13. I have roughly 55 million for 14 players with arb estimates, though that could be driven down if they buyout Sweeney, non-tender Wood, etc. How could they buy out Sweeney?
  14. 60-65M from what starting point?
  15. Why? Their infield is young, and they can apparently conjure league average OFers out of thin air.
  16. Instead we live in a world where Sabean has three titles. Go ahead and crack a bottle and tell us why this is so outrageous. Pizza is on its way
  17. The fact that the move is a no-brainer should tell you that it has nothing to do with how the organization felt about Renteria. This was a matter of the guy the FO felt was the best manager in the business becoming available, so...uh sorry guy we have pegged as 12th, we're gonna upgrade.
  18. Stupid Sexy Flanders nice guy Brett
  19. So the Rays apparently told their coaches they'd be retained a day or 2 ago, should we assume we keep everyone else?
  20. http://www.bleachernation.com/2014/10/29/away-we-go-chicago-cubs-reportedly-set-to-hire-joe-maddon/ lol, Brett edited it to: I guess his "sources" changed their tune once his other "sources" on Twitter say it wasn't quite done yet. Eh, I believe Brett has sources. He's been at it long enough and probably has a good enough reputation as a writer/blogger to meet people who know things. Now Loxas on the other hand, he's full of [expletive]. I don't believe he has much more than the twin doofuses Loxas and Arguello. And he's being totally intellectually dishonest as he's edited his original message again but now has this listed up top.
  21. And yes, I have an erection.

  23. You'll be sorry when this sends him back to his wheelchair.
  24. If they didn't feel sorry for Renteria over the last 5 days, why start now?
  25. Well that settles it. Though maybe I should wait on Hoops to confirm.
