    ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS GO PRO. Except for you Meyers, your education is important.

    Wait, I didn't notice this before. How the hell is there definitely a benefit to signing this guy to a deal that guarantees $8m? Wait, what 8M for a 4th guy in an OF rotation?

    Do you think the Cubs are really close to that point? Is there a single player on the team that you would say is an elite defender? Maybe Barney? Otherwise the best case is guys like Crisp, DeJesus, Byrd, and Jackson, who aren't going to be Brett Gardner in racking up runs saved. I think there's enough room on the field for those types of marginal improvements to be realized, even across many positions. I'd say Crisp and Dejesus in the corners would be elite.

    You don't see diminishing returns by having great defenders play next to each other?

    IIRC, they brought in Woody Williams from the pen on 1 day rest to try and lock it down, and we beat up on him too. I know for certain that Felix Sanchez gave up a grand slam to make it 6-0. Fucked up that I remember that.

    That was before he found his lucrative job on the oil rigs. 10.0 trying to figure out the reference, I foundthis. So, um, what's the reference? It's a cubbiebum thing. And am I really the only person who has a problem with a story that involves a bum drinking poison? I don't think anyone has any issues with as long as it's DA bum.

    Auburn's DC has also left to take the DC position at Central Florida. Makes you wonder if something is up at Auburn. Although it's hard to imagine that they could get in trouble for anything considering that they were completely exonerated out of what appeared to be a pretty obvious and major violation. Maybe they bought a kid a pizza

    Are the people who voted Bachman and Santorum dems who want an easy win? I've never seen anyone admit to being a supporter of them

    Nothing irrational about the parent company dictating what assets it wants, but it's very irrational for the parent company to tell them to pay whatever it takes. I'm sure they meant it literally

    That's all kinds of goofy. So a Canadian broadcast conglomerate is dictating the Jays' baseball operations? Maybe next they'll ask Jose Bautista to manage their 4G rollout. They also own the team. That's all kinds of goofy. The Cubs have some sort of NEWSPAPER COMPANY telling them how much money they should spend? Have you heard this one guys??

    I never really considered the possibility that Darvish could make more money staying in Japan, if he doesn't get a strong offer from the winning bidder. I kinda assumed he'd have very little leverage with whichever club wins the posting. Any particular reason he'll stop making money off the field after leaving Japan?

    Matt Garza for Mitch Moreland would be the worst trade in baseball history.

    A little bit too much information. But yeah, I lived right by the Black Duck for about 10 years. Wow. My sister lived around the corner from you for a couple years. Ugh, this is terrifying; I live right down the street from there. She doesn't live anywhere near there now. Hasn't for probably 5-6 years. Not coincidentally around the time I returned to the Chicago area.

    Oops, reading is hard.

    Retweeted by Ace Maybe I'm just stating the obvious but my thought was he was talking about the chances of getting theo when the GM search process started. But then if he's saying that, he's saying the Cubs have a better than 2% chance of getting Darvish? Maybe somebody who's paid to write should learn how to write.

    And you should see how dirty some of these kids' assholes are.

    Clay Matthews looks a lot more like a meth addict.

    If you want to be a crazy-eyed optimist, they could be pushing to get Fielder done before the winner of the Darvish bid is revealed. That way the loser(s) on Darvish don't up the ante on Fielder.

    No idea how that Rockies game isn't in your top 5.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    Defense and baserunning is the new walks (although walks are certainly still welcome). Get with the program already. Great let's be the 75 win A's or the 65 win Mariners

    I like Gerhart for goalline carries this week.

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-report-bears-receiver-hurd-arrested-on-drug-charges-20111215,0,461077.story $700,000 per week. That's a spicy meatball.
