    So you want Crane Kenney and Gillick working side by side in the front office? I mean I'm not completely against that but I'd assume that they don't want to pay 2 people for pretty much the same position, even if Gillick is a pure baseball guy and Kenney is a purse business guy. And there's plenty of room at the top of a sports team for a business executive and a baseball executive. Especially if the baseball executive is 100 years old and going to be gone in 3 years.

    Also, wouldn't Zambrano reject a trade to Florida?
  4. SouthSideRyan
    I imagine the Astros would put in a claim on him. They would probably offer something better than Zambrano in return too.
  5. SouthSideRyan
    It's just that that's a lot of money for Florida to pick up for an underperforming player. It really doesn't fit into their payroll, and is very unlikely to even go past the initial offer from Hendry. Plus has Morrison even cleared waivers?
  6. SouthSideRyan
    Holy [expletive], people's obsessions with Crane Kenney are annoying.
  7. SouthSideRyan
    I thought there was no deal??

    If I wanted to impress my billionaire friends, I'd make sure to own the team that is widely known as losers.

    Welp, hope I have good news when I wake up tomorrow.

    And if you're wondering about his scouting eye, his live blog of the NBA '07 draft consisted of Liking Oden Conley Corey Brewer Brandon Wright Acie Law Julian Wright Morris Almond (WHO??) Zack Randolph back when he was still a fat tub of goo Marco Belinelli Jason Smith Jared Dudley Derrick Byars(??) The '07-'08 Knicks Disliking Durant Horford Jeff Green Al Thornton Noah Hawes Stuckey Channing Frye Wilson Chandler Aaron Brooks Arron Afflolo Just an amazing run of incompetence.

    Hollandsworth said Ramirez not going to the all-star game on 3 minutes notice proves that he's not helping the young guys on the team. Ramirez's teammates performing poorly while Ramirez has done well also proves this for some reason.

    If he's so ashamed he should drop his appeal to the players union and accept the ~$3 million loss of income during the next 30 days. For the more statistical inclined, how much is the value of a win? I always forget how that works. $4.5 mil per win? Zambrano is has a 1.0 WAR this year, so in reality he's pitching like a $4.5 million pitcher Pretty sure the union is who's appealing, not Zambrano. A union isn't going to let a team take away 1/6 of a member's income because they're mad at him.

    I'm going to DVR it on the off-chance he rips Kaplan's head off on live tv. And by rip his head off, I mean literally remove his head from his body. Killing him. Wouldn't you be shocked to see him actually on-set? Can't you let me have this fantasy just once.
  16. SouthSideRyan
    I don't think Florida would agree to that trade.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    Were there no SPs out there that would have beefed up the rotation so that maybe when injuries happened they wouldn't be so screwed? Aren't they cutting back the payroll significantly? Is that all part of the master plan or are they just pinching pennies? If they are saving up to spend this offseason, then that makes sense. I'll grant you that I'm reserving my full judgment to see what happens this offseason. I don't think there's any evidence that the Cubs didn't sign another starter due to monetary concerns. If they wanted Cashner in the rotation (as they should) to start the year, who did you want replaced in the rotation before the season started?

    You don't have to be smart to run a Ponzi scheme.

    What should the Cubs have spent money on under Ricketts?
  21. SouthSideRyan
    This was 4 games into the season.

    It's more than his twitter shenanigans. He's been taking shots at Hanley Ramirez, and skipped a season ticket holder meet and greet the day he was demoted to AAA. After the team [expletive] him over on his own charity event. This is yet another exhibit in the case against Jeff Loria. Can't have any sass talk from the proles, no sir. This scumbag is right up there with Dan Snyder and Don Sterling. He's much worse than them. He's not even human.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    Hollandsworth must've had some bad mentoring in his career, since his best year was his rookie season.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    Did anyone else notice how truly terrible Houston is. 38-83, how did I miss this? Also, JR Towles: .180/.264/.297
  25. SouthSideRyan
    Thanks Erik.
