Rob Dibble's thoughts on Strasburg injury
SouthSideRyan replied to Z38Cubs's topic in General Baseball Talk
I'm an idiot, the first time I read that I didn't even pick up on the Dibble hasn't seen Strasburg's records and he's not a doctor so he should shut up about it. I was just thinking he was being coy about a suspension or something. Same -

Indians fans loathed him IIRC -
I have a feeling the obnoxious private schoolers will go out of their way to let you know your school is run by the state :P I know all too well. I was out there last year.

Perhaps brandishing an illegal firearm

If there's one thing Thad Matta has proven, it's that he knows how develop a big man to be ready for the pros

Sorry that Kevin Durant died IMB.

Oooh a Saturday afternoon game for me to be an obnoxious state schooler on the road? Can't wait.

Just so damn sexy

Coinflip. I'll say White for today.

AHHHH Visions of a 3 year deal for Adam LaRoche just flashed in my head.

They want a lefty. For once the obsession with handedness will help us.

And why is the GM allowing a coach to make personnel decisions? I don't know, why has he allowed it the past 8 seasons?

Marlins lied about finances to get more money for stadium
SouthSideRyan replied to Ski's topic in General Baseball Talk
So lawyers of NSBB, is there any legal recourse for those residents who are funding this monstrosity under false pretenses, or is this just idiot government officials beware? -
How so?

i hope it's of him standing over a fallen patrick ewing. or maybe it should be of him pointing to spike lee's chair. Maybe him watching Toni Kukoc make a shot.

Soto 8th.

Why in the [expletive] is Iowa at Indiana on TV?

I'd imagine it's 1B, bullpen and bench. Which I guess is ok as far as where to focus, but I'm pretty damn scared of what type of contracts are going to be spent on guys to pitch 60 innings.
-
Didn't this happen in conjunction with guys getting an extra pre-option year? Or did I make that up?
-
Do you mean like current manager and heir apparent in the same dugout? If so, I'd say Torre/Girardi and Torre/Mattingley that I can think of off the top of my head. No, I mean two candidates for the same job, Girardi/Sandberg, ending up as manager/bench coach. Girardi played under and then coached under an established Torre. I want to say some team wound up with like 3 of their top candidates all on the coaching staff, but I'm drawing a blank as to who. ETA: Brewers maybe? They have Macha, Randolph and Sveum all in the dugout.

You're adding the 10-13M in raises to the base payroll, but not the dollar amount they're getting raises from. (Marmol for example you're only counting as 2.5-4M, as opposed to 4.6-6.1M) That accounts for at least another 5M Then you have the minimum salary guys which are going to add at least 2M more. That puts you at 115-120M before adding anyone.

I'm not following

Somebody needs to trade for Jason Marquis before the year is over. The streak mustn't end!

What's my assumption? The logic in passing on Dunn is that I'm hesitant to give a four year, big money contract to a guy who will be 32 before we likely will be competitive again. I was a huge Dunn supporter 2 years ago when we signed Milton Bradley, but I don't know that potentially overpaying for Dunn now would make a lot of sense when there very possibly could be better options available a year later, when we'll actually (from my point of view) be competitive again. Replacing Theriot with DeWitt and Lee with Dunn would go a long way to making us more competitive next year. If we add Dunn ($12 mil per), and the Cubs payroll stays where it is ($144 mil), that still gives us $27 mil to make improvement to the team. They will have room to make improvements. Those #s can't be right. Are you figuring in raises due to existing contracts/arbitration?
