If the Cubs do jump in and make a play for Harper, then I DO think there is a case for collusion.

I think the Cubs are exhibit A that there is no collusion. The owners are just cheap AF.

And this article http://www.cpioneer.com/news/article_11a01167-48ea-5d72-9205-beebbcc048e3.html

What my tooth guy uses doesn't have the sharp edges anymore, but its heavier and only mildly less annoying.

Its true that X-rays can make the cancers, but everything has risk. Hell, the cancer risk of being exposed to sunlight for 162 games a year is probably the same order of magnitude as a CT scan on a limb.

There’s literally no other way to describe something powerful enough to travel through tissues, organs, and bones. Like I said, feel free to call me crazy, but some of you guys are *insanely* casual about this stuff as if there is zero consequence The sound of a sneeze can pass through BONE

I got 'blasted" by X-rays just last week at the dentist. Actual footage

More reason to go the safest routes first - rest and therapy, not less. The first reaction to fixing something extremely valuable and expensive, let alone a living and breathing organism, should definitely not be to blast it with dangerous particles. What it does to a person both physically and mentally is not something to be trifled with. Straight up - people overrate and overvalue fancier sounding medical procedures, most of that horsefeathers is fast becoming archaic/obsolete. There’s tons of literature on unnecessary medical procedures, this country especially can’t wait to test, scan, image, and/or operate. A couple non-academic pieces: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/medical-procedures-prove-unnecessary/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/doctors-estimate-68-billion-in-unnecessary-medical-tests/2011/10/28/gIQANpEXZM_story.html?utm_term=.609ae14b4ddf Those articles almost exclusively are (rightly) harping on the COST of the diagnostics. What isn't dealing with diagnostic cost is the stuff in the Scientific American where they talk about treating slow-growing cancer that is unlikely to effect anyone before they die of other stuff. It definitely doesn't apply to billionaire owned teams checking in on their millionaire athletes' bodies. On a side note, are you also scared of wi-fi, microwave ovens, and visible light?

Chris Cotilo also got a job based on twitter. Not sure whether he had actual sources though. He for sure did. He would break legit news at the Winter Meetings while still a teenager and had the respect of his.......well not peers, but of the industry. On the other hand, it's an embarrassment that the best Cubs message board in the world has given Cat so much pub this offseason. That's something a Brewers board would do. Yeah, but the attention was in a "I can't look away from this trainwreck" type of gaze, which is basically what this thread is all about, right?

Put it on the booooaaaaaarrrrddddddddd YES!!!!!

Ever since he inexplicably tried to simultaniously argue both that the Cubs broke Heyward and that pre-Cubs Heyward is the same as Cubs' Heyward, he's been in a mood. it's so unfortunate that i went to all the trouble of speaking to you in that thread and yet you still failed completely at reading comprehension I'm rubber and yer glue, dood.

Someone give me odds on whether or not he's talking about someone who actually exists outside of his head. I'll lay you 10-1 (He's talking about IMB)

Did you stop? I gave him a look like "What do you want me to do?" and took half a step into the other guy standing next to me, and I guess that was enough to satisfy his bloodlust.

I haven't been to Chicago very often, but one of the few times I went a guy on a very crowded bus threatened to stab me if I didn't stop standing behind him. I've lived in and been to a lot of shaddy cities, but a stab threat was a first for me. Respect Chicago!

All in nickels and pennies, I hope?

Most especially with the Nats signing Dozier today. That line is crazy.

Under on the Brewers. I definitely agree with that, but didn't say it because some people around here get very sore about the whole dismissing the Brewers thing. Then they can bet up the over so I can take Brewers under 85.

Under on the Brewers.

I just automatically like anything that includes "Todd Bonzalez" in it.

Man, Brandon McCarthy is the man. One of my good friends graduated from HS with him. Knowing the area that he grew up in, the rich part of Colorado Springs, its doubly impressive how cool he is. I guess its where he got his sh1t talk chops from.

This is nothing at all like what we piled on you for. This statement is almost completely unrelated to what you said earlier.
