He's a tumbling, tumbling [expletive]. Hard pass. -
Eh, giving a 34 year old pitcher $20 million isn’t necessary for an FU offseason. I’m a Hamels fan but the best window for him on the Cubs was under the non-option years of that 2012 extension thanks to the [expletive] salary cap If they’re having to jump through crazy hoops to bring back a 34 year old pitcher they apparently really want I’m worried about how much money they really have to spend. That being said. There has to be some leverage with the Rangers here if they’re on the hook for the $6 million buyout. Tell them instead of just eating $6 million in cash they can take back a Kintzler and we’ll give them Zack Short and a pitching prospect or some horsefeathers for a PTBNL Seriously. I can see Theo sitting in a shadowy booth in Arlington smoking a cigar and loudly musing, as soon as the Rangers' GM enters the lounge, "It would be a REAL shame if we didn't have the cap space to pick up Cole's option. hahahahaHAHAHAHA!!!!"

Just so long as Chris Gimenez isn't pals with Bryce.

538's obsession with ELO is amazing to me. For baseball it could make sense, if it wasn't so random and dependant on pitching match ups. That they use it for football almost exclusively with 16 game seasons where the results of rosters that no longer exist greatly effect future ELO ratings...gross. Pythag and WAR are a much better indicator of talent levels.

The problem with baseball today is that managers do not manage the 4th inning with the 18th inning in mind. Xactly. Much more efficient to lose by 3 in regulation than giving yourself a better chance but losing in 18.

I watched some Critic episodes like 4 years ago and I was stunned at how unfunny it was...apart from Duke, who is still hillarious.

I think I was the only one hating on Jon Lovitz, and I made no comment on Jackass, so not sure which world you are referring to.

...which brings us back to Jon Lovitz. http://jewornotjew.com/img/people/h/hanukkah_harry.jpg Half of Jon's shtick is that he's a living, breathing (and coincidentally very conservative, which is my main beef) Jewish stereotype. So Jon "I'm not funny" Lovitz is ...look, this is just the dumbest argument I've had on this site. Take up Tom Cruise's depiction of a Jewish stereotype with Ben Stiller and some guy named Etan Cohan. They wrote the screenplay. The only thing Tom added was fat hands and the silly dance routine. If you just want to blanket every depiction of a white guy playing a black guy as racist I can't stop you. Blackface obviously has a loaded history, but Tropic Thunder was wholely conscious of what it was doing, and it wasn't minstrel in its depiction. I think you are missing the forrest for the trees if you generalize that extremely.

Tropic Thunder is and was hillarious. I will not budge from that one iota.

I want to take this moment to point out that Jon Lovitz's star has aged less gracefully than Downey's. Arguing about avatars is a bit silly, but that's not at all the point Sammy was making. The point I'm making is I hate Mojo's avatar more than Tom's. Infinitely so. Most everything we argue about here is completely silly, for the record.

agreed. is that some alt-right secret handshake thing? we don’t ever need to see a picture of that nightmare person again until he’s dead and someone is desecrating his corpse. Ironic gifs are ironic gifs. Some Drax the Destroyer pearl clutching going on in here.

Give me all the Gyorko!!!

I knew next to nothing about Chili apart from him possibly killing our dongs. Thank you for this interview, Chili, so I don't have to regret your absence or well-earned jettison.

I dunno. The guy was a first round pick and his eyeballs didn't even work. He probably had some kind of secret sauce he can teach the kids. -
Point taken, even if she is a surfer, and they weren't actually in the same room together, and clearly weren't allowed to wear logoed uniforms, and Baez was previously literally naked in a major publication.

Were other teams that interested in Roederer? I haven't heard or read anything about other teams showing heavy interest in him. They might have had better scouting reports when he was healthy, but I'm pretty sure if the Cubs don't draft him he ends up going to UCLA. In a recent podcast, Longenhagen mentioned a scout for a team besides the Cubs whispered Benintendi comps. -
Could we hire Len as the hitting coach? He could just shout "hit some dingers, fellahs, OH BABY!" from the booth before each game starts, and I think the guys could take it from there, right?

True. Best case scenario is all Cub games have robot umps and all non-Cub games have Angel and West.
