    I'm only quoting this so we can all enjoy the beauty more He looks glorious.
  2. The_Achiever
    Yeah the brewers had so much more winning to fall back on, even before the 2016 WS.
  3. The_Achiever
    That's this close to Theo drunknely raving about how he can't believe how little they have to pay Quintana. yeah i'm sure jose loves hearing about how the cubs were just able to give a top 20 pitcher $126 million because he's a top 20 pitcher on a $26 million contract. Theo is the greatest and everyone knows this. But this seemed like tooting his own horn a little too much. Maybe a preemptive thought against the backlash that might come if Eloy is good enough.

    Maybe an incentive to keep him from opting out? Any way you slice this I love this deal though.
  5. The_Achiever
    But will it have mitt-popping potential?
  6. The_Achiever
    That is some mental gymnastiness right there. So having cost-controlled pitchers which allows you to go out an spend for position players is "mitt-popping," but if you have cost-controlled position players and spend on SPs in the free market, you are banking on past performances?!? http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2013/03/does-not-get-it.gif The whole thing reeked of envy masked as sanctimony.

    Seeing on twitter that there is an opt out? If so I'm cool with that.
  8. The_Achiever
    Hell yeah, love what they have done this offseason. Good luck to Jake.
  9. The_Achiever
    Highly lame.
  10. The_Achiever
    Seeing all those crooked numbers is honestly porn to me. With no championship hangover (and hopefully one more starter) this team is gonna be a monster.

    Like this move a lot. Asik has two years left on his deal, but the Bulls can pay it. Losing Niko will just help the tanking efforts and I'm not sold on New Orleans being all that good the rest of the season.

    I think the dissonance will be David Ortiz going in first-ballot despite having actually failed a drug test Yeah, Ortiz being the catalyst for the Boston team that broke the curse seems to give him immunity from everything. He was a huge winer and a boorish crybaby. Bonds was 10x the player Ortiz was and has, at worst, the same level of PED smoke around him. As an aside I wonder what current Cubs will eventually make the HOF. Bryant looks like a lock, and I think Willy has potential there too. There should also be a room dedicated to nothing but showing Javy highlights 24/7. Nobody does baseball better.

    Izzo deserves the chair. I've long time hated that disingenuous douchebag.
  14. The_Achiever
    Initially I thought that said "tail lights ready" as in the Cubs were now about to be behind them. I fully endorse all NL Central teams trash talking the Cubs this offseason.
  15. The_Achiever
    Oh snappity snap.
  16. The_Achiever
    Is Lebron congratulating his younger self for making the 30K club? What a mess that team is. If I'm Kevin Love I wouldn't suit up for them again. He gets blamed for everything. He's got a ring, I'd definitely be trying to force my way out of town.
  17. The_Achiever
    I have watched the 10th inning a few times this offseason.
  18. The_Achiever
    A girl I was friends with in high school married that cardinals blogger mentioned above. It has taken a lot of restraint not to mock her and him in her facebook posts. I actually like her a lot and wouldn't do that, but it does bother me she married a huge cardinals homer/shill. He's also an Iowa fan, which is doubly bad in my eyes.
  19. The_Achiever
    Rizzo, KB, Willy, Schwarbs. I actually voted 3 so the poll is now wrong.
  20. The_Achiever
    I hate GARPAX as much as anyone but this Bulls team is fun as hell to watch. I can't believe I'm saying that; and they could actually get better when Levine suits up!
  21. The_Achiever
    I've always wonderered how he's felt about his deal turning out super-team friendly, but if there's any bitterness he seems to be hiding it well. But might also be why he seems unable to say no sponsoring things. (Not that there's anything wrong with that, and I know he gave Lurie $3.5 million just this year too)
  22. The_Achiever
    Feels like a great trade for the Cardinals. Alcantara figures to be a reliever, no? Was hoping they'd have to give up one their young starters.
  23. The_Achiever
    Looks exactly the same to me.
  24. The_Achiever
    I don't want the cardinals to get either but I bet both of those guys would bounce after one year. Machado especially.
  25. The_Achiever
    If I was a ball player, I'd avoid a town where people draw swastikas on each other for fun. Until something drastically changes, they only way they'll get any decent FA is by overpaying like they did for Fowler. And even then it'll be an uphill battle.
