nvm, Cubs suck and the sky is falling and stuff

I feel much better about the Cubs' future now that something named Matt Clark has given us the lead. :D

The chart isn't hard to read, his narrative/tweet on it was a little weird I think its wrong, too. Bryant didnt start any games at 1B or CF, let alone multiple at each, did he? I know he was subbed into CF a few times, but not started.

I want them to miss the playoffs by one game, losing game 162 in the most heartbreaking way possible Screw that, I want them too lose 100. They won't, but I want them to lose as much as possible. If they lose 100, theyll wind up drafting 3 or 4 kris bryants in the same draft. Best to have them win about 85 games.

Somebody please tell me 'mineaswell' is a cute inside joke and not an actual attempt to communicate in English.

Side question: Why has Adam Eaton not been considered a top 100 prospect? Off the field issue. He spends most of his time eaton.

Do you post stuff like this just to prove that it is possible to have the most stupid comment in every thread?

Really? I wouldn't have even called this one the biggest fleecing in recent memory if it had happened. What i found funny is that it was posted by a guy named Rizzo Smash. Anyway, the deadline for his option is at 11 EST, so we should know soon, right?

Quick, think up a list of reasons why we shouldn't sign him that doesn't include the word Atlanta.

What's your favorite Keith Moreland quote? "That's what it is. You do it, you pick it, and you come on the run."

If we can do it without giving up Castro or Samardzija, then I really don't see why not.

i would really love it if they moved the Daytona team to Modesto or Stockton. Also all on board with moving to kane county, but I guess that's kind of hard to disagree with.

lol Jackson has a homer and 3 strikeouts. This is funny, a double header with a one...two now...page game thread =D>

*Meatball fans* CAUSE HE BROUGHT DAT GREEK ORTHODOX PRIEST TO BLESS THE DUGOUT BEFORE THE PLAYOFFS STARTED...RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE I don't think that's meatballish. I would have fired his ass for that just for thinking up the idea. That's a dumb reason to fire somebody. You'd make a horrible boss. I disagree. He brought dumb religious superstition into my stadium, played directly into the "lovable loser" and "cursed" BS while we were trying to win a world series, and made our entire franchise look stupid in the process. If I didn't fire him, at the very least he would have received a swift kick in the sack.

Really, so a package centered around Bradley was offered from Arizona, you would say no simply because he is a little ways away? Garza isn't anywhere close to the stud this board has made him out to be at times. To land Bradley would be a coup. Slightly better Randy Wells imo

We just wanted to prove that its OK to trade for an injured pitcher.

PSD forum says its the Mets, possibly for Thole. I'm disappointed by how much quicker that board is than this one.

Your guess is super stupid. didn't you just learn about sarcasm a couple days ago in this same thread? I don't remember posting in this thread for quite a while, actually, so I don't think so. It was Kyle, I was just assuming he was being stupid again.

Your guess is super stupid.

Wow, dude. That is mind numbingly stupid.

Yes, I know that, and what I'm saying is that the discussion in the other threads should have been directed to the thread about the competitive lottery. The competitive lottery is not a random baseball musing, nor is it the 2013 draft. Yes, they are intertwined, but they are not the same thing. I admit that this case is minor, but it just happens to be the one I decided to comment on. If I really wanted to I could go find a more bothersome case of topic merging. I never said that poster discipline isn't done out of public eye, nor did I assume that because a topic was locked that no other discipline was done. I just said that locking the topic was stupid.

Mmmkay. I'd be surprised if we locked more than a thread a week, and that's being generous. But it's also not really relevant to the thread. I'm guessing he posted here because you locked the other lottery thread. How dare all competitive lottery/June 2013 draft conversation be in one thread? Yeah, that's why I put it here. It's not like there's a "discuss how lock happy NSBB is" thread, and I wasn't about to make one. I probably have the least posts of any poster who has been active since 2003, I come here for baseball news and Cubs news, not particularly to post, and considering the lack of activity on this board since the Cubs started sucking, I imagine I'm not the only one that primarily just reads. As a poster who is really only here for news, when I came to NSBB to look for news on the the competitive lottery, I was expecting a thread on it. You know, because the competitive lottery and the June 2013 draft are two different things that happen almost a year apart. If the board were very active, I could understand it a little more, but the last thread on page one of the general baseball discussions board was last posted in on June 5th. We are not drowning in threads here. The thread wasn't hurting anything. On the other hand, the locking on that thread isn't what actually bothers me. Its when people start being mean to each other so you lock the thread instead of just punishing the individual posters, completely blocking any possible further discussion about that topic. Merging multiple semi-related topics into one thread is a minor annoyance, but that is seriously [expletive] stupid. There have been several times in the past few months that I have wanted to comment on a thread only to find that it had been locked because people were bickering back and forth. And that's coming from somebody who barely posts, so if it happens to me I'm sure it happens to others as well. Anyway, I've been here for 9 years, and 9 years from today I'll still be here, so it's not like it's a huge concern. It's just kinda silly in my opinion.

Have I ever mentioned how overly lock happy this board is?

And it seemed like such a solid theory, too. (it didn't)
