  2. yes i too would be ok with adding yu darvish, manny machado, and christian yelich to the cubs
  3. [tweet] [/tweet] this was a camel's back i would not have figured could break if it hadn't by now
  4. eh i'd probably give up javy even as a rental because my god would that lineup be fun
  5. [tweet] [/tweet] maybe a thread title edit is in order since this is the first time i've seen the cubs tied (i could've missed something) to machado via sourced rumor rather than just internet speculation Levine was just on with bernstein and goff and threw out javy as a name he has heard rumors about being the ask.
  6. a couple of good mitch plays from the bears' propaganda dept https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tuxc3D2Mnjs
  7. Wut go enjoy watching your nerd crap, nerdlinger. just don't try to make me do it.
  8. the funny thing about all these robot references you guys make are that i don't even get 99% of them because i practically reject sci fi as an entire genre (with the lone exception of terminator 2)
  9. i keep wanting things to happen in this thread but instead that stupid star wars thread keeps moving
  10. jesus horsefeathering christ man never change, sir I was just rolling with the "NCCubFan bad pun" theme from the Yu Darvish thread i'm pretty sure someone has made that same joke on each page of this thread, including the one you posted it on
  11. jesus horsefeathering christ man never change, sir
  12. Yeah, if you look at MLB Trade Rumors, the Twins seem to want to make a move for him, but everyone else's pursuit is pretty lukewarm. There's enough teams out there that his market isn't going to fall to 3/60 or something silly like that, but there's probably a sweet spot of AAV and years that scares off most of those teams that are keeping tabs but is still a fair bit less than what Darvish was expected to get in September. If a majority of teams are lukewarm about the top pitcher on the market, what are we now looking at Arrieta getting and does a reunion become more possible? Not saying I want it, but wondering out loud. meh
  13. Thanks, cal, that's a good article. What struck me as most interesting was this part: Not sure how subtracting Dodgers and Yankees reduces it to Twins and Astros, but Sharma is smart and it's his job to think and analyze, so perhaps he's right. Beats me. Why not Cardinals or Giants, or Rangers or Rockies or DBacks or Red Sox or Washington or Angels or Seattle? Beats me, I don't know everybody's payrolls or team priorities.... But I'm hoping this is kinda correct, that for whatever confluence of circumstances, that Darvish's market just hasn't gone wild, and you've got a good shot to get a decent-value deal. I don't think that part is his opinion or analysis. The Astros and Twins are just the other teams rumored to be interested, IIRC.
  14. internet commenters never fail to frustrate the hell out of me https://www.instagram.com/p/Bc2__Dbh3O7/ so much dumb in these...it's like they don't actually read any of the content of the blog they're following. and there's a real "chocked in the playoffs" in there which is pretty sweet.
  15. There's no indication that his asking price has dropped. Actually since a lot of the top SP are still available may strengthen his case for more money. When one or two sign, then FAs start to worry and possibly settle for less. i don't disagree that his asking price hasn't necessarily dropped quite yet but...
  16. if it's a "lovie was much better than most give him credit for" take I'm on board.Lovie overplayed his power after the super bowl lost, never settled the qb position, rode the cover 2 past our ability to supply it with talent, and hasnt been able to repeat that success since he was fired. He was clearly the best coach we've had since Ditka/Ryan, but to long for the days of Lovie is just revisionist. Would I take him over Fox? yes. Would I bring him back? no. the defense was very good through the end of his tenure http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamdef2012
  17. Oh wait I guess that Gordon jersey may have come first
  18. Gordon was the first sports jersey I bought with my own money. Not my shrewdest buy, but I did get a few years out of it. Mine was Rex Grossman soooooo.......
