  2. Until it comes out that he's retaining the services of a known vile spousal abuser and creating a partnership with one of the biggest threats to our democracy, he's a horsefeathering saint to me. https://apnews.com/33669ecef55d816961175641f2358613 https://www.nytimes.com/1996/11/20/sports/belle-signs-the-richest-deal-5-years-55-million.html https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/07/white-sox-acquire-brett-myers.html https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/White-Sox-Reach-Deal-for-Carl-Everett-10550197.php
  3. Brandon hates the Simpsons and posts Friends GIFs how do you spot out a sociopath for 1000
  4. Were the 2009-15 Blackhawks a dynasty? Nope. And it always annoyed me that people tried to claim it. Anytime we have a perfectly good word for describing something, fans have to stretch it because they really want their favorite to qualify. And then the stretch gets stretched. And then the stretched stretch gets stretched. Next thing you know, you get something blithering like the Cubs winning two division titles and having two split wild cards being put up as a possible dynasty. Dynasty was coined to describe things like UCLA basketball under Wooden or the post WWII Yankees. I’m willing to allow for a little bit of a stretch to something like 3 straight titles or 4 in 5 years, but even that is starting to water it down quite a bit. Sharp-Toews-Hossa Teuvo-Anisimov-Kane Dano-Shaw-Panarin Versteeg/Bickell-Kruger-Nordstrom/Hartman/Morin That would be one of the best set of centers we've iced on opening night in the dynasty era. http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=64050&p=3233281&hilit=dynasty#p3233281

  6. MLB Network also had Yadier Molina as their #2 catcher in all of baseball, so let's not get too wrapped up in their hot takes It's based on PECOTA, not their hot takes. Apparently he didn't read the last few pages and you didn't read that post, lol.
  7. well, he probably didn't have a script, but he was definitely coached and given some talking points. he sounded like he was a robot reading a script the whole time, but, as others have mentioned, he kinda always sounds like that. it's also entirely possible he looked directly at the reporter he was answering when giving these canned responses.
  8. Its not a bad general rule, but I'd call the 1 championship 90s Braves a dynasty. i'll allow it with all those division titles, but i'd prefer to go with "run" to describe that one
  9. championships it's all luck but it still comes down to championships for that word to be invoked. more than one. probably more than 2. the 90s yankees and the 2010s giants.

  11. Russell sounds like he's reading the answers to every one of these questions like a robot, but he's directly answering questions from the reporters. He must've been coached on answers to almost anything he could possibly be asked. I understand that he's nervous but this is weird as hell.

  13. If they're ever up a ton in Cincinnati I would pay good money for Javy to come up and bat lefty. oh my god what i wouldn't give to hear thom call that
  14. I know Baez and Lester are for sure there, I am not entirely sure if the others are there but I feel like I did see Zobrist in some pics. Also: [tweet] [/tweet]

  16. What’s the difference? One is a distributor and one is a cable provider? that's one of many, yes.
  17. go back about 7 or 8 years and imagine this being said
  18. A few years ago, for the record, means 12. That was the 2007 team.
  19. The Dodgers situation is completely different from what this is.
  20. 2009 was kinda like that too It definitely has that feel, like things are on the downslope. 84 wins. To be clear, I do not agree with this
  21. 2009 was kinda like that too
  22. Bryce Harper is our opening day right fielder
  23. not to be all "look at me and how i don't look at triple crown stats at all" in 2019, but i had no idea this was even a thing
  24. not surprising but i think goony is not going to be happy with this year's tv schedule [tweet] [/tweet]
  25. who knows...carriage fees (and who is paying them) are still TBD as far as we know but at this year's convention, theo did say something to the effect that the first couple of years while they get going they probably won't see a big influx as compared to the last few years. hopefully that's wrong.
