  1. Was wondering what you'd do with Almora now gone. Sadly, I'm still searching.
  2. ^^ Pry my Underwood hope from my dying hands. Also, doesn't Dillon horsefeathering Maples still exist on the 40?
  3. Ownership is saving on baseball ops expenses, so that has me super pumped, being the fan of financial statements that I am.
  4. "Nostalgia" as a concept has essentially been destroyed for me over the past few years. I just hope Jake performs well enough to net us an upside A ball arm at the deadline.
  5. The problem is the whole NL Central is a dumpster fire, regardless of this move. It’s a race to 85 wins +/-. The 2005 Padres won the west at 82-80, and that appears to be the lowest wins for a division winner ever in a 162 game season after a quick google search, the NL central may challenge that this year. Ownership nut huggers will be pitching tents when the Cubs win the division going 80-82. “Look how economically they created a division winner!”
  6. Get a commish who actually likes baseball and go from there. horsefeathers Manfred.
  7. [tweet] [/tweet]
  8. "He didn't know" wouldn't make me feel better about this, or him. People in his position "don't know" stuff only if they don't care to, IME.
  9. "Flags fly forever!" is gonna give Cubs ownership tons of leeway to do whatever the horsefeathers they want, if my friends who utter the phrase are any indication.
  10. Well, the good news for the Ricketts is that they can compete for the business of that swastika tattoo Cardinals fan. Capitalism baby!
  11. The GM Ricketts deserves.
  12. Jed was lying about the Darvish deal not being financially-motivated, but he's totes telling the truth about Willy not being shopped. 'K
  13. Jed for lame duck WH Press Sec the next 3 weeks.
  14. If it's any consolation, they'll probably move the newly acquired prospects for bullpen arms anyway.
  15. Based on what other fans are saying, seems like a "fair" return, but not the "make 'em hurt" kind of return I was hoping for. Oh well. Good luck Yu.
  16. Make Preller severely overpay. Take on Myers;' contract to max the return because no way Ricketts would use Darvish savings on anything cool/fun anyway. Also, horsefeathers Ricketts.
  17. Ian traded away for a 27 yr old bullpen arm in AA ball is HAPPening!
  18. [tweet] [/tweet]
  19. Why is this in Transactions? Oh, and thanks Theo, for bringing us a World Series. Now we can go back to sucking and the old timers can have their "nothing is better than the good ol' days" pacifier. Win win.
  20. I'm convinced dude doesn't even like baseball.
  21. I definitely can see it. Keuchel, Grandal and Abreu are all a year older, still a ton of young and unproven/unknown pitching (which can go a lot of ways but has kinda busted so far). Then a guy like Anderson probably regresses since it’s hard to run BABIPS at the levels he has in 19 and 20 repeatedly (high .300 BABIPS are tough with his swing and miss profile and good but not like Ichiro/Juan Pierre speed, even like a .320 BABIP and his numbers aren’t special). So will be interesting how much LaRussa gets blamed for that vs it being just some natural correction. Hopefully all of it horsefeathers him
  22. Do you say Latinx when all of those referred to identify as Latino? Top notch concern trolling. Top notch.
