    “In person, you don’t look like a guy I only have to throw with 60% effort to get out.” Speaking of in-person, Heyward is the most physically imposing human I've ever seen. He made guys like Rizzo, Bryant and Schwarbs look puny in comparison

    Yusei Kikuchi And I say, "Kikachi" :D

    Except those first six days. Opening day starter will go on regular rest in his second start. Might be nice throw Monty a bone and let him start there. It's Monday morning so excuse me if I am reading that wrong. Are you suggesting that Montgomery be the Opening Day starter? In place of the opening day starter's second start on day 6

    This feels...obnoxious

    COULD YOU MAKE IT BIGGER THOUGH

    3 for Hendricks and Contreras seems bearish to me. Willy breaks out for 5 this year.

    I don't think he's going to get seven years so much as I think there's no way in hell he only gets four, short of an undisclosed injury. The top guys almost always get their money in the end. Chris Davis, Max Scherzer, Justin Upton (2 winters ago) all got theirs, and I know it was a while back at this point but Prince Fielder got his too. I can't remember a top guy ever really falling short of expectations, even when they've gone past MLK day without signing. Yoenis Cespedes is probably the closest. Last year he was supposed to get around 5/125 last winter and signed for 4/110. Although he signed that deal fairly early, he wasn't waiting around for two months, so it's possible that he just liked shorter term/higher AAV. IT makes a little more sense for a position player, and as a team that is not at all concerned about the luxury tax it worked out well for the Mets too. There's a lot of smoke coming out of Darvish's camp right now. My guess is that it's more about them trying to wrap things up rather than that them being desperate. I wouldn't be surprised if he has his 6/150 offer in hand, and his agents are basically doing a lap around the league once more to make sure they're not leaving any money on the table. From who?

    He's going get a ton more playing time with the DBacks, no? Yeah, this feels like a gentlemen's agreement to me. I'll bet we would have gladly offered that money but were open about our ability to give him playing time and respected his wishes to go elsewhere for more

    Well one is literally a racial slur so, while certainly insensitive, I'm not sure Illini and Blackhawks belong in the same sentence chief illiniwek (the actual mascot guy, that is - i just realized you meant the character/logo) is/was definitely a goofy caricature of native americans. the blackhawks logo/name seems far less disrespectful than the other teams mentioned, but what do i know. My alma mater, Marquette, changed their mascot name from the Warriors in the early 90s. I had to hear from sanctimonious Illini how offensive our mascot USED to be while they patted themselves on the back for the respectful portrait of native americans that their mascot represented. While he does a horsefeathering shuck and jive on the 50 yard line

    Well one is literally a racial slur so, while certainly insensitive, I'm not sure Illini and Blackhawks belong in the same sentence well, right. even taking the redskins out of the conversation, it seems like the blackhawks are one of the few organizations with a native american related name that hasn't received a ton of criticism. Brandon's post is one of the few times i've even seen them brought up. but i don't follow hockey a ton, so maybe it's there and i just haven't seen it. I kinda think there just isn't much pressure/outcry to change your mildly offensive name/mascot when the horsefeathering Redskins still exist.
  11. javy knows my name
    This is PERFECT
  12. javy knows my name
    i feel like the blackhawks backlash has been pretty quiet compared to the Redskins, Indians, Chief Illiniwek etc. is there a reason for that? other than hockey just not being as popular as the other sports? or is there pushback that i just haven't seen? Well one is literally a racial slur so, while certainly insensitive, I'm not sure Illini and Blackhawks belong in the same sentence
  13. javy knows my name
    Since this should have happened 20 years ago I give no one credit for anything
  14. javy knows my name
    REAL TALK my gf posted this on my phone while i was in the bathroom but also i agree with it The exclamation points were suspect. The rest was straight tree.

    Raisin's graph came from a really good article that was posted a few days ago. Derwood should read it. https://deadspin.com/the-mlbpa-is-failing-its-players-1822305159

    Holy horsefeathers, there's a guy from Kirkwood Community College in IC?? Bob and Bobson, go see him
  17. javy knows my name
    This thread title seriously did not get enough props. I know we've come to expect it from jersey, but come on
  18. javy knows my name
    yes. It's kind of embarrassing. I don't usually go with this media member hates my favorite team take, but he sure seems to dislike the Cubs for some reason. I haven't noticed that with him. He's just the guy who tweets a minor scoop and then covers his ass completely before the 140 characters are up

    Cubs Sign Mike Freeman, Kyle Ryan To Minor League Deals, so no wonder the odds improved. Signing Freeman probably killed all of the Machado trade rumors too. =D> http://frontburner.dmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/16.-Trying-to-enjoy-a-show-after-eating-a-ton-of-food1.gif

    Shocking, given username. i mean we've got dudes named after starlin castro on here, and a guy with a jen-ho tseng avatar so (holy crap bill hall hit 35 horsefeathering home runs one year) ***D.A.V.I.D FAULTY MEMORY CARD***
  21. javy knows my name
    Haha this time a post of mine got everyone here in trouble and not just me What's all this now
  22. javy knows my name
    It's a non-issue if it means Boone won't be there to mansplain Jess Mendoza
  23. javy knows my name
    EVERYONE I've talked to in the real world believes these things are mutually exclusive
  24. javy knows my name
    Is there something to be said for the Brewers trying to keep Darvish from signing with the Cubs for any kind of reasonable contract? ...there is not!
  25. javy knows my name
    Should've been in binary
