  1. Yeah, two stellar returns for young, team-controlled pitchers so far.
  2. My first reaction was "Oh, hey, there's the Theo I wanted." Same here.
  3. Boy, you showed him Mr Mod! well, moderator. we just say moderator. I cackled
  4. theo is going to hold out for his non-union mexican equivalent (senor kurodo) and pay him 900 dollars to pitch for us next season and give us -4.5 war while sneaking the payroll in just under 100M. That makes more sense
  5. If we sign him...I'll be kind of confused
  6. I know some Green Bayers who (more or less) proudly cite a statistic that shows like a two-fold increase in local domestic abuse cases after a Packers loss.
  7. I'm in. Is there any chance of getting Oddibe McDowell on the coaching staff? Both these posts are excellent
  8. Can I not hear the term "kiddie rape" ever, ever again?
  9. I'm brimming with anticipation to see how much they pay him. I'm hoping for 3/40 or thereabouts with an option to push it to 52. That would be sufficiently awful. EDIT: Looks like 3/33. Still pretty bad
  10. Holy crap. Trade Garza for a little less than that, please. Looks like Latos hits arby #1 in 2012 and again the next year. If they don't lock him up, he'll get expensive quickly. If we don't get either Prince or Darvish, Garza is absolutely getting traded this year if this is what these guys can command.
  11. If we don't go big then I want a fire sale. Pretty much. If we went the firesale route and got some exciting young talent in return, I could still have fun following the team even if we only win 65 games. If keep what we have, don't add any big names (MLB or MILB) and only add a few low priced vets...I'll lose a lot of faith in the direction of the front office. I wouldn't be too upset over not adding Darvish. My guess is as good as anyone's as to whether he'll be successful here or not, but I wouldn't want Theo and Co. investing $100+ MM on something that could turn out to be an unknown. At least we know what Fielder is capable of because he's been doing it at this level for several years. We just can't afford a risk like that right now. Almost the exact opposite is true, in my opinion. Darvish is hardly an unknown, for one. He doesn't have Dice-K's injury red flags (smaller guy, herky-jerky motion) and he's younger. I mean, I prefer what Darvish is likely to get over what Fielder will get despite the fact that the guy is a pitcher, and 5+ years for a pitcher is terrible, terrifying thing.
  12. I'm probably just grasping at straws here but who's to say that Boras didn't call them and they've been talking ever since? Remember, Epstein did go to law school and like most lawyers, he's likely a master when it comes to not divulging any information that he doesn't have to. "Initiated" is the key word there, I think. That's a pretty easy way for Sveum to downplay potential Cubs' interest in Prince without lying. Or he could just lie
  13. I'm pretty sure the "all players should know be good at bunting bc it sends a good message to the team" was worse than this. Followed closely by "don't dismiss this book that claims that birds getting hit by balls disproves sabermetrics"
  14. Really, really ok with the Big East being a little down this year. Marquette has its easiest schedule since the CUSA days.
  15. If you didn't call that person on his racism and tell him to go [expletive] himself, you have chosen poorly.
  16. NO. This is not even mildly correct. EDIT: Eh. That was kinda mean.
  17. http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tom_haverford_2039.jpg
  18. This is what I wish the Cubs would do with Castro That is an awesome, awesome contract.
  19. Epstein can stop being so cool anytime now
  20. They totally would not notice me in there. I could probably throw sexy parties for the louneg
