  1. it's a fine move but I'm already anticipating the extension being used as a reason for light spending again next offseason. a "we already completed a big chunk of our offseason when we signed kyle in march" quote seems very likely in about 7 months
  2. Depends on how much he wants. the implication here is that the cubs are so poor, they can't even afford a 46 year old former catcher (who wasn't even good when he was young). it's just a really solid joke
  3. This didn't impact next winter at all. deGrom didn't, sure, but if this is the new trend, we aren't going to see a ton of big name FA's most years spot on, derwood
  4. chip caray looks like he just auditioned for a coen brothers movie (40 seconds in)
  5. the cardinals have been a shiteshow the last 2 years and somehow they like already caught back up to us
  6. this eloy thing made me read some baseball stuff from randos on twitter and man i hate baseball
  7. They should, idk if they will. He’s not making a ton more when he hits FA at 30 in all likelihood and can lock in a solid amount and take any risk out of the equation. there’s been some quiet buzz that he’s upset about the russell stuff and we know he’s upset about the way the front office abused the system in calling him up. maybe he values getting away from an organization he doesn’t like. where is this from?
  8. why is lauri imploding
  9. you absolutely started that story so you could eventually say you had a girlfriend
  10. that moment when your top free agent signings get hurt in spring training and you realize it makes no difference at all
  11. is lauri hurt or something
  12. that picture doesn't really go with the joke
  13. i know he's rich and everything, but it's gotta be a weird/terrible feeling knowing that people will hate you if your arm breaks again, and ultimately there's nothing you can do to prevent it. i'd be freaking out every time my arm felt a little tiny bit sore. if you have even a tiny bit of something like ocd on top of it, that seems like it would be a nightmare.
  14. I dont even dislike lebron, I just hate the Lakers and i cant help but take some joy in how that whole thing is going. like I dont blame him for being satisfied with his career and wanting to go to LA for his family and his career after basketball, but it is so clear that hes not fully invested in winning there, and that is going to continue pissing off lakers fans to no end.
  15. lebron passed michael on the scoring list and the crowd in LA gave him a half assed ovation for like 15 seconds it was so oddly depressing
  16. i love lavine. i'm glad they matched
  17. everybody must get dead
  18. he was horsefeathering gift wrapped to us
  19. i remember getting into a huge argument with you about soriano batting 1st. i don't even remember what side i was on, but i'm guessing i said him hitting leadoff was fine. i thought that too, but for dumb reasons. i thought that because he had better numbers in the leadoff spot (in a pointlessly small amount of PA), that meant he was actually a better hitter in that spot going forward
  20. zero shots for lauri in 3 OTs
  21. this thread reminds me of the time i made an ass out of myself here by insisting that backloading contracts is inherently bad
  22. we'll all be dead by then, who cares
  23. my disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
  24. it's amazing how quickly this organization became complete trash
