    gould and eovaldi for dempster and lahair? where do i sign? i understand that the dodgers have the great james loney at first and have inexplicably started him for several years in a row, but i'd imagine lahair is an upgrade. although i think loney has pictures of someone.
  2. Magnetic Curses
    again, max contract guys that are worth having are not going to be coming to the midwest. they go west, east, or south.
  3. Magnetic Curses
    maybe they're just conceding that they'll never ever be able to lure a star free agent to the rust belt (as it's never happened before) so they're loading up on what they do well.
  4. Magnetic Curses
    maybe they're planning on trading noah. just trying to figure out why they'd do it.
  5. Magnetic Curses
    this is like the time that chief wiggum got his tie stuck in the hot dog roller.
  6. Magnetic Curses
    So agree on Michael Schur. Hey, it's pretty tough being a fan of THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS, THE BOSTON CELTICS AND THE BOSTON RED SOX. That's at least 6 championships since a team I care about won a championship - 14 years ago. don't forget the boston bruins won the cup.

    ryan braun is in a new commercial for kwik trip and he couldn't look like more of a douche.
  8. Magnetic Curses
    we're going to get 50 walks from our whole infield combined ostensibly, rizzo by himself will get more than that.
  9. Magnetic Curses
    if we trade barney, valbuena sliding over to second and vitters playing third next year wouldn't be too bad.
  10. Magnetic Curses
    don't blame spending big on free agents for the cubs' woes, that is a luxury that many teams wish they had, and it will one day make us a very good team.
  11. Magnetic Curses
    oh, ok, you said "or" so i thought you meant one of them. and i think any deal with vancouver would be contingent upon them taking back crawford. which wouldn't be so bad for them, even though he's not a good everyday starter, he's experienced enough to step in and can get hot from time to time. i have no idea what it would take to get luongo, but like has been said, we'd be bailing them out so i don't think it would have to be a lot.
  12. Magnetic Curses
    Wouldn't you prefer they take back Crawford? Otherwise Chicago is back to being stuck with a ridiculous cap hit of $8.0m on goalies. I think the key is getting them to take back some cap crap like Crawford, Montador or Frolik. doesn't he suggest frolik? i would prefer that they take back crawford, definitely, though.
  13. Magnetic Curses
    and that certainly is a huge sample size
  14. Magnetic Curses
    what did he suggest? sorry, i meant biitner
  15. Magnetic Curses
    i don't think they'll get a ton of value for him and now they're pretty much locked-in to trading him. vancouver hates us so i doubt that they'd deal him here, but that would be excellent if we could get him for what flames suggested.
  16. Magnetic Curses
    BUT HE FLOPS AROUND IN THE PLAYOFFS AND TIM THOMAS IS IN HIS HOUSE EATING BREAKFAST EVEN THOUGH HE NEVER INVITED HIM
  17. Magnetic Curses
    i'd prefer sanchez to liriano.
  18. Magnetic Curses
    i love you like cooled magma
  19. Magnetic Curses
    platonic
  20. Magnetic Curses
    how has this hairlip been shutting us down?
  21. Magnetic Curses
    I don't think Theo is ready to spend big this offseason, so that eliminates Hamels. and yet theo knows that he has no passable arms and the only way he's going to get them is if he signs them in free agency. signing hamels and/or greinke in the offseason is the best bet to be ready for contention in a year or two. pass on either of them and you're going to have to deplete the farm to do that. you're acting as if they're looking for one-year deals.
  22. Magnetic Curses
    i don't see the logic. again, this is a guy that got four playoff shutouts in 2011 alone. you're relying a whole lot on an intangible and bordering on superstition. i want no part of crawford going into the season as our starter.
  23. Magnetic Curses
    Haha, right. How is his playoff track record not relevant? And aside from all that, THE CONTRACT! There's no way we can do that. so the fact that he is a very good goaltender isn't relevant either?
  24. Magnetic Curses
    history indicates that he's an elite goaltender that posted his best season at at the age of 31, a year in which he also posted 4 playoff shutouts.
  25. Magnetic Curses
    i think it's like many sports in which good players are more likely to be good and bad players are more likely to be bad.
