  1. i will have a gif of len playing the drums on in the air tonight please
  2. Who moves in with a chick at 18-19? Albert Almora. well, yeah, you lock that down
  3. i think sulley is going too far with this and i absolutely would not have traded castro for hamels, but a lot of people are underrating the value in knowing that you'll get a guy rather than just having a chance to bid on him. it's all well and good to say oh just go sign lester, but a bunch of teams are saying that. we'll have the money to make whatever offer we like for lester, but that's far from a guarantee that we'll get him. even offering the most money (which is something that would honestly surprise me) is no guarantee. lots of teams have lots of money and every team wants great starting pitchers.
  4. pretty much just arias going straight to the major leagues and being good
  5. He was spacing off in LA when Schierholtz threw that runner out at first too. I hate always comparing the two, but the pass he gets is kinda funny when his SS would be getting crucified right now for doing something similar. yup, he does stuff like this somewhat frequently and never gets called out. even len and jd, whom i love, completely brush this stuff off with rizzo while taking time to note every little thing about castro. last week jd was all over castro about not getting as big of a secondary lead as he might. that's fine, but rizzo just made a mistake that extended an inning so the other team could take the lead!
  6. rizzo is so lucky he's a big goofy white lunk
  7. watching clips of guys like jody davis from the 80s is so weird. i don't understand how he hit even one home run with a stupid swing like that.
  8. yeah, i think it will be much better for everyone's mental health is we just focus on maeda as target number one. that's what i'm going to do.
  9. "javier baez gets tom ricketts an actual tv contract" could totally be the next mspaint
  10. LOVE LOVE LOVE (even though 1-2 of those things are not like the others)
  11. sounds like my ex-wife
  12. coghlan is a nothing and we should not care about him. that said, if and when we decide russell is the best ss in the organization, i really do believe castro will have more value to other teams than he does to us.
  13. BandMLTICST doesn't quite have the same ring to it... BandPTRshootsthegamesonhisiphoneandwillfacetimethemtoyoutwentydollars
  14. five nl players are ops'ing over .900. selig should force the cubs to bring up soler and bryant today in the interest of increasing league-wide offense.
  15. rusin's sideburns are a crime against humanity
  16. you'd think one of these hard hit balls would be at someone eventually
  17. say what links are, i can't be clicking things i don't want to read
  18. But we would've. Is that an actual rumor that the Cubs liked him? It's arguello, but yeah. I choose to believe it since that's depressing. http://www.chicagonow.com/cubs-den/2014/05/a-brief-history-of-the-cubs-and-the-mlb-draft-3-stories-on-how-fate-affected-the-cubs-pick/ Last year, someone besides Arguello suggested the Cubs really liked Trout on draft day (can't find the link now). He would have fit Wilken's style too. and then after two years of people screaming at him from the dugout to swing the bat and not look at so many pitches he'd be broken like everyone else we drafted. let's all be thankful for the greatness of 2008 and not read into anything else.

  20. castro and rizzo both have the same little notches cut into their hair.
  21. batflip baez is going to be my favorite nickname ever
