    we're not getting that draft pick. tt is right, dempster needs to hear the words "qualifying offer" over and over again and know that that offer is what he is going to get instead of a last, big, multi-year payday.

    saaaaaaaame. things are a lot more fun this year with him, not to mention how much more reasonably you can fit together a real team next year with him in the outfield instead of the dingus god of strikeouts.
  3. treebird
    how else is he supposed to book an off-season standup tour

    everyone calm down, here's the deal: f dempster
  5. treebird
    i think we've heard enough in regards to his willingness to be traded if it helps the cubs and his willingness to go to atlanta that i'll be right to be upset if he doesn't go.

    everyone chill out, here's the deal: if dempster rejects the trade, he sucks if dempster accepts the trade, hurray until then, everyone stop jumping to conclusions

    depends on whether or not the PLUS in turner plus turns into babe ruth and discovers proof that the tigers committed war crimes en route to winning the world series, thus invalidating their victory and leading to the execution of every person in the tigers organization

    I umpired LL when I was 18 for like 3 weeks and ended up quitting because both the coaches and parents were horrible. Hated it. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2 this should probably split into an "experience while coaching/umpiring" thread, but i had a really terrible experience coaching when i asked a pony league team "do you guys suck? i sure don't think so! why are we playing like this!?" you won't believe it, but only the first comment made its way back to the players' parents.

    it really boils down to what you think of the front office. if you trust them, you know that they aren't being offered quite enough yet and that the small chance of injury in this start is worth another five days of negotiating. if you aren't sure about them, you think that plenty is on the table already and they are making an egregious error for relatively little potential benefit. i trust them.

    Why are you thinking there won't be another Paul Maholm on the market this winter? We could probably use 2 Paul Maholms on next year's team. only if we're trying to win.

    it would be a pretty classic cubs move if we went out and got theo epstein and then someone murdered him 9 months later.
  14. treebird
    "listen, theo, we're ready to do what it takes to get this thing done today, we'll offer what it takes, just hear us out" "w/e bro, i have to go throw batting practice, try and catch me on an off day"

    if greinke wants to avoid the spotlight, he'll do well to take part in the cubs' 10-year rebuilding project. WIN FEW GAMES EARLY OR LATE FOR SOME GUY BORN IN 1998. seriously though, i thought that one posnanski article taught everyone that greinke's issues were way more complicated and interesting than "ack scary crowds." http://joeposnanski.blogspot.com/2010/12/being-there-with-greinke.html

    this is a mess, i say we tell the dbacks we will forfeit if we can say we lost 6-2 and tell the dodgers that bryan lahair hit two home runs

    28% chance of precipitation. That's poor, but not as bad as rain after they've said 0% Why would that be poor? Giving an event a 28% probability and being wrong? Of course it's a poor prediction that's not how probability works at all.

    DROP carl crawford (definitely oops mcgee) ADD colby rasmus
  19. treebird
    No, not at all. Just sucks to watch. I think people were expecting a big leap this year, and while there's still time, right now his OPS is 30 points below his rookie season. I feel pretty certain he'll bounce back and put up respectable numbers overall though. Why were people expecting a big leap this year without any kind of bad stretches? He's not inhuman. people can expect a big leap without also expecting him to avoid having bad stretches.

    Huh? He's doing a story on that subject and it will be on Baseball Prospectus tomorrow. you are probably right, but i honestly read this as though he was saying the prospects would be at batting practice tomorrow because the prospects are a couple bags of baseballs.
  21. treebird
    You might want to get that checked out. ehhh, i bet some imodium would clear it right up
  22. treebird
    this also fails to take into account that teams will call the cubs asking to trade for garza and the cubs will decline, but since they already have the other team on the phone, they will be able to trade them soriano

    http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/cubs/post/_/id/11536/rizzo-takes-blame-for-apparent-castro-gaffe we may be entering "if it seems to good to be true" territory with rizzo here. but i sure hope not.
  24. treebird
    these trade talks must have really heated up if the cubs are going to have to pretend dempster is hurt for a whole month
  25. treebird
    it's better this way, now if you can find his email address, you can tell him you would've been able to hit that guy and not feel like you're lying.
