  1. 4 years and $100 million, even? I mean, ya gotta think about it. North of? Eh...
  2. The guy on the far left looks like he's going to reengage an argument about traffic laws he and the photographer had weeks ago as soon as the picture is taken.
  3. "Livin' in a valley of flames, like, 'I win.' Skyline ablaze in a Bob Ross pic." - El-P
  4. If getting Bregman is only 3/75 then you have to think hard about it, right?
  5. Why would you sign the short contract when you give up so much (draft picks etc) for just one year?
  6. Love Alcantara, would love him more if he didn't do that awful 'jaguar dainty claw' on his homerun trot. I hope he and Cassie survive the offseason as Cubs.
  7. Tom Ricketts looks like if mouth Aids were given a child' molester's haircut and an ill-fitted suit. That's the nicest thing I can say about Tom 'trying to break even' with the Cubs.
  8. He's a perfectly adequate 5th OF. He can play CF and has some pop in his bat at league minimum. What more could you (not you, CubinNY) want?
  9. Of the prospect lists which tend to be the most respected? Or which has the highest correlation between rankings and MLB success? A ranking to war/yr maybe? I can't find that such a thing exists, but it should.
  10. Fair. I was conflating Hope with Ferris for whatever reason. Yeah, that is pretty flukey you are absolutely correct. Thanks for your thoughtful reply. If they extend Tucker I'll be less cranky. Edit: Opening day of Cubs convention is his birthday. Seems a little obvious to announce an extension then, I know, but I'd let it slide.
  11. So Jed traded away what would have been our top two prospects within 12 months for a 2-3 war 1b and one year of Tucker? Am I getting this right?
  12. I enjoy TomtheBombadil's posts. So you can't say 'no one.'
  13. It's like Jed took that old Method Man line to heart, "If you can't get yourself a 10. The least you can do is horsefeathers five 2's."
  14. Wrote the original post as a joke, guess the only joke was the Cubs organization. Things that make me sad with their consistency. Bringing the hot girl home from the club, only to haggle over cab fare, go home and jerk off to frugality. The horsefeathers.
  15. Odds on Jed taking Tucker to arb?
  16. Had season tickets to the Tigers for his first few seasons (was living in Ann Arbor) and he is easily the best pitcher I've ever seen. Homey was pumping 100+, easily, in the 8th and 9th innings. Like watching a varsity pitcher mow down a coed gym class of slightly autistic octogenarians. (side note, on his off days, he was fun to watch fight with Granderson as they shagged fly balls in CF. They went after it hard, JV leaping on Grandy's back at one point to try and catch a fly ball before he could and they both toppled laughing. Hadn't ever see professional athletes have so damn much fun. Really easy guy to root for, same for Granderson.)
  17. Not with that attitude!
  18. Gotta have something to look forward to
  19. Blueprint for an 83 win team.
  20. Of course it does! Just wait for the trickle down!
  21. Who would a good comp be for a package? And I really don't know anything about him besides looking at his fan graphs page and he's a one year rental.
