Holy crap yes they can have Javy's understudy and fat Shane Spencer for Trout.
-
What would you say if they asked for 2 of Rizzo, Schwarber, Russell, And Bryant? Which two? Rizzo and Bryant are each worth more than half a Trout, Schwarber and Russell less.
-
An Angels fan I know said he wants them to look into it, maybe get two pieces like Soler and Baez. I told him immediately yes and no takebacks, so that's happening.

Other Games Week of 5/1
Hairyducked Idiot replied to CubInOK's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Grant Brisbee not writing for the Cubs is Theo and Tom's greatest failure. -
Only winning by two feels kinda empty. Dammit Grimm.
-
OK bring in the good pitchers.
-
Dammit bullpen.
-
I don't care about last year's Cubs. Last year's Cubs were a poopy garbage stinkteam. This team is at least 10 wins better, maybe 20.
-
Just double-checked. If only winning by 4 or more counted, the Cubs would be 16-11, looking to be 17-11 this game, and still in first place.

What does the "plexiglass" refer to again? He was down on the Cubs in the preseason based on the rather inelegant assumption that they'd be gotten by the "plexiglass effect," which is where a team that has a big change in wins one year tends to regress toward the mean in the next (i.e. going from 78 to 97 means they are due to drop off). Which would probably be true if they hadn't pillaged the rest of the division for all their good players in the offseason.

I don't even know how to wrap my head around how good this team is. Someone's got to be the best team in the league every year, but I can't remember a team being so much better than everyone else by so much. They could spot the other team 3.5 and still be over .500. And that's with two starters injured, a few guys in AAA who should probably see the majors later this year, and the pitching staff being managed to go easy on them.

Turn up the sliders.

Easy game, easy life

It's another name for marinara. Definitely an Italian term. As a [expletive] I've always called it sauce or gravy, we've never modified the term with a color. http://static.onemansblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/SNL-Celebrity-Jeopardy-Alex-Trebek.jpg What did I just say about racial slurs?
-
I have never heard of "red gravy."
-
how far is the center field scoreboard? It's not two feet behind him in Ross's glove.
-
That didn't happen
-
If an umpire says "that's enough" and you say anything, you're getting tossed every time.
-
They get theirs in the NLCS.
-
I'm not gonna be sucked into Dusty Baker rage. The Cubs are awesome and he doesn't matter.

General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread
Hairyducked Idiot replied to David's topic in General Baseball Talk
It is professional athletics. I assume a large percentage of every team is using. I just have no sympathy for anyone using the cheap stuff they actually test for and getting caught. -
At what point do we talk about 116 wins as a thing that could happen? It's already coming up here and there.
-
And 55% to make the NLCS.
-
Fangraphs now projects the Cubs to win 100 games. It's May 6 and that's the median projection.
