    Pie, Patterson, Gallagher and the 2005 draft on the front page. It really hurts.

    Living in St. Louis I can attest that Provel cheese tastes like garbage and BO.

    There will be a day that I relive those games. This is not that day.

    Can we stop calling Zastryzny, "Z"? It brings up memories of the hopes I had for Julio Zuleta.

    I'm always glad to see hoops post here... Yeah it's only been a decade since he had a scoop which was probably a blind lucky guess I wonder why he left... :roll:

    If it meant going big on years and money? No, I don't think they would. They'd draw a line in the sand on what they thought such a player was worth and get outbid. Depends on age too. Not happening with a 30+ year old.

    I would agree since all along Theo has indicated that he intends to growi talent on the farm and then keepi them as long as they provide value for their contracts. Agree or disagree with the theory, it is clearly the theory they are operating under.

    Which is wiped out by arb raises. BR has an estimated 70.5M committed for 2015, though this would include Shark's Arb 3 estimate. So with 25M to play with, SP and OF being the only overwhelming needs, and the pathetic rumored returns for Samardzija, yes, I'd extend Shark Eh, I don't think Samardzija is actually going to be all that good for the next few years, and with it being so obvious that Tanaka was going to be a one off, I could go either way here. He's there's to use for the next two years anyway. I see very little value in extending him, unless you think you will need to extend him to convince others to come here. But I just don't see other players viewing Samardzija as that type of player. I think unless you can get a ML ready sp for him, you ride it out with Shark. Keep pushing for an extension on your terms. And remind him how difficult it is to be a free agent pitcher with a qualifying offer around your neck. In the meantime, build the team to the point that he sees a winner and stays when the time comes. Be willing to make the QO and take the comp. if he improves, you get your ml ready sp, if he fades, he signs a cheaper extension. The way the system works now, the team can just wait it out.

    Not to be a dick, but that perspective is pointless. No use comparing guys on the open market to a guy locking in early with his team. Haha don't see how that's dickish. Also, didn't realize we could say "dick" here. You haven't always been able to. I thank former coach Dick Pole for the change.

    Just take it with a shot of vodka. Or to bring us back to the topic, Sake.

    Yeah, it's wonderful. I took some on an international flight and was out before they were serving dinner. Worked like a charm. Just so you guys know its the same active ingredient as Benadryl, just marketed as a sleep aid and priced 10x higher. I'm well aware. Walgreens sells something called "Sleep 2" which is the same thing in pill form. but benadryl doesn't have the alcohol.

    I don't think that's true at all. Major changes off the top of my head Out or significantly lost talent: Soto, Castro, Garza, Dempster, Marshall In or significantly gained talent: Jackson, Rizzo, Schierholtz, Castillo, Samardzija Pretty close to a wash, imo. Could make a case either way. Ramirez? Soriano? Wells? This is the roster that finished 2011. You can't tell me in any universe that this current team is better than that one. Cheaper? Yes. Younger? Yes. Better? Hell no. . It's been a long 2 years.
