  1. friarhood Friarhood Hoyer lovers... brace yourselves. 1 minute ago Favorite Retweet Reply
  2. @thekapman is the easiest troll on the internets.
  3. kevin goldstein is going to be on kaplan's show tonight. [expletive] is going to be everywhere, hovering in the ether of air borne audio waves
  4. you're doing it wrong.
  5. cherrington and friedman might be good, but epstein is for the children. i want you to know this is odb and i love you all. peace
  6. dearest hollandsworth's mug, listen, pal. nothing against you personally. i don't even mind your posts, necessarily, though the only ones that i remember are the ones where you post twitter @s like two pages too late. my suggestion is to just stop doing that. it's cool. just wanted to holler at you rull quick best, shilzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
  7. absolutely. & if it weren't so, no one would post. it's just that after so long, once the speculation has even grown weary with mounting ghosts of reports mirroring each other in the dark, [expletive] gets old, is all. i'll still read it all, continuing to refresh after every beautiful roberto bolano chapter of the savage detectives. :blush:
  8. I don't care about being right. I just know that if Theo would require giving up our best prospects, I have absolutely no problem with keeping our prospects and going for Rickett's 2nd choice. The choice isn't between Theo and anarchy. wait, what? i was not referring to anyone in particular, otherwise i would have quoted you. i am just as guilty in this thread (as well as everywhere else). and where did the epstein/anarchy bridge get created? there are no fewer than five GMs other than epstein (some moreso, even) that would do just as good of a job (and will not require compensation), something that i now trust the cubs owner to not only recognize, but have the determination for future successes to not compromise the ball club one way or the other. and while ricketts may seem schmuckish in going full fledge towards that red sox model he always has spoken of, i don't think of it as a homerish pursuit by any stretch, meaning that while boston fans may think they have all leverage of getting players awesome and sweet with cash money, they are only somewhat right. epstein is the guy ricketts wants. but he's not going to turn the gun on himself over it. wish red sox fans could imagine the actual amount of leverage they have in these negotiations as follows: ricketts allowed jim hendry and mike quade to run this organization while it was floundering and fans were not coming to the park nearly as much as had been the case, knowing that he didn't understand his new found ownership, and working with the wisdom to come to grips with growing pains with a certainty that it would lead to, ultimately, a relatively, vastly increased revenue streaming business. that ricketts has gone so far in his tenure without immediate reactionary responses to the heartstrings of not only fans, but himself as a fan and business owner (as he lost money and, at first, credit) should go to show that his plan is structured enough that ricketts does not merely have epstein as the only objective and that the fans reaction, in the short term at least, is of little concern, comparatively. all that said, boston is going to get something. probably something worth their while, in spite of the atrocious media bufferings.
  9. thread is such inane opinion fodder it is maddening. it's exactly the same for cubs and sox fans. everyone believes they are correct and can ascertain rational as to why, or else they wouldn't feel that way. news or wu-tang or nothing!
  10. i read that quote when it was first pasted several pages back, but looking again it is really stupid. it seems to suggest that because stats were mentioned at all that epstein must like pena. that pena gets on base fits a 'general mold.' the learning curve for cubs beat writers is going to be the hardest thing to deal with in this town.
  11. A medical staffer? C'mon Theo! WTH?!?! you must not have been paying much attention to some of epstein's market inefficiency beliefs mentioned in this thread.
  12. wu tang forever. rzarector in your sector. assassination vaccination poor education enphatuation with satan more global taxation fibro optic microscopic biological germ mad cow burglar on the market the captain of your starship, i never departed once i started to explore regions that were uncharted leave your heart broken yo i stand tall like buildings
  13. yup. i said it before, and i'll say it again: life moves pretty fast. if you don't stop and look around every once in a while, you miss it. six [expletive] devils stepped up, being brave, god; had the [expletive] nerve to try to enter my graveyard. i'm the rzarector, bring you back to life, be my sacrifice, commit suicide and i'll bring you back to life. the first was convinced, stuck a water hose in his mouth at full blast so his head could explode. second one said "hmmm... that's good but i can top it" put an axe up to his head, and then he chopped it. blood shot out in every direction. the rest didn't know what to do. i made suggestions: put a slug in your mug, overdose on a drug, wet your hand stick a knife in a plug. or be like richard prior: set your balls on fire; better yet -- go hang yourself with some barbed wire. 3 or 4 fell deep into the spell, then ran to the zoo, locked themselves in the lion's den. number 5 said "it ain't worth being alive!," smoked a joint with dust mixed with cyanide. the only one who escaped was number six. he went home, sat in the tub, and slit his wrists. yeah. more graves to dig, goodbye. there's no need to cry. it's a suicide. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjKQc-UyL6w&feature=player_embedded
  14. TOMMY ain't my mister falcon' BOY When he fake moves on a person you employ Well I'll EMIRGE off ya set, now ya know God damn I show LIVIN LARGE homies how to flip a DEF JAM And RUFF up the mister falcon HOUSE Cause I smother you COLD CHILLIN' mister falcons are still WARNER BROTHERS I'm RUTHLESS my clan don't have to act wild That poop is JIVE, an old SLEEPING BAG/PROFILE This soft comedian rap poop ain't the rough witty On the reel to reel it wasn't from a TUFF CITY people be game, thinking that they lyrical surgeons They know their microphones are VIRGINS And if you ain't boned a mic you couldn't hurt a bee That's like going to Venus driving a MERCURY The CAPITOL of this rugged slang, is WU-TANG Witty Unpredictable Talent And Natural Game
  15. really? Candelerio is nothing more than a maybe top 20? everything i've read makes him seem like really a top 5 talent in a down system.
  16. i am going to agree with dextermorgan on law. i'll take a guy who can draft and develop four or five brett jacksons, or maybe better versions of him like, say, ellsbury, (not to mention every other position on the baseball field) than one brett jackson. also, nsbb has blown the pierre/sczuczr way out of proportion. i mean it's obviously an overtly uneducated opinion, but, really, sczusczzzz is a fringe guy on any team's farm system not belonging to the team of the fan himself. the power thing is glaring, but pierre was also a productive major league baseball player, which is more than most fringe prospects become.
  17. curses and records. give up the negativity, dummy
  18. could my optimism get much higher?
  19. HE'S JUST A CHI TOWN THEO WITH A NICE FLOW And Starlin, in that new V V, follow So many hits he answered the prayers of ron santo
  20. i fantasized about theo in chicago mercy mercy me, ricketts went gonzo that's wrigley the first year that they go how you say rings in spanish? me no hablo (yet)
  21. He didn't say anything about compensation. Just that they didn't want a lame duck. word yeah thanks for posting the actual tweets. i'm bad at the internets some
  22. B&B said sherman tweeted theo was gone after next year anyhow, so boston wanted to get some compensation since they wanted to keep him but weren't going to be able to
  23. yearly success on a high level no matter difficulty of competition with a team which is balanced between home grown talent and outside acquisitions brought in through either a well handled budget or use of major market status to overhype prospects for effect. that model.
