Buehrle>Wood

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 10:42 AM) Yeah, I wouldn't be too sure of that holding up down state. He seems okay with it. I think there would have been harsh words from both sides if this was going to court.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 10:33 AM) Weird, I saw a tweet saying that it was $12.85 million at about 830 AM CT today but ignored it because it looked like a fan account. The amount has been known for a few days

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 10:13 AM) Good Riddance. The report must be bad. Edit: Or not so bad (I see that the statement says the firing is "without cause"). Regardless of what their press report says, I think we can all assume it was the report that did him in. It's no coincidence they're releasing it today. They probably just agreed to pay his severance package rather than have another court case.

Beat me to the thread. A little late? At least it's done.

Did anyone else get the impression Shark hated the Cubs when he was there? I always did.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 08:40 PM) Every team except Reds, Braves, Cubs, and Royals? Brewers have Adam Lind. Phillies still paying lots to Howard.

How bout them Mizzou Tigers?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 05:48 PM) Because Kang was WAY underpriced because of the uncertiainty of how he would make it in MLB> Kang paved the way a little but there's still a massive uncertainty here too.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 05:21 PM) A couple baseball insiders have estimated his potential contract around 5/$40M on top of the $12M bid. Maybe they're a bit high (my guess is he'll get less than that), but we're looking at a lot more than $3M per year all-in. Kang got 2.5 for 4. I don't know why you'd offer him a lot more than that. If he asks for 40 million, tell him he can go back to Korea, lol.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 05:08 PM) Sign someone to big bucks and play them out of position? No thanks. I imagine hell make like 3 million. Not really big bucks. Obviously the posting fee adds a decent amount but it's still not really gonna be big bucks.

Meh. Greg is mostly right. Cespedes work ethic was always questioned in Oakland. His performance never really matched the talent til he neared free agency. Now that he'll be settled in for good I could definitely see him busting hard.

Yeah Goodell is pretty much powerless.

Meltzer says Mania plans got f***ed up. Plans were Brock/Rock, Seth/HHH, Roman/Dean. Face HHH/Seth would have been for the belt

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 07:53 PM) They're really short on top heels right now. Who could even be a transitional champ right now if you don't want to put it on Reigns? I guess Ambrose winning the tourney and Reigns turning on him would be a pretty fun story, doubt they do that though. Don't you dare be souuur...

Yeah giving the title to a face Reigns doesn't make sense right now. Only way to make him a compelling face is to have him chase the title, come up short a few times before going over at Mania. That seemed to be the plan. A heel turn would be good though. Maybe screwing over Ambrose en route to the title.

Title has been vacated.

Torn meniscus. Out 6-9 months.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 10:11 AM) How? House show https://twitter.com/thewadekeller/status/662051650090041345

Neither of the first two Craig Bonds did that number. Though the last one did nearly double it.

Early rumors Seth tore up his right knee :/

He's right

Can't believe they're releasing Starcraft 2 LotV on November 10th. Basically the 2 biggest pc releases of the year on the same day. Ugh.

I don't see how we could bring him back unless it's a 2 year deal.

But he is mostly right. It is stupid to do. Would be so much cleaner to just can Robin, but whatever. Parent was rumored to be fired because he was gunning for Robin's job and now we're setting ourselves to be in the exact same situation.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 11:13 AM) Mania tickets purchased. Section 240, row 5, whatever the hell that means. Jealous. If I can find someone who'd want to fly down with me I'm going to go for sure.
