I think the running definition for years has been where the players get together to artificially manipulate the situation to create these teams. Such as demanding trades only to one team. Setting up free agency to where players take haircuts on max deals to make sure their buddies can sign at the same time. Forcing a release so they can take another deal with the team they want to be on. GMs trading for players on the open market isn't really something that falls under that IMO. For example, it is one thing to say the Bulls traded for Rodman. But Dennis Rodman didn't go to Spurs management and TELL them that he HAS to get traded, and he will ONLY accept a deal to the Bulls. It is another thing for James Harden or Anthony Davis to force a trade and say they will ONLY play for certain teams. At least that is how I have always seen it.

JI JIM THOME!

Unfortunately they also only hear what they want to hear.

Are you still going? Does this fall under your 18 hours of work, or under your research quota? Or are you to busy to respond again?

OMG no, podcasts? Oh no, it is over. I mean I said I was quitting six other times, but THIS TIME I REALLY MEAN IT!

Shhh...

It was a comment in line with all of your ridiculous claims. The need to try to pad your statements over and over again with all of these ridiculous resume building type statements make them completely unbelievable, which is exactly what I was mocking. You didn't just work, you WORKED 18 HOURS A DAY. You didn't just research bitcoin, you RESEARCHED IT EVERY DAY, If you can't see that, you need to read your responses as someone other than yourself. I never made fun of your wife, I made fun of your Trump-esque claims that have to accompany every single post. As you KEEP responding while still missing the point and not living up to your own statements, over and over again.

Look man. I have no idea who you are, or what you are so hung up on, but let me say this much, I never made fun of your wife. I mocked you and your ridiculous claims that you kept making. Go back and read it again. The other one that is even more hilarious is that you literally talked about taking a victory lap in your post today. This is all about padding your fragile ego. I have no idea why you keep putting this much into it, yet keep talking about how unimportant it is, all about talking about lies while just blatantly making stuff up to create a strawman to yell at. If you REALLY want to move on, then do it. Or just keep yelling at windmills. It's all up to you.

It has more to do with the color barrier getting broken in baseball in 1947 and the flood of talent moving to MLB. Stats won't tell the whole story there. AAA stats don't collapse because the good players get called up.

So you literally say at one point my whole outlook is macro. long term. who cares what happens on a month to month basis. hell even on a year to year basis. but here you are talking about nine months of gains for your grand "victory lap". As to the rest of it, if you don't want to see it, you never will see it. That's fine. You STILL want to make assumptions instead of actually listening, I can't obviously stop you from still doing it. I have zero interest in entertaining your assumptions, feelings, and rantings on a blow by blow basis as it is a complete waste of time, and you obviously aren't willing to stand up in the same way you are demanding of others. You can keep holding on to it and coming back as often as you need to feel sorry for yourself. As always do as I say, not as I do.

I am 100% ok with a low return for absorbing the contract. What I don't want is a huge return so the Cubs carry a portion of the deal.

Exactly. Until they get punished for it, it doesn't matter.

It ends when there is a punishment for doing so at the ballot box.

Good lord. So trying to be a dick about posts from nine months ago because you caught hurt feelings isn't being a complete dick of a poster. Got it. But NOW after you get those feelings out you are ready to have a civil conversation, apparently as long as I don't tell you where you are wrong, because that was literally all I did in this conversation. This is in a thread where you are running around calling people sheeple and clueless, and blather on about having bridges to sell people as you wrongly guess someone's age based on our wrong assumptions.. Or did you not go back and look at those posts again? Did you ever ASK what my outlook on bitcoin was, or did you label me "in your mind bitcoin is a made up internet coin destined to fail. a ponzi scheme." without knowing that I had my miner running for four months at the point you were making stuff up about me. Here is the newsflash. None of what I said was wrong. When you were trying to pretend that bitcoin was the only option out there, all of those things that I quoted had actually happened at that moment. It HAD led the losses. Its losses HAD outpaced the dollar, the stock market AND gold. It isn't my fault that truth cause you to be pissed off for the better part of a year. That is all 100% true. None of that also contained a prediction for the future. You see that right?

Now granted after you started making assumptions and treating people as if they were stupid, you are absolutely right I took to mocking you. Here is the newsflash. None of what I said was wrong. When you were trying to pretend that bitcoin was the only option out there, all of those things that I quoted had actually happened at that moment. It HAD led the losses. Its losses HAD outpaced the dollar, the stock market AND gold. It isn't my fault that truth cause you to be pissed off for the better part of a year. That is all 100% true. None of that also contained a prediction for the future. You see that right? Or did you just project your feelings here again into what everyone else was discussing? Now if you really want to get some advice try this on for size Talk less... smile more. Listen to what people are ACTUALLY saying, instead of applying your assumptions and biases to them. You will find a whole lot more people will take you seriously and engage with you on an intellectual level when you treat them with the respect that you are demanding.

It isn't even real as it relates to deaths. Only care. https://www.khou.com/article/news/verify/verify-hospital-labeling-deaths-as-covid-19-to-get-more-money-false/285-59d9c90f-ddb9-4dba-bcb1-b90d7324ab75

This is the exact kind of deal I would like to see when I say the Sox have some room for some MiLB signings with major league dollars attached and an invite to spring training. Keeps the roster slots, but allows you to bring a potential arm to the deal.

It is a medicare only thing. You have to understand how medicare billing works versus how typically billing works.

I wasn't negative on bitcoin, I was negative on the idea that it was a better investment than the US stock market. There is a gigantic difference there, hopefully you understand that. I sure as hell didn't sell my stocks to do this, especially if you look at the RoR on stocks.. but for some reason you didn't quote that part.

I can even accept a bit of caution when you say the window is open, because you want the window to be open for a long period of time. The problem is you also have the organization talking about the goal being a World Series this year, but they sure aren't willing to spend like it is the case.

This reply is worth way more.

Its been a nice ride so far. I put a miner on my new PC when I bought it last year just before Black Friday. This latest run puts me up to like $800 in net value so far.

This is probably the most accurate thing you have ever posted at Soxtalk.
