  1. Cleveland Major League Team would be perfect.
  2. So of all of the things that people have held grudges for over decades of this ownership group, the one that could actually endanger people's lives is the one who should get over it. All of the hours spent b****ing in game threads about plays that didn't get made doesn't affect the quality of the board, but god forbid people are upset about hiring a two time felon hypocritical racist to run this team, and those are the people should get over it. Fuck that. It's bullshit.
  3. Why are you so anxious to feed from the BS trough in this? This isn't going away, even after the is settled.
  4. Mitch is much better in up tempo, don't know why it took so long to try it outside of the 2 minute drill, but nice to see it.
  5. Ok everyone, you heard 1917, vacate this thread. He has spoken.
  6. It's not about a political position. It is about the topic at hand. What has the GOP done to tell you they would accept any kind of a gun compromise at all?
  7. Yes, because the GOP is perfectly willing to adopt a compromise position on gun rights.
  8. It is interesting to know that the Senate actually expelled members who supported the Confederacy, even if they were in states that didn't leave the union, because of their support of the illegitimate and treasonous government of the Confederacy. https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/expulsion_cases/CivilWar_Expulsion.htm
  9. Is bringing back McCann worth not bringing in another pitcher? Because that's what we are talking about.
  10. Those numbers are really low. Take a guy like Kris Bryant. His arb 3 number was 18.6, not 10.5. If you want a pitcher comp, these are Trevor Bauers 3 arb years. While Giolito would give up something in an extension, he isn't giving up THAT much. There is $37 million in just those three years. 6/10/15 is more realistic with FAs in the low to mid 20's. There is zero chance that having reached his arb years. Giolito is going to take less than 2/3 of what he could get going year to year. You are probably more in the 80% range to make it work.
  11. This is quite literally the GOP right now.
  12. Your numbers are pretty light. Even without any experience they have Luis Robert $15 million for what would have been his final arb year. Then $19 million for his first free agent year, with his experience level? Can't see it. Yoans deal is for $25 million that year. Even Robert has options for $20 million for his free agent years with zero experience. If you push years 3/4/5 up to more realistic levels, then you get to that range we are talking about. Keep in mind the free agent market is over $30 million per year for guys like Giolito. GIving up maybe $5 million is one thing, but over $10 million? Can't see it.
  13. On the one hand a trusted insider is telling us that more is coming, but on the other Jack heard an interview on talk radio, and is telling us it is over. What to believe...
  14. No way. We still talk about the Election of 1800 and 1876. 2000 is definitely talked about as well. This is one for the history books.
