Jerksticks

It’s fun being a Dreamnik with Yoan. It’s just such an easy path to 5-6 WAR for him.

I don’t think it has to be snarky. Some fans on here have lived through decades of just a handful of playoff appearances. Maybe they want the longest possible championship window open.

Fans can’t root long term? Only here and now like dogs chasing something shiny?

What’s cool is that no greater collection of talent will probably ever be traded than the Sale trade. Top pitcher in the league, friendliest contract ever. I can’t imagine a scenario where more value exists in a tradeable asset. So Moncada, Kopech, Basabe & Díaz is the most a team will ever get for anybody I guess

Man this looks like such a good trade.

Why is Derek Holland blazing 94 mph fastballs with sick offapeed pitches against the flubs? I don’t remember 94 last year. Am i just getting too old

Ever watch a Maxine Waters, elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders speak man? Just a few examples, but that’s some scary ass shit right there. That is the opposite of human progress right? Like a person can’t listen to that stuff and think this is good. Or that democratic socialist that won. Holy crap that is scary stuff. One only has to examine the simplest of economics to realize how stupid that is, and how that would brutally hurt 100s of millions of people. But people support it over some social issues that get better every year

I like that they aren’t giving up on him. This is his rookie year basically

Well yea he gets the guarantee of getting traded to a contender mid season instead of having to roll the dice. Like Balta said, that would probably take more than $25M. Or do a handshake deal saying we’ll overpay him the next year with Arenado.

I got you down for being in here before his dirty past was created out of thin air.

Si si. I meant the classic overpay for 1 year move we’ve been proposing on here for a decade.

Not a fan of these words. I like signing Keuchel no matter what and signing Kimbrel to 1yr/25mil. Trade him next deadline paying full contract and grabbing one last major haul of prospects. Then sign Arenado and start winning.

This actually is an issue all jokes aside

I agree with this. I don’t even know that Harper and Machado are good fits here. Arenado on the other hand is just perfect. Give him $70M a year ffs

Should say how many Touchdowns Trubisky will throw...just sayin, but cmon, new sheriff in town.

This is definitely replacement level posting.

And Q has been a disappointment for the cubs this year for sure. I think it’s due to a secret love Q has for the Sox so he’s stinking on purpose.

Can we all try to say Jed instead of Theo since he is the GM. I hate the amount of credit smug Theo gets. Makes me wanna ?

I disagree. I think those issues are pretty settled. Roe v Wade isn’t Going anywhere, even if there were 9 conservative judges. I’d bet everything I own on that. There really aren’t social issues to get mad about or fight for any more. Gays have all the rights, women are thriving, everyone has the same right no matter who they are. I’d look into incarceration of non violent offenders as one of the last things worth protesting or being an activist about. Just nothing worth being mad about anymore. Progressive isn’t needed anymore, we made it.

Show some respect and leeway to our greatest elder. It’s that simple.

Where do you go to get highlights of MiLB? Are there certain people to follow on Twitter?

I think the 1 game bonanzee is awesome but the only thing I would change is giving 3-4 days or so of rest before it starts so each team can put its best team out there that night. Then maybe the next day the winner has to fly to the divisional champ to play, thus not getting to use their premier pitching that they gassed on the wild card game. Divisional champs still get the advantage and also 4-5 days to rest.

POTY candidate man!

Why did we ever start putting limits on immigration in the first place? Which congress did it and why?

I’m against all of this but I’m also super pissed at the parents- they are not victims here at all but the kids are. The parents aren’t some war-torn refugees. They are trying to game the system the same way millions of others have: cross illegallywith kid, claim asylum, and then never show up to court. That’s been the way in for quite a while. So acting like they’ve made this million mile trek through the desert dodging land mines and accidentally crossed an invisible border illegally is complete bullshit. These aren’t victims. They don’t need asylum and they are more than likely using their kids or somebody’s kids as props to get released, since that’s been the word on the street for a long time. Shame on Trump and shame on these parents for putting kids in harm’s way. Go to the ports of entry and claim your “asylum”.
