Superstar Lamar

I need something stronger. Anyone got some spare heroin laying around?

Nope. I'm going to try to buy a ticket next to you

I know it would not be rational to boo Alonso and Jay all season but I'm not feeling very rational right now.

equally weird that the story was being broke by a high school kid

Amen!

Only thing Peggy has broke in her professional career is some camera lenses

This is his con men are so successful: people want to believe

I was t saying it as a put down. It’s legitimately a high school kid as the source material

Rumor is by some high school kid. Wtf is wrong with people

my guess is that a contract value of $250 million would not make the top ten list of values Reinsdorf has negotiated in his professional life.

There was no way JR was going to let Boras take negotiations down the path he has seen Boras take with so many other owners in the past. I think he saw Boras as a worthy adversary and relished this opportunity. It isn't surprising the Harper negotiations are at a stalemate.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I am sure I saw a report at least a month ago and maybe longer that Reinsdorf would be leading all negotiations on these players. I think it was in reference to Harper at the time. JR gets off on negotiating. He always has. He does with the Bulls as well. This is probably his last best chance to sink his teeth into something substantive

didn't he also either create or re popularize deferred money contracts in baseball?

Fair, like when he tried to negotiate deals with Horace Grant and Scottie Pippen outside the presence of their agents He is shrewd.

What did A Rod do when he was presented with the same situation? He took the money. Hopefully he does give Machado advice

A threat is only a threat if the other side believes you will act upon it. Unlike Joe Ricketts, Rahm's momma didn't raise no fools.

any word from Wellington on this. He was supposed to be a close friend of Machado's as well and the Sox made curious moves at catcher all off season but kept him around.

I'm shocked to see Royce Clayton appear on only two ballots. That guy was a shit to the core. 1. Royce Clayton 2. Nick Swisher 3. Jose Canseco 4. Albert Belle 5. Jamie Navarro

I get along well with my brother he n laws but if i were in my 20s with unlimited income and alone in a fun city, I wouldn’t be looking to hang out with them

Every city looks great when you have $400 million in your pocket

They will look like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman when she goes out shopping on her own

listeners are not quite as lucky

Joe Maddon sits across town having to endure a lame duck year after being to the playoffs four years in a row and winning a world series but Ricky gets the comfort of an extension? Strange world. I doubt there was anyone beating down the door to get him if he didn't have an extension. Maybe they think it gives them an advantage in FA to let a player know there is a consistency in management

I don't care a fig if they win a single game the rest of the year except for the three against the cubs

I fear that when he returns he will regress in his control, which really was the key factor in him transforming into a great prospect
