Dude, you are still defending this Loxas asshole. Stop. His track record is garbage.

 

BRUCE LEVINE HAS A BETTER TRACK RECORD.

Good grief what is with you today? FT35 simply said the tweet was mentioned on Waddle and Silvy, nothing more, no defending. Have a beer and lighten up.

Because honestly youre more likely to find the clue to Tanaka's signing in a My Little Pony episode than on twitter at this point.

 

This is not an American signing where a player/family slips, Tanaka is likely playing this extremely close to the vest so there is almost no chance of a direct leak. Anything you are seeing now is more likely subterfuge from the American clubs.

 

Lets be realistic, only Tanaka and his agent know until he makes a decision and he has very little incentive to let it be known he is down to 2 teams, unless he is trying to get more bidding.

Thanks bud, I'm glad someone understands I'm not trying to talk s**t. A beer or chill with Mr. Danks.

You forgot the part where I consulted my talking cats and got the real information. Youre just like the rest of the liberal media, cant admit that a talking cat may know more than you.

 

I truncated ;)

Okay you're right. Then we are better off blowing up this thread if no one can post speculation or pass information that is conjecture on people who are paid to do so. Open up a thread about my little pony, I'm sure that thread will also get to 120 pages. I just don't get why this board is turning in WSI and how people blow up posts about this topic. I'm fine not posting it anymore, I'm just saying it was never like this on this site.

Pretty sure Soxtalk rumors have made it onto Chicago Radio Shows too, and all we do is talk about My Little Ponies and penises, so there.

All I'm saying is that you are linking a guy who has a biased view who has a horses*** track record. You can continue to post him - I have absolutely problem with that. I'm just saying prepare have that source be lambasted. I put as much stock into what Tom Loxas is saying right now as I do what Soxbadger's cats are telling him.

 

If you post Levine, we are going to say the same thing. Frankly, I put a little more faith into MLBTR, but I still don't even believe that. It's interesting to read that these are what "people" and "industry sources" think, but then again, these "industry sources" also felt that the Giants, Red Sox, Rockies, Mets, Yankees, and White Sox were all at one point favorites for Jose Abreu. A lot of these guys know jacks***.

No problem dude, keep posting related material as it helps to keep myself and others on the topic at hand which is Tanaka. Maybe a combo of a chill with Mr.Danks washed down with a cold beer is the key, works for me when necessary.

 

What amazes me is there seems to be more complaining on the rumor sources than the other unrelated talk that I admittingly have been a part of. Makes no sense.

Now would be a great time for an update from bucket.

It's fact. We actually got into a bit of a feud with Joe Cowley at one point too.

His update is going to remain the same - anybody who says the Sox are longshots are mistaken. They are very much in this.

It would be but sadly he's not reading the thread

I saw where he said that before, but since then the Cubs/Yankees stuff really started flying so I was hoping he had something new.

I completely skipped over the latter half of the conjecture. Read the first sentence, saw it was Star Wars and Brony and Strawberry Shortcake talk and completely ignored it. It didn't even happen because I didn't immerse myself in it. Same as Ultimate Champion's horoscope or whatever and hi8is unicorn comments.

 

When a guy that has the obvious bias and track record of Loxas gets posted on here, I'm going to object and make my feelings known. If he turns out to be right, then I'll gladly eat my crow. I just don't buy his bulls***.

 

I'll take back my "don't post his stuff." If you want to, go ahead, but I think it's bulls*** and I think everyone on here does too, so what does it add in the end?

And got in Sports Illustrated!

And Cowley is no longer a columnist and has nothing to do with baseball.

 

Rongey used to post here as well.

Have you been threatened with suspension? Post deleted? banned?

 

No? Ok, then thank you. We are not turning to WSI

I don't think there will be any change.

 

The next meaningful update I think we will see is one from either Casey Close announcing "we're close" or it will be Tanaka landing stateside. I think where he lands will be the first indication we have. The only place he can land where we will know he is signing for sure is New York. If he lands in LA, I'd say 80/20 Dodgers. If he lands in Chicago, I'd say 50/50 either way (and if the Cubs really want to spend close to $25 mill a year over 7 years for him, then they can have him).

Please. This is not even close to WSI

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 03:57 PM)
I have to agree. A thread this size at WSI would have at least 5 people banned.

 

You are now banned for talking about people being banned

You're now banned for saying banned twice in a post.

Banned.

 

What about homophones? And homonyms? Like "Because the band wore bands on their wrists, they were banned."
