Trolling haha

Well at least now we know what The Score's sources are... twitter.

It's better than the Cubs blogger or Bruce Levine who said in the same breath the Cubs were the lead team and no one knows what each others offers are.

That would be epic if Tanaka created a half hour show on ESPN to announce the decision. And during the show Paul Konerko and Michael Jordan woud pitch the White Sox, and then an immediate rebuttal pitch by Kerry Wood and Sammy Sosa. And then if Lebron came to The White sox we could rejoice!

 

He will add flair like a typical Japanese player however. "I literally decided getting up this morning.... then had to scratch my ass, bang my wife and took a shot of sake to really make the decision easier to take my talents to..."

Just want to put out a quick reminder...lets stick to Tanaka takl in here. Hopefully we are all excited soon!!!

Send him the photoshopped pic of him with a Sox hat on!

@MLBBruceLevine: Industry sources believe the Cubs will outbid the field on money and years. None of the clubs know other teams bids.

 

Lol, this is exactly why twitter is hilarious. The cubs will outbid the field without knowing what the field is bidding - industry sources

The Cubs offer was given to Tanaka as 1.05x, where x is the highest bid by the other teams.

This was also the Dodgers' formula. Now Tanaka is getting paid $infinity. By two clubs.

So the Score can't even get Tanaka's tweet right, unless Bernstein's source told them he made a decision.

 

Bernstein retweeted the hardballtimes article stating the mistranslation of the tweet so I'm guessing this is the score's info (yes I know your Bernstein sources line was a joke)

Dude, what part of "all tweets are newsworthy no matter what" don't you understand? I bet you're gonna complain about Sam Waterson's liveblog of the Golden Globes I'm about to post here, too. Welcome to the 21st century, man, this is modern media.

If that means turn her into an ice sculpture, the Sox are in good shape.

Something about that part of the earth being closer to the sun and the rotation of the earth being 1.254% faster near the Sea of Japan and how much healthier Japanese people are...

Well, the last part's easy - they don't eat red meat.

Kobe beef is pretty red meat

Why is MLB radio saying it's down to LA, Cubs, D-backs and Yankees?

If you're having heart problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but some beef ain't one.
