  1. QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 30, 2017 -> 01:36 PM) OPS back over .800. wRC+ 127. The pitchers have now forgotten that they figured Jose out. That's so impressive for a first baseman who can't field his position
  2. QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 05:05 PM) Yeah Robles isn't happening. Never say never
  3. It would have to be an Addison Russell type deal. Robertson + Miguel gonzalez + for him honestly. I'd love to get Robles.
  4. I'm watching the barons gameday right now. I dont know if the the pitch location they show on there is inaccurate, or if the ump is bad, or maybe both. It looks like Cooper is absolutely painting the corners, but they're getting called balls.
  5. QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 26, 2017 -> 03:12 PM) They should offer a place on the form for people to increase their own tax rate if they're not fans of the plan. I'm sure there will be a lot of a dissenters and the government should make it possible for them to be taxed 50%, 60%, 80% or whatever it is they wish the system would tax individuals. That way everyone is happy. Are you trolling? It doesn't take a genius to see how stupid this argument is. I don't even....
  6. QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 26, 2017 -> 02:47 PM) The proposed tax plan also doubles the standard deduction (making a couple's first 24K in earnings tax free) and eliminating most itemized deductions which are typically utilized by the wealthy. Also gets rid of the 3.8% Obamacare tax and the estate tax so family's will no longer be robbed by the government for the familial earnings when there's a death in the family. I'll wait to see the actual plan before making my judgement on it but from what's leaked it looks to be good for the economy. If you like environments where businesses are more likely to thrive, grow and hire, you'll like the plan. If you like the government and would prefer they take more hard earned money from Americans to use inefficiently, this plan probably isn't for you. How are we going to pay for the massive military increase and the trillion dollar infrastructure plan?
  7. QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 22, 2017 -> 11:58 AM) Jesus, to the DATE! Great pull, haha. Wow that's pretty crazy lol. But yes, I have been saying it since last year. People tore into me for saying it, but it turns out I was right. Jose isn't the same as he was. The league has adjusted to him, and his age has something to do with it in sure. The dude just has no pop in his bat anymore. Huge disappointment. Reminds me of gordo's great start and disappointing finish.
  8. I forgot if you don't worship Abreu around here, you're a troll
  9. Basabes stats are looking nice so far. I'm high on him.
  10. What's up with this guy having absolutely horrendous starts to the season? His numbers are DFA worthy. He's already worth -0.6 WAR! Just awful. Maybe they shouldn't play him until June. Is it safe to say he's been figured out?
  11. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/very-early-...-in-increments/ Steverson fixed Donaldson and made him an MVP. I'd bet the house he did the same with Avi. He made him harness his elite athleticism. I'd say lock up Steverson for 5-6 mil a year.
  12. QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 15, 2017 -> 06:31 PM) Not a bad post even though you called me Forrest Gump basically as he was a simpleton. Amen, brother. Though I don't know if we're better every single year. I love Alpha Dog even though I think he may hate me. Alpha Dog rocks. Haha that's pretty funny. Haven't you described yourself as something along the lines of "a low IQ person"? I'm pretty sure ive seen you post that about yourself. I suppose Forrest Gump isn't a bad comparison. He was a well accomplished man ya know, Greg.
  13. QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 15, 2017 -> 02:32 PM) I'm not a Trumper but I don't think you want to hear why I despise Hillary. People claim they are tired of my repeating myself in my disdain for her. I don't think many people adore Hillary. But you are more of a simpleton, self admitted. You have admitted to not know the most about politics. Things are explained to you often but to know avail. You are easily swayed by propaganda that plays on your emotions. That is a big reason you feel why you do about her, realistically.
  14. QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 08:52 PM) I do not accept your condemnation. Hillary Clinton will never be President. Did Hillary kick your dog or bang your girlfriend or something? I don't quite get why a lot of Trumpers think Hillary is the worst thing in the world, but Trump is alright. Dude is more evil than she is IMO. Has given a f*** about himself and his family, and only himself and his family (with the exception of the wives he cheats on) his whole life. I think it has to do with her being a woman honestly. I don't think all of them, and people like you, consciously dislike her because she is a woman. It's more of a subconscious thing. If Trump was a female and had 3 kids with 3 different guys, game over. If he was a female and said as much stupid s*** as he does, he would probably be deemed a bimbo like Palin.
  15. QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 08:46 PM) Because I bask in the glow of knowing that Hillary Clinton will never be President. Come on, everybody say it. it has a nice ring to it. Hillary Clinton will NEVER BE PRESIDENT. Frankly, i just don't give a s*** other than that. That's pretty pathetic, honestly
  16. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 12:14 AM) Rios 21, Dunn 22, Nate Jones 23, Melky 24 Greg actually has Rios at 15 in his top 20 most evil humans list, one step above Gacy who comes in at number 16
  17. Some of you need a sense of humor. Sad lol
  18. QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 5, 2017 -> 03:51 PM) Thank god. I've heard enough on the Russia stuff since Trump's been elected. Interesting. I guess you have never heard of trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort. Might want to do some research on that.
  19. QUOTE (jamesdiego @ Mar 26, 2017 -> 11:38 PM) I think his nickname is HoT FiRe It was only a matter of time
  20. Anybody have any good nicknames for the young stud yet?
  21. QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 25, 2017 -> 12:18 AM) I disagree with almost everything written in this thread by posters so I will refrain from commenting unless you really wanna hear my opinion. I'll spare you of it since I disagree with almost all posts nowadays during the alleged rebuild. You must have confused this for the recent hawk thread. Don't worry, nobody is talking ill about Lord emperor hawk harrelson in this thread.
  22. QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 24, 2016 -> 11:33 PM) Who's this rookie ball first baseman with no speed that you speak of? Keon Barnum
  23. QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 09:47 AM) yeah, been gone for a while, but if I would have remembered, would have had to make it half green. You know there are people out there trying to find a way... Looks more like you're trying to create an issue out of nothing so you can get mad about itm. Go back to watching Fox news. I'm sure they found a teacher in bumf*** who wants to get rid of a christmas tree. You can get mad about that war on christmas atrocity
  24. QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 11:53 PM) What the f*** is up with this millennial new age term: "bae"? It's awful, but using the term increases the chances of getting laid. There's really no choice
  25. Did Lester have an issue signing with the rebuilding cubs? For a mega contract, Machado to would come here to be the Lester of our white sox imo. 9 years 270m, possibly frontloaded. Sox will have so much payroll.
