For some unknown reason, a man who wears tee shirts with pockets to work has been awarded a new 3 year deal. Tune in today to hear Dan and Terry congratulate him, then ask him if he could fit into that rollercoaster in TX where the lady fell out. Also, be sure to listen closely for them ask the fatguy is he's ok with Dan paying more in taxes because he needs a giant ambulance and a huge MRI machine for when he suffer a medical condition from being hilariously fat!

Also: Bears talk, Cubs are on the right track, Sox farm system sucks, and DRose had someone take his SATs for him. Oh, and don't forget a persistent rapping at someone's back door {ding}

Who is the team that has done it dan's way? The Rays? How many champioships have they won? He acts as if Theo is building a garden that will yield a 90 win team each season. It's crazy. Terry knows it but he's too dumb to articulate it. I give him credit for trying though.

terry said a couple weeks ago that the rays have been a better franchise than the cardinals over the last several years.... i've yet to figure that one out.

This is exactly what I meant in the other threads. Bernsie has Theo's cock so far down his throat he is blinded to any team doing anything a different way.

from the guy who says championships are all that matter if hes citing the Rays he should just turn of his mike and hang up on himself. Thats beyond stupid, even for him.

Don't forget that if Theo's garden doesn't produce it is because of the changes in the CBA, so it really won't be his fault.

Then will Dan blame Ricketts for splurging on an executive who was known to have flourished because they could draft and sign amateurs that poorer teams could not, and because his roster players were on steroids? But how can we blame a guy who stood next to a lectern?

Is that a bad thing?

Which of our four half-assed-rebuilding teams is Dan talking about?

_________________

No. That comes too close to laying some blame on Theo. We know Danny won't do that.

_________________

I know Dan is generally an asshat to callers, but has his fuse to SCREAM AT CALLERS gotten a LOT shorter, lately? The last guy asking about Selig's violating whatever code it is they think ARod violated ... well, let's just say that escalated rather quickly.

Also, do you think there will ever be a day when Dan breaks bad on Terry? It's gotta be incredibly frustrating to listen to Terry blindly agree to stuff, then have zero details to backup his agreement, then listen to Terry stutter and stammer until Dan puts words in his mouth for him. A-HA, that's what it is, Dan is screaming at callers in lieu of screaming at Terry! I done figured it out.

So Bernstine is having a screaming fit because Selig may use 12.B to ban ARod?

Give me a break. What Selig did as an owner to collude, and Selig's 12.B use as the permanent commissioner, are two separate things. So what Joe Sheehan is crying over 1994 that is long over. What Selig did may have been worse for baseball than ARod's PED usage, but that doesn't mean that Selig shouldn't use 12.B to ban ARod.

1994 sucked for the game but that doesn't mean Selig should likewise fail now because of past transgressions.

If bernstein wanted to be a lawyer, he should have gone to law school. His authoritative statements are completely unfounded. I have no idea what would happen if the issue of A-Rod's contract came before a judge, but for dan to suggest that a contract must specifically address potential suspensions is just wrong. There are specific performance issues and possibly "unclean hands". Get that in front of a chancery judge and who knows what might be decided. It's certainly not as cut and dried as his childish screaming might suggest.

^ I texted him saying essentially the same thing. Contracts don't need fraud clauses. I told him to google "fraud in the inducement". The Yankees (as foolish as it may sound) can argue they contracted with a "clean" baseball player, not a steroid fueled one.

Wouldn't any standard player contract be governed by (then) current and future collective bargaining agreements, with the extant CBA covering the ways the contract could be nullified? If the CBA says they can erase him for roids, then they can.

I can agree with this but there is not some social contract that should you go into full rebuild that I have to continue to support with the same amount of money.

Also, and this really needs to be made clear to the majority of this city, a rebuild at the minor league level does not require complete deconstruction of the MLB team. The lack of understanding of this statement is what Joe Orr is referring to when he says certain people have been conned.

If the Theo way and the Tampa way is the right way to do it....why doesn't everyone do it????? Simple, there is not that much talent out there and as the great Ken Williams said "most prospects are suspects"

Not only was Dan wrong about Selig and unnecessarily mean to that caller... Lol he actually told Dan he was yelling for no reason or something.

Also, did anyone else notice Dan's frustration when the Penn St. writer guy was saying this trial would not be about Paterno, would be boring 2 months and that he basically would hardly follow it? Dan kept trying to get the guy in different tacks to give him something to be on a high horse and the guy had nothing really.

That's correct. And it's far more complicated than just saying "Rebuild it! Lose hundreds of games on purpose for years and then maybe get good." Maybe not. dan bernstein NEVER reaches in his pocket to pay for a ticket to see the absolute garbage he is cheering the Cubs on to put on the big league diamond while they do a "full on rebuild". Neither do most of the "intelligent" fans supporting such a move. They are relying on someone else- maybe the "dumb" fans- to actually go to the games and put money into the coffers. The Cubs are a special case in that they can get away with feeding their fans a diet of shit because the have "Beautiful Wrigley Field TM". That's why I would have loved for them to build WrigleyDisney in Rosemont so you could all see such luxury disappear. The Sox have a tough time drawing with Thomas, Lee, and Ordonez. What do you think will happen when it's Tekotte, Thompson, and Wells?

Yes, it's almost like Theo/Ricketts figure that sucking at the MLB level is the only way to show fans that "real" work is being done behind the scenes. You want to tank a season or five? Okay, but how about cutting prices for putting a team out there that you KNOW is horseshit? This is not the Angels or Phillies struggling despite being loaded with underperforming talent. This is a blatant money grab.
