Well yeah. I mean that post will look pretty silly once Olt is named NLCS MVP.

That is a cool celebration though

Again with this strange idea that taking on excessive liabilities makes something more valuable.

Of course they've spent more. The draft picks are slotted and a shitty team gets higher picks. Who the fuck are the morons? The guys who lick up Theo's vomit as if it's delicious.

Those seem like very concise sentences to have come from the lips of Terry Boers.

"I, uh, I, uh, you know, there's a good chance that, and look, I'm not the guy who, you know, for the love of God, there's nobody that knows what he will do, but I'm , I'm, I'm comfortable in saying that, given the way things go in today's day in age, it , it, it, who knows? I mean, who really knows? But yeah, in time and with the right circumstances, I could see it, I could see it. No question."

Tats good stuff

One if the worst answers ever "they know" and then they'd bring up the draft pick like its a sure thing

I wish I would have done similarly when I joined the board. "Hey guys, I'm new here, and for a while, it might seem to you that my posts suck. But remember, it's a work in progress. I'm not going to get everything right in 10 posts, 100 posts, hey, maybe even several tens of thousands of posts. I'm not going to put a post count on it."

Smart people would have to concede I'm on track to be the best poster on the board.


Someone needs to do a "who you crappin'."

A Personal Relationship with Jesus?

Exactly, Shark & Arrieta unlock their potential, Wood pitches great again, Jackson bounces back, Rusin/Raley eat innings. Strop becomes a beast fireman reliever. Renteria speaks Spanish to Castro and transforms him into an MVP candidate. Rizzo finds his average stick. Olt lives up to his prospect status a few years ago. Lake mashes and is the new Ellsbury.

Wild Card is the floor for this year. Can't Wait.

Seems like an odd statement coming from such a "minors don't matter " kind of fellow

Oh, don't diminish our hero hosts like that.

A caller has to agree AND begin the call with no pleasantries, AND thank Dan for being out in front of the Penn State story.

Unless you're madduxboy. Then you can do whatever you want, but you'll be slurping Dan anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Prior had a dominant MLB season under his belt

As dumb as it is, The Bryant one is worse

I doubt Terry has seen 5 Bryant swings

Then again thius is the guy who brought you Jon Wall better than D Rose

I think Almora will be every bit the player Roberto Palomar was

It is EXACTLY like dinner theater for those who buy tickets.

"They're committed to building a championship" is the kind of vague rubbish that could pretty much justify having faith in any MLB team no matter how bad they are.

I wish every single person would stop watching and the team went out of business.

18 or 19 teams are unsure about the Championship goal

But the Cubs really, really want to build a champion. I feel sorry for those other teams that just want to win games.

Man, this bernstein is a real fucking moron. As he's lauding the Cubs for spending more money on minor leaguers than anyone else, he can't seem to connect the fact that the only reason for that is because they have lost so many big league games. It's not something to credit them for.

I am a life-long Cubs fan who has lost some interest in baseball but still watches my father struggle through every single pitch of every single at-bat, and Dan Bernstein has driven me to almost agree with you in these sentiments. It's quite a feat, really.

You really have to hand it to the Edmonton Oilers. They drafted first overall three years in a row! I don't see anyone else making that commitment to development!

I understand that there will always be people who watch no matter what. I'll watch the Sox no matter what. But what bernstein is espousing, "stop watching", is bullshit. If you stop watching, you're counting on someone else to watch.

We don't know about the Sox guys. But we know about Kris Bryant. My God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
