laughedatbytime Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Is it time for spring training yet? sadly no, but I can almost taste it. So can the Cubbies. But that's the bile triggered by knowing that if they take even a tiny step back from their humiliating collapse last year, it will be horrific for them and their fans.Nah, it's the salty tears of Red Sox fans knowing how much money ABs and innings that washed up players like Ramirez, Panda, and Porky will get. But I heard when I was out for lunch that the Cardinals are paying Jedd Gyorko about $35 million over the next 3 years, so the Porcello deal doesn't look that bad. Oh wait, it still does. But at least there's only one more year to watch their roided up DH and then maybe they can get younger. True, Porcello hasn't had the post season success of Jake yet. Man I wish the Sox had a team like those Cubbies. Did you know they got all the way to the LCS last year? Imagine if the Cubbies get off to a slow start? I mean, the fans are still giddy from that magical run last year. I'm sure the t-shirt ceremony on opening day will be moving, but then they'll have to win actual games. They haven't really been good at that historically.Speaking of history, there'll be almost a whole regular season of Laker games to use as a preview of what it will be like in Boston this year as a team showcases their aging "superstar" instead of trying to win. Or maybe you could find a replay of the 2014 Yankee season. Should be fun, watching the crowd chant "Derek Jeter Bii--iig Papi" for three and a half hours during those otherwise meaningless October games. Maybe they could make a one day trade for their last home game so that Papi could face Rick Porcello so he won't strike out to end his career at the "Fens". Yes, because if there's one position that demands youth, it's DH. Did you know Maddon is really smart?Yep, the DH is a sinecure for aging non athletes. Perfect for the AL brand of baseball. I don't think Maddon knows nearly as much about baseball as Bobby V. That dude knows his shit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you've said Jake won't tolerate anyone who is not as tough as he is on the Cubbies. Does he tolerate players who turn to jelly in the post season? Or is he self-hating?
