I would rather have Perez than Bradley anyway. A 26-year-old lefty who has shown glimpses of success > a brittle, race/victim card playing clubhouse cancer.

Pun's been really quiet here, this thread has been dead, and I've been purposely avoiding being a troll about the Cubs, so I don't actually KNOW what was thrown back and forth about Bradley past what was said this winter and early spring. But yeah... I don't get it. Its not like we said Bradley was a talentless hack who couldn't play. The point was always that Bradley is an injury prone headcase who was getting a big contract based on one season of play. Its was a retarded deal, especially since it was made before the lines of Adam Dunn were signed. Bradley has talent, but he's a child and brittle. Chicago was always a bad place for him just as NY would be because he can't deal with Kansas City announcers talking bad about him. And the reason you took so much shit this winter and spring is because you kept telling us how Bradley had really turned the corner anjd had a better mind set than he ever had and how safe this was. It wasn't. It was a risky deal for a talent like to self destruct in one of many ways. And he did.

That doesn't mean that another team wouldn't be willing to take a chance on his talent on a lesser deal. By definition ANY trade would be a better deal now just because it would be 1 less year, but when you consider that the Cubs would likely have to eat money or take back a bad contract then there's no real problem with it. There's a WORLD of difference between signing a free agent to big money from a deep pool and trading for a salary dump with upside.

I'm inclined to agree with the Mets fans, I think. I rather not do the deal. But I also don't think I'd care that much either way. Both Perez and Bradley seem similar in terms of upside and downside. Its 2/$24M for Perez and 2/$21M for Bradley so its the same basic difference. Mets have need in both places. But ultimately its probably going to be easier to find OF options on the free agent or trading pools than SPs so you probably might as well hang onto Perez. I mean, he probably never gives you the confidence a SP should but you can play around with him in the pen or something. Nothing you can do with Bradley except run him out there and pray he's taking his medication and his bones don't break.

Also, this is totally gratuitous.

That reminds me - you need to do more stick fig animations, Lucky.

Looking back at that I can't imagine how much time I wasted on it just to do all the little shit like the crowd of reporters waving its arms. I mean, still not on the level of Stu's epics but still, crazy amount of time with tedious labor.

But also looking back I realize when Milton misses that HR he for some reason spins his arm around 360 degrees in response, which I suppose is plenty possible but which I like to believe resulted in him dislocating his shoulder and missing a month.

If I could sum up the 2009 season with one picture, it would be this:




Fucking shoot me now.

[Tommy]

PETEY!

[punk/core]

I just want to say that I have absolutely no faith in the Dodgers going into the postseason. None. Zero. Nada.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

The Dodgers should have pulled the trigger on Halladay since I have no idea who starts Game 1 for them. Billingsley? Wolf? Is Hershiser coming down from the booth? I really have no idea.

[Mikey]

"Fernando Valenzuela pitches Wednesday."

[punk/core]

No question that Wolf starts game one. He's been the most reliable starter we have lately. Kershaw scares me because you never know if he's going to me awesome or shitty when he goes out to the mound. Same with Kuroda. Padilla and Garland are solid, but hard to say where they would fit into the post season rotation. And the less said about Billingsley since the All Star break, the better.

[Mikey]

Kuroda's going in Game Two. Kershaw's pitching Saturday in Kuroda's spot. (Which of course screws me out of a start in the C&B Finals...)

Since they're playing the Yankees the first round, I whole heartedly agree with this sentiment.

Fuckin' Tigers.

THERE'S ONLY ONE OCTOBER!

But there's an October every year, isn't there?

[The Jewish Cunthead]

This Tigers-Twins game is already an instant classic. Great stuff.

[dragonmak]

Holy crap - this Twins/Tigers game is really freakin amazing. Shame whomever wins will most likely fall to the Yanks.

[Sparty]

I AM GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK AND I HAVE PROBABLY REALLY PISSED OFF MY NEIGHBORS.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Holy crap, it's Dragon!
