2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

[champcruthik]

I get that Sale is 24 and a legitimate ace, but the White Sox farm system is depleted. Chicago is running his arm into the ground. Racking up excessive pitch counts while not contending. There are also injury concerns with Sale. He has awkward, unique mechanics and delivery.

 

[try2live4god]

A-Rod should not be allowed to play for the next 2 seasons and unpaid. That way the Yankees can use that money on other talent.

 

[N41D]

They'd be smart to unload everything and load up for the future...

They've got enough pieces they could stock the farm pretty damn well really quickly.

 

[ooiron manoo]

Who has the worst contract, A-Rod w/ the Yankees or Pujols w/ the Angels?

ARod, easy will go down as the worst contract, because he didn't live up to it and because of the circus he brought with him.

Pujols sucks and there have been other atrocious long term contracts but the ARod circus is like no other.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Pujols is also much more likeable, which does a lot for a person's history when it comes down to assessing their career.

Doing A-Rod dirty...hate to see them do that to the best Yankee since Mickey Mantle

ARod (sort of) speaks to S.I.

Epic movie with a "that's it?" ending. :\

****. Take me back to the 90s. I still get chills watching Griffey slide home in 1995.

PED use aside, I hope this plays out for ARod because at the conclusion of this season he will have made $353.4 million in career salary and that won't last forever.

Wait, what? lol

heard 11 baseball teams draw more fans than the marlins/rays combined 

florida is a terrible sports state

It is a joke down there. Find it especially hilarious with all these Heat "fans", though.

wasn't there tickets available in the playoffs the year they made the WS

I wonder if a new stadium would help bring out more fans in TB. The Trop really is a dump :x

Brian Wilson has chosen to sign with Dodgers, according to source. Had three offers. Will start in minors.

Giants fans are gonna be vexed

 

[dland24]

I can only speak for myself, but I dont blame Wilson for signing with the Dodgers.  Our season is (I should say was, now) a disaster.  We probably offered Wilson a 1 year, low ball deal.  Cant blame him for going somewhere else. 

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Hopefully this works out like it did for Jason Schmidt

 

[TheGodFresco]

He won't be nearly the same pitcher as before

 

[dland24]

I think he is going to beast.  Hope I am wrong, but I think he will.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

2 tommy Johns! Can't be the same

 

[lpheat22]

Hey that's my pitcher you're talking about, leave him alone

 

[kevin cleveland]

The baseball world was much better without Brian Wilson in it.

Wilson was cool, till the media started slurping him. His weirdness is such an act. He's a phony.

Brian Wilson has Air Mags, I want him gone..
