It is an odd coincidence that the self-described optimists in this forum take everybody and a everything so seriously and they have no sense of humor, except for ORS who would like everyone to know that he laughs at me not with me. Mean-spirited laughter? I wonder if that has any health benefit.:dunno:

I don't mind if someone mistakes me for being younger, even if it is due to my immaturity. At least I like to have a laugh when I am posting in this space, unlike others who are always out to prove someone wrong. That's immature and not fun. BTW: Were my menopausal remarks offensive to you? I'm not surprised.

News Flash: Theo Epstein Abandons MoneyBall Philosophy per certain TalkSox Members. :lol:
-
-
But it is extremely interesting whether he used the term MoneyBall correctly? Here was the focus of his post as I read it: Why is it interesting? Because Theo was the Sox GM. He went to the Cubs who stunk in 2011 and that had very little talent. A lot of people thought that the Cubs had nowhere to go but up. I am finding it interesting that they could be heading toward a worse season in 2012, but that's just me. You find other things interesting and good for you.

No need to get snotty. I am just pointing out that you were missing the focus of his post and arguing a tangential point. You frequently do that when responding to my posts. I'm not arguing with you, just pointing out that MoneyBall isn't the issue. Let me get the ground rules straight on this discussion board. Am I not allow to agree with or elaborate on another poster's position? If not, that must be a new rule, because I am frequently defending my positions against numerous posters-- almost all the time. You are correct in noting that iortiz is capable of arguing any issue on his own. Heck, he could win most arguments against multiple posters with half his brain tied behind his back just to make it fair. He reminds me of myself in that regard.

Justin Germano? I guess Benny Boy is intent on stocking up the pig pen before he turns his attention to the rotation and the bullpen.

You are arguing the meaning of the term "Moneyball" which is not really relevant to iortiz's post. Whether Theo is employing a Moneyball philosophy with the Cubs or not, it looks pretty likely that the Cubs will be playing Shitball on the field next season.

Will this Maholm trade be a prelude to a Garza trade?
-
Maholm is off the table.
-
-
I'd still be cautious. This is his shoulder.

Maholm has had as many years with a 5+ ERA as he has with a sub 4 ERA. Lackey hadn't gone over 5 in any year until last season. I'd stay away from Maholm.
-
We probably shouldn't have signed lackey at any price. We should give Maholm exactly what Lackey was worth.

More bad news for us if the Tigers get Garza.
