    Draft is tonight, Houston's been dealing. I really, really hope the Celtics aren't dumb enough to take Austin Rivers.
  2. Jacoby_Ellsbury
    Evidently not. Otherwise Youkilis would be in the NL right now.

    This is BAHSTIN. Anything less than a superstar and/or top prospect in return for our struggling 33 year old CIF is unacceptable. Ben the Boob should be ashamed.

    Have my babies.

    Stop being the voice of reason.

    LeBron, Wade, and Bosh are all due at the olympics, so I have my doubts that they can repeat next year, just because of the fatigue involved from getting basically a one month break from last fall to next June. Maybe if Riley works some magic and can talk Nash or Ray Allen into signing for the vet minimum and Marcus Camby for the MLE, they can pull it off, that would help their depth immensely.

    I don't like Beal. He's undersized and lacks the athleticism to compensate for it, and there's nothing special about his game outside of scoring. I'd like to see the Wizards trade #3 and a contract (maybe flip Ariza) for James Harden and #28. Harden's poor finals showing isn't really indicative of much, it was just a bad series. He's bigger than Beal, is a better playmaker, a better defender, and he's proven. OKC has to unload Harden or Ibaka at some point, since they're pricing themselves to the point where the Thunder won't be able to keep both. MKG and Ariza keeps them good in the short term and makes their perimeter defense pretty scary.

    Yeah, LeBron doesn't have 'it'.

    I like the trade for the Wizards. They get a couple of defensive veterans/professionals to help out the inexperienced young guns, and both their contracts are up in 2014, so at that deadline they have two trade chips to use to try and add to what will hopefully be a team on the upswing by then. Hornets did good too, they cleared an insane amount of money and got a 2nd round pick out of the deal.

    You must have missed Epstein's whole 'there was pressure on the front office to make some kind of move' interview. But keep arguing semantics.
  12. Jacoby_Ellsbury
    You're from Minnesota, you would know your straw.

  14. Jacoby_Ellsbury
    Keep twisting those words and throwing up strawmen, pops. We all know it's the only way you can ever front anything approaching a real argument. iortiz, I'm not debating who gets the blame for what. Why do you keep bringing that up? Cut the s*** with the strawmen, both of you.
  15. Jacoby_Ellsbury
    Okay?
  16. Jacoby_Ellsbury
    Yeah, his stats. Good, but not top dollar good. There were other reasons thrown around too which escape me at the moment.

    Not at all. You're acting like Cubs fans would have legitimate reason to be antsy if the team isn't contenders by 2013, despite the full rebuild in progress. Making contention in 2013 happen would require abandoning the plan and shifting to a series of 'quick-fix' moves, the same kind of moves that have relegated that franchise to middle-lower echelon status for god knows how long, and are now coming back to haunt the Red Sox. How is that hard to comprehend? No, you act like getting an elite Red Sox team to watch on a yearly basis is a birthright, and that down years are unacceptable. And you're incredibly vocal about it. That makes you and like-minded people insufferable jackasses. I can respect the great effort you're putting into twisting my words around, but try to be a little less obvious with it.
  19. Jacoby_Ellsbury
    That doesn't imply fault, that implies that a700 was a damn fool for wanting to sign Crawford and evidently lacking the foresight to see that the team's constant spending would have consequences at some point. Of course the fault lies with management for being just as greedy and short-sighted. This is also the same guy who wanted to trade Jon Lester for Dontrelle Willis in 06. Where he gets the nerve to insult mine and others' baseball knowledge while constantly drumming up his own is anybody's guess.
  20. Jacoby_Ellsbury
    Who ever said otherwise?
  21. Jacoby_Ellsbury
    So you're not gonna rebut anything I said regarding Theo and the Cubs (you sure as hell have nothing to say to the first part of the post), just do what you constantly accuse me of? Awesome.
  22. Jacoby_Ellsbury
    Are you s***ing me? That team had nowhere to go but down. Their feeble repeated attempts at getting back to contention the past several years only delayed the inevitable and left the team in purgatory. Theo's doing the right thing. I don't have much experience with Cubs fans, but I doubt they feel half as entitled as you people do. Nobody's gonna flip s*** if they're not contenders in 2013. Because they realize that rebuilding takes time, and championships aren't easy to get, and you can't just slap a stale product together and expect it to go anywhere.

    2-3-2's better, I'd like to see it become the global format actually. For one I think the excessive travel is dumb. Two it places a greater importance on home court. More is at stake.

    He took the pieces Duquette couldn't do anything with... and he did something with them. Therefore, Epstein > Duquette. Quite simple.
