    I think he was the wrong target for a contract of that size, and to date, he's backed that point by poor play and poor conditioning. He's a liability on the basepaths too. It remains to be seen if he will magically improve next year and going forward, but I have my doubts. He must be moved to 1B or DH, and perhaps even sat against lefties.

    If he has any sense, he's got a gf on the side, no?

    It's not a matter of wanting a big pitcher, it's NEEDING one in today's game. If you don't have any coming through, then get ready to open the checkbook. It certainly is a problem when Scherzer gets a crazy overpay like this, and it's 99% sure to hurt them. But that's the state we're in. I agree in principle with ownership's reluctance to hand out big money to aging pitchers, but in practice it's a different story.

    Know what I saw someone call Porcello today? Poorsigning. AHAHAHAHAHA

    Let's start a chant while we're waiting: WE WANT CHERRIES OUT, SAY WE WANT CHERRIES OUT.

    Is that what your girlfriend said?

    I must be the only one here NOT glad about the rain delay. Come on, get this f***er started, give us our beatdown and let us go on with our lives. TEAR THE SHROUD FROM OUR EYES.

    qft.

    Also, to give out that much of an increase without a conditioning clause, since this must clearly have been an issue for the Giants, is indefensible. Especially when we see him come out for "dehydration."

    One of my problems with Sandoval is the inability to hit lefties clearly emerged while playing with the Giants. In my opinion, along with the wrong side of .800 OPS and small HR totals, he did not justify such a huge increase from $8mil. I don't care if he won the WS single handed if he's not particularly great with the bat or glove all season long.

    If anyone has actually watched tonight's game, I reckon they're bleeding from the eyeballs by now.
  12. Northern Star
    But you have to go over the average now to lock him up, because he'll be too expensive by the end of the season.
  13. Northern Star
    You knocked the crap out of that one, JBJ
  14. Northern Star
    Probably shouldn't have had that third cake before the game.
  15. Northern Star
    Dumber than a box of rocks, but Farrell condones and encourages it.
  16. Northern Star
    I want a stat on how many runs players like Papi and Hanigan and Panda cost us on the bases, verses what they make up with their bat.
  17. Northern Star
    There was a Pirates starter named Jimmy Anderson who had nothing on the gun and seemed to get lit up like a Christmas tree every start.

    Nothing like getting to the game, paying top dollar for a ticket, getting settled in your seat and the game's over and you're taken out of it in the first couple of innings.
  19. Northern Star
    I can, but not on the Sox.
  20. Northern Star
    Get Dombrowski on the phone. We'll take Price, but you've got to take Porcello back.
  21. Northern Star
    I'd love for someone to say "Porcello isn't finishing his pitches" because I'd say the hitters are finishing them for him.
  22. Northern Star
    So is this still inexplicable, or do most of these new acquisitions in fact suck ass?
  23. Northern Star
    Sure glad Ben handed out the $80 million extension that hasn't even kicked in yet. That's smart thinking, boy.
  24. Northern Star
    I suppose it's too late in the day to tell Porcello to KEEP THE f***ING BALL DOWN?
  25. Northern Star
    dat's...racist?
