LAAngels get Greinke. The Brewers are getting prospect shortstop Jean Segura and two Double-A pitchers in return.

I do, moreso if teams are bad for 3+ years. If fans see positive from the front office, it buys time.

. So why are the bucs out drawing the sox? Surely the winning is enough to delude fans of 18 years of giving players away and sucking AND not signing Appel? The sox haven't given players away

Can't believe MIL gave up on their season in July. THE CARDINALS DIDNT GIVE UP LAST YEAR!!!!!1111

You live by the Cell, why don't they draw? I have theories, but not sure people want to hear that.

If TEX wants to give MIA two of of Profar/Olt/Perez I'm fine with them moving Josh Johnson.

The Brewers gave up in free agency - losing Fielder.

Pretty big difference in that I'm not really a fan. I don't care if they suck donkey dick. I care about my bets.

You won't be seeing me getting all worked up about a team unless they cost me money that night.

You may get your wish now that the Angels made their move.

Exhibit A:

Fuck you, Brewers.

And losing CC the year before.

I wonder how many Cardinal fans thought it was a good idea to trade Pujols at the deadline last year and get something for him?

How much did we bet on the brewers finishing 4th MF? At least YOU didn't give up on them in the off season!!! Dedicated Monkey-Fanboy!

Uhh. Where do you not understand the difference between making +EV wagers and being a fan?

If you think that me wanting to take the bet was an emotional response, you're wrong.

The longer this Dempster fiasco goes on, cubs are better off keeping him and getting the compensatory draft pick.

no it wasn't too much emotion from you, I wasn't implying that

it was too much SHARPNESS emanating from me

LOL

Nobody said they were going to be a great team this year.

Milwaukee may struggle without Fielder and probably without Braun for 50 games.

 

[Archie]

you wanted to bet they wouldn't finish 4th.... after I predicted it

besides, last year they were only a closer from contending... they got bullpen help...

so who else did they lose? what is Prince's WAR 20?

LOL

 

[Tron]

LOL

Glad I didn't see that offer Archie, I would have taken you up on it. Early season injuries and the bullpen killed them.
