At 77, at best he's briskly walking for President.

ESPN take on Machado signing... Who is the biggest winner of Machado joining the Padres? Miller: Cleveland. With the White Sox failing to sign Machado, Cleveland can now be pretty sure no other team in the division will win even 85 games this year. Terry Francona can start resting his players for the playoffs ... now.

That was recently on and I sat through it...so hilariously bad.

For the role of Vince Neil I'd cast Emma Roberts.

If that's true, good for them...and Wow.

You are taking this way more seriously than intended...I just posted the stupid story cause I like Ralphie saying 'obviousness'

Full Story Martin Scorsese’s The Departed may have won four Oscars and grossed more than $290 million at the box office, but, alas, it contains a fatal flaw. After an entire movie about mobsters trying to uncover a “rat” in their midst, a literal rat scampers across the frame, its lack of subtlety ruining the last scene and, arguably, the rest of the movie and the practice of filmmaking as a whole. Before we shut the entire industry down for good, however, a new Kickstarter campaign has an elegant solution: Just get rid of it. “In the tradition of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas digitally altering their movies after the fact, I want to digitally erase the rat from the end of The Departed,” mastermind Adam Sacks explains. “But unlike Lucas and Spielberg’s changes, this will make The Departed a much better movie.” That’s where Sacks’ campaign backers will come in, because he says he needs $4,000 to get the job done.

If loving you is wrong...I don't want to be right.

Of the two, I think Machado is the better bet on a long term contract. Provides value in the field and at the plate as a middle-inf. Petco isn't going to help his numbers though.

Im guessing it's got to be his, no way he agrees to an option after 5 years.

I'm taking bids...still mint in the box.

24 years at $24M---that's a heck of a lot more than Harper and Machado are going to get. Who's his agent?

What gives is that GM have become much much better at determining the true value of a player(moneyball saber-metric economics). The players are still envisioning getting those 300M ARod contracts that were awarded when the individual value of a players worth to the team was a little bit more nebulous, but those days are gone. And I'm sure their agents have sold them on this fantasy, but it's not going to happen. Teams aren't going to pay a Harper 30M a year, when they can pay Christian Yelich 20M and get the same production. IMO, you will see far less of the ARod salaries, but the floor will raise as guys who were considered average/okay are shown to produce more than previously realized. The overall money will stay the same, but the distribution will change. Also, Machado's an azz, so fock him.

I think you are exaggerating...I think he only threatened a dog's life.

I actually have a history of owning up to mistakes too---didn't make one here, I just went for the sensationalist headline, pure and simple. Also as an FYI - If it's really something I'm taking seriously I don't post bad parody lyrics as my opinion to the topic.
