I remember when I learned new things about baseball from Stone. I think hes spent too much time around Harrelson. So high on TWTW factor, its off the fucking charts.

"When you pitch for a Cy Young Award, you give 115 percent."

Also: "The trick to winning the Cy Young is to have 25 wins when the guy with the better ERA, more strikeouts, fewer hits, and fewer walks in more innings pitched has only 22 wins." (That would be Mike Norris, the pitcher who should have won the AL Cy Young instead of Stone in 1980.)

Is their plan to sign every free agent available this year? It's like that guy who got paid and is planning to blow his entire paycheck at the bar that same night.

Like the Cubs did for a few years then apparently went broke?

Their strategy is odd, spending just to spend seems like a bad way to go about this.

Could be attempting to capture Chicago baseball fan market share while Cubs appear to be hibernating

Quote:Could be attempting to capture Chicago baseball fan market share while Cubs appear to be hibernatingI mean, they've gotten shit for years for not spending and I think nows a good time..but signing a bunch of designated hitters is a strange way to go about it. I guess my point is, spend now that you're getting close to competing, but why not wait on spending that money in the next few years if better options will be available? The immediate spend now is strange...and now they're looking at Puig? Lol.

This plan has KW written all over it. He was waiting for this moment to show everyone who is really in control over there.
