2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

You see him throw in the Grapefruit League? It was painfully evident Edgin was dealing with arm issues. That FB velocity looked like a beach ball to hitters.

I saw it man. I can tell that Wheeler looked uncomfortable as well. Beltran was right. The Mets' front office and medical staff have always been terrible. I remember they called Billy Wagner a wimp for complaining of elbow discomfort. Guess what? Wagner had to undergo TJ surgery. I never forget what have they done to Putz. Unforgivable.

It's been that way for years and they refuse to change it. Look at what they did to Ryan Church. That's always been my biggest issue, the incompetence and failure to improve. Their whole line of thinking with about 95% of situations that occur befuddle the hell out of me. If I was a fan, I would be ******* livid.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

dont forget how they basically made jose tear his hamstring by playing him after he tweaked it against the dodgers?

hated how they flew willie to anaheim just to fire him

grimey *** schmucks

 

[champcruthik]

Hey, P proshares . Can you enable pre-draft trades in our keeper league? Thanks.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

yeah champ and i have an agreement on a trade

 

[proshares]

Just PM me the trade and I'll fix the rosters before the draft. As long as it's a trade with only your keepers.

 

[champcruthik]

As long as it's a trade with only your keepers.

Will do. Hypothetically, if I'm trading two of my five keepers for one of another manager's keepers, confirming I'm able to replace that newly vacant fifth keeper spot with a player already on my roster.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

and i'll be dropping a keeper that needs tommy john to make room for it

 

[proshares]

PM me, I'll make it work out.

 

[proshares]

Got the PM but my book with all the fantasy stuff is at home so I'll take care of it tonight if that works.

All I need is @dland24's keepers

No rush. Thanks, bud. We still playing with a buy-in?

Texted him with your message.

 

[jhova718]

If someone drops out, I want in.

We're all booked up unfortunately.

And this is the Mets own damn fault. Another inept move piled on top of 28 years of ineptitude. They've ignored his complaints about soreness in his elbow for a YEAR and did not want to send him to take the MRI. He's complained since last winter and they just decide to send him for an MRI over this weekend. What a ******* joke of an organization and they continue to prove it.

he had 2 MRIs, in November and january, neither of which showed damage and he had platelet injections.

I'll bash the Mets when appropriate but relax my dude.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

mets doctors probably dont know how to read mri's

are the Phoenix suns' medical staff available to move to ny?

I'd never go to the hospital the Mets use.

 

[champcruthik]

Visiting Michigan again and I'll be at Comerica on May 10th for Royals/Tigers.

dmxfury , thought you mentioned visiting Citi Field. PM me when you do for comped tickets.

 

[dmxfury]

No doubt, I'll let you know if it happens this year. Thanks!

 

[johnnyredstorm]

had enough of this company man

[jjs07]

It's crazy to think that even with his late start, Ichiro will probably finish his career in MLB with over 3000 hits

 

[dmxfury]

Could've had a shot at Rose if he started at a 'usual' age for MLB. I can't see anyone breaking that record, so much consistency and longevity needed

 

[dakid23]

Three more weeks!

Safeco in April though :x

 

[fenixconnexion.]

^It's definitely an idea of mine.

It's my plan for retirement to tour the U.S. and see a baseball game at every ballpark.

 

[dmxfury]

Wife and I plan our dates of trips around the schedules. Love visiting other parks

 

[dmxfury]

And Olympic Stadium??? Incredible

 

[fenixconnexion.]

And Olympic Stadium??? Incredible

Did a stadium tour in grade 5 of just the park and then last season the Jays played a spring training game vs the Mets there and I went from Toronto to Montreal to watch it
Terrible stadium though
