I think it was 11 more

Yeah, I should totally be looking forward to getting smashed in the World Series again.

Well at least you won't have to worry about the Cardinals sending you home early again, so that's nice...

Seriously - you fellas had Clayton Kershaw at his peak and managed to lose a short series to Mike Matheny....twice.

That's impressive.

yeah, how in the **** did that happen? Adams, who can’t hit lefty’s worth a shit, hits one on the biggest stage against one of the best pitchers of his generation at the top of his game. That’s not suppose to happen. Jinx?

Because you are defending Dusty Baker who was your old manager.
I understand it was the Cubs and they suck and all that but he did a horrible job with that team anyway. :D

Hey, the Cubs arent the ones in the middle of firing their manager in the middle of the season, trying to figure out how to get any high profile players to sign, and staring mediocrity in the mirror.

I'm not defending Baker, I even said he was shit at managing a pitching staff and burned them out in the regular season. I simply said you could do a lot worse than a guy with 3000+ games as a manager with a 55% win% or whatever he's sitting at.

Only one highly rated prospect (Diaz) and 2 guys bringing it up the rear on their top 30 (Kramer, Bannon).

Just checking in from Isla Mujeres to say **** Mike Matheny and **** yea.

That is all.

seems like the Orioles held on to him too long. Pre-Season they could have got two top 10 prospects for Manny.

Top 10? I don’t think so unless you’re talking about an org’s too 10.

Two top 50? Yes.

Org top 10.

Eh I dunno, seems like no teams are willing to trade high level prospects anymore.

Pretty sure in todays baseball that Wil Myers trade the Royals made wouldn't happen.

He's a half year rental at this point. Why did anyone think he'd bring a big haul back?

Diaz is ranked as high as #31 on top prospect lists in MiLB.

Considering that JD Martinez brought 3 prospects and not a single one even close to Diaz's level they did get a haul.

Not quite the haul the Yankees got for Chapman, but Theo was reeruned for making that offer in the first place.

I'm holding out hope that the Dodgers can bring him back next year. Yes, I realize there is a 1% chance of that happening.
