this is gonna be an decent free agent class as far as starting pitching goes

Arrieta is arguably the biggest name hitting the market, with Darvish challenging him in that regard

with Lackey retiring, Cubs will need to sign someone, and I'm sure they will be acquire a big-name pitcher. but if that involves paying a premium to retain Arrieta, I'd be a bit upset

>>76803478
Arrieta is doing a good job shitting up his market value with how he's ptiching and the fact that it was the Cub's godly defense that helped him get out of most of the jams he pitched into.

Unless he has a second coming, he's going to fleece whatever team that signs him so badly.

The blame lies entirely on Rauner, who wants to destroy the state by refusing to play ball unless he can gut everything.

Also Le Stella needs to moved from the infield. That's the 2nd time his fielding made the Cubs give up a run.

Get la stella off the field.

The fact you don't know how booth interviews work is how I know you don't watch baseball.

David Ross's walk up song was 'Forever Young'. Illinois's walk up song will be 'Forever Blue' thanks to Rauner's dickery. We might be trading one rich oligarch for another, but at least the one with the D in front of his name is willing to make deals instead of sticking his head in his sand begging to the Koch Brothers for more money.

Now you have to be a troll or just retarded to think that's good idea. Tell me how all those 401k retirement funds did in the Republican caused Great Recession. Oh right, they all got wiped out because you can LOSE money with those sorts of investments instead of a pension.

i see how you failed to refute the original argument, namely how the democrats continue to run out of borrowed money year after year. The junk bond rating should be a blessing, hopefully forcing the legislature to actually get their fiscal house in order. Instead they will most certainly plow ahead in the same manner so we, the taxpayers get to pay more for fewer services.

y'know i read an article about how Illinois is such a shithole that it should just dissolve and let the bordering states take a chunk for themselves

which happened because the Republican led congress and Neo-liberal Clinton did the bidding of the banks by slashing all the regulations meant to stop those sorts of practices. Oh and the Republicans currently want to do away with the few regulations that were put back in place to keep a repeat of the crash from occurring. So yeah, it's the Republican's fault.

>>76804270
Your argument is fallacious because it assumes that pensions will continue to be raised under the current conditions as part of an endless cycle. Democrats already are willing to renegotiate pensions but Rauner thinks workers should be given what they earned and wants to slash and burn everything. I just tool the time to point out the idiocy of thinking anything that involves the stock market for retirement is a smart thing.

They have no money BECAUSE they haven't had a budget in the past 3 years, BECAUSE Rauner refuses to play ball with the democrats and make any concessions thinking the people are stupid enough to fall for all the money he's pouring into attack ads over actually governing.

I'd give you points for trying, but Rauner just vetoed that too.

Good times

It's finally over. Next time it won't be so easy.

Montero: "It’s a shame that it’s my fault because I didn’t throw anybody out."

Miggy: “If I don’t get a chance to throw, that’s the reason why they were running left and right today, because they know (Jake) was slow."

Montero: "It's just like: 'Yeah, OK, Miggy can’t throw nobody out.' Yeah, but my pitchers don’t hold anybody on.”

Montero: "It really sucks because the stolen bases go on me. And when you really look at it, the pitcher doesn’t give me any time.”
