    Deserved or not, it's just nice to finally have people who are jealous of us. And the fact that it's a Chowdah? I want to relish it at least a little.

    Yeah, you're right. There's a measure of fear in it, too. We're lke Thulsa Doom, man.
    ...and thanks for making me hungry with all the food references.

    I bet it's only likely because we have more money not necessarily because the offer is more or there is indeed an offer. Won't believe it until I see it. What's this talk about trading Greinke and then signing Lester or vice versa I don't get it. I say keep Greinke and sign David Price after this year if Zack opts out.

    Seriously.

    The arms that will be available next year will be more than enough if Grienke opts out.

    Obviously, trading Grienke means getting a haul for a guy who is an ace on most any other staff, but we'd be stupid to trade him.

    As you can see I updated but yeah I didn't subscribe to trading the guy I only heard that it could happen.

    As far as I can tell the "Trade Greinke" idea is just writer speculation and has no inside information behind. Honestly, I think it's because the Dodgers are going after Lester and Hamels, and people are having a hard time accepting how dominant the Dodgers staff will be. I hate to break the news MLB, but Kershaw-Greinke-Lester is happening. You don't sign a stud pitcher just to trade a stud pitcher, that's like spinning your tires in the mud.

    Actually it would be a wash salary wise which would be the main reason in my view that speculation happened in the 1st place but I agree that would be stupid. My other point is EVERYTHING is speculation until it happens.

    I guess I'm not as astute as everyone else is financially....not knowing "value", or worrying ridiculously about an extra year, etc., as a deal breaker if you really want/need someone. LOL. The guy isn't gonna be with the club then anyway.
    In "Chinatown" Jake Giddis ( Jack N.) asks Noah Cross (J. Huston) "how much are you worth? How much goddamn money do you need"? And Huston tells him"you don't understand...money buys power".
    But the power/money hybrid is only good if you know how to use it. I guess we're having a wee bit of a problem for a while now.
    But this "driving up the price" on the Giants...how does this help the Dodgers, really, in the long run? Is it going to make them (SF) destitute and penniless ? If they spend 5 million more as a result of our wily moves, so what? One less Angel Pagan promo ?
    Sure LA's fan base is larger by far, but they do sell out every fucking game. So this is some kind of clandestine subterfuge possibly? Make them spend more and it will get us exactly what? Satisfaction... that feeling of insolence?
    Wow...the enigma code. We sure are clever. They'll be so dumb if this works ( if that's why we're doing it). We'll fucking rule , man!
    Oh they could be world champions again, but these days, so what?

    one can only wonder..where's Loria during all these signings?..trying to " lock up " young Marlins that are either coming off injuries, or haven't accomplished a whole lot, for pennies on the dollar -- long before they reach free agency and become too expensive for his liking.




    fraudulent ass deal. Olbermann ripped him a new one. Lol 3yrs, at the most, before Stanton asks for a trade..and actually, Loria might beat him to it. Lol

    This is the time of year that I usually geek out and check my phone every minute to see what the Dodgers are doing in free agency trades etc..as most of you do I'm sure...this usually brings me to other sites to find nuggets of information...this said, other Dodger fans are straight idiots. ..I mean you should read the things peeps are posting on dodger nation, bleacher report etc... This only reinforces my appreciation for DSP..Though you might get the occasional "I'm confident as fuck" or crazy scenarios from b2b..at least we have a grip on real baseball trades and possible additions..

    I know thanksgiving is over but I'm greatfull as fuck for you guys..haha..

    AJ was probably thrown off because he doesn't understand what framing is.
