    Thanks for the laugh hahahahahahahaha!!
    If Chiropractors didn't exist, what would we do about all of those vertebral subluxations!? If we didn't get rid of those then everyone would be walking around with Ebola, because there is totally a correlation there.

    Another of the many "fix is in" things that limits true capitalism. There should be a PE competency test and you should be able to pass and become a PE or not. Don't get me started on non compete clauses...
    I'm a PE in Alaska. The test is a joke. i could have passed it out of college no problem.

    So the new target in this thread is Crazy Train. I guess until AA gives us a better one, he will have to do.

    This off season has been very tiring. The more information the insiders spew out at us the less I believe. I guess they gotta eat too!

    I would like to see Braves sign Marwin Gonzalez and trade Camargo and Newcomb + for JTR and call the off season over.

    He makes sense here, in Philadelphia, and in Cincinnati (if they're able to add that much more salary). Hard to find anyone that's likely to give him the five years he reportedly wants, and maybe even hard to find anyone willing to go four.
    I wouldnt rule out a Hou/Keuchel reunion.

    Right now they have Miley, JV, Cole, McHugh, James, Whitley will be up at some point but on an innings limit, they still need more SP's.

    Agreed, my best guess would be it comes down to returning to Houston or going to stupid money Philadelphia.

    How confident are you that AA is going to do something significant before spring training? I’m getting a little weary checking here and on Twitter every 10 minutes. :)

    Got home from work and was excited as soon as I saw this thread had added 7 pages since last night. We finally made an acquisition!!! Who is it who is it?! Just tax rates and troll wars. On the plus side, UTD sold Almiron to Newcastle, and we're about to sign the lesser Pogba brother
