Cub Fans discuss Sizemore trade
Read it or don't read it, but know this. Their best offer is ARam for Sizemore. It takes more than a few comments before someone mentions that we have DeRosa. To which the reply is, include him in the trade too then.

They’re not even talking about it hardly. It’s clear that like only 4 guys are even considering that and it’s because they don’t know what they’re talking about.
Not worth it, people. Seriously, not worth it.
Agreed. That thread wasn’t offensive at all. In fact I think only one guy suggested A-Ram for Sizemore and he got shot down pretty quickly.
I see much much worse discussions in the forums of Tony’s site.

i see your point, although the discussion is brought up again later on in the thread.
the entire thread itself proves why i love LGT so much more than BCB. you all wouldn’t let half the crap said in that thread exist without being ridiculed.
although, not much to be gained getting into a ‘our blog is better than your blog’ shouting match. especially after what the indians have done to them this offseason.
Whoa. Like a bad dream: You’re back in tenth grade, surrounded by nimrods, and then suddenly stick appears and says: “What’s wrong with you people? Are you nuts? No way.”
It’s just idle speculation, nothing worth getting worked up about. It’s not like a poster came and set up shop here, demanding to know what it would take to deal Sizemore…

i guess i’m not really that worked up, it just seemed like a pretty dumb thread AND illustrated to me all the reasons why i’ve enjoyed LGT so much more than BCB since joining SBNation.
I am always shocked when I read other blogs; not all, but so, so many have unbelievably low standards for sentence structure, paragraph breaks, etc.
I just don’t get why people would type like that. It makes communicating intensely difficult.
The whole Cubs for Crowe bandwagon is really, really funny. I guess we’re not the only ones who overrate our prospects.
I’d trade him for one of their World Series titles.
Oh. Wait.

I’d like to thank all of you — genuinely — for being a sensible group of people that doesn’t use subject lines. That was brutal even trying to read.
Il faut d'abord durer.
There’s some flawed logic in there but at the very least it’s decently thought-out and an entertaining read.
I disagree with this:
But likely it won’t happen at all. I understand why Ricciardi won’t make a move like this. How, as the public representative of the direction of his franchise, can he essentially make the public statement that "even though we’re pretty good, we just can’t compete in this division so we’re going to start over."
That’s exactly what I think he should do and I have to think most of Toronto’s fans would understand. It’s not like Billy Beane blowing up the team in a weak division.

Shapiro, you need Halladay. Halladay will do the team so much better than the team is being now. Without ROY, you wont ever do anything RIGHT as g-m. READ THIS SHAPIRO
Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.

This is one of those sarcastic memes we occasionally develop here, where new readers can’t always tell who’s kidding and who isn’t.
On the other hand, I think I’ll make READ THIS SHAPIRO the new site motto.

If we trade Grady, won’t that free up money for Adam Dunn?

Perhaps we could work out a 3-way with the A’s for their entire farm system?
"...leading the league in most offensive categories. Including nose hairs."
I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to work out a three-way on a farm for the past three years.
Burn on, big river, burn on...
