Fuck.

Good pickup for the Rockies. When you come across a pitcher who posted a 4.63 FIP and 2.55 K/BB rate at AAA as a 27 year-old, boy-how you gotta get that guy.

The Rockies have sent a clear signal to the division and the rest of the league: they're serious, and they GET IT.

Yet they didn't want Jacob Turner, who has a ton more upside. The rockies are outside the box thinkers.

Jacob Turner who has a six plus ERA? That guy? HE STINKS. THE CUBS ARE FUCKED.

I was pretty certain that CFiHP was joking about the Rusin thing. I even laughed. Let me find out he was serious.

It's what's convinced me that we've been duped and CFiHP has been trolling us the ENTIRE TIME.

Paul would be proud of such expert-level trollery.  In fact, I'm surprised it hasn't garnered a mention in Variety by now.

Did he rebut the arguments of multiple debaters from the CHUD forums with mere sophistry?

What I love about San Francisco is that it is one great big bandwagon.  People who have never set foot in AT&T Park came to work today in Giants' T shirts, and couldn't tell you the name of the starting shortstop.

But this is their 3rd pennant in 5 years. How can there be new bandwagoners?

I don't know... does finally joining the bandwagon after three pennants make you more, or less bandwaggony?
