Yup, TRUE STORY. Once upon a time in the year 2008 a troll named Mutttts came to warn the Cubs (best record in baseball) faithful about the Dodgers (sub .500 team at the time), Mutttts spents 3 months telling these Cub fans to not get their hopes up because the Cubs WILL be swept in the first round by the Dodgers. For three months the Cubs faithful laughed at Mutts, taunting him, calling him every terrible name you could possibly think of, all because Muttts wanted to spread the truth. Well three months later as Cub fans laid on the streets crying wondering WHAT had happened and how a team like the Dodgers could SWEEP their amazing 100 win team. I wish I could've done more to prevent the heart ache, but they just wouldn't listen. I remember for one night I was the only poster on here, NONE came to eat their crow, not a one.

Beating the Cubs was LA's world series LOL

That would be like me being proud of the Cubs beating the Braves in '03. I still consider that year a failure.

I'm glad we didn't win the WS that year. If we did McCourt probably wouldn't be on his way out and we wouldn't be able to add Hamels, Cain and Greinke next year. We will literally be able to bump our payroll up by 100 mill and still have a lesser payroll than the Angels. We will probably be able to add Wright and Hamilton also.

"add Hamels, Cain and Greinke next year."

hahahahhaha good luck getting 2 let alone 3

Cain/Hamels and Greinke is a possible option. Besides, I would rather have Marcum than Greinke

Why wouldn't we be able to get all three considering we can bump our payroll between 100-120 mill?? I guess it's possible one of them won't come here but ifthat happens we will probably just go with Marcum. Or maybe wait one more year to add the fourth ace to our rotation.

Did you see McCourts future plans?? He was gonna use the 4 billion dollar TV deal to buy soccer teams around the globe and he was going to lower our payroll from 110 mill to 75 mill (currently 80 mill)during that same time. He was literally gonna keep all of the 4 billion for himself. That's why Selig jumped in and said Nope not happening. Funny thing is those records never would've became public if it wasn't for the divorce. He was really gonna destroy the Dodgers forever.

The Bulls can win the regular season without him, Frank. If he's there for the playoffs, it's all good.

Because you would be committing 65 million at least to 3 players, then add 20 million for Kemp and your at 85 for only 4 players. Sorry not going to happen

Sorry you're wrong, Kobe is still putting up the same old Kobe numbers and Pau and Bynum combo is younger than the Boozer Noah combo. The whole "old" thing is based off of Kobe and until he plays like he is old it wont matter.

Like I said, our payroll is currently 80 mill (including over 10 mill in salary to Manny and Jones), we will be able to add 100 mill to that 80 mill into the 180 mill range. So yes we could pay them 65 mill AND have 35 mill left over for offense. Even if it takes 70 mill to sign all three we could still do it.

180 million? As long as you have your head up there, why don't you check for hemorrhoids?
