Like the Tanner Roark move?

$12m / year for that. Baseball is completely screwed up.

Marner makes less then that, and we complain he's overpaid..

MLB should consider a salary cap.

The Yanks sign Cole for $324M and we respond with Tanner Roark?

Lisa the vegetarian is a pretty darned good episode

Well.
They play twice as many game...the teams, do not pitchers...and it generates so much more money.

Was never a big simpsons fan, they had funny moments but it was never must see tv for me.

I could never watch any other TV than seasons 3 to 9 over and over again and I'd be happy.

It’s kinda (frank)ed.

I mean they are heavy compensated for it....but for 75% of the year they have to completely devote their life to baseball.

Time person of the year at age 16, pretty impressive

I'd add 2 in there, but that's subjective. I'd also take South Park S3-Now.

Malala was better. She got shot. Greta is skimming on her rich white CIS privilege.

Very true, but the way I see it Greta is using her position of privelege to try to make a difference rather than for self-serving purposes. I'll allow it.

Those older episodes . . . seasons 3 - 10 maybe . . . They are repeatedly funny, and the laughs through the episodes are constant with so many different types of humour mixed in.

I catch the occasional episode now on rerun - seasons 17 or 20 or 25 or whatever, and there's still a couple of good laughs in an episode (more often of the absurdist style), but it doesn't hold a candle to what it used to be.

I'm just sad that Matt Groening went on the Lolita Express.

ugh..(frank)in yankees...they are a wrecking ball for the next few years and maybe more. no competing with them.

but there was a few options the jays should have gone all in for because they hopefully are turning a corner and those players they sign now will be important in 2-3.

roark gives me a RA Richardey vibe, lots innings reliable..but not great..3-4 guy

I understand the revenue sharing piece of the pie and all . . . but holy. $12m for an adequate 4th starter. This guy allowed 231 baserunners in 165 innings. In those 165 innings, he gave up 28 home runs. Moving him into the smaller Skydome will not flatter him.

Of any pitcher to pitch more than 162 innings, Tanner Roarke was 8th worst (or 55th out of 62 - using WHIP).

If you have a team internal cap (like the Jays do), spending $12m on THAT guy doesn't seem wise.
