Give it time guys. Its just a chess match. I'm sure JD understands choos importance more than any of us. Yall are stressing me out and im the calmest dude here lol

Inglorious Basterds is a great movie with Pitt. He cracks me up in that movie.

I need to watch it, but I admittedly have a problem with gratuitous violence...eg, I can get through Saving Private Ryan, but almost barfed during Pulp Fiction...I litteraly had to get up and leave for a minute. Strange, I know

Oddly enough, Tarantino praised Spielberg for Saving Private Ryan and said that was his motivation for making Inglorious Bastards

We are nervous because of the failure of last off-season..... Or at least that's why I am.

One of my favorites of all time. "FUCK a DUCK"

He can't give Boras time Terps, that's the problem.
I don't like it, but I'm not that stressed about it.

I will grant you the calmest dude, although DT is a pretty calm guy

History has shown we have lost the chess match in prior years , don't want that feeling again. Just move on from Choo and make the team better for less money and years and add a second piece

I'm willing to wait it out a bit not as stressed out as some are here

 

[terpsfball09]

Ya I don't see why we would move on to be honest. I mean we got him. If he makes our team better than any alternative then its worth waiting for. Even if we don't sign anyone else, we get a leadoff hitter and an outfielder

Even DT is anxiously awaiting a move, we all want to keep the faith but we have seen that bite us in the ass before.

 

[terpsfball09]

In fact, the fact we haven't moved on to other options at this point reaffirms my belief that everyone involved with the process thinks we got him. I mean why would every other team back down except us? It just doesnt make sense other then that we think we're the team who has him. He's just following his agent's orders and taking his time with the official inking

with all sincere respect, you waiting it out....doesn't mean anything
just like us that are worried about waiting it out...doesn't mean anything

Can JD afford to wait it out, is what matters

A bird in hand! We got a nest of eggs

 

[terpsfball09]

why wouldnt jd wait it out? its because he thinks he's got him. He backed off of other FA's last year when he didn't think he was gonna get them. But this time its the opposite and he is still in the hunt while every other team faded off.

Everyone here is saying "maybe he should move on." Why would he do that? If he thinks hes got choo then wait for him. He's the best guy to get to make our team better, so what is the point of moving on? He is better than any other alternative on the market, so just play along with his little game

following his agent orders means he waits it out for a better offer.
The best hope is not Boras, it's Choo. Ideally he says forget you, I'm signing TOMORROW

 

[Nightcrawler]

Winter meetings ended yesterday right? Maybe Choo wanted to wait until they were over to sign. We can only hope....

 

[terpsfball09]

lainey when he signs with us you gotta listen to two alter bridge songs because of the extra stress you put me through..

that's what I said he'd do like 2 days ago lol. Its only smart. Boras flies over to where he is at and presents him with copies of the contracts of each offer. Highlights the important points and lets him talk it over with his family!

Or it could be the theory of boras just waiting it out until the leaks arise. Which has already happened so that's probably more true

Moving on ensures we don't end up with zilch like last year

Not maybe move on, move on. If we had him, he would be signed. It's not complicated, unless you know something we don't

Damn I'm suprised people are up this late lol it's 3:15am here
