I meant what the wager was about. Something about pitching, IIRC.

Kris Bryant expectations
100 dingers minimum! Anything less than that, DFA his ass.

You guys need to reserve those figures for the player who is Soler-powered.

Agent pushes team to keep Kris Bryant in bigs; Theo pushes back
Agent Scott Boras will not blame baseball's collective-bargaining agreement if the Chicago Cubs decline to include third baseman Kris Bryant on their Opening Day roster.
Boras, who represents Bryant, will blame Cubs owner Tom Ricketts.
“Cubs ownership has a choice,” Boras told FOX Sports on Tuesday. “Are they going to present to their market that they are trying to win? Tom Ricketts said they were all about winning.
“When someone says it’s the system, no, it’s a choice -- the choice of winning.”
Cubs president Theo Epstein countered, “Kris Bryant's development path has absolutely nothing to do with ownership, period. As with all our baseball decisions, I will determine where Kris begins the 2015 season after consulting with members of our baseball operations staff. Comments from agents, media members and anybody outside our organization will be ignored.”
Bryant’s status has become a major story due to his stellar offensive performance in spring training -- he is 10 for 23 with a major-league leading six homers.
The Cubs, however, could decide to start Bryant, 23, at Triple A Iowa -- and if they postpone his major-league arrival for at least 12 days, it will enable them to gain an additional year of control over Bryant before he becomes a free agent, according to baseball’s collective-bargaining agreement.
The difference will determine whether Bryant is eligible for free agency entering his age 29 or age 30 season. Boras’ preference for his clients to determine their values on the open market, however, could work against Bryant. The Cubs, knowing that Bryant is unlikely to accept a long-term extension before reaching free agency, surely covet the extra year of control.
There is a bigger picture as well.....

Yeáh sure, genius. This "it's not trolling because I say so" nonsense just isn't going to work. You try to do it with a velvet glove but it doesn't matter. You're not fooling anyone. So spare everyone your garbage denials.

You guys should just get a room where you can use those Cubs and whitesox condoms on each other...while sparing the rest of us from your public displays of affection in the Cubs forum.
Edit--why is the troll even posting here?
