I don't get mutual options; how are they different from just agreeing on a new one year contract? What's the point?

I think, at one time, there may have been extra money attached to one end or the other one of this kind of deal. Not sure that that would be allowed now though.

I've changed a lot since I started hanging with Sonic, but I can't depend on him forever. I know I can do this by myself! Okay, Eggman! Bring it on!

There is no doubt in my mind that Rick Renteria's team will knock the Cubs out of the playoffs because that is how it works.

Seemingly against all reason, Hawkins converted 23 save opportunities this year (as a 41 year old) and only blew 3.

So you're predicting a Twins/Cubs world series at some point in the near future?

My favorite LaTroy Hawkins memory was in July of 2004 against the Cardinals at Wrigley Field. The Cubs were up 8-2 after 3, chased Matt Morris early, but then Albert Pujols hit 3 HR and Hawkins went absolutely apeshit and I swear at the time I thought he was going to punch the umpire.

Oh and also he gave up that HR to Victor Diaz of the Mets in September of that year that was pretty much the beginning of the end.

I would be glued to my television if the games were on in the late afternoon. But I do not care enough today to stay awake to see who wins the game Wednesday night. I will read about the outcome.

I will miss the drama of Madison Bumgartner trying to achieve three wins, but in some sense the lesson of all those great games I have enjoyed over the years is that there is always another great game.

Maximum old man.

I have a Tigers fan friend who is convinced the Cubs are going to lose Baez or Russel to Tampa as penalty for tampering with Maddon. I think he's just pulling things out of his rear end, because I've not seen anything else anywhere. Plus, tampering is going to be super hard to prove.
