General Cubs Chit-Chat

Yeah actually that must've been what he meant. Those 2 did combine for 10 WAR but they don't even have a 3rd under 25 guy.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

why Russell? eww...

well you originally said 25 and under, and they have a couple 25 year olds that should qualify for that.

Yeah that's what I meant, 25 and under.

Given the entirety of his career, he's probably our 3rd best 25 and under.

 

There's probably room for debate with Baez and Happ though, given recency.

I wonder if the girl in the picture with Addison's kid is the 3rd party who made the complaint?

Complaint?

 

There was a friend who made comments on Instagram (IIRC). Incidentally, Melisa Russell tweeted about her today.

How are you always on top of these things.

How are you always on top of these things.

I have a ridiculous memory for nonsense and spend way too much time watching Twitter.

 

Only SSR rivals me in the trivial internet nonsense memory dept.

[Sammy Sofa]

No, I mean, do you follow all of the player's wives and girlfriends online? Or is this getting cross-posted to Russell's feed?

not all... but a bunch. when people pop up on the suggestions i add them if i have any idea who they are. i don't even know why but occasionally something interesting or fun comes of it.

 

or a lot of times another cubs twitter person will like/retweet and it'll pop in my feed as well.

I may not bring quantity, but I try to deliver quality.

david is a creep on social media, it has been known

[We Got The Whole 9]

Is anybody else pretty concerned with our 2018 bullpen?

 

FO has their work cut out for them this winter. If they don't bring Wade back, it could be ugly.

Nah not really, I think there’s a good chance Wade is back but even if not Carl, Strop, Wilson, Monty (if not starting), Rondon and Maples is a solid foundation to add 2-3 pieces to. Also we have really smart guys putting things together.

So I stumbled on the Pearl Jam Wrigley Field concert film playing on Fox Sports 1 right now, there's some really cool Cubs stuff from what I've seen so far, and Theo got an nice section.

How awful is the after the fact fake radio calls of the NLCS? I’ve heard “the final out” already and it’s an abortion. How do they not get permission to use Buck or at least the Pat calls?

 

Edit: they used Pat’s call for clinching the pennant.

[Brian]

I was more bummed they didn't have audio from inside Theo's box during Game 6

 

edit - ok I see what you mean, this fake radio stuff is bad

But now they’re using Buck and Pat etc. it’s weird.
