  1. It's almost unfair how smart the Dodgers are and how great the ownership is. There are 0 reasons why Tucker shouldn't be on the Cubs even with Bregman. They choose to be ass holes.
  2. I say this every year, and it never pans, but I like what the Reds are doing
  3. I'm not a really big fan of HOF stuff. I think he's a lock, but not a first-ballot one. Multi-gold glover, platinum glover, good power numbers. He was considered the best 3B in MLB for at least 5 years.
  4. He looks like a plumber who ends up horsefeathers the housewife in a 1970s porn movie.
  5. I don’t buy any of that horsefeathers. Everyone is different. You don’t need everyone to be a leader. They could think he was goldbricking at the end of the season, who knows, but he’s a damn fine baseball player and will mash the ball for whoever signs him. There’s no reason to denigrate a guy. The owners are horsefeathers horsefeatherss.
  6. You can call me whatever you like but the Bears should play outdoors. They just should
  7. I really wanted to like Shaw the person when he was drafted. He said all the right things. But he is a douchebag's douchebag. Be that as it may, he's a useful baseball player who will likely get better. The Cubs have a perfect "waves" scenario with him and Nico. There is no reason to trade him or Nico. Let the season play out, give him reps, and see what happens. If they find they need someone at the deadline, he or Nico could be traded. But it would be foolish to trade either one right now. As long as nobody else he idolizes who is also a neo-Nazi gets shot, we will be good.
  8. Get over the cheating horsefeathers. Baseball players have been cheating since Old Hoss Radbourn hawked a loogie on a Spalding and made it dance. There are guys cheating now, and we won't know about it until someone finds out. Just get over it.
  9. The kind of posts drive me horsefeathers nuts. If you like the player, who cares how much they are paying him? Maybe he balls out for three years and helps the Cubs win a WS then he sucks ass for two. The sucking doesn't negate the great. Too many people think they are too smart and are paying the contracts.
  10. Your mother loves when I play morality police with her.
  11. OMG! What a beautiful Sunday morning in the duck blind! Cubs get Bregman and Bears beat packers. Now if the ducks fly in it will be a perfect morning.
  12. He’s going to eventually move to 2nd when they let Nico walk or trade him.
  13. I totally agree with the last part. I love minor league baseball. It’s fun, lower cost, and supports a lot of midsize towns. There is excitement going to a SB Cubs game with the stands packed. Or even a Montgomery Biscuits game where you can sit practically anywhere. it’s bad for the long term interests of MLB to get rid of MiLB.
  14. Basically, the same folks with different names. In the past, the John Henry group would go the distance, but they've changed significantly now that they've added more owners and probably PE folks.
  15. I think team control is overblown by fans and "smart" people when it comes to a superstar not making superstar money (yet), although Skubal wants $32M in arbitration. The Yankees gave up RHP Michael King, RHP Jhony Brito, RHP Randy Vásquez, RHP Drew Thorpe, and C Kyle Higashioka. All I'm saying is that it would be more than that and more than Abrams, Hassell the 3rd, Wood, and Gore.
  16. No, it really is not. We aren't talking about Edward Cabrera. You can have him for as long as you want if you're willing to pay what he's worth.
  17. Team control is secondary to getting the best pitcher in baseball over the last five years.
  18. No. See what the Nationals got from the Padres.
  19. Well, he’s not very good at convincing. .i’ll say it again- The Ricketts are the heroes of every story when the Cubs don’t get a player.
  20. Better than what the Nationals got for Soto
