    Exciting game to listen to. So much fun. They have Ron Santo Jrs at both pbp and color. Those two are so bad they’re awesome.

    They'd have to put him on a curfew, lol.

    That's been his pattern at every stop. They can't hold on to these guys forever without giving them a real opportunity at the major league level. If I'm choosing, I will take Alcantara over OWNKC.

    If Shota goes back to Japan do the Cubs still get a pick?

    They need a TOR pitcher and they need SLG. They are a team of role players who play great defense, but they are not an offensive juggernaut. Who is? In life, everything is relative, but being the tallest person under five feet is not a particularly notable accomplishment. If the price is right, I'd love to bring Cease and Schwarber back home. Cease will benefit greatly from Hottovy, and Kyle brings an edge and can swat home runs. That's where I'm at.

    This is a winable game. I think Caleb looks best when the pressure is on (not necessarily during specific plays, but close games). It will be a close game. Bears by 3- 34-31.

    If I could bet on the SB right now, I'd bet the Rams. That offense is too much.

    That's not that much of a flex. The reason is he holds the ball too long and would rather take a sack or scramble a run. Interceptions are obviously bad, but numbers without context mean nothing.

    What a block by Kmet
  10. CubinNY
    What a play call

    If he can’t learn tho throw he’s not going to make it
  12. CubinNY
    According to my tv I get watch the Bears today
  13. CubinNY
    That should not factor in their decisions one bit.

    Pearl is trying to run for office here in Alabama. They love him. He might run for Tubberville’s seat

    My best guess is that the Cubs see this a no loss proposition but they think he’s going to decline
  16. CubinNY
    That is true, but they don’t get paid until the season starts. And the owners rake in ST, especially the Ricketts. It’s a frequency game for them. They need dates to make money. They are in the hole for a good portion of the season. So any work stoppage that goes into the season is harder on the owners than the players. The owners are rotten fucks who are swimming in pools of cash they don’t want to share with the players. But they need games to be played in order for that to happen.

    The idea that the Ricketts want to win* due the cratering of the RSN and how much they’ve invested in the neighborhood is laughably absurd. They drive people in by the bus load every damn day they are playing. The Ricketts are evil, not stupid. They know they can’t spend like the Reds, but they care about filling Wriggle (the easy part) than about winning (the hard part). It’s also their philosophy on the sport, build the farm and replace. It just so happens that it’s the least expensive way of doing business and has no demonstrated success overtime.

    It’s beyond my understanding that people can see how they’ve operated post WS win and still expect some sort of change.
  19. CubinNY
    Yes
  20. CubinNY
    I'm ok with it. He's old and BP arms are volatile. I'm going to save all my thoughts until we see how things go across the league.
  21. CubinNY
    With Shota, the main concern is he give up a lot of fly balls. He’d be great for Detroit or Seattle.
  22. CubinNY
    You should change your name to Charlie Brown.
  23. CubinNY
    I don't have a clue what the Cubs are planning. If they don't make the offer, they likely think he will accept, or they are pooling their dollars to make a run at one of the top guys in FA. If they do make the offer, they may be signalling they are going to the mattresses for the lockout or they are playing a dangerous game of will he or won't he. Shota will decline the QO, because he stands to make a lot more in a multi-year deal. I'm not sure what the market will bear for someone like him, though. It should be a very interesting, if not exciting, offseason all across the league. The leage trends will tell us what the owners are thinking.
  24. CubinNY
    Just the opposite.
  25. CubinNY
    Exactly- That's will be the theme of this offseason. Players looking for years and front offices looking the other way.
