  1. They gots bills to pay. They own a sportsbook that can't make any money, a hotel that is mostly empty, a political "movement" to support, and Wrigley bills. More money means more problems.
  2. Yes, I read that there is another story mentioning the CBA expiring. I expect a very quiet offseason.
  3. Oh, if only more people would realize that. The data are the data; the further away from the actual performance you move, whether it be through math or opinion, the further you are away from objective reality. We see it all the time here. When you "normalize" data, you are taking out essential variables that cannot be normalized. It makes comparison easier, but it's also not real (it's hypothetical). Treating it like it is real is a type I error. But most people do not have a grounding in statistics or math and gobble up the values as if they are facts. Don't get me started on using ordinal measures as data.
  4. I want a moratorium on any Happ trade conversations starting now. He's not getting traded. The Cubs love him; he loves the Cubs. End. Of. Story.
  5. Is stale a thing in prospects? OWNKC, Alcantara, and to a lesser extent, Mo Baller have nothing to prove in AAA. They have to either let them play or trade them. They are on the razor's edge of contention with the current team configuration and things can go south quickly. It's obvious baseball is not Shaw's top priority; they can deal him as well. They will need to pick a direction and head that way, balls out. Whatever direction they choose, there is no chance they will get in a bidding war for Tucker with the Mets and Yankees.
  6. They are going to get better. I don’t hate the Brewers like I do the Cardinals. And I admire them more. Unfortunately the lesson PTR and the kids will learn isn’t the correct one. I don’t see them signing a big ticket SP or Bergman. I see them having a quiet off season finding bargain and reclamation projects.
  7. Good slate of games this week
  8. Momentum is only as good as the day's pitching. The things that the Brewers do well are the things that Cubs pitchers also do well. They don't strike out much and put the ball in play. That is right up our alley. I do really like our chances so long as the Cubs pitchers can limit damage.
  9. I'd love for the Cubs to win this next game, but for me, the season has officially become a success.
  10. The obvious solution is to drill them the next time they come to the plate. But that will only make matters worse
  11. Yankees out. There is a pretty decent chance we will have an all west coast WS.
  12. I was going Bee Gees, but I like what you did there.
  13. How is TBD going to pitch for both teams.
  14. I don’t even really care all that much and this stress is killing me
  15. Good start. Don’t horsefeathers the bed now.
  16. We will see if the team has a broken spirit tonight. I don't want another blowout.
  17. We could have a Brewers WS champion and a Packers NFL Champion this year. My son tells me the Bucks are good too. What a world.
  18. The most unfortunate part of their schedule is that they are playing better teams than they have.
  19. Obviously not a must, must win, but about as close to it as possible. They need to show they can hang. Shota's splitter isn't doing what it is supposed to do lately. Hopefully, tonight it will. The Brewers are a solid team, but the Cubs can hang with them if the pitching holds.
  20. He might be the highest functioning person with severe and uncontrolled ADHD I've ever seen. He has all the classic symptoms: impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattention (hyper-focus). I read that he works 18-20 hours a day. What a life.
  21. Seeing the picture of Ricketts pouring beer on Eddie Vedder made me lose a little respect for Ed.
