    I think ole' Tom and the other owners who manage MLB have a good idea of what the CBA strategy is going to be. I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

    Our C0bs are in free fall.

    The last time the Cubs tanked I at least believed brighter days were ahead for the organization. I don't really think that way now.

    Next up, Jason Heyward.

    Not for me.

    I didn't grow up in Chicago so I don't get the hate for the WS. The owner is a turd and the fans can be a bit much and more, but the team, I never cared about one way or the other.

    Shoot that [expletive] to the moon for all I care.

    My wife calls it COVIDrage. I have a reflexive hatred of these people and I wish them all the worst of outcomes.

    Shooting for a record!

    First 3 batters with hits. Cubs down 1-0

    The Ricketts-owned Cubs have carried a 105+ million payroll in 12 of their 13 seasons. In 2013 when they had no intention of competing they spent 37% of their 107 million payroll on free agents that offseason(plus extended Starlin). That 105 million mark would be 40 million lower than this year's opening day payroll(which itself was 30-60 million lower than the peak seasons), and would still offer them ~35 million to upgrade the roster. Claiming the team won't have financial resources to get better as soon as this offseason is aimless cynicism. I hope you're right, but payroll expenditures were mostly before they overextended themselves buying and delveloping real estate around Wrigley. I'm thinking the new CBA is going to benefit the owners in such a way that they are further able to suppress payroll and then claim they are handcuffed by "the rules" they are handcuffing on themselves. I think the Ricketts will be more than happy trying to win with a mid-market team competing with the other mid-market teams in the NL Central.

    Given what you know about ownership...

    Game 1. Steele will probably throw 5 innings with 2 ER and take the loss. Game 2. Mills will probably throw 6 innings and 4 runs and get the win. Baseball is like that only dumber.

    He was last seen on Twitter hawking a grammatically incorrect shirt tacitly advocating rape.

    Davis gunned a guy at the plate yesterday. I wanted to go to a few of the games in Montgomery this past week, but COVID is on fire down here.
  17. CubinNY
    I hope the Ricketts are proud.

    Ernie Banks 1969 jersey is the only one I have. Mr Cub, and the year of my birth. I met him once, one of the genuinely nicest people in the world.

    Guess he wasn’t at Wrigley.

    Game
  21. CubinNY
    Lol
  22. CubinNY
    Lol LaRussa for batting Lynn there.
  23. CubinNY
    LaRussa looks like an old man watching Fox News.
  24. CubinNY
    Would be great for the LGBTQIA+ community but not sure how it’ll help the Cubs doh!
  25. CubinNY
    Oh horsefeathers, Suttcliff is on. I'm listening to the game on the radio
