  1. Yes the way Sharma explained that injury it almost sounded like cancer or something. It is such a weird injury.
  2. They had to get special permission to offer Bregman a contract everyone knew he would reject. Maybe the clan (could also be spelled with a k) sits down with Jed around the ASB and says we have X amount to give you... but they already said they are at the top of their budget.
  3. I think any money they spend is contingent on Jed talking Tommy Boy into taking on more salary and Tommy Boy and the sibs agreeing. I don't think a pot of money is sitting there.
  4. It's hard to say that anything translates especially for cold weather teams. Jamo's first year with the Cubs I think he walked one guy in ST and had an ERA under 3. Then regular season hit and he was not good, not awful, but not good.
  5. Head for the mountants with Busch
  6. Jaguar with a double.
  7. Padres announcers said Santo took the day off today. He meant Coomer, but still. Santo's been taking the day off for over a decade.
  8. Brown getting knocked around pretty well in his 2nd inning. Can't keep the ball down
  9. When I travel to NY on the show, I always play one game at the Polo Grounds. Can you imagine a park like that right in Manhattan?
  10. Prepare for your heart to be broken. That's about 1/6 of the total payroll the Ricketts plans to pay year over year. Tommy Boy said multiple times he doesn't want to pay for past performance, so here we are.
  11. I though he was a switch hitter.
  12. that's a good guess.
  13. The player has the patch on from the Wrigley anniversary so that is a giveaway. I'm going to say the dearly departed Luis Valbuena.
  14. I read a blurb that said Nico is just now starting to throw. If Shaw isn’t ready either due to injury it’s going to be a real struggle at the onset of the season.
  15. I like how they talk about all these ****** pitchers the Cubs brought in for ST to get work as “depth”.
  16. True story- Darvish’s neighbor sued him for putting up a wood fence instead of an iron fence at his house in Evanston.
  17. Big Mo looks like gained 15 pounds in 3days. The pin stripes aren’t his thing.
  18. Alcantara has a nice balanced swing
  19. He seems smug, and I feel for him, sort of. However, he can't spend his way out of this, even though that would make the team better in the near and midterm. Given the boundaries, it's his job to put the pieces together, and he hasn't done it well. He's not awful, but he's not good. When he leaves, we will see him in a different light—I think that depends on who they find to replace him. Andrew Freedman can run a small organization as well as a large one, and I don't think Carter Hawkins is all that much, either.
  20. I remember when ESPN started and they had demolition derby and bunch of other stuff. Now they have cornhole tournaments. Life is a flat circle in the declining stages of capitalism.
  21. Corey Patterson?
  22. Jed got a foot out the door already
  23. Kim looks like a high schooler.
