    They never tried to deceive or paint a picture that wasn't an accurate reflection of their intentions. At the same time they cannot be naked and say we are going hard after player X or player Y is out of comfort. We pretty much know that Jed is going to look for value and try and sign players for what he thinks is a fair value. Those efforts will result in a competitive team that they hope will get to the ASB in good shape so they can add pieces. It's a risk, but it's a lower risk than signing Jason Heyward to his deal.

    because he's bad at his job.

    I'm ambivalent. He's a scoundrel and a pedophile. There is no reason why some statements to the effect of he bet on baseball and was banned couldn't go on the plaque. Same thing with all the PED guys. A simple statement, "he played in the Steroid Era." It should go on all the plaques of the guys from that era. But, whatever.

    It seems like Napoli, the bullpen coach, and some strength and conditioning dueds are the only ones getting the axe. Maybe Counsell doesn't like sleeve tats.

    I hope you don't think I was criticizing. The weirdness of baseball is one of the things that makes it so great.

    I’m going to say Philly vs NY WS Philly champs.

    I’m thinking if Cody opts in - Trade Nico + Caissie for TOR SP. Move Busch to 2nd, go after Vlad. Buy high leverage relievers. If Cody opts out- buy Fried and look to trade for a middle order bat. Get a lefter masher for the bench. Buy high leverage relief.

    Look at the Red Sox minor league system now. I wish Bloom stayed in Boston.

    raises hand.

    It's likely more complicated than one main variable. Weather + pitching matchups + balls + ? + ?. You'd have to do a regression analysis to get the relative contributions. But first, you'd have to get all the variables.

    awful. He was a true humanitarian.
  12. CubinNY
    I'm on the Fried train until he signs elsewhere and we smugly note how bad the contract is.
  13. CubinNY
    I'd be over the moon if that happened.

    The Mets and Braves should agree to a mutual forfeit and not play the games.
  16. CubinNY
    Always a sad day even during a ****** season
  17. CubinNY
    Umps want to get this one done.
  18. CubinNY
    I’m watching the Vikings and Green Bay. Both teams will crush the Bears. The offense of the Bears is incompetent. Like a different game.

    I want Kilian to have a great game. He seems so capable but he can’t miss bats. I don’t have a lot of confidence he’s ever going to make it as a starter.
  20. CubinNY
    Williams is going to be a multi millionaire before he ever gets drafted. Good, lord.
  21. CubinNY
    Kyle was consistently good as a Cubs pitcher longer than anyone I can remember. Obviously Maddux and Fergie are HOF, but they spent some of their best years elsewhere. Last 40 years, he’s the Cubs best pitcher factoring in longevity.
  22. CubinNY
    Sounds like a great experience listening to Jed excuse make like Jim Hendry. I’m sorry I’m missing it
  23. CubinNY
    You are missing the forest through the trees.
  24. CubinNY
    Is that Len?
  25. CubinNY
    This is it. Cubs have among the highest concession prices in baseball. Everything they do is designed to drain the fan of money. Even their 50/50 “charity” is funded by their fans. Every square inch of Wrigley looks like a NASCAR vehicle. The food is below fast food standard quality and everyone knows how much a beer costs at the bar. There is making a profit and then there is gouging. It’s a decision on their part. Whatever, I don’t have to go so I don’t, but I wish I wanted to. I love Wriggle or at least I used to.
