Gonna miss you Rizz ...no tears, just applause for all the awesomeness you brought to Chicago :clapping:

Now that is funny. [emoji23] Funny, yes, but probably not the way he intended. I'll take Laughable Comparisons for $100, Alex.

This was after Game 7, Rosenthal was interviewing Baez when Lester interrupted and gave Baez a bear hug, telling him repeatedly "I'm so proud of you" or some such. Awesome scene, I've been looking for that too.

That faint Javy chant was freakin awesome :)

http://www.camdenchat.com/2016/7/31/12334468/brian-matusz-start-cubs-orioles-failure What if he actually does well? I have to confess to you, I am not a big enough person to wish him well in this start, or in any start he might make for the Cubs. If even Brian Matusz, colossal disappointment that he generally was, could be revived by another organization, what then? Add that to the apparent salvaging of Miguel Gonzalez with the White Sox and the well-documented Jake Arrieta breakout over the past couple of years with the Cubs, and the only reasonable conclusion that one could draw from that is that everyone responsible for developing and evaluating pitchers in the entire Orioles organization would have to be fired, along with everyone responsible for the continuing employment of those people. Some stains cannot be erased.

Most have probably seen this by now, but for those who haven't: http://deadspin.com/why-prosecutors-didnt-bring-charges-against-aroldis-cha-1754305230 The word "choking" is gross exaggeration from what this report describes. And to say Chapman "isn't remorseful" is pretty presumptuous imo.

Friedman + McNutt + $millions >> Theo

That was shot from on top of the Tribune Tower, across the river and almost 500 feet above the ground... holy crap that was awesome.

The five-hole pic is just awesome.

Lou was as cryptic as ever there. Z will be back in the rotation by June 1. There is no effin way El Toro accepted a long relief role.

The cop had every right to use the taser in that situation and the doofus deserved to get tasered. But it would have been more impressive if the cop had Heather Locklear's nightstick skilz at 0:54:

Yeah, just look at Paul Sullivan or Jay Mariotti. Hopefully the OP is aiming higher. There will always be demand for sports journalists as long as there as sports fans.

This. If Selig & Co want to be creative, I wish they would figure out a way to get some kind of salary cap past the MLBPA, without a floor. I know I know, when pigs fly :pig:

I loved the 'We Got Kyle' t-shirts with Kerry out for the year.

Amen to that... Jimmy Ballgame #2, Gary Gaetti #3. The summers of 08, 03 and 98 were very rare good times to be a Cubs fan. Can't wait for 2013 I guess. About Edmonds, I'll never forget his little bat flip toward Larussa after crushing a Looper fastball. I think it was a home game in August. Jimmy went yard twice that day, and came out for a curtain call after the 2nd, Cubs ended up winning 3-2. Cards fans I know openly admitted how much that game ripped their hearts out.
