  1. Sure would have been nice if the Brewers at least had to use their good relievers today...
  2. I definitely had faith in Carl that whole inning and didn't turn to the football game with disgust and resignation.
  3. I'm looking forward to a relaxed, stress free October.
  4. Billy Williams and his two grandsons is a pretty great euphemism
  5. That's the dumbest thing I've ever read. Same price, same cost in picks, but don't have him for this year? Why? Not to mention the other teams that probably would have traded for him if the Bears said "we'll wait until next spring".
  6. Why in the world would Epstein want Girardi? What is it about Girardi’s managerial style that anyone would thInk is a good fit for this Cubs franchise? Im not saying he does or will hire Girardi or even let Maddon go, just saying that it a possibility it could happen if they dont want to extend Maddon pass 2019.. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk So you are not saying it will happen, but it could happen? Huh?
  7. I wonder if it would be possible to have a handshake deal in place, decline the option, Texas pays the buyout, then resign him for a few years with a reasonable aav. Not even sure if that is legal. I wonder what he'd get on the open market.
  8. Is anyone dying to see Montgomery!? I got two tickets as a gift and never really bothered to see if anyone wanted to go until and have nobody to give it to at this late all hour. 200s. Free! You'll have to sit next to me though.
  9. Among the WAR top ten leaderboard from 2013 (arbitrary) to present is Josh Donaldson, Jose Altuve, Paul Goldschmidt, and Matt Carpenter, and none of them made it onto a BP top 101 list.
  10. Had anyone joked about how this game is being played in the upside-down?
  11. What is the benefit of taking one of those guys later instead of with this pick?
  12. I got mine today! Yay!
  13. This thread grates on me way more than it should, which is probably not at all. Dernier was just decent for only a year and Kenny Lofton was a Cub for only a couple months. These leadoff combos were not deserving of nicknames. Like at all. Why is this making me so angry? In summary, the nickname "daily double" is dumb, but if it is used, it should be used only for leadoff combos that are together for at least three years, and are actually really good for those three years. Otherwise it's meaningless and who cares. And I don't know why I'm posting this because Almora and Baez are already not a thing, which I guess puts them not to far off from the Lofton and Grudzielanek and Dernier Sandberg tandems, which were barely things (I'm not saying Sandberg want a thing, I'm just saying his thingness has nothing to do with batting second behind stupid Bob Dernier).
  14. I was just thinking how it would have been nice if Ohtani picked the Cubs, because we could have avoided the Darvish debacle, but then I realized I was crazy for thinking Ohtani wouldn't suck too if he was a Cub.
  15. What happens if a position player is ejected with an empty bench?
  16. I just realized that former top prospect gingers might be a market inefficiency that Theo has been trying to exploit. Are there any more?
  17. I vote that Butler gets to exclusively face this Wallach guy all year.
  18. Poor Maybin has fallen so far that he doesn't even get to start on this team.
