    The same Yankees who just played in the World Series?
  3. Irrelevant Dude
    The joke's on them! Losing their 2nd AND 5th round picks. Good luck winning any games next year without those!

    What is the actual spend on that $51M annual salary considering the Mets luxury tax position?
  5. Irrelevant Dude
    It's gonna be hilarious in 10 years when the Mets still can't sign any more free agents because they have money tied up on Soto. Oh, wait. It's only the Cubs who operate like that.
  6. Irrelevant Dude
    Is it though? When is the next time a player like Soto is going to be available at his age? If you want to play with the big boys, you have to spend the money. Meanwhile, we sit back and hope that we hit on second and third tier lottery tickets.

    The same could be said for about 5 or 6 other teams as well. There are some really bad teams across the NFL this year.

    I fully expected a dead cat bounce this week. Boy, was I wrong.

    This book is likely still on a bookshelf in my parents' basement.

    I don't remember who the 5th starters were, but for my money it doesn't get much better than Maddux, Smoltz, Glavine, Avery + It is still hard to believe that group only won a single World Series.

    Can someone explain why we have all these "payroll blueprint" threads? What is a payroll blueprint? And why do we have 2023 threads being created a month or from 2025? Is there some sort of inside joke I'm missing out on?

    This is an incredibly stupid proposal, but a small part of me wants them to implement it to further expose Jed and his boring "good but not great players" roster construction. The Dodgers can get Shohei Ohtani an extra at bat per game while the Cubs are sending up... Ian Happ?

    Passing Game Coordinator to Offensive Coordinator to (Interim) Head Coach, all in less than three weeks. Thomas Brown is going to own the team by the end of the season.

    Welp, Eberflus took questions today, so I guess he's staying. If he was going to be fired, why allow him to hold his press conference? The answer is, he's not going to be fired because this organization is a horsefeathers show being held back by ownership.

    "I opened the jar perfectly and would do it the same way again."
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    This is it. If you don't acknowledge your mistakes, you will never improve. And he doubles down on every single mistake he makes.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    Pretty much. But the Cubs are also printing money. Just not at nearly the same level.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    Speculation on the radio earlier was that the Bears have been trying to limit the number of voices in Williams' ear, so maybe Brown was operating more behind the scenes on the overall passing scheme and not communicating directly with him.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    By the way, that summary was written by ChatGPT. Any issues with using that here?

    More information about "Chico Walker"
    Chico Walker played as a utility player for the Chicago Cubs during two separate stints: first from 1982 to 1983 and then from 1987 to 1990. Known for his versatility, Walker could play both infield and outfield positions, making him a valuable asset off the bench. Although he was not a regular starter, his speed and ability to switch-hit provided the Cubs with flexibility. Walker's best season with the Cubs was in 1988, when he hit .274 and stole 20 bases, offering a spark in limited playing time. His role on the team was primarily as a pinch-runner, pinch-hitter, and defensive replacement. Overall, Walker's career with the Cubs was marked by his adaptability and role as a utility player who could fill in as needed across multiple positions.

    He did say that, but if we're being real, what he said is probably true for EVERY team. There are always going to be some guys who work harder than others. It's just that the Bears are bringing that to the forefront by openly talking about things that other teams typically don't.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    I agree with this, but also I completely understand why it had to be done this way. Logistically, firing Eberflus in-season would be a huge problem. Not only do you have to replace your head coach, but in this case you would have to replace your defensive playcaller as well. And who could even take over as head coach? It would be one thing if they had experienced assistant coaches ready to step in and fill the gap, but I don't see anyone on this staff who could fill that role. Eberflus needs to be fired but, at least for now, he is still the best option to finish out the season.

    Mid tier pitching for a mid tier franchise. This checks out.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    Bad punt yes, but it was the rush that impacted it.
