    5 rim protector centers in the first 17 picks. I was not aware the NBA time traveled to 1975.

    Can't shoot, not a great rebounder, not a good passer, gets bullied on defense, learned how to play basketball from video games. Obvious lottery pick.

    Would have vastly preferred KJ. The pick is a combine darling who doesn't do basketball things especially well, so he's a project.

    USMNT dominates an easy Gold Cup group, beating T&T, Saudi Arabia and Haiti to win their group and advance to the knockout round. The bracket is set up so the US would next play whoever loses this Costa Rica-Mexico game, which is currently 0-0 in the second half and could result in a hilarious quarter if Mexico falls asleep a bit here...

    Wouldn't be a true Sammy Sosa day without a corresponding McGuire HR.

    Just saw that MLB posted updated All-Star vote totals, and the NL votes are suitably hilarious, with a Cub in the top 5 at every position: https://www.mlb.com/news/2025-mlb-all-star-ballot-first-update

    Stephen A Smith really focused in the 4th quarter of a close Finals game, so he can provide that hard hitting analysis we all expect.

    Vaughn is a DH that hits like a pitcher. He's been in the minors since mid May because he was OPSing in the 500s, and has accumulated a total of -1.8 fWAR for his career. That the White Sox thought he was a valuable piece for so long speaks more of the White Sox complete ineptitude.

    I really think FIFA should revoke the US's hosting privileges, just hold it all in Canada and Mexico and ban the USMNT from the event. It's not safe for people from other countries to be here anyway, it's a perfectly reasonable position to have right now.

    To keep 2016 in perspective, as of June 6 in 2016, the Cubs were 40-16 and had a 10 game lead in the division, and a 6 game lead on the entire league. They weren't just the best team, they were the best team by far, and nobody else was close.

    Pacers now 5-3 in this postseason when trailing by 15 at some point during the game.

    However, the Cubs will end the day tied for the fewest losses in MLB since the Tigers lost. And if the Dodgers beat the Mets, the Cubs will have the best record in the NL alone.
  13. bukie
    The Reds beat the Brewers.

    Uhh, Jed was the Cubs GM in 2016.

    It's clearly not that simple, exemplified by Javy's 119 wRC+ this season, a good 4 years after you assert the league "figured him out"

    I still have a soft spot for Pirates trades from when the Cubs fleeced them in 2003, acquiring Kenny Lofton and Aramis Ramirez for Bobby Hill and Matt Bruback.
  17. bukie
    I'm sure it probably wouldn't happen, but I do wonder what it'd take to try to get Skenes from the Pirates, as they're a mess right now, not ready to compete and the farm system isn't looking great.

    The 13 runs the Cubs scored was a season high against the Reds this year. For the Cubs, it was the third time in a week they've scored at least 13.

    Fun fact, USA hockey has never won the world championships (they won the Olympics in 1960 when it doubled as the world championship)

    RIP George Wendt.

    I would greatly enjoy it if Bauer is picked #24. Cmon, Tigers, make it happen.

    I have a part question, part "whew we are old now" post: Young bukie (who didn't exist until 4 years into the board's existence and is pictured in avatar from a long time ago), now a 17yo senior in high school is curious about the draft potential of three Lincoln way area IL prep arms that he's caught all of in the past year+, Jack Bauer (LW East), Conor Essenburg (LW West) and Luke Mensik (LW Central). Any chance all 3 get their name called early enough in the draft to stick with a pro team? (And no, young bukie is not going to have his name called and will have to settle for playing C in college next year)

    Deion Sanders was a HOF player with an attitude that quickly wore thin on teams, which was why he bounced around so often. If Shedeur Sanders inherited all his father's attitude (and keep in mind, his dad has been his coach his entire life) but hasn't backed it up with the skill, how many teams do you think would just "nope" out in advance?

    It would be a very Raiders thing to select Sanders here with one of their b2b picks at the end of the 3rd.
