  1. He was the first player who made me realize the Cubs ownership and FO was complete horsefeathers. Naive days of youth.
  2. Me too. In any case, it would have been stupid to trade AD this week. Why trade him for the Lakers roster sans LBJ if you can drive up the price this summer.
  3. It’s been a theme on local radio here. I don’t mind being aggressive and letting the most accurate passer in NFL history try to make a play. The Saints blew several chances in that game. Mike Thomas was there for a TD on that drive and Drew didn’t see him.
  4. You’re comparing a missed strike two in an AB where a dude grounded out and a missed play at the plate in the bottom of the 9th. was the Saints WR in the endzone? how can you say it absolutely would have altered the game? Dude, it would have made it first and goal from about the 5 yard line with 1:45 to go and the Rams with only 1 TO. It would have all but sealed the game. The Saints could have run 3 times to take the clock down to roughly 15 seconds and if they didn't score, just kick a FG to win.
  5. Just shut up. The refs blew several calls in favor of the saints. You can't compare a missed facemask call or hold, etc, with a blatant blown call at the point of attack in that game situation. You guys would be blowing a gasket if that were against the Bears. It was a blatant a miss as I've ever seen, especially given the circumstances.
  6. I just don't understand how you miss that call. It was as blatant as it gets. God, I hate sports.
  7. I can do without the music, but this is pretty funny.
  8. They are similar to 2016 because they put Rizzo there for 25% of the season and he put up a .979 OPS at leadoff. This is a problem to idiots because Rizzo is a "cleanup hitter" and not a "leadoff hitter", as if either of those are things after the 1st inning Agree, but don’t you think there’s something to be said for having someone on base ahead of your best hitters? Sure, Rizzo did fine there, but then you’re taking his bat away in potential RBI situations.
  9. Per ESPN
  10. Yes. I cannot believe that Theo would go all in Yu, Chatwood and Hamels if it meant he'd miss out on Harper.
  11. This is more about Clemson than BAMA tonight. Absolutely
  12. Holy god, this is great. I don't get it :(
  13. This is PRECISELY how Mormons operate. Ever been to a Mormon Dance? No, but I do like movies about gladiators. Holy god, this is great.
  14. Just go ahead and hire Jerry Glanville and Rob Ryan and become a total clown show, please.
  15. “retires”
  16. I mean it was a gamble, but one that allowed them to get a pitcher with elite closer upside at an affordable rate. And he did just that for half a season, maybe he can do that for another half of a season. But I don't hate the move, especially because the Cubs built a pretty deep pen around him with Cishek, Strop, Edwards, Wilson, Monty (forgetting someone?) and supplementing during the season with Chavez when Morrow was still healthy. They certainly had plenty of depth to sustain the injury. Even when Strop went down and Edwards completely lost it, the Cubs were able to put together some semblance of a decent pen. That decision to bat Strop when he subsequently pulled his hammy pisses me off every time I think about it.
  17. Maybe he doesnt speak Spanish? Jeebus, lighten up. Really? He's comparing having to be exposed to the spanish language with being forced conservative propoganda from sinclair. And I'm the one that needs to lighten up? Well, when you put it that way, it sounds pretty bad, but you’re assigning that narrative to his post. I am assuming he just as well could have said French TV, but then a French TV network isn’t as recognizable as Univision. I don’t know, but then I’m not the one jumping on his post as some “gotcha” moment either. Not trying to single you out here. I just absolutely hate that type of discourse between Dems, eating our own. There are plenty of real things to be bothered by without some harmless comment being demonized and framed in the worst possible light. So yeah, please lighten up and don’t pile onto anything you can possibly construe as insensitive. It’s dumb politically speaking and it’s just silly.
  18. What is the perceived negative connotation about Univision to which you are referring? Maybe he doesnt speak Spanish? Jeebus, lighten up.
  19. Were you supposed to? Do you study other org’s minors? What message board is this again? Of course people here study other org’s systems.
  20. He’s not. The sequence at the end of the first half when he was posing after a first down while the clock was ticking, then he throws a red zone pick was pure Cam.
  21. Never thought a few weeks ago that the Saints D would be carrying the offense.
  22. Flipping back and forth I haven’t heard the Cubs mentioned once at all.
  23. Nm
