  1. so long as he has the beard, he can through 75 if he wants to
  2. Because Gordon is much, much better. Fowler was actually better this year from a fWAR perspective, and Gordon is older and will be more expensive. Presumably this would be with the eye on moving him to CF, which hurts his value further. Gordon is a fine player but giving a 32 year old a 5 year deal to try a more demanding position they have never played doesn't seem like this FO's style. Which is to say that I don't believe this rumor for a second. Sherman + no local reporting on it makes it pretty likely to be an Agent just dropping the name of a team that'll spend money. I love the idea of Schwarber, Gordon, and Soler in the OF. By June, they're just going to stand there and look at each other when a ball is hit to the gap and Addison is going to have to run all the way out to the wall to retrieve it like the kid brother in a sandlot league. Then they'll come to the plate and hit dong dong dong and all will be forgiven.
  3. Looks like he lost a bet to Jed
  4. Isn't he a FA this year? if you love him so much, why don't you marry him
  5. Schwarber - LF Soler - RF Rizzo - 1B Bryant - 3B Castro - 2B Miggy - C Baez - CF P Russell - SS Arrieta Lester Price FA#2 Hendricks why not
  6. I can't see those two in the same outfield. You'd have to get some sort of superhero in center. Kris Bryant
  7. This is the best I've ever felt at the end of a Cubs season. Fatalism can suck it.
  8. yes. i was the one that banned you.
  9. ok well if your prior requests were rejected and you were finally unbanned within hours of being asked back to RK... of course, that's not the point. the point seemed fairly obvious. Tim was surprised that he got a little push back by inviting a previously permabanned poster to mange in the league. I don't think it's surprising that someone that's been banned from nsbb might get some skepticism. If Tim said "hey, I just added meph. he's been really successful in fantasy leagues, so I'm sure he'll be great" there might be some folks here that questioned the decision.
  10. well, i mean, you had to undo his permaban from nsbb to bring him back. so
  11. new registrations were down for like a decade. let's not go back to the dark times.

    so we can make sure we have mangers for all the teams. why is this so hard?

    I feel like there's a point you're trying to make. are you being dense on purpose? the point is obvious. as i already mentioned above, we haven't confirmed that all managers are returning yet (why it matters). so it would make sense to do nothing for the time being. there's no urgency, since the season hasn't even ended. I didn't say we had to wait until spring; i suggested we wait for the season to end, then confirm we have a full boat of managers before we start making trade proposals. as was the case last year, i'm sure within seconds of getting the ok to make trade proposals, you'll have a trade or two already done.

    why are people even making offers? this is the same thing that happened last year. so damn weird.

    can we at least wait until the season ends. jesus with the trades already. we haven't even had all the managers confirm they're returning.
  17. Greinke settled in now. Still think he and Kershaw have the higher potential to just dominate 4 games.
  18. When Schwarber wins the WS with a big fat dong and uses his bat to club to death every player on the other team and half their fans, I expect every one of these talking heads to defend him
  19. I'm the same age and he is easily the best Cub to play in our lives and the only thing that made them relevant and competitive for years. He's awesome and those that hated on him are idiots and the owner is a douche for shunning him. I'm 37 and you guys are old as dirt
  20. you've heard about the 2016 rule that all patrons must be wearing shorts right?
  21. He pretty clearly doesn't want attention. Why would he want to do that?
