Well, you're just as pretty as any of them. You just need a nose job.

It's probably too popular but the "just write it off" back and forth gets me every time.

Idk if it was mentioned in the gam thread but it would have been pretty much a guaranteed success if they did it after Maddon was arguing the potential double play at 3rd for two hours.

Hoping he hits a homer so he will be forever known as Dong Roach.

Obviously not making any proclamations since it's so early, but Yoan Moncada so far in A-ball: .215/.305/.312

Bleh. I think I'm going to just hold off on the tickets. Even if the game gets in, I've still got a 1.5-2 hour drive back that with my luck will be filled with hail. That said, now that I'm not going, I feel confident in calm skies and sunshine because weather.

All 3 of those players look embarassed.

Anybody have a good guess on the weather? Really want to get tickets with my friends but I'm tight on cash and really don't want it getting tied up in a rainout.

Yeah, you guys are right. WGN's Twitter defending themselves.

Can't they just put a small box with the game on? You are paying a lot of money to air these games. Put it on CLTV or the U or something for those that want to watch the game. From what I've read on Twitter it sounds like the power outage screwed up the WGN video feed.

Im probbly missing one or two but I feel like that might be Bryant's first oppo homerun. Good to see since that's where he usually tries to go.

It wasn't troll bait, and you're better than calling it that. Some things are good, some things are bad. We all know the good things. I can list them again if you *really* want. But that doesn't mean we can ignore the bad things. Starlin Castro is a sucking wasteland. We're still lightyears behind the Cardinals. Almora and Baez are on the quick train to Busttown. In Theo Epstein's *fourth* season, we still might not be a playoff team. I'm not saying everything is terrible and bad. I'm saying that maybe, just maybe, it isn't trolling to not effusively praise him for tanking three seasons to give us a team with the 13th best run differential in baseball. I could somewhat agree with you if you ever proposed any good alternatives. You usually just wanted them to spend because they could. A quick search shows one of your grand offseason plans was to make a big trade for David Wright, immediately extend him 6 years, sign BJ Upton for like 16 million a year, and give Shaun Marcum 3/30 and Ryan Madson 10 mill. And if we missed out on Upton, push hard for Michael Bourne. I might be wrong but I thought you also were pushing hard for us to resign Shark so we could maintain some semblance of a rotation. I'm not saying you're any worse at predicting the future than anyone else, because I know you could look back on most of us and find awful plans. But realistically, most of your offseason plans would have us dreaming about what the Dominic Smith's of this world could become instead of the Bryant's and Schwarber's, all while we are stuck with a bloated ass payroll unable to sign the Lester's or Price's. If you are going to very likely suck, just suck and don't try to half ass some team that has a prayer at being within a few games of .500. If they botched the picks (and it absolutely was a high risk plan), then I would criticize, but there's a good chance they went 2/3 on those picks (Happ TBD) and it's not like either were consensus picks.

thats what im saying cant we do like a 10-2 run or something. 2 modest 5 game winning streaks. We've already had a 6 game streak and 8/10. They aren't easy.

Delarosa is at 2B for Eugene, so it might be a matter of fitting the best players together most simply. Especially since I imagine Happ will not be long for Eugene. Yeah, it'll be interesting to follow. I mentioned it back in the draft thread, but the Cubs seemed to be really pushing how fast he timed for them in his private workout which gave me a hunch they might try him in CF. It's not like it would take much of an adjustment to slide him to LF if it doesn't work out (unless they try the 2B route).

Holy [expletive]. I forgot about this scene and how awesomely it applies right now. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=hxszN_1k6fQ Edit: just saw it a few pages back, oh well.

"That white guy with long hair"

Glorious dong.

"It" or The Thing.

Thank you Baxter for ensuring Schwarber gets one more AB.

Yeah, the big cat dude has been on CSN before filling in for Kap and Haugh when they can't do it. Probably still know nothing, but there's at least a chance that they have better connections than the average person. That said, I have no idea about this Carl guy.

He's just responding to my Happ in CF idea, saying that Dewees will probably start in CF and they will both be at the same level for awhile. Don't think he's implying anything about it influencing picks.

I keep hearing that the Cubs were surprised with how fast Happ timed at their private workout. Makes me wonder if they try to go the CF route with him, which would be really intriguing.

For kicks and giggles: Happ: .369/.492/.672 -14 HR - 49:49 BB/K Schwarber: .358/.464/.659 - 14 HR - 44:30 BB/K
