    It’s a 60 game season. Who — and I can’t stress this enough — cares?

    Seems wrong for Kiley to use the phrase "pitching starved" when describing the suddenly gaunt AF Folty.

    I'd be very surprised if he wasn't getting into meth. He has that face. I hope he gets help.

    If Starlin Castro came back to the Cubs for 1 month in 2020 you think it’d be weird for him to be a fan favorite? You, in April 2004: lmaoooo how is Greg Maddux your favorite?! but castro and maddux were actually good That’s a whole different conversation. There are a lot of average to bad players who are people’s favorite player.

    He was on the '03 Cubs for one month. He was your favorite Cub in '03 because of what he did in 1996? If Starlin Castro came back to the Cubs for 1 month in 2020 you think it’d be weird for him to be a fan favorite? You, in April 2004: lmaoooo how is Greg Maddux your favorite?!

    You're only off by about 4 years, but who's counting. He was on the '03 Cubs for one month. He was your favorite Cub in '03 because of what he did in 1996? If Starlin Castro came back to the Cubs for 1 month in 2020 you think it’d be weird for him to be a fan favorite?

    I'll allow it.

    100% this. I felt like I was in on a secret and it was so much fun.

    Yes, I am sure that the all-time leader in K/9 doesn't know how to fool batters.

    Even though he never started a game I think he was arguably 5th most important player on that second three peat. Assuming you have Toni at 4?

    That was really, really unfunny. I don't know if SNL was always unfunny and I didn't realize it or if it just got really unfunny but I couldn't agree more. Who tf thought people would laugh at that?

    "Stuff like this happens." is an incredible comment.

    I had not heard this before. This is for real? That's nuts. http://graphics.chicagotribune.com/james-jordan-murder/index.html

    I wonder how in-depth they're going to get on the James Jordan murder. There are a lot of bizarre details that raise questions. He was driving from Wilmington to Charlotte at around midnight and... pulled over to the side of the road to take a nap? He was allegedly shot in his car when he woke up but there wasn't clear evidence of blood in the car. His family didn't report him missing for 21 days. His birthday took place during this span. His body was found in a swamp tens of miles away from where he was allegedly killed. His body wasn't immediately identifiable so he was cremated as a John Doe and identified using dental records later. The second call made from his car phone was to the son of the sheriff's deputy, who was also a drug trafficker and a friend of the investigator. My guess is that they are going to gloss over it, but a documentary could be made just about the murder itself. Even the 30 for 30 on Jordan's retirement was more about the retirement than this case.

    Is it just me or is Reinsdorf going to be completely let off the hook in all of this? He couldn't have just fired Krause if he was causing so many issues with the team?
  17. ConstableRabbit
    There are many ways to answer your question, but the $3.2B figure isn't the best. It's not a "return," it's a valuation. A simplified example is you buy a house for $100k. You do some renovations for $20k over a 10 year period. Over that timeframe, the real estate market heats up and the neighborhood becomes more valuable. Today, a real estate agent tells you that the house is worth $150k. This fact alone doesn't change your income or cash position.

    Yeah, I'm watching it and the quick hook on Hendricks still pisses me off. The bad call from the ump on a clear strike 3 before Maddon pulls Hendricks also pisses me off... We came so close to blowing this lead lol. I used to defend him, but I'm so glad Maddon is gone now. Lester came in and was dominant. Ross is the guy you should be mad at.

    You know what else the Dodgers and Braves have in common in that timeframe? Lol I'm just objectively mentioning facts from the MLB Pipeline tweet for people unaware of farm system rankings of the past few years. Some of you guys here are so damn quick to counter any praise of rival teams, especially the Dodgers. Again, it's kinda sad and pathetic. You won't be banished from Cubs' fandom for saying something nice (or true) about a rival team. It was a joke. Lighten up, francis.

    Would Bryant even accept that deal? 215 means way more to the brewers than 250-300 does to the cubs but it's not really about bryant himself. just the fact that the brewers are willing to go all out while the red sox and cubs are cheaping out on legendary players. The market doesn't care what team you play for and this comparison is misguided. How many times have they had a payroll above MLB average over the past several years while the Cubs were top 5? They play in a publicly-funded stadium and also have a rich (albeit not billionaire) owner. $215m means more to the Brewers because they've cheaped out on everything about their team for years while the Cubs have spent across the board.

    https://www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2020-02-27/cubs-channel-that-fans-can-t-see-symbolizes-sports-network-woes? I admittedly have no idea how Marquee's lack of carriage could affect the Cubs' revenue, but 'more than double' sure shoots a hole in the idea that 'this network isn't an immediate money boost and that's why we have to sit out another off-season'. To be fair, the article says it's more than double per year on average; they don't say what it is for next season.

    This happens every time there are negotiations. Let’s see where they are in a few weeks.

    Occam’s Razor would imply that if we think the FO is sharp, if they did do that trade either: 1. They don’t think Nolan is just slightly better moving forward 2. It’s not such a big contract after the Rockies throw in cash I really, really dislike this reasoning. It's basically just "we know they don't make mistakes because if they do it, it's not a mistake." Mistakes are one thing. You’re questioning the logic/reasoning behind it which is silly. “Why would they do something I’ve clearly laid out as so stupid!” Well...
