On Twitter, they're making it out like he threw a hissy fit when Joe yanked him. True?

KB is such a good all around player.

am i crazy or didn't that move happen before lester (after which he wrote his article saying we wouldn't contend) Yeah, I think Hammel was very early in the offseason. We were surprised he'd take that deal from us that early into FA.

@jessicadelp3: So what you are all telling me is wake him up by pouring champagne on him & jumping up & down on the bed?? Only fitting right?! (KB's GF) Jake, Dexter, and their wives were watching together.

Love all you [expletive]!

I've pretty much given up entirely and just chalk it all up to "pitchers are weird." If we had traded for him(and probably had given up something of value), the wtf's and lol's would have been rampant. Then he does this [expletive] for us? I'd be thrilled with him as our 3rd playoff starter by now most likely. If he has another good start or two before the season ends, what the hell does a 5 start streak get him in FA?(and no, I have zero interest in us going after him)

The longest con in baseball history? Hell, he added an inning and a K to it too. And a hit. I mean.....Baseball. But come on, this is odd.

Rich Hill went 9, allowed 2 hits,a walk, and K'd 10. 3 starts, 23IP, 10H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, and 30k.. What the [expletive] [expletive].

Martinez just left after 7 pitches for the Cards.

Refresh my memory: Will the WC game just go in normal rotation or do we choose our ace? Same with the rest of the playoffs, for that matter?

Eh, glad to get that scenario out of the way now. 22 and 23 year olds can and will learn from situations like this.

I just read it. Wish I hadn't.

http://www.statcorner.com/CatcherReport.php Miggy is 6th, Ross is 11th. Kyle is 77th, out of 116. Pretty cool to have 2 guys that high on the list.

I'm not the biggest DiCaro fan but she's getting a lot of [expletive] for nothing on her Twitter feed. She's always been neutral through all of this giving her lawyer POV and (probably) wrongly trusted the accuser's lawyer (not the worst thing in the world) Has she been neutral though? Hasn't she been in favor of them cutting or trading Kane all along?(I'm asking, because she litters my timeline so much in these instances, I don't come close to reading them all) By wanting that(if I'm right on her), doesn't that basically put her on the girls side? Again, not a hockey fan and if this happened to a Cub, I'd hate it and wouldn't know where I'd stand on the player being on the team or not(at this pre trial stage). But if you want the guy off the team, pre trial and before anything is actually known, it seems to me she does have her mind made up. If my thinking is wrong here, I'm more than willing to listen and learn otherwise. Nah, don't think she's ever mentioned cutting him. They were leaning more towards wanting to suspend him for (at least) training camp since it keeps giving him a platform to proclaim his innocence to millions and essentially call her a liar whenever he gets asked a question while she has to stay nameless and quiet. Ah OK, it's shown up in my timeline so much, I thought it was her, since I don't have much else in it that'd talk about hockey. My bad.

I'm not a hockey fan and typically stay out of stuff like this- But him withdrawing, has to hurt her case, right? Even if he's pinning this on the mother, it just seems like this can't help the girl in any way whatsoever, right?

RIP Yogi

I didn't see this anywhere, but Dusty is under serious consideration for the Marlins job.

What'd he say?

This [expletive] team......Most fun I've ever had during a Cubs season.

i mean...he was an usher or something for a while all i know of him at this point is that he writes for some chicago sports blog that nobody reads Ah, for some reason I was thinking he worked in the marketing department or something.

I wasn't really on this board much when Roast was here? Does he work for the Cubs or something like that?

I like Kobayashi dammit
