    Joc can hit lefties

    High prices, somewhat short notice to go to full capacity. I'm a little surprised it's that low but not surprised it wasn't a sellout.

    Longest Cubs AB to result in a homer in the history of pitch-count tracking (since 1988), Boog just informed us.
  4. Andy
    That was easily the best shot of the month for Anthony Rizzo. OK, puns aside, that was horsefeathering cool.
  5. Andy
    Rizzo and Tom are really ruining 100% capacity day with this BS I'd give anything for Boog or JD to offhandedly ask, "Boy Tom, you definitely wouldn't have ordered Darvish traded if you'd known we'd be at full capacity this soon, huh?"

    Yep I’m still mad at KB swinging at that 3-2 in the first inning. It feels like he does that more often when they send the runner, which of course flies in the face of the entire reason they send the runner (because of Bryant's normally good eye).

    With NIL, the 'for free' part will be somewhat mitigated. As others have pointed out, it wouldn't be hard to envision an 'appearance fee' type of situation from bowl organizers.

    They already did, and it turned the schedule into Clemson (who was on the 2020 schedule before COVID), North Carolina and 9 ridiculously boring opponents. The first 2 of those were pretty cool, the rest of it was a slog. lol - join a better conference ACC grant of rights through 2036, so that's not an option. I should've known better than to even allude to this topic on this board.

    I would agree that having Ross or Hoyer come out and publicly horsefeathers on the unvaxxed players wouldn't get them to get the shot or play any better. But the fact of the matter is, not getting the shot, unless a medical professional tells you you shouldn't, is a horsefeathering stupid and selfish decision, and people are going to point it out.

    My objection to emphasizing the postseason over the regular season is well documented on this board, but I'm glad they picked 12 instead of 8. I think between the two, 12 is far better. I'm less than thrilled with the proviso that the top 4 conference champs will automatically receive the top 4 seeds, which means Notre Dame can't get a bye no matter how good a regular season it has, but considering the ND athletic director was literally on the subcommittee that came up with this idea, I guess they have no one to blame but themselves for that one. Just join a conference already lol They already did, and it turned the schedule into Clemson (who was on the 2020 schedule before COVID), North Carolina and 9 ridiculously boring opponents.

    Kemba Walker trade: Five hypothetical deals involving Celtics guard I don't much care for Kemba, but that seems like a lot for Boston to give up for one pretty good starter and two guys that are mostly roster filler.

    This makes me so horsefeathering happy. I liked 8 team, but I'll take 12 team for sure. Maybe Michigan will make it one year.

    This wouldn't start until at least the 2023 season, but here we go.

    It just makes me mad that Darvish and Caratini are kicking our asses in this series instead of the other way around. There's just no good reason they shouldn't still be wearing blue.

    if you don't know how to answer a yes or no question . . . He was 8 million percent using it in Houston, as was probably their entire rotation

    Here are the hats. They do not have the sleeve logo on them.

    Cheeky thread title aside, my assumption was everyone here thinks Ben is probably the bad guy

    The best I can say about these is that at least they aren't wildly different colors than the Cubs' usual colors.

    They are divorced and from what I can tell via her Instagram posts, she is Woke. And not so subtly implying in a couple of posts that their marriage fell apart at least in part because he isn't.

    The [expletive] on Aramis for not hustling thing was something a ton of Chicago media did and it drove me horsefeathering insane not only because it didn't matter, but Aramis actually did bust it down the line a few times when he maybe shouldn't have and ended up injuring his hamstring, which is probably why he had refrained from 'hustling' in the first place.

    Du-rag isn’t inherently derogatory. As many have noted, it’s a very common thing worn by African-American men. It’s the way that Brenly felt compelled to point out an old great like Tom Seaver wouldn’t have ever worn one that made the comment racist. It was a pointed comment on how the game has changed, and implied not for the better. Fwiw, I don’t think it was meant to be racist. But it was insensitive. So the sensitivity training feels appropriate here. Yeah, I think Bob was just making a joke, but it wasn't a good one, and considering the source it felt worse than it might have coming from someone without this kind of history.

    No one tried to advance because they thought the ball was caught. If the ump never made a call, which I assume he didn't, that's on those guys.

    Marquee should probably do some quality control before posting Tweets that are from Cincinnati-based users who use the hashtag #ATOBTTR (And This One Belongs to the Reds)

    Did strong play inspire that move? I had always been under the impression that the bullpen being a catastrophic pile of suck led to that move. We also traded for Castellanos 7 weeks later with Theo basically talking Ricketts into forking over a couple million to pay for him.
