Most of my order has shipped now but there is no rhyme or reason why certain things are being shipped and others aren't and it's arriving in like 5 different packages. I'm beginning to suspect these folks don't have things perfectly organized.

Love seeing some MACtion in the spotlight. Hopefully WMU doesn't go the route of 2008 Ball State (still bitter about this) and 2013 NIU down the stretch.

It's a good thing the Cubs won the World Series because holy horsefeathers Carolina.

It's going to be fun as a 3rd party observer to see it all play out. Alabama is already in (would have to lose twice to fall out and LOL SEC East) but every other spot is up for grabs. We could definitely see the first playoff that isn't just 4 conference champs this year.

I have watched over 7 million football games, and that is the first time I have ever seen that called I've seen it called 3 other times, all involving ND. Twice against, once for. Thank goodness that garbage didn't end up mattering

The ornament with the trophy is fantastic. Apparently everyone else thought so too because it's out of stock on MLB Shop now.

I know I won't get everything I would buy myself so that's the only reason I jumped in early (that and I thought I'd have it sooner, #LetsGo get my order shipped dammit).

The Cubs didn't draft Rizzo, although the guys that run the Cubs did (which may be what you mean). They also drafted Schwarber, of course.

They're moving the bullpens under the bleachers on both sides of the stadium.

Most of the MLB.com products say they will be shipped no later than next Wednesday. Some (the massive blu-ray set) won't come out until December.

My gut feeling is someone else plays CF. I don't think the Cubs want to move him there.

Must have been awkward for matusz Theo was even more pissed off about that than I was sitting in the bleachers. Totally worth it by the end of that game, though.

I bought the on-field hat from Lids last night and realized after I got home that the logo was really off-center. Will have to go back and exchange it. First world problems and all, but a bummer.

This is now out of stock on the MLB shop haha

Hmm. That's a surprise. They must have an idea of what to do for another starter.

Oh man, that one hit some feels. I had some sudden allergies watching that. Remember the Titans music will never not get me.

I'll be at a mall with a Lids on Monday and I'm going to immediately regret buying online and having to wait for them if I see a bunch of the stuff I bought in-store.

I really miss baseball

I'm glad I'm not the only crazy one that has a division champion shirt (or more than one in my case) That blu-ray set is going to be mine

The Lids in Gurnee Mills just got a horsefeathers ton in, so I would imagine the other Lids stores having a horsefeathers ton as well Anyone know how long these orders are gonna take from MLB? It says not shipping until Nov 16th but I would hope sooner. My order from winning the pennant only took 8 days. It said shipping no later than 11/16. I'm assuming that's a very cautious date and that it will be sooner.

I got all my stuff on MLB shop (it will be a long torturous wait for it to get to me) and it didn't look like they were out of anything. Haven't gotten a hat yet (hoodie and t-shirt each for the wife and I, 3 things for our baby boy so far...more to come) but I think I want that gray one as well. I can't wait for the massive horsefeathering Blu-ray set to be released.

It'll be quiet because the market sucks but I'm fascinated with the trade market this year. I keep trying to think about off-season plans and Jay Cutler don't caaaaare forces itself into my mind and World Series highlights start playing Seriously, I'll be excited to watch these guys next year but the best part of winning it is not having to stress about the day-to-day.

The TV coverage just sucked. I didn't mean literally quieter, although that was definitely true. I had the WGN stream on and even though it was pretty awful, since I was at work on a crap computer I wasn't going to switch and risk missing anything
