Should I have any idea what those numbers mean?
-
Keep Mariota out of the NFC South, please. Carolina already has only the 3rd-best QB in the division, I don't want to make it 4th.
-
The 2004 team was awesome and fun, albeit at times infuriating. If I hated every Cubs team that collapsed at the end, I wouldn't like many teams.
-
That seems...odd. -
God, that is so stupidly hot take-y from Haugh. Is that the kind of crap that leads to getting columnist jobs?
-
#firstworldproblems, but after barely advancing to the finals thanks to Aaron Rodgers' stink-bomb, I now have a situation where I'm headed into the finals with: Isaiah Crowell, who can't get anything going if Manziel is terrible Nuke Hopkins, who now has no QB T.Y. Hilton, who has some sort of hamstring injury Jeremy Maclin, who hasn't been nearly as good since Foles got hurt Going against a guy who has Le'Veon Bell, Andrew Luck, and Dez Bryant, as well as (if he ever wakes up) Jimmy Graham. Don't love my chances to say the least.

I want to be in first place at 5-8-1 really bad. Go Bears.
-
If we hadn't done that, we wouldn't have Kris Bryant.
-
Sounds like more tampering. Beane probably initiated those discussions as part of a master plan to get Russell back in a tampering suit

javi baez deep concern and probably giving hope up thread
Andy replied to treebird's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Without going back through the minor league threads, I think he was posting K-rates in the 22-25% range even during his awesome stretches. -
Don't forget basically all of northern and central Indiana outside of The Region, as well as pretty much all of Iowa IIRC.
-
Great choice, new ace.
-
Yes. Blackout doesn't mean you can't watch on cable, it means it's the only place you can watch (no MLBTV, no Extra Innings). You can go to this site and there's a text box to type in your zip code, and it tells you every team you won't be able to watch on MLBTV or EI.
-
The Phillies certainly wouldn't be last if they were counting contributions from guys in that span. Utley alone has twice the WAR they gave the Phillies. Good point. Their numbers must be off then, or they're counting Castro, or something like that.
-
Are they talking about guys drafted between 2004 and 2014, or contributions from guys who were drafted that occurred between 2004 and 2014? Because that could change things significantly.
-
Yeah, we've all been spoiled. The Phillies and Giants, to name two, are teams I'm about certain have local network deals for at least some games, and those probably don't reach everyone in their blackout zones either.
-
I hate that Julio isn't practicing right now, but I still should start Matt Ryan vs Pit over Ryan Tannehill @ NE, right?
-
And I'm saying that would have been the case even if the Cubs stayed on WGN because WGN America isn't going to broadcast sports anymore (unless I'm wrong about that - just going off memory). That was the word, yes. I thought the Cubs represented the last of that, but apparently the Bulls' Saturday games are still on WGN America for this season.

The Winter Meetings Thread
Andy replied to David's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
He's great, but he is only around for 1 year, and with Atlanta apparently in rebuild mode they don't get much out of keeping him. -
MLB.TV is under $150 for the season. That's not a small amount of money, but it's 6 months of all the baseball you want (really 7, if you're into spring training). If you're out of market, it's a great value. ETA: Just realized you might have been referring to the possibility of non-broadcast games, in which case oops. Although that does seem extremely unlikely.

The Winter Meetings Thread
Andy replied to David's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
If I'm the Cubs, I'm not giving up Russell or Bryant (obviously) for Upton. If the Braves demanded Baez and wouldn't take less, I'd have a tough decision to make. A Rizzo/Soler/Upton heart of the order, with Castro, Montero and Bryant... =P~ -
Recent high profile targets: FA: Furcal: No Bradley: Yes Pujols: No Fielder: No Sanchez: No (though talk didn't really heat up until the report that we'd signed him) Trade: Roberts: No Harden: Yes Peavy: No Granderson: No Garza: Yes And of course, Epstein: Yes The one that came to mind for me was Juan Pierre, though that was a little older.
-
Guys, this is [expletive] exciting. After five years of [expletive] teams, we're relevant again.
-
Cutcliffe literally had a heart attack from coaching Ole Miss. At his age it's no surprise he would turn down Michigan. He's perfect for Duke. Low expectations = low pressure. Weis was going to hire Cutcliffe as his OC at ND before that happened. Although little would probably have changed, it would've been interesting to see an alternate universe where that worked out.
-
Theo just said they aren't shopping Castillo, for what that's worth. Called Montero a perfect complement to him.
