    Well that called third on Nico was complete crap

    There is a two-month free trial at the moment, so one could cash that in now and be good to watch both games. There will probably be another AppleTV game or two in the second half of the season, though, for whatever that's worth.

    I think it was Ricketts that said this (which might actually be worse).

    That was a likely outcome anyway. Even if Jed did everything as well as Theo did, which is obviously debatable, everything working out as it did with the guys Theo acquired in the tank years had to be like a 97+ percentile outcome even with it not ending very well.

    I'm about out on the Bellinger signing

    Why did we bring Assad out for another inning exactly?
  7. Andy
    It is, that's how he snuck it out

    That was an unreal AB by Happ
  9. Andy
    It's a contract year for him too since he can opt out. Could work in the Cubs' favor.

    Zero need whatsoever. Even more so now with the pitch clock. Marquee has one of the very best in the business in JD, a rock-solid PBP guy in Boog, and the two seem to have a solid rapport. Just let them cook.

    Having really good infield defense is going to be so nice this year

    Winker definitely didn't swing there but it's cool

    Just two before I die, as the shirt says. I watched game 7 with my wife and then 2-month-old, and my wife snuck a picture of me cradling him in tears during the immediate postgame revelry. He's 6 now and doesn't give a crap about baseball but I'd love a playoff run to try to suck him in.

    I never played organized baseball, but this was my basketball experience. To this day I have not forgotten the companies Fafard and Carither's Real Estate because their names were on my basketball shirts in consecutive years.

    That would be the most logical reason not to change but I don't think anyone currently on the boards has had that problem (at least not recently), so it doesn't make much difference to me either.

    No, it was '05, '06 was the year we were awful largely because Neifi played more.
  17. Andy
    I didn't really think through the comparison that much, 2005 was just the one that came to mind for a team that's kinda sorta in contention much of the season but not really and the year ends up being mostly boring as a result (I'll assume we're not going to have a guy competing for the Triple Crown into the summer in this one, though).

    I still remember writing an article called "2009: The Pre-Playoffs" where my thesis was the division was bad enough the Cubs were definitely going to win it and the season was all about preparing to not crap out in the playoffs for once. I don't think I wrote any more after that.

    Voted 81-85. I get 2005 vibes from this team. Not in a good way. Hope I am wrong.

    NM I'm in there already

    The short version of my story is that I lived in S Carolina from ages 4-10 and picked up the Atlanta Braves somewhere in there as my 'team', even though in reality I didn't watch many of their games. Then I moved to Indiana and the first friend I made basically made it his personal mission to convert me to the Cubs, which he successfully did at some point between the 1999 and 2000 seasons.

    I've watched less CBB this year than probably any year since I was 13 or something, so I knew any attempt at picking brackets would go hilariously wrong, but I predicted the Final Four teams to win exactly one combined game in this tournament (FAU; had each of the other 3 being upset). That's impressive.

    Micah Shrewsberry reportedly leaving Penn State for Notre Dame. Feels like an exciting move for the Irish, and excitement is something they really needed after this mess of a season.
  24. Andy
    Mike Brey consistently sucked butt in the tournament until by pure luck he got a team with two NBA players on it and caught some matchup luck and all of a sudden he was a minute and a half away from beating an unbeaten team and making the Final Four. Then he caught even more matchup luck and made the Elite 8 again the next year. I think this stuff is pretty much like baseball - get as many cracks as you can and hope for lucky breaks.
