    I'm a little surprised Happ took this over trying for a mini-megadeal in FA (and a lot surprised it was done in-season). Really nice move.

    As tempting as it might be to get the full Sunday Ticket after Carolina drafts Quarterback X in a couple weeks, as a poor I'm already pushing it with RedZone ($12/mo add-on), and another $200+ for Sunday Ticket would be crazytown.

    That gave me Javy vibes. Really nice win today.

    Yan Gomes had better be every bit as good with pitchers as his reputation suggests because good hell this offense isn't gonna work

    Beautiful swing, Cubs playing pepper out there

    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?
  12. Andy
    It is, that's how he snuck it out
  13. Andy
    That was an unreal AB by Happ
  14. 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
  17. Andy
    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.
  22. 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).
  23. Andy
    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.
  24. Andy
    Voted 81-85. I get 2005 vibes from this team. Not in a good way. Hope I am wrong.
  25. Andy
    NM I'm in there already
