  1. Quintana on pace to be lucky to get through 6; Cubs better get to scoring to try and offset all that bullpen time.
  2. Someone gimme an update of those team RISP stats, STAT.
  3. Oh, shocker; Descalso strikes out on 3 pitches to a guy who just horsefeathering walked ALMORA.
  4. If Descalso actually does something more useful than swallowing a seagull right here, I'll become his biggest fan.
  5. Bote has been garbage for a while now, might be worth it to give him a breather for a few days and maybe work on some things with the coaches/video guys to get right. He also still is dealing with the broken toe, maybe they want him to get off the foot for a few days. Also: they're both probably butt.
  6. Nope, I've been to a game this season, but I didn't buy the tickets, and they weren't bought for me; they were part of someone else's season ticket package that would have been bought regardless of whether I went to any games or not. I don't buy any official MLB merch, I don't spend any money in the parks, and I don't subscribe to their streaming service. I maintain it is very, VERY easy to follow the team, watch/listen to the games, and even go to the games, and not give one damn dime to them. I respect this. Good answer. Just as long as you didn't buy any food and/or drink while at the game, damn it. Done and done (though I started doing that by default years ago via a combination of usually being broke and/or unable to eat/drink garbage). As with life in general, I just sit there and take up space.
  7. I think your cause is noble. The one thing I can't figure out is why you help put money in the evil empire's pockets then. Why are you paying money to actually go to games and give Ricketts what he wants? I know you've remarked you have been to games this season or are going to be going. If I'm mistaken, I apologize.

  8. I don't care what the Cubs' payroll is compared to any other team; I want my team to use the assets they have to get better. If that means spending more on top of want they're already spending (especially when you're in an offseason where you have minimal trade assets of value, or ones you're willing to part with), then I want them to use their considerable resources to spend more. I don't care if they already have the highest payroll, or how much more they spent than another team in the division; use the money to try and get better. It means diddly squat how their payroll compares to anyone else.
  9. THIS. Effectively applauding the Cubs for keeping with the pack of cheap bastards blows. They're choosing to be the big spenders of the cheap bastards, not the actual big spenders we longed for.
  10. It's your time to shine, Derwood.
  11. That's a big fat if. Assuming health I don’t think it is. Also a hugely questionably knock against him. Ugh. What a terrible signing.
  12. We should start taking bets when the Darvish debacle finally migrates with him to the bullpen. Year 3 or year 4?
  13. Horse lady feels like an affront to noble bipeds everywhere. Everything is bad and wrong about how she is moving, and she must be stopped.
