  2. Seems like a bunch of dumb horsefeathers all ping-ponging off of each other. we'll never get it, but i'd love to hear theo's candid thoughts on all this Just get him drunk. You know he's the type.
  3. Yep, the reports that came out last week plus the Crane interview leave it pretty obvious. This is a franchise that has been cautious and calculated about setting expectations about individual offseasons and using vague statements like 'the money will be there when needed' to describe their future payrolls. The narrative has changed completely now based on the things they've said. They had to know that they were dramatically raising fan expectations. And now instead of 90% ownership blame, 10% FO blame (on twitter at least), its reversed. seems like they know jed is a wuss and thought it would be easy to call his bluff and shift the blame Seems like a bunch of dumb fucks all ping-ponging off of each other.
  4. Damn right: [tweet]https://twitter.com/cantguardjake/status/1602397193708732418[/tweet]
  5. Nah. They're going to feed their players with barely expired Swanson TV dinners because Ricketts got a sweet deal from Tucker Carlson's mom.
  6. It's probably enough to sell to enough dopes making a bus trip from Iowa every year to see a middling 78-82 win team this summer. Sorry, it just reminds me of the 80's and 90s Cubs Cubs fans from here on out:

  8. Presumably it would be better to sign better players to get him to sign and make the Cubs better. Bellinger made the Cubs better as a baseline and potentially significantly better. Taillon made them better, as well. Sure, but even better better guys make them even more better, and also improve their chances with the whole "making themselves better appeals to the guys who would REALLY make them better" thing. Don't settle, Tim.
  9. yes, well, presumably the guy we're offering ~$300m to play for us will be a better player. Presumably it would be better to sign better players to get him to sign and make the Cubs better.
  10. Nice. Fast-forward to Opening Day: "The Cubs really Cody Bellinged this offseason."
  11. I mean, "showing the team is going to be active" could also be them signing better players.
  12. I too am fearful of these billionaires spending some of their billions for reasons I can't fully explain.
  13. It's possible that the Bellinger and Taillon signings this soon are to help intrigue Senga, who wants to go to a team that wants to win right now. Are they lying to him about who they signed?
  14. This is the real Chicago Way.
  15. [expletive], that is a depressing read.
  16. Eyeballs at home are all that matters in the end.
  17. Effectively making Amazon have to pay for this game is the greatest thing the Bears have done in decades.

  19. pretty much, there's nowhere else to go after your absolute favorite team ends a 100+ year championship drought at the end of a 5-year plan to win a world series. it's like moving into a house after watching it being built every day. You can't top it. it's like the hellraiser movies, you run out of things to experience so youre like, sure demons, chop my dick off and feed it to me, im kinda just sitting around anyway. what if cooper rush won a super bowl He already said you could chop off his dick and feed it to him.
  20. [expletive]. That's straight up assault.
  21. Netflix has gotta be desperately trying to resurrect The Queen's Gambit for a cheatin' season.
  22. Random Maris spot poll: is it cool or lame that the dude who broke Ruth's record was mostly Just Some Guy outside of, like, 2-3 seasons?
