  1. Could you also be persuaded to raise the height of the rim?
  2. I feel some of you are remembering those mid-range 2's only as the Jordan buzzer beaters instead of the lame ass horsefeathers they are a good, oh, 93.7% of the time.
  3. Being really horsefeathering good at shooting is, personally, something that'll never bug me about pro basketball. I don't think it compares to something like defensive shifting in baseball at all.
  4. Yeah, the NBA is pretty awesome these days. I really don't care at all what the Bulls do at this point.
  5. We know what we have to do...
  6. Agreed, imagine that would be the plan. Thanks to the recency of his success, at least nominally being able to claim being a CFer, and the years of control it's at least arguable he is their biggest trade chip for exactly that right now I believe he can hit some, but find it interesting he's not crazy different from the hitter he was during his ML debut less than two years after being drafted: Ian Happ 2017 (413 PAs): .349 wOBA, 114 wRC+, 67% contact rate, 31.2% K rate Ian Happ 2018-2020 (849 PAs): .347 wOBA, 116 wRC+, 66% contact rate, 31.7% K rate Long story short: he's a typical Theo Cub. Flashes/stretches of what you want him to be, but ultimately too flawed to be of real long term value beyond "this guy is decent," and the window is long missed for them being a serious trade asset.
  7. The whole, "his legacy is locked because of X number of years making the postseason" thing is more than a bit flimsy when you're talking about 3 straight seasons now of disappointingly falling down the stairs into the postseason via terminal fart attack. This horsefeathers's been running on fumes for a while now.
  8. Why do people keep pretending spending money equals wins? They just lost to the team with the lowest payroll in baseball. The resources have been put into this team, the players just aren't good enough. Agreed; Theo is bad at everything except complete teardowns and rebuilds.
  9. It's too late.
  10. I loathe that Theo will never be fired.
  11. DERWOOD DON'T DOOM EVERYTHING.
  12. He sucks just as much as weird Mormon robot KB.
  13. Maybe this is all a subtle protest against the Ricketts, and the Cubs will be terminally dog horsefeathers until they sell.
  14. He's got a classically great baseball name.
