    i think the cubs are very in on Ohtani, because he's a once in a lifetime (or twice in a lifetime i guess) guy, he just doesn't want to play for us. i think outside of the absolute top end guys (I guess soto fits here too but the asking price is too much) the cubs are willing to see what they have with horton, pca, shaw, caissie, alcantara, whatever, before they go in for like a second-tier star. I don't think that's a good plan necessarily but i think that's what's on Hoyer's mind.

    damn bruce out here looking like joe maddon's grandad

    jed got ghosted and doesn't want to admit it. its happened to all of us

    Probably Ohtani realizes he just spent more than half a decade on a lost cause roster, watching Trout fade into injury obscurity without ever playing a meaningful game and said you know what, i dont want to waste my only big contract on a maybe

    Did you know in the last 15 years, only once has the world series winner also had the fWAR leader? (Betts/Red Sox 2018) the cubs are going to be fine

    this thing we do every offseason where we go "the reporters telling me what i want to believe are real and the ones telling me bad news are making it up" never fails to get a laugh.

    I know this is easy to say at this point, but guys ... the best player in baseball is a free agent and the idea that he would sign with the cubs (THE CUBS) over The best team in baseball With an unlimited budget Who has actually cleared payroll for him already and they live right down the (very long) street from where he already resides its disappointing but don't waste time being disappointed you didn't win the lottery.

    Ehh I dunno. I think it certainly helped that he was the cheapest, but they were probably out on correa for health reasons, out on Turner because his defensive profile didn't match the cost (I wanted turner to be fair but im also a dumb dumb) and they were never gonna give Bogaerts $280 mil. Tom, of all people, actually sold me on Swanson after the signing and yeah it's just one year but it was probably the right call.

    ohtani inexplicably choosing the cubs over the dodgers was always a longshot. i just take solace in the fact that almost every time i get my heart set on a FA, we don't get him and it works out fine anyway
  10. imb
    regardless of all the nonsense, its much more likely ohtani picks the dodgers over the cubs

    Glasnow...Now?

    imb replied to Tim's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    glasnow seems kind of redundant considering our top prospect (gallardo) is the best pitching prospect in the minors

    crazy that he's just 33. I remember Jersey saying something during Starlin's rookie year about how easy it would be for him to get to 3,000 hits.

    what the hell
  14. imb
    yeah when is the Bozo Bowl kicking off anyway

    we could give the money to SSR, he then invests it in some Israeli-government bonds, allowing the eventual winner to profit off of supporting our fiercest political allies.

    i feel like you two can figure out who among you is the smartest dumb person without me. i wish you both bad luck.
  17. imb
    these two dumb asses running head first into each other over gambling brags is the most hilariously on-point thing to happen at nsbb since pretty much anything the bum ever posted. i love it we're so back

    god horsefeathers dammit the pun in the thread title just dawned on me

    Lmao, this is awesome. I might have some old Cubs stuff I could donate next year for these awards, this is fun.

    figuring out how to get the most out of gio, musah, adams and wes in a 3-man midfield seems too big of a task for Greg. Adams and Gio look absolutely essential, so I'd guess that leaves Musah out since he and Gio are kind of duplicative skill-wise, even though Gio plays higher up? I dont know either so I guess i am also Greg

    i hope he logs in one day and goes "wow i got a notification, neat!" when the statute of limitations passes, ill tell you guys all about the behind the scenes work that went into driving OMC crazy back in the day. lots of good memories

    the us women were very good this year, just not as good as usual. the old players were a little too old, the young players were a little too young, too inexperienced. the coach was terrible the whole tournament. And they still allowed what, 1 goal in the run of play? And dominated third-ranked sweden and just lost due to bad PKs and a lack of finishing. they'll be fine and it's a good thing overall that the world is catching up and it's not just a cakewalk.

    holy horsefeathers i hate it
