    I feel like there is a bucket full of context missing here Not if you know how to read a twitter thread.

    lol, Spring training bat flip...

    It goes the other way too. With every bad AB suddenly everyone becomes a swing doctor and tries to pick apart his failures.

    Pretty much, and at the same time if it bugs you or rubs you the wrong way I don't think it's all that hard to ignore whatever David Ross is doing in off the field stuff. Not when every thing he (or anyone else does) off the field is retweeted and/or commented on by every single baseball writer/blogger/teammate. And, again, I'm OK with him getting as much money as he possibly can get, particularly because he's nowhere near as rich as most of his teammates were or will be shortly, but "Dancing with the Stars" and playing with the Harlem Globetrotters? Who really gives a horsefeathers? A lot of people or he wouldn't be invited to do this stuff. I, for one, enjoy it. I like seeing nice guys get these opportunities instead of talented assholes.

    Too each their own I suppose. But I see no similarity to the 85 Bears. The Cubs won the WS 4 months ago. And Ross is a super nice and funny guy, reaping the rewards and momentary fame that comes with success. All the power in the world to him. It will be gone soon enough.

    It's almost like he's using spring training to work on a new swing.

    THAT is the part that I'm concerned about. Maddon isn't admitting that he completely horsefeathers the bed in games 6 and 7. You can't learn from mistakes if you aren't recognizing their existence. Yes. We won the World Series. We were and are all very very pumped. But this board never stuck me a completely results-oriented, ends justify the means, stick-with-what-got-you-there hug fest. Are we seriously going to just repeat "we won the World Series" when Maddon very nearly kept that from happening with gross over-management? 1) Maddon doesn't owe explanations to anyone. 2) Yes. Winning the World Series is the goal every year. We hadn't achieved that in 108 years, so the fact that he won the World Series excuses all. It just does.

    "The manager won some games for the Cubs last season with his mad-scientist mixing and matching, but he almost killed a dream season – and his reputation – by overusing Chapman in the World Series. That he refuses to say he was wrong should make Cubs fans nervous going forward." Can't disagree with that one, myself. Won the World Series. Don't care.

    Just for clarity, this is not the one that has all of the WS games in their entirety.

    Any chance Illinois State gets in as an at-large?

    that's the one Ferrell movie I've refused to watch, and it's because of Kattan But you know who he is. Still counts.

    Rivera's reaction afterwards....

    Sorry to interrupt the Tebow talk.

    Ben Zobrist had 18 HRs and batted .272 last year.

    I'm confused by this stance. Is it because: 1) You don't want the Mets to have an additional asset. - meh, I'm not really threatened by the Mets, but I can see not wanting good things for other teams. 2) Not wanting athlete's of other sports thinking they can just "pick-up" baseball. - as long as you felt the same way about Jordan, I'm ok with this. or is this 3) or simple dislike of Tim Tebow? - I don't understand those who feel this way. Some people over-rated him/He got too much attention for his talent level, but I didn't see him do anything worthy of the hate some people have for him. I don't have any particular love for Tebow, but I don't wish him any ill will. It's a combination of 2 and 3, but it's different than Jordan. Jordan had success in basketball. His leaving to play baseball was purely a choice...a dumb one, but a choice nonetheless. Tebow is trying baseball because "horsefeathers, turns out I suck at football". That, combined with my dislike of him and the hype around him makes me actively root against him.
  24. Banedon
    I would not like Tebow to have any kind of success....certainly not 18 HR's worth of it.
