  1. absolutely embarrassing and unacceptable performance
  2. As someone who grew up in Arlington Heights its extremely weird to think they're actually a possibility to host the Bears. It would be bad and weird, and the """"downtown"""" of Arlington Heights would be totally inappropriate for a pro football team. However I'm sure some property developers are absolutely salivating at the thought. The real thing they should do is demolish the spaceship and rebuild SF to be exactly the same as it was pre-renovations, but with better accommodations.
  3. There's a fangraphs article about how you're better off not swinging a single time against DeGrom and I'm here to say: Just do that
  4. I love that Fields is rolling with jersey number 1.
  5. Hope springs eternal. Go Cubs!
  6. he sucks really bad
  7. Given this appears to be one of the most lopsided pitching match ups we've seen this year, I'm fairly confident the Cubs romp in a blow out
  8. I thought we’ve all learned this isn’t a thing. Didn’t we all learn it wasn’t a thing like 15 years ago? Make the playoffs and take a spin on the Playoff Roulette wheel. Of course it could happen. But the chances are slim with a weak rotation that doesn’t throw hard. If you plan on signing the core, go all in. If you aren’t, continue the rebuild and acquire prospects. The chances are slim if you’re the undisputed best team in the league. The playoffs are a crapshoot. Take as many swings at the piñata that you can get.
  9. You’re hurting like .172 dude. What could the shot even do that would hurt your stock right now. Maybe the Bill Gates microchips it inserts into your bloodstream will help.
  10. I don't care if they are good. They aren't winning the World Series good and if you aren't going to sign Baez or Bryant or Rizzo, trade them all with Kimbrel before July 1. There is good regular season baseball and there is good playoff baseball. Just like when the Cubs beat up on the Mets in 2015 and got hammered in the playoffs because the Mets have better starting pitching. I thought we’ve all learned this isn’t a thing. Didn’t we all learn it wasn’t a thing like 15 years ago? Make the playoffs and take a spin on the Playoff Roulette wheel.
  11. Are the Cubs Actually Good? I don’t want to get my hopes up too high but we’re a significant chunk into the season and they keep winning, have the best RD by a significant margin in the division. The Fangraphs projections still have them a big underdog in the division for the rest of the season, which annoys me. It’s too bad they hobbled themselves with the unnecessary payroll shedding in the off season huh.
  12. How bad can Jason Heyward play before he just gets permanently benched because I’m way past that point
  13. This would be extremely dope for me because I got tickets for the first time in my life to see a Bears home game
  14. can we never horsefeathering have another west coast trip ever again
  15. I'll always be more ok with the Brewers doing some stupid unbelievable garbage than the Cardinals, who have had sole possession of the Magic Pixie Dust for decades
  16. If the MLB higher ups are so concerned about a boring product and hopes more offense makes for better viewership, why are they looking the other way on this? Very strange.
  17. Well. This was an important one to get to staunch the bleeding. West coast trips are almost always a bloodbath so you just hope not to lose too much pace in the standings
  18. should i have known who this guy patrick wisdom was like 2 weeks ago? because i most definitely did not
  19. I’d settle with not getting swept in this series and the prognosis is not good
  20. Is Zobrist really in such dire financial straits he has to auction his World Series ring off? Damn.
  21. more than anything else, this hurts the most len has been so [expletive] good, and was the voice i most identify with the cubs. sucks
  22. I guess I'm fine with this?
  23. I’m so glad the Cubs management decided to give this piece of garbage an extra year of to suck and malign the fan base. 2019 was so much like 2009-2010 it’s crazy
  24. Jesus christ this whole season is shaping up to be like Trestman's second year. Just a disaster.
