    I like this move because Todd Frazier was incredibly annoying to play against so we'll get ~10 fewer games against him

    I count my blessings that I have barely watched this team this year There have been few Bears teams that have so actively punished you for being a fan as this one

    was this posted in a 3 point game with like 8 minutes left (and the bears having just completed two longish pass plays - i think this came before that bubble screen check on 3rd down)? yep Calculated to enragify David on the NSBB board more than anyone. Get angry about it dude I don't even have the game on lol

    Just popping in to say since I've been serious about watching the Chicago Bears they have never once beaten the usually not very good Washington Redskins. They're going to be 0-6 against a franchise that has been worse than them over the last 10 or so years It's just frustrating

    I will take 1 Jonathon Lucroy and 1 Shoot David Ross into space, please

    Wish we could have gotten a much younger Ben Zobrist but he's still playing his pants off and is a very good player to have on your team. Had to look it up but was shocked to see he hasn't put in an OPS+ under 100 in the past 6 years, he's a damn good player.

    It was nice that he got to redeem his 2015 a little bit at the end of the year, and had some nice moments in the playoffs. I never formed the same bond with Castro that most of y'all did because from about 2012 to 2014 I was for the most part tuned out, which was extremely nice. Hope for the best for him out there, but I don't like the sound of the New York media and Castro put together, there might be some gnashing of teeth there. Don't really know what the return is like. Adam Warren seems...decent. Feels like we got a half dozen swing-type guys now with Clayton Richard, Travis Wood, Trevor Cahill and now Warren.

    *tries to compute the most contrarian response possible* Ugh. I guess I like it then.

    I'm not particularly enthusiastic about the signing, I get it, but feel underwhelmed. With Price getting way out of the range of the what the Cubs were able to offer, Greinke seemingly out of the picture, this was the type of move (and I expect one additional move) they were going to make. Emotionally, it kind of feels like the 2015 trading deadline in that there wasn't much risked but the upside isn't crazy high. (Though if Lackey repeats his 2015, it will massively improve the team, I have no expectation a 37 year old Lackey can do that though.) Winning baseball championships isn't about how my fan emotions respond though. Ah well, keep plugging away at it. At the very least with regards to Price, there wont be a 7 year 200 million dollar albatross type deal at the end like our experience with Soriano. He's gonna be a real ugly mug to root for though.

    In-market streaming would be dope because I'm not sure I'll own another tv for the rest of my life Yes, I am the edgy millenial that says I don't own a tv

    This picture is really good

    I gotta say, given the way we lost, and the way the Mets, who had a lead in all 4 games they lost, and then lost them in heartbreaking fashion, I much prefer getting swept into oblivion. If the Cubs were on the receiving end of the Royals magic clutch garbage stuff, the series might've killed me
  15. BigSlick
    I hope this series will make sportswriters write a whole bunch of dumb stuff about contact hitters and strike outs and the Royals Way. Though they just have a really nice group of young hitters, and the Mets have made some really bad defensive plays (Both Alcides Escobar's inside the parker and his triple today should have been caught)
  16. BigSlick
    It's really Arrieta and his jacked-Leprechaun thing that moves me on the Kinsey scale
  17. BigSlick
    Here's gonna be a bold and maybe stupid prediction: I like Soler's future more than I like Castro's future
  18. BigSlick
    well this is the least interesting and least inspired world series match up go royals. go spite. mlb baseball, i live for this
  19. BigSlick
    Christ. That really was Epstein-Hoyer's worst move to this point. Hasn't been a crippling move, but it's still hurting the team.
  20. BigSlick
    you're a big baby
  21. BigSlick
    Go Jays (though I fear because they're closer to us then the Royals, the Mets pitching would eat them alive)
  22. BigSlick
    I remembered another priority for this team in the off-season: Figure out how to pry David Ross from Lester's clawing hands. Make him a pitching coach or something. He can't play anymore.
  23. BigSlick
    For the record: It's mostly a myth that playing Catcher hurts a player's bat and accelerates their aging on offense I'm totally on board with having Schwarber play part-time catcher next year filling in for Montero and see how he handles it
  24. BigSlick
    The only thing that would actually bum me out is if they trade Schwarber because they can't find a position for him
  25. BigSlick
    I'm still hoping they find a trade partner for Castro because I'm pure evil
