  1. Still not sure I like this whole pitcher batting eighth thing, but whatever, let's see if it works tonight. I get that reference dot gif
  2. if this season goes into the crapper, I think the next guy to run the show might be coming from somewhere else, and it will be a guy who has built winners on a budget.
  3. mugs are capable of holding other liquids kids are clearly drinking schnapps
  4. completely dysfunctional morons that ran roughshod over the end of the Lovie era then Trestman and Fox.
  5. no the game doesn't start for 3 hours
  6. cubs also have 420 OBP (obscenely bad pitchers)
  7. yes it is
  8. Not a real reason, but that's very cheap money for a guy who is versatile defensively and at least somewhat productive with the bat. He obviously was willing to sell some of his upside earnings for a "comfortable for life" contract. If he's worth having on the roster in 5 years he'd cost more and those options are light. It's also kind of a "hey everybody else see what we're willing to do for you kids" situation.
  9. as the raisin man said: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2700&p=341652#p341652
  10. Clearly Happ is the team captain
  11. they do this every year for every team's home opener with the exception of dome teams, I believe.
  12. What sucks is when the guys who do flame out under these deals get to become the foundation for a rookie deal cap. Eventually someone will be the MLB’s JaMarcus Russell that already happened

  14. Not only that, but the entire business model of football is predicated on irrational fan emotional investment bringing you out to the stadium once or twice a year for many, and maybe 6 or 7 times for the rest of people. You cannot expect there to be any "fans" of pro sports teams for a generation. It's a longterm investment. You have to be willing to take lumps early on unless you are selling things like first class facilities and access to the best players in the world (expansion teams). You'd be better off not wasting money on "name" coaches either. Hit the nail on the head. Fandom has to be earned and it's hard to earn it with a sub-par product. Well I guess McMahon is happy. If the AAF was AAA-ball, the XFL would have been AA regarding the level of athletes he'd have been stuck with. I guess now he gets his pick. The JFF vs. Swag Kelly matchups will be fun. As I said, I think the one lasting legacy of the AAF is that we will see a San Antonio team sooner rather than later. They'd be better off not worrying about getting the best level of players possible and do something crazy like divide teams into former college conference. Hell you could probably fill a stadium in Iowa every weekend just by having former Hawkeyes and Cyclones.
  15. what's the point of the Bears designing a draft hat in the year of our lord 2019
  16. things being illegal don't matter anymore
