  1. I would not make that assumption, there are rules about how long a pilot can be working, and it may just be that he/she is no longer allowed to take off after the delay.
  2. Yeah, a couple of "I have no idea what Joe is doing with the pitching" comments when Hendricks batted for himself were mystifying to me. That being said, I would have pinch hit for Heyward with the bags full in the first inning. Heyward wasn't going anywhere the moment he started against a lefty. You don't start him to pull him with righties to follow out of their bullpen. I was mostly joking.
  3. It was mostly an active decision; I was just too damn anxious by the time the game rolled around, so I knew I wasn't going to be watching all or most of the game unless the Cubs took and held a decent early lead or Hendricks looked amazing. Too nervous. I think a huge part of it are TBS' horrible, horrible announcers. It's some kind of Pavlovian response where as soon as I hear their voices I think the worst is going to happen. I played the superstition game with this one as well. I watched Silence of the Lambs and the news but was checking in constantly but making sure not watch during any action because that messed with the juju lol. The Cubs did good things when I didn't watch and bad things when I did watch so I rolled with that through about the 6th inning when Monty got in trouble and my system had been debunked. I knew this was going to be a crazy ass game so I paced myself. Thankfully it worked out in the end. I sat calmly on the couch watching nearly the entire time. I stood and clapped quietly to myself during the Scherzer inning, then stood nibbling on some pistachios during the 9th. Most of the superstitious viewing habits died for me once the Cubs beat the Pirates. I was at a dive bar with a couple Pirates fans, then about a dozen or more joined us.

  5. As desperate as they are, they still can't afford to lock in at WR. I think they can, assuming Trubisky is the franchise QB (also means WR is the only dire need) . I mean, drafting a WR #1 and signing one in the offseason isn't really "locking-in" so much as it is solidifying the position. The rest of the draft and FA can be used on depth up front on both sides of the ball. Assuming Sitton has another year in him and the rest of the line continues to perform as they have over the past two seasons. the potential emergence of another Carson Wentz minimizes any need this team has outside of WR. I'd argue there is a real need for a defensive playmaker. If they have a chance to draft one rated higher than any particular WR, but instead take a WR just because they really need one, that's a huge missed opportunity.
  6. Near my top, but not recent. They've just played so many since then.

  8. are you ranking based o how scared you were?
  9. It needs to be acknowledged that some of us know when this team is going to win, and others are usmnt fans.
  10. leaving that place will be a logistical nightmare, unless you bring a canoe to float toward the river of tears from all the nationals fans that will be rushing to catch the last train Sorry not sorry
  11. Counting on Meredith to be a legit 1 based on partial season production was already a risk, but then zero other decent receivers was insane. When you intentionally go with no depth you can't blame injuries for ruining a season.
  12. Short answer is no, you should not know anything about him:
