  1. Guys, the OPS is fine, so stop worrying about Jackson Olt Baez Lake Bryant. Yeah, Junior Lake's 700 OPS in AA really had people talking. The only one you have even the slightest chance of making your point is Jackson, whose OPS was fine along the way. But Bryant's is amazing and pretending it is the same is absurd. There were points in every one of those player's careers where there was some portion of the fan base insisting that the slash line was fine so stop worrying about the peripherals. Whether or not the players are the exact same thing or not, the thought process that's leading to so many dismissing Bryant's problems as irrelevant is the same. That is moronic and wrong. Two idiots thinking Junior Lake's OPS was "fine" has nothing to do with everybody but Kyle realizing Bryant's OPS is insanely good.
  2. was this game in doubt when you posted this?

  5. boooooooooooooooooooooo
  6. That is awesome. Has the Cubs home opener ever been a night game? Carrie Muskat @CarrieMuskat · 2h 2 hours ago The #Cubs season opener April 5 will mark 1st ever Opening Night in Wrigley Field history
  7. do we not have a coach? why are they still letting him do this? Trestman subscribes to the Los Feliz Day Care school of discipline:
  8. Yeah, this isn't a case of the media jumping at the first opportunity to criticize Marshall. If anything he's made it impossible for them to keep pretending everything was just fine. There's been a definite uptick in the "crazy", without a doubt. But I do feel like there's a certain amount of the local media that has been waiting for just that. I'm not saying it's unjustified, unfortunately. If they've been waiting they would have pounced earlier.

  10. I had forgotten that stupid fact.
  11. young people like dumb stuff
  12. standard 4th/5th OF who "mashes" lefties and looks gritty and stuff? A RH corner OF seems incredibly redundant with Soler and probably Bryant playing hundreds of games at those spots, plus Ruggiano already in tow as a lefty masher reserve who can actually play a bit of defense. I can see a RH CF because 1) the incumbent there is (primarily) LH 2) Ruggiano isn't much of a CF and 3) the incumbent has the most tenuous grasp on the position, but for a corner OF I don't get it. I guess there's a decent chance that if Bryant is an OF then you could carry 6 OF including him and Alcantara, but I'm not seeing much benefit to the Gomes archetype. also of note is the fact that jonny gomes will be 34 in a week and sucks and every media member following the Cubs said they would be going after gritty grindy veterans to teach the kids how to play.
  13. Forest was actually the one they got to take all his tests.
  14. Did CSN even have an HD feed in 2008? The game was aired on WGN and they did have an HD feed, just not in this game.
  15. Bears fans are dumb. http://www.sideleagueblog.com/sideleague-2/2014/11/12/jay-cutler-tells-the-onion-that-the-chicago-bears-need-a-new-punter-some-bears-fans-have-never-heard-of-the-onion-apparently 100% knew that was going to happen. I'm going out on a limb to say you could find such a reaction on twitter to every article ever written on the onion. Nope. If that was about Peyton Manning, everyone would have known it was a joke. *I would have used another Bear, but people would believe it if Marshall (crazy), Briggs (fatty), or Allen (crazy) were said to have said it too. Nobody else on the team talks. But the onion probably isn't writing that article with Peyton Manning in place of Cutler. That story doesn't work. That's the point. The onion's articles about real life things tend to exploit the public perception of celebrities and what their biggest critics think they are capable of doing. And every time it happens, you can find people on twitter that thought it was real. *Although there have been real life articles where Manning talked about teammates that weren't cutting it.

  17. At first I thought this was in response to the Tavarez DUI news, like the 5 cardinals you'll meet in hell or something.
  18. For anyone holding out hope for Scherzer and Lester. TRADES
