  1. That isn't really news though.
  2. Probably, I did say it was less likely. Harper was a good bit worse than Puig though, and there's at least some semblence of a reason to trade Harper that makes sense compared to Puig getting traded for sideburns length or whatever. Au contraire, mon frère, Harper hit when it mattered.
  3. It's a hitting coach, I really don't think it matters all that much. No way for any of us to judge either way though.
  4. Chicago Cubs ‏@Cubs · 25s24 seconds ago #Cubs announce 2015 coaching staff: John Mallee joins from Houston as the new hitting coach. Eric Hinske shifts to assistant hitting coach.
  5. Did you get your peanuts?
  6. the team performs to expectations and end up with 85 wins which is just short?
  7. I've never heard anybody refer to trying to resign their own guys as being active in the free agent market.
  8. Not sure if any of you have heard of this story, but a high school in NJ forfeited a game and then cancelled its season due to hazing issues that sounds more like sexual assault than anything else. http://www.nj.com/middlesex/index.ssf/2014/10/sayreville_high_school_football_hazing_parent_reveals_sexual_nature_of_locker_room_ritual_exclusive.html#incart_m-rpt-1 One report says people would turn out the light, grab a freshman, hold him down and stick a finger in his ass then force him to lick it. Another parent said that when she was present while the cops were questioning her son, "it sounded like somebody grabbed a butt and nothing more". I don't get this hazing ritual [expletive]. I played a lot of sports and the most we did was when shaving heads in a team building exercise a few got shaped into goofy looking mohawks. Aside from some name calling (which included a lot of the typical teenage gay slur stuff) there was no hazing. But from the sounds of it lots and lots of meatballs out there really love the hazing ritual "tradition".
  9. Did I hear a "Leddy lost his stick" at the start of that?
  10. I never really considered '07 to be an epic choke. Maybe it's because of how bad we were in 2006, but I remember 2007 being a somewhat surprising season where you didn't expect them to make much noise in the playoffs. I was referring to 1969, 1984, 2003 and 2008. I'll be honest, I was thinking the regular season choke job you were talking about was 2004. Same. 1969 doesn't register for me as a thing beyond associating it with all of those old HOFers who hang around (for obvious reasons). It means nothing to me personally, but it is a HUGE part of Cubs fans as a whole. It was also obvious and the 2004 season was nothing like an "epic" regular season choke. It is also pathetic how much that 1969 team means to people.
  11. What are you talking about?
  12. Maybe this can go in a new 2015 spring training thread, but, whatever.

  14. You lost me here.
  15. Bowtied doofus should stick to reporting. http://deadspin.com/theres-nothing-wrong-with-the-dodgers-spending-a-lot-of-1643844276

  19. There are few meaningless phrases in this game than "pure hitter".
  20. The beat writers keep talking about the bottom of the roster churn, so I assume it is actually more than usual. It certainly appears that way to me. Injuries + Incompetence. Multiple players have been hurt at the same position, causing the Bears to have guys ready at the back of the roster and on the practice squad in case a guy can't go. We've seen this with OL (Garza, Slauson), WR (in case Marshall and Jeffery couldn't go in SF), CB (McManis), LB (McClellin). And the bottom 3-5 players on the Bears roster have been so terrible that it's become a revolving door. I actually don't mind this type of juggling. Might as well use spots 50-53 to find a diamond in the rough. Ahmad Dixon looked like he might be a keeper on special teams until he got hurt. I don't mind it either, but it does not speak well to Emery's ability to build a roster, 3 years into his tenure.
