    The question is what would lead to more eyeballs, a #1 ranking or something outside the top 5? Give it a 6 and some people will freak the F out.

    That was, indeed, an interesting read. But... How can you grow up with a love of the game, surrounded by nothing but people who live the sport, and not know this? I think it makes a lot of sense that somebody would love playing a sport but not know where one team played during the Eisenhower Administration. He wasn't "surrounded by nothing but people who live the sport", considering he said his parents knew nothing about baseball.

    Insert groin joke here Jay already did that, likely months ago.

    Nothing Kaplan does/says is troubling to me. Mostly because the man is completely inconsequential to me. His opinions do seem to affect, or at least reflect, the consensus sentiment about the Cubs and their doings, so it's annoying more than troubling to me.

    Adults; everyone did their drinking the weekend before. Yeah, sure, I did my drinking. Halloween on Thursday sucks. Every party and/or night out does it the weekend before, but then there are kids costume things all week long, and there will be carryover into the weekend. Anyway, it's a perfectly reasonable night to schedule a potential game 7.

    More disappointed in Goldschmidt winning it over Rizzo tbh Gold Gloves don't affect who wins games, so I'm Jay Cutler on this.

    So he is currently a special assistant who has not interviewed for the gig? But people are leaking they are high on him? Sounds like a candidate for a bench coach.

    Cubs pitchers out OPS the next best team by 88 points and were 47.7% better than the rest of the NL pitchers. The DH probably would not have helped the 2008 Cubs at all. what i mean is we might have actually might have had the best OPS in baseball instead of the second best despite being an NL team because awesome I take much greater pleasure in the team's record being good than statistical rankings, and given the Cubs huge advantage over NL teams in OPS from the pitcher's spot I do not think a DH would have helped them achieve a better record. So, not awesome.

    I think all of us grew up watching mostly NL baseball. I got next to no enjoyment from the "will they pinch hit for him or double switch" discussion that some people call strategy. Baseball isn't really a strategy game. It's a pitcher versus hitter game. I group up enjoying pitchers pitch to hitters.

    I think less fun than you think. I don't think there's that many guys who are awesome hitters but can't field. The average AL OPS this year was 724, and the average for DH only was 725. There were already seven teams with an OPS below 700 in the AL. Adding 15 more isn't going to suddenly mean 15 more good hitters. fair enough, but "good hitter" is relative. you're replacing a bunch of uncoordinated stiffs with competent major league hitters. Sure, it's going to make a difference. The 9 spot in the AL hit 633 while the NL was 462. The overall went from 724 to 703. The spread has pretty consistently been 12-24 points of OPS overall. It will make a difference. But we aren't going to see a generation of David Ortiz clones stepping to the plate.

    I'm almost exactly like you but with a willingness to explore the "modified" version.

    They started with quite a few off days. They've been on a mostly "every other day" schedule since though. This is, I think, the second back-to-back of the season. I'm gonna be watching the Bulls tonight though, and just checking in on the Hawks. Only five teams have played more games, while 11 have played less. After tonight they have three off days then start a pattern of Sat/Sun/(insert weekday) for three weeks, and when that ends, they play every other day for 14 days, and that ends with another back to back. 15 games in 30 days in November.

    I can see a theoretical argument in defense of one person believing that, but I don't know how conventional wisdom could hold that opinion.

    Yup. Merriweather is a dirty douche but he pretty much owned Marshall there. He hardly "owned" him. No, he owned him. Basically, Marshall opens himself to that any time he publicly criticizes anyone else for the rest of his life. He opened himself up for criticism but was not "owned". That's such a silly word to use there. Merriweather is scum. He's a repeat offending piece of trash who has shown no signs of even admitting what he does it wrong. Marshall is a mentally ill individual with a checkered past who appears to have worked really hard to right the wrongs of his life. There was no "owning", just some completely irrelevant deflecting when a scumbag got in trouble again.

    so this is dcvalpo making funnies?

    Well, to be fair, it is (seemingly, at least) much harder to be and stay a healthy major league starting pitcher than it is to be an everyday position player. At a baseline yes, but with the two players in question, one hasn't had any injury problems at all, and the other has missed like 70 games in 1.5 years with a couple different injuries. And yet, the pitcher who hasn't had any injury problems at all just hasn't had his injury yet.

    How much are you thinking they are buying? I have no idea; I'm guessing whichever ones would be blocked/obstructed by their planned renovation and likely would sue. Isn't that most of them? I would think they could maybe buy 2 and completely change the scenario. There's no point in buying the ones down the lines, let them die a natural death and when the current agreement is up you can build out more in front of the hold outs.
