  1. Nothing is wrong with hotdogs or El Trains, it's just the lazy "what's the thing that we use every time we have a Chicago game" tropes that reduce a city (and this is any city) to a cliche.
  2. Can we have a national Cubs broadcast without hotdogs, black cats or El trains? Sports media is lazy
  3. Drop Baez, add Bregman
  4. I will probably watch this up until the Hoerner AB, then go to be
  5. I don’t know how it plays out, I’d assume Ross will be heavily rumored. I’m guessing they go with the trend of the relatively unknown guy who’s cheap and “goes by the book” and is essentially an extension of the FO in the dugout. I’d assume internally Borzello, Loretta and Venanble will be candidates, would like to keep Hottovy as the pitching coach. Externally I’d be interested in Carlos Beltran. I'm sure PTR would like it to be someone who is already on the payroll. He'll just manage them himself
  6. why would they settle for him? No idea. I’m sure they’ll look at the Gms from Minnesota, maybe Arizona or Houston....people with somewhat recent success.
  7. Not strange at all. It signals to potential GMs that the Sox are hiring, and lets them get things started well before the off season. Could we see Jed Hoyer heading to Boston?
  8. sparkling debut (so far) for Kyler Murray Also, the Bengals have 5 run plays, 26 pass plays. Also, Nick Foles is dead, so lol Jaguars
  9. Darnold with 175 yards passing on 41 attempts. Was Nagy calling the plays?
  10. Maddon?? Darvish was on a pitch count. It wasn’t maddon’s Call. The Lester decision is dumb, but has nothing to do with yesterday. oh i forgot they were making sure he’s fresh for the postseason Or not dead next year. Unless you're cool paying him another 8 figure salary for sitting on the IL
  11. lol, never mind about the defense. This is a beat down
  12. Browns looking an awful lot like the Bears (i.e. great defense, but can't get anything going on offense, and shooting themselves in the foot with a ton of penalties)
  13. *FO after the season: "We know the talent is there, and we are confident that they will rebound in 2020"* *scene*
  14. It's neat how not a single one of our relievers can consistently get guys out on 2 strike counts
  15. Buffalo punter just shattered his leg. Thankfully, Fox decided not to show the replay. Yikes
  16. Nats down 1-0. Catching them is our best hope. Why? It's still a one-game coin flip. Catching Washington isn't a worthwhile goal
  17. How the hell did Nebraska blow that game?
  18. Maddon said the team doctors recommended he sit for two days. I thought the Cubs were going to get swept. So I can't really complain about them losing three of four, although after they won the first one it would have been cool to split. The same team doctors that let Baez play with a hairline fracture?
  19. The ONLY culprit is the Cubs. The Reds have zero responsibility to help the Cubs win anything.
  20. *ignores UMFan* *checks lineup* 1. ALMORA *closes tab, chucks laptop into the river, drinks bleach*
  21. And now up in OT
  22. Sure, but he seems to be able to take the guys no one else wants to deal with and get them to focus on being a teammate rather than a selfish douche (which most star WR’a are by default)
