  1. He got low-key pwned
  2. That literally just happened. "If you're gonna get your panties in a bunch over every little political thing, then you aren't a TRUE fan to being with!"
  3. I was already told by several Facebook strangers that if I don't support the Ricketts, then I don't support the Cubs
  4. Isn't this just talking abou t the new NBC network with the other 3 teams? That is the one being talked about as pretty much done. The Cubs one is not being talked about in nearly the same way. Also LOL about paying more for NBCCH minus CHC Good call, totally missed that
  5. Yes, you nailed it. No, obviously worried that there could be cable/satellite carriers who don't carry the network
  6. This is exactly what I was afraid of
  7. I've been a fan of the "reverse draft order" for every sport for some time now. It will never happen
  8. As late as September, I would have been very surprised if Harper had signed anywhere but with the Cubs. Now I would bet good money he doesn't. I think he'll wait as long as it takes for the Dodgers to make trades and then sign there
  9. Now the Phillies are sandbagging.
  10. fo sho
  11. Because....wait for it.....money isn't tight at all!!!!!
  12. Damn, that dude's info is so exclusive that no one else has even had the guts to report it
  13. Stuck with Colts v Cowboys
  14. I hate that MLB will never have the kind of financial equity that the NFL has (because of the number of games, because of the regional aspect of the TV contracts, blah blah blah) but it's outrageous that teams like the Cardinals are still getting competitive balance picks and being treated like they have no chance to compete with the "large markets" (who often act like small market teams when it comes to spending). I've never loved the idea of a hard salary cap/floor for baseball, but it might be time (if, and only if, the cap is based on an algorithm around revenues and not around greedy billionaires not wanting to spend)
  15. BEEP BOOP
  16. Video won't play for me, embedded or on Twitter.
  17. He was top 5 in WAR five times. Top 5 on his own team, I mean
  18. what is rule v Hey, look everybody! It's that joke that's never been funny!
  19. I don't love auto-bids for P5 champs. I don't want a 9-4 Oklahoma St. team taking a spot away from an 11-1 SEC runner up. FWIW, I hate auto-bids from conference tourneys in the NCAA tournament as well (the auto-bids should go to regular season champs, not conference champs)
  20. I’ll be damned. The video of Ruth they linked in that story was a video I created like ten years ago. Some wanker stole it and put it on their channel apparently. That comment is funny, but not really accurate. Ballplayers back then weren’t just dudes off the street. There were pretty extensive farm teams back then. The point remains though; yes, if you time machined 1918 Babe Ruth into 2018, he’d K almost every time. However, hitting a round ball with a round bat is a translatable skill to some degree. Some people have that skill to an extreme level. Ruth was a ridiculous athlete for his time and if infant Babe Ruth was transported to 1990 and grew up playing ball, I bet he’d be a stud in the MLB. Give Babe Ruth an off season of video, training, etc. and he'd do very well in 2018
  21. I've been listening to MLB Radio Winter Meeting coverage during my commute and they NEVER mention the Cubs w/ Bryce, but CONSTANTLY mention the Dodgers
  22. This is great. GARPAX has built, without question, the worst culture in the NBA. Worse than Jerry "No Corn Rows" Krause?
  23. I’ve seen a decent amount of articles about how Puig, Pederson, Kemp and Verdugo are being shopped. I’m sure, and yet the Dodgers are constantly considered “front runners” while the Cubs are “unlikely” despite the same numbers of hurdles for both teams to clear
