  1. Bello, Brooks, Sargent out Robinson, Lletget, Aaronson in Acosta to RB? Adams to MID? Turner Acosta/Robinson/McKenzie/Robinson Adams/Sands/Lletget Pulisic/Pepi/Aaronson ??
  2. Could Gooch and Clint hop out of the studio and be starter-caliber by November? Only kinda kidding...
  3. Sargent looks awful
  4. fire Gregg
  5. I was thinking of jokingly asking if he broke protocol to sleep with Gregg's wife... yikes on that rumor. on another note:
  6. pretty surprised we haven't seen Pepi yet... Sargent isn't it up top. Pefok seems better suited as a late-game sub with his energy.
  7. Steffen has COVID, maybe saving Gregg from himself a bit by forcing him to play Turner.
  8. Yeah, you definitely take the wins, because that means the other pieces are performing and give you more hope for the future when you add Fields to the mix. And you become a better FA destination (assuming there is any money to spend.)
  9. what a delivery by Gio
  10. Gonna be important to not give one up early. I think if we can get settled in in the first 30 or so without giving one up, we'll be golden. Don't want to give one up and give them confidence or let the crowd get into it.
  11. enjoyed reading this: https://www.si.com/soccer/2021/09/02/usmnt-world-cup-qualifying-concacaf-dark-arts-berhalter-daily-cover
  12. Eh, he can at least be a solid reliever.
  13. Glad I didn't ruin the tank...
  14. The Rockies are really terrible on the road...
  15. You should be able to edit the OP like any other post. When you do that, you can change the thread title as well. Davies G1 and Steele G2. Interesting that the games are back to back meaning the Cubs are foregoing a game worth of ticket revenue for this DH. I guess there goes any big FA signings this offseason. Duh, was looking for a separate option. Thanks. I'm also surprised they're going back to back. Maybe trying to win some goodwill from the fans?
  16. Can't find the option to change the thread title... game 1 is Davies? Look for lots of dongs.
  17. Honestly curious as to how the US isn't red-listed
  18. "Ryan Pace should be the fourth best salesman at a Dallas-area Mazda dealership" "The team is moving to Arlington Heights so they can tap into an even wider range of obese Midwesterners dying for the opportunity to be run over by one of Mike Ditka’s drunk kids."
  19. I guess I have to do this again since they won... I'm 1-0 all-time starting game threads.
  20. Colorado on the road vs. 2nd half Cubs at home... 16 innings incoming?
  21. you would sign the worst/oldest player of the 3 just because nico hoerner exists? The point is that we have a team with a bunch of holes to fill. I think we need to fill those holes first before upgrading positions that are already filled by players like Happ, Hoerner, Wisdom, etc. and then deciding if they need to be upgraded. The obvious holes to fill are 2 SP, 1B, LF, and the bullpen. It's not like we're going to be contending next year. There is literally one position player on the team I would guarantee a starting spot to if he is on the roster. Every other position should be looked at as a possible place to upgrade.
  22. Lowering the LT would be a gigantic win for the owners, so it's pretty much what I expect to happen. Even if the floor comes up, I'm pretty sure you'd just see dudes getting huge one year deals to meet the minimums to play on garbage teams. Need a 5th starter? Let's pay an old guy who was good once $15 Million to suck and sell some jerseys
  23. If they let Burnes get to 20 Ks, I'm going to be pissed
  24. In fairness, Eloy would be physically incapable of playing outfield in Wrigley without maiming himself running into the bricks.
