    This game is an absolute sham. If the Bears lost like this I'd be absolutely livid.
  2. Tryptamine
    The NFL is fixed, that is 100% a catch by the Buffalo receiver
  3. Tryptamine
    Some of us have morals, apparently you can just set yours aside for entertainment.

    I must have missed the part where I was championing an effort to make millions of other people suffer. If you think that is equivalent to whatever nonsense you're going on about, then there's no helping you.
  5. Tryptamine
    Probably unrealistic, but I was holding out hope that Kepley would get the nod to AA
  6. Tryptamine
    Well this is certainly a strong first post.

    The problem with a cap is you'll start seeing super teams like the Miami Heat of the early early to mid 2000s. When teams can't significantly outbid each other due to cap restrictions, then players will funnel themselves to a select few teams in order to win. Both options are going to have major issues.

    They're doing what they did with Ohtani and with Yamamoto. Yeah, those contracts are huge money, but it also vastly expanded their brand and brought in millions if not tens of millions of new fans who throw an ungodly amount of money at the various Dodger products to the point that those contracts are likely miniscule in comparison.. Now if they establish themselves as a historic dynasty they become what the Yankees of yesteryear were, unparalleled popularity but on a world wide level.

    When figuring in the penalty, that's over 100M a year for Tucker no? So Tucker alone is more than some team's entire payroll

    Met fans have to be going ballistic right now. If they don't land Framber, it's going to be full blown chaos.
  11. Tryptamine
    I was really high on Cowles for being the future utility guy for the Cubs, but then that 2024 improved K% completely went away.
  12. Tryptamine
    Apparently even I underestimate Nico. I had no idea that Nico was the 18th most valuable position player in baseball over the last 4 years.
  13. Tryptamine
    Gross gross gross. Shaw is likely to be > Abreu, comes with 2 more years of control and I'm am super underwhelmed by Bello
  14. Tryptamine
    Damn, someone needs a Snickers.
  15. Tryptamine
    Absolutely, you must have 1 of Nico or Shaw on this 2027 roster. Losing Nico to FA and Shaw to a trade just so that they need to fill in 2B via FA makes no sense.
  16. Tryptamine
    Willi Castro could fill the utility slot nicely, but mega dipshit or not, I'd still expect a big return on Shaw if they moved him.
  17. Tryptamine
    They were garbage in the 1st half but showed up in the 2nd, especially Wagler. Now take care of the next two games, in matchups where they will be heavy favorites, and then on to a huge showdown in Lafayette
  18. Tryptamine
    Keaton Wagler is gone after this year, I don't see anyway he sticks around.
  19. Tryptamine
    I love watching other fan bases talking about Nico and they're like, I guess Nico would be ok. The guy is just criminally underappreciated.
  20. Tryptamine
    I can't believe Dante Moore is returning to Oregon. The guy was probably going to be a top 5 draft pick. Now he's set to join a draft class with far more QB talent in it.
  21. Tryptamine
    I'd agree that it's stupid, but there's definitely a pattern forming regarding them only signing character guys with leadership skills to the big deal. We've now got Dansby and Bregman and they more or less brought Turner in last year just for the sake of his clubhouse/leadership reputation.
  22. Tryptamine
    I actually love a 6 man rotation for the Cubs this year. Steele is coming off injury, Horton is coming of the most innings he has ever thrown, Boyd is coming off the most innings he has ever thrown, Taillon is coming off injuries, Shota is coming off injuries and Cabrera is coming off injuries. Limit these guys where you can and keep them fresh for the final push and the playoffs.
  23. Tryptamine
    God if Lafluer is let go of too, has there ever been a more loaded coaching class?
  24. Tryptamine
    I think there's probably some truth to that the Cubs just aren't interested in bringing Tucker back for whatever reason.
  25. Tryptamine
    That would keep the Cubs from getting worse in 2026? I don' think there's anything.
