  1. Love it. Counsel trying for the all out win having Hader pitch a 2nd inning.
  2. I find roughly one out of five episodes to be completely hilarious, and the rest miserable. Kind of like your posts!
  3. I had the shirt too!
  4. First night we were in Kauai a couple weeks ago was when they got 25-30 inches of rain in one day in the northern part of the island. Fortunately we were staying near the airport and weren't really planning on going to the northern part much. I was in Kauai at the same time too! We were in Wailua and I got photos of the flooding in Hanalei. We went to the Queen's Bath the day after and got pounded with more rain. I had to throw away my socks and shoes due to the mud. Climbing back up was like going uphill in a river.
  5. Just spent 2.5 weeks in Hawaii. Came home about 2 days before all the earthquakes and volcanic activity!
  6. What? That answer should be "never." Yeah make whatever you can I guess. It is mildly irritating when he wears Adidas gear that is Cub blue. He stands out like a sore thumb when he is with other players. He immediately takes gear off or changes it post game.
  7. Each season, It has been entertaining to watch how pitchers try to attack him differently. He plugs various holes and makes it harder and harder on opposing pitchers.
  8. Not nearly as bad as packing into the horsefeathering red line. I normally walk 3 blocks down to Sheffield's for a beer and wait out the traffic. Takes 30 minutes for it to clear. We usually take our time getting out of the park, and the red line has never been too bad for me, except for the WS. That was just a wall of people that didn't move.
  9. At what point will Kris be making enough money a year to stop pimping various products in every picture? Everybody has endorsements, but you rarely ever see him wearing actual Cubs gear.
  10. Good jobs Carls Jr. Nice and efficient.
  11. 9. Curve-dongs Might want to see a doctor about that one.
  12. Time to sign a bunt happy lead off hitter! Imagine the slow rollers in that lush infield.
  13. https://www.funko.com/blog/article/toy-fair-new-york-reveals-mlb I find it hilarious that they are listed this way on that page:
  14. Kevin Orie Though what's funny is that after all those years of "Every 3B has sucked since Santo" narrative, we've had amazing runs with Aramis and now Bryant. As a teenager, I though Vance Law was going to be pretty good after his 88 season.
  15. I bought one of the gold championship Rizzo's, already had a Rizzo jersey tee. If I had to pick a second, it would probably be Bryant. The Rizzo jersey is the only jersey I've ever bought. They wife has a Soriano in the closet. She wants a Baez jersey now.
  16. I think they idea was (and still may be) to trade Santana for a pitcher given the OF surplus (he's been linked to the Indians for Salazar, Rays for Archer or Odorizzi, D'backs for Corbin off the top of my head and obviously more pieces would be involved for someone like Archer). But yeah they shouldn't have done the Cain deal and used that contract money plus other money (they are only in the mid $90s in payroll for the year) to sign Darvish even if they had to go to 6/160 or whatever to get him to go there. Sterns is playing 10 dimensional chess though or something, so don't question it. Considering Santana's 2018 projections are slightly lower than Cain, that $16M per they gave Cain seems even more odd when they could have put it towards Darvish and something else.
  17. Every time they fail to sign a player...BUT THEY DROVE UP THE CONTRACT!!
