  1. Game starting in a delay, time for Heyward to give the second half kick off speach in the weight room.
  2. Yeah who knows with Beane and also maybe some teams are turned off a bit from Gray's injurys lately or being a smaller dude. Maybe something like Monty, Almora, Jeimer and Zagunis will be enough for him and Doolittle. Beane is a weird enough guy too maybe something like Paredes being the main piece gets it done.
  3. I'm not going to lose sleep over losing a potential version of Josh horsefeathering Harrison
  4. Holy horsefeathers check out this take from a Brewers forum, lol "I like this trade for the Brewers, but not really because of how it affects us this year. For this year, the only difference is that the Cubs now have one more incredibly tough pitcher that we have to face, which is obviously bad for us. However, by gutting the top end of their farm system, this puts the Cubs into a pretty limited competitive window, rather than Stearns' approach of trying to make sure we consistently have talent coming up from the minors. Hopefully this will coincide with the Brewers rebuild just hitting its stride, and we'll have an opening to dominate the NL Central for years while the Cubs go through another rebuild." More good stuff and by good I mean some of the dumbest stuff I've seen lately here....... http://forum.brewerfan.net/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=35541
  5. Really like it, sucks to see Eloy go but he's an A ball hitter and this FO can find another one of him in INT FA. Glad we moved Cease now since it's far more likely he dies than contributes to the ML level because TINSTAAPP. The years of control is huge and Quintana could put up ace or near ace level production for the life of the deal. Also another lefty starter to throw vs Dodgers and Nats in the playoffs with their best hitters being left-handed.
  6. Has he only made one start since his other one that got pushed back?
  7. Even tho Javy has made good strides I think Russell has as good a ceiling and much more easily attainable I think or used to think Russell had a super high ceiling that he was capable of reaching someday, but I don't feel that way anymore. I don't think A. Russell is our B. Larkin v2.0, but instead is our version of B. Crawford w/o the long, flowing majestic hair. I think Baez has the much higher ceiling, but I also doubt he'll ever reach it. Both are still valuable -- just not as valuable as Lindor, Seager or Correa. I don't overly disagree, but I'd like to think this is a bottoming out point for Russell and an upswing is coming. I think he can still reach the Seager/Lindor class easier than Javy can. I hope a lot of Russell's drop off can be explained by the shoulder (hopefully nothing serious) and whatever was going on at home. And I'm not dismissing the DV stuff (if that's true F him) and even without it he's still a dickbag but still has/had to rightfully face some consequences for decisions he's made and has had that carry over to the field (again all brought on by idiot decisions/judgement best case scenario, worst case he's a wife beater and can go horsefeathers off for whatever we can get in a trade).

  9. How and why is Joe West the HP ump in the ASG?
  10. http://cdn3.meme.am/cache/instances/folder583/500x/56411583/will-ferrell-old-school-debater-what-happened-i-blacked-out.jpg
  11. This loser talk needs to stop. We were promised a juggernaut, donging machine of a dynasty and I want it right now god damn it
  12. Feels like we get a walk off win anyways
  13. Look at Clint getting cute thinking he's smart bringing his closer in for a 4 out save. KB dong incoming
  14. Well horsefeathers here we are, be better you sucky bunch of sucks
  15. Under the assumption Archer/Stroman aren't available outside of a godfather offer and Gray requires Eloy+ I'm all just for using our money and like Caritini and Jeimer to grab a pitcher who should have elite stuff (at least get the AL to NL bump) and at least fills a rotation spot for a year or 2.
  16. Get it done Ricketts/Theo http://68.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m96ryn75bK1qd9agqo3_500.gif
  17. No, the fatalism thread is the 2017 version of the fatalism thread Well someonone better get off their ass and start a real fatalism thread
  18. Gonna be great when we go all 2008 on the Brewers in the 2nd half
  19. Is this the 2017 version of the fatalism thread?
  20. I'm going to Vegas tomorrow I'm putting money on the Cubs to win the WS. You fools be damned
  21. In the 3rd inning vs a avg at best pitcher and horsefeathers bullpen and on a day the ball is carrying, yeah it is a missed opportunity and horsefeathers managing Nah, this team is butt. Okay, guy
  22. Yeah, real missed opportunity for it be only 5-1 instead of 9-1. In the 3rd inning vs a avg at best pitcher and shitty bullpen and on a day the ball is carrying, yeah it is a missed opportunity and shitty managing
