  1. We could have had Adam Jones for nothing. He might suck and can't even be a CF anymore for all I know, though.
  2. They can't, but I fully support his decision to do it.
  3. I horsefeathering hate April baseball in cold cities.
  4. I think we all rightfully question a guy like Acuna signing an extension the way he did, but then I look at KB, and I go, 'Maybe it's not such a bad thing to do.' KB already has enough money so it doesn't matter, but man, I'm not sure that contract is going to look that big for a 30-year-old KB.
  5. Oh, man. That was some 2015, 2017 and 2018 Cubs right there.
  6. If we could just bottle that one or two innings where Yu looks dominant.
  7. I feel like we say that often, it's just that he can't put it together for more than four innings. You say that like Joe didn't panic and pull him early last time out. I guess. He did panic, but it wasn't like he was cruising and giving us a bunch of fuzzy feelings.

  9. Wasn’t it cold when he shoved us in the 2017 NLCS? Not sure. I do know it would have been awesome to get the 2017 NLCS Yu for at least a half season, but that Yu seems gone now.
  10. It's weird to highlight Yu's struggles in cold weather when he pretty much sucks in all conditions.
  11. If you're Dan Vogelbach it is.
  12. Didn't get to see much of the game. Was there a lot of booing for three hours?
  13. I'm the opposite. I hope the Cubs have a great game and everybody cheers and leaves happy. Those aren't mutually exclusive scenarios That's true. That said, I've already heard a lot of cheering. Hope you aren't too disappointed and that things can turn around by the end of the game.

  15. I want both, but if I had to pick, give me that one glorious flag every living Cubs fan had never gotten to see raised before 2016. It would be cool to be a team like the Dodgers and have a period of sustained success, but at the end of the day, we won a championship and they haven't won one since Ronald Reagen was in the White House and Die Hard was the horsefeathering top movie at the theaters. Now, let's first see if this window is even shut before we all write the Cubs' obit. If it is, the big thing will have been Theo missing the opportunity to extend the success with a series of awful big moves since December 2016. Screw up one, fine. Screw up two, you still can perhaps get away with it. Screw up all of them? Yeah, that's going to hurt. But even during Boston's huge run this century, there have been some stinker seasons. If Theo is the Hall of Fame GM many of us believe he is, he will figure out a way to turn this around before he leaves no matter how bleak it may look to some.
  16. Huh? I think he was saying that during an era when every hitter strikes out, we don't have any pitchers who seem to be able to strike them out.
  17. I 100 percent don't believe you 100 percent believe that. I'd celebrate if Heyward can just slug .400.
  18. Although I said we'd get swept before the series and still think we will, the early reaction to a 1-0 deficit after one inning does make me think this is ripe for a 12-3 win by the Cubs and everybody laughing at the early posts.
  19. Wasn't he going to have to go back to his old motion every time somebody got on base, though?
  20. I think it would have to be. How many teams even start the season with a nine game road trip? And the only way it could be worse would be if one team started 9-0 and the other started 0-9. The only other time I can remember it happening is us last year. Imagine having a 9 game road trip to start the season 2 years in a row If the season is always going to start in March now, I think it's going to happen to us a lot.
  21. Theo is so much better at the smaller signings and trades.
  22. Whatever the answer is, it's not this much.
