  1. Yikes bad turn through the rotation for Steele and Keegan
  2. I always kind of root for the Orioles whenever they are good. Happy for them if they are turning the corner.
  3. Pretty certain they retain the cap hit in that situation https://www.capfriendly.com/faq#retained
  4. It's better for the Blackhawks to trade Kane but whatever. At least fans can enjoy Kane and possibly Toews instead of having to root for the Blackhawks version of Frank Schwindel and Rafael Ortega
  5. What a surprise the Cubs take the lead and then lose. I’ve never seen a team lose so many games they’ve led
  6. Not that he's infallible but if Bill Belichick is dumping a 2019 1st round pick for a 7th rounder I'm pretty sure he sucks. But whatever, like pointed out its very low risk with a small chance of unlocking that potential. His skill set does fit well opposite Mooney if he can prove he can start.
  7. This image represents how I feel about them:
  8. --- Great to see Bryant's season line coming together too...He just had or is having twins soon? Good horsefeathers Wait wtf Alex Lange is a thing now? Always wondered if Theo-era Cubs were worse at drafting or developing. Seems to be some strong evidence it was the latter
  9. Lots of smoke that Kane is asking for a trade on Wednesday. Crazy how much talent the Blackhawks, Cubs and even Bears have traded or given away over the last calendar year Rizzo Baez Bryant Kimbrel A. Robinson Mack DeBrincat Dach Keith Kane? Toews? Massive exodus of talent in Chicago
  10. I'm glad the Bulls didn't horsefeathers around. Now Zach knows he's appreciated by the Bulls... I think there were slightly bad vibes about having to go out and sign an offer sheet with the Kings last time around to get his deal, though I understand why the Bulls did that given that he was only here for a half a season and coming off of major surgery at that point. But I do think/wonder how things would have gone if the Bulls pushed back about the player option or even worse, the max contract. He probably still signs with the Bulls but he almost certainly visits other teams and makes them a little nervous.
  11. A Theo drafted pitcher finally made the all star team - congrats Paul Blackburn
  12. The Cubs have had the lead in 31 of their 52 losses this year. That seems incredibly bad.
  13. Congrats to Happ for making the ASG though. And the Contreras brothers
  14. Score 8 runs in the first 3 innings and aren’t even going to end the 3rd with the lead
  15. Nice work Marquee https://twitter.com/WatchMarquee/status/1546200079077236739 Edit, looks like they deleted it....they tweeted the Cubs lineup today and the message talked about Suzuki having a 1.030 OPS since his return...but he's not in the lineup
  16. Yeah I’m not watching no extra innings. Peace out Cubs
  17. Hurry up and trade Robertson before he blows his trade value He has absolutely no idea where his pitches are going. Either finish this game off or let the Dodgers walk off. Not dealing with extra innings
  18. Ugh Seyia drops a fly ball and costs the Cubs a run
  19. Anderson shoves Happ to the ground on a play at the plate. Will be interesting to see if anything comes of it.
  20. Hoerner solo HR. Keegan got into trouble 1 inning but got out of it unscathed and has 5 shutout innings so far. Cubs up 1-0
  21. 8 years to the day Germany put a 7 spot on Brazil, Philadelphia pays tribute by putting a 7 spot on DC United
  22. I feel like I heard something about Stroman, Miley and Smyly all starting to throw like 10 or so days ago. I would assume at least 1 of them would be back in the next 2 weeks, no? Edit: Just googled it, Stroman and Smyly are likely to start this weekend
  23. Beth Mowins is fine. Sutcliffe is awful, though. I was gonna say, what’s wrong with Beth Mowins? She’s solid.
  24. I mean they did do bottom to dynasty in 4 years before right? Actually the rebuild sort of looks like the last Blackhawks down period. After a long run of playoff teams they started missing the playoffs and tried to make moves shake things up and stay in the mix, even making a random playoff appearance once. Soon after they made the conscious decision to gut rebuild. So maybe 4 years? The Avs were terrible in 2016 and were in cup contention by 2020 and won it in 2022
