    If Yu is any kind of guide for that kind of....forget I said anything. Ha, valid point. It doesn't mean its given or anything but I do think there is a slight advantage for the Dodgers if they get him.

    So glad we finally matched the Brewers move to make the IF defense considerably worse.
  3. UMFan83
    guess its happening

    Sounds like the Dodgers grabbed Harper off waivers. If they can work out a deal, that's bad news for this offseason if you believe that having 2 months of experience in LA will at all affect his odds of signing with the Cubs.

    So that stuff yesterday was true. You can thank me for the hot scoop Also, horsefeathers that dude

    Yeah eventually I will need a 3rd QB for obvious reasons. Actually, the league used to be 2 QBs start, now its 1 QB, 1 QB/RB/WR/TE flex, but everyone starts 2 QBs unless they can't because QBs score more points (this league a passing TD is +6). So there is some wiggle room if i get caught in a bye week situation without 2 startable QBs. To give you an idea of how QB crazy this league is at the top of the draft: 14 QBs were taken in the first 3 rounds. Blake Bortles was a 4th round pick. Good point though, I really should have grabbed Jackson as my last pick and had him as a 16th round keeper for next year. Kicking myself now.

    Yeah in case anyone forgot, he was the only that had the 'scoop' that Darvish signed back in like early January when it wasn't until the end of February when he actually signed.

    FWIW Murphy has a -0.8 bWAR this year.

    This is a very very fringe rumor that will probably be shot down in like 2 seconds but there are people on twitter discussing Daniel Murphy and the Cubs. Joel Sherman did report a few mins ago that a team that was not the Yankees claimed Murphy but that’s it for legitimate news sources and obviously the Cubs were not mentioned. I’m only mentioning this because a) I’m bored and b) the people saying there is a trade happening have like 4-5k followers so it’s not just some random fake twitter account. Do what you want with the “info” [tweet] [/tweet]

    Anyone want to do a rate my team thread this year? I mentioned my draft in another thread but...12 team, 0.5 PPR, had the 2nd pick. This is an annual league and last year my team had a rash of injuries so I sold off guys for 2nd round picks from the top 2 teams in the league. So I started with the 2nd, 13th, 14th, 23rd and 26th picks. Because of keepers and other trades, I did not have a pick from rounds 5-8. Start 2 QB, 3 RB, 4 WR and this league annually has a huge QB run early in the draft. So all that explained: QB1 - K. Cousins (3.2) QB2 - A. Smith (4.11) RB1 - L. Bell (1.2) RB2 - D. Cook (5.2 - Keeper) RB3 - A. Collins (7.2 - Keeper) WR1 - J. Jones (2.1 - Trade from last year) WR2 - M. Thomas (2.2 - Trade from last year) WR3 - T. Hill (2.11) WR4 - M. Goodwin (9.2) TE - T. Burton (10.11) DEF - Denver (12.11) K - J. Elliott (16.11) BN RB - Aaron Jones (13.2) BN RB - S. Perine (15.2 - dropped for Adrian Peterson today) BN WR - D. Parker (11.2) BN WR - C. Godwin (14.11) Obviously my QBs need work although I don't hate them they just lack a top tier guy. But RB and WR turned out great IMO, Goodwin and Burton seem to be rising up peoples boards daily and Peterson is a lottery ticket.

    I was going to see if I could log in using passwords like "Neifi123" or "Spankingit" but the language on the login page scared me
  12. UMFan83
    I’m not quite there but obviously things aren’t going as smoothly as we anticipated 2 years ago.
  13. UMFan83
    We did it! 4 straight games of only 1 solo HR each. Record setting Cubs offense!
  14. UMFan83
    Is it weird that I have such an extreme aversion to watching other teams walk off the Cubs that I turn games off when the opponent is batting and then switch back if the Cubs come back up?
  15. UMFan83
    Umps are getting worse. They just are
  16. UMFan83
    There’s also Addison Russell Not that it was completely his fault
  17. UMFan83
    You’ve gotta be horsefeathering kidding me
  18. UMFan83
    For sure this is not pretty baseball. Somewhere in the US a kid is tuning into his first baseball game and is thinking “this horsefeathers sucks I’m gonna play some more Fortnite”
  19. UMFan83
    Was just thinking that at least we will start getting into the bad part of the Pirates pen but I bet you Chatwood could shut down the Cubs offense right now.
  20. UMFan83
    Do not deserve to win and besides losing would make this a record breaking weekend for the offense.
  21. UMFan83
    horsefeathers this horsefeathers
  22. UMFan83
    Well tomorrow is our last off day until mid-September so hopefully it’s what is needed to fix the offense.
  23. UMFan83
    Send Caratini to Iowa because he at least hits there and can’t help the Iowa Cubs
  24. UMFan83
    You’ll have to explain to me how you are allowed to stick your foot out to block the plate for the runner is legal. I’m sure I’m missing something
  25. UMFan83
    Yeah they are going to overturn that. Pretty damn blatant
