All I have to say is that I’m glad I was glumly walking around Wrigleyville after Lindor somehow robbed Fowler of an RBI single and made it look routine. I was too scared to watch a potential Indians walkoff so I followed the Bottom of the 9th based on the sounds of the bars I was walking by. I never saw the Kipnis foul ball in real-time and thus did not shave 2 years off my life expectancy -

Bears 2018 Offseason: Matt Nagy Hired as Head Coach
UMFan83 replied to Outshined_One's topic in Other Sports
Gotta give rmack credit there. He just layed the smackdown on Gabriel -
Based on our pythag record, we’ve played like a 109 win team this year (29-15 pythag record). That’s pretty good considering until recently our starters had a negative WAR for the season.

Agreed

I swear like 75% of Zobrists HRs as a Cub have been at GABP

Pop out to second is kinda like a homer for Heyward

Piling on to the tweet earlier in the week: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=lf&stats=fld&lg=all&qual=y&type=1&season=2018&month=0&season1=2018&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0 -
40 pitch 1st the afternoon after playing a doubleheader nice. Thankfully Q managed to keep the pen rested most in game 2.

You’ll have to be more specific
-
Except for the game tying 2 out double in the 8th earlier today

You should write a “Wilson sucks ass” article. Worst case it’s cathartic, best case you fix him.

What an unbelievably bad baseball player
-
DFA this bum

At least we aren’t the Nats. Because of 2 scheduled off days and 3 rainouts they will have gone from last Sunday to tomorrow without playing a full game

There are SO many ad reads during games now. It's hard to believe Pat can broadcast the game sometimes between shilling Binny's, Benjamin Moore, Office Revolution, etc. I wanted to make a joke about how Pat should move his scorecard business out to the office park in the suburbs, but I couldn't remember which suburb it is (Bethel Park? Melrose Park?) Bedford Park

Ugh it’s probably not a big deal but a run like that was the only thing able to successfully slow down the Super Cubs in 2016

Heyman making horsefeathers up again https://frsbaseball.com/mlb/cubs/heyman-cubs-could-be-landing-spot-for-manny-machado/ He wants to will it into existence so he cant be wrong about not including the Cubs as a top destination for Harper

Nit: The first highlight is from Game 1, which we lost. That was the only game of the series in which we wore gray. [expletive] youre right, and I even thought that when I was looking for a gif but then somehow forgot when i selected the final gif. For shame

Sorry I couldn't help myself (this isn't negative to the cubs but funny) (whoops) https://twitter.com/jamfan40/status/794028664438587392 https://twitter.com/jamfan40/status/794068472842113024

I like Porter, but we need to be careful about drafting players with back issues. I'm sure the Bulls will do a full physical and MRI on him. I want to avoid drafting a player who is chronically injured. Porter has a high ceiling, but he also has a low floor (could bust). We all remember how much potential Jabari Parker had, and injuries have taken their toll on him. He's not the same player anymore and that's why Milwaukee will let him walk. I am worried about Porter's health and slightly above-average athleticism. There's the problem with where the Bulls are at and where they are drafting. They have no superstar, no go-to guy, they go safe and they might get a 5th guy in their rotation or more likely 6th-7th man. That does nothing. They need a superstar, they've failed miserably at getting that in FA, they need to do it in the draft. They're probably better off having the pick bust and stay around 25 wins rather than drafting a guy who might help them get to 30 wins. I want them to draft guys with the highest ceilings, if that comes with the biggest risk, it's what they have to do. This exactly. At their spot in the draft and in their position, to get a potential superstar you have to get one with risks. Many had Porter #1 on their draft boards before the season started.

My gif theme is going to be 2016 Playoff Highlights. Need to post them one last time since apparently we're supposed to let it go now. Here's one from all 11 games the Cubs won: NLDS: NLCS: World Series:

[tweet] [/tweet] Jesus that’s all you need to know about anything. About 3 hours after the Cubs won the World Series he is bitching about a November NBA game.

It’s fine to be disappointed and frustrated. To call the team with the 2nd best RD in the NL a “bad team” is another thing entirely. RD is not a sure bet predictor of how good a team is (although it’s not a bad one) but it tells me there’s a good team in there
