    So much for Bulls adding Okafor

    i'm not ruling out Cobb, but i kind of get the feeling there's a stronger market for him that pushes him beyond what the cubs are willing to commit to, so they jumped on Chatwood. And then, yeah, the other rotation spot will be a bigger impact guy. Yeah and if they get Ohtani, they would get him for basically nothing (ok fine ~$21m in year 1) and Ohtani seems to be comfortable with a 6 man rotation so it wouldn't be that difficult to see them going after Cobb as well if they wanted to.

    I think its 3/$40 for Chatwood

    Geez.... Career at home (almost all COL): .841 OPS against, 5.25 ERA, 1.628 WHIP Career on road: .692 OPS against, 3.31 ERA, 1.34 WHIP

    Hmm...sorry my first thought is how this relates to Ohtani. I wonder if its now an Ohtani or Cobb situation instead of Ohtani and Cobb, unless they are willing to commit to a full time 6 man rotation if Ohtani were to choose the Cubs. Anyways, I know a lot of people liked him at least a little bit. Can those people go over why they like him? Career 4.58 FIP, 4.2 BB/9, 6.2 K/9

    I had a dream that no one knew what Ohtani’s decision was as the season started and then randomly in the Cubs first game of the year, he came on in relief and struck out the side to close the game.

    Or the Dodgers. I think no one else has restrictions right? Padres are restricted too. Could be the Angels, collecting pool space for their recent Braves free agent spree. Doesn’t that come out of next years pool?
  8. UMFan83
    that doesn’t bode well for us. Or the Dodgers. I think no one else has restrictions right?

    Brisbee also predicted Ohtani (and Addison Reed) to the Cubs https://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2017/12/6/16740180/2017-2018-mlb-free-agent-predictions-sf-giants

    The Bulls had the last pitch to LeBron on 2010 and we know how that turned out.
  11. UMFan83
    Ok guess this will wrap up pretty soon then. Surprised he didn’t sign with the Cubs already
  12. UMFan83
    I mean it impacts them on a national level but in terms of regional sports network, NBC is not affected by this

    Well this is an absolutely silly ass thing to say The Cubs were totally gonna offer him a 300k signing bonus until they found out the Yankees weren’t involved. Now they are only going to offer him 300k

    I'm not sure it's crushing. It might have been had Hossa not gone on LTIR. There are worse D men making the same same as Seabrook. With reduced minutes he hasn't looked that bad if you weren't comparing him to what he used to be. Doesn't seem like Toews or Keith are nearly the players they were either (although Keith's contract is much more palatable). Not sure what can be done but I'll still take it considering they won it 3 times. If you asked me in 2006 I would have said that never could happen and it was awesome. Yeah even if the title contending era is over I will never complain about it ending too soon with 3 titles in the bag. It just sucks that they may be hitting that point right when the Bulls and Bears are dumpster fires. Really shitty season for Chicago sports since the Cubs were eliminated.

    This stretch of 5 games in 7 days was going to be tough even with Crawford so that somewhat alleviates the devastating nature of the timing of his injury. No doubt. Would have liked to have seen better than 1-2-2 in that stretch. I have no idea what to think of this team, some games they look like they are piecing it together, other games they look overmatched. Obviously we've been unlucky in OTs which has cost us some points. I guess overall they look like a fringe playoff team, though not a 2012 Kings type of 8 seed that can get hot and win a title (though I wouldnt completely discount it with the way Crawford has been playing). And as usual they will not have any cap space to add pieces at the deadline so this is what we're getting.

    Psh, over 3 hours from NYC to London. How about 39 minutes from NYC to Shanghai? https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/29/16383048/elon-musk-spacex-rocket-transport-earth-travel

    Twitter is already speculating that Giants ownership is communicating with McDaniels through backchannels about becoming the new HC. Whether or not you want McDaniels, it would suck to have one of the names off the board already because the McKaskey's don't want to fire a coach midseason.

    "Right Javy?" "That's right gorilla suit guy"

    Can't wait to see another craptastic performance against a team coming off a short week. I didn't even realize the Bengals blew it last night. If they would have won, they'd still be in the thick of the AFC playoff race but now their hopes are likely gone.

    [tweet] [/tweet] Obviously been rumored for awhile. Sports connection: [tweet]https://twitter.com/ericjackson/status/938055430160314369[/tweet] Doesn't really impact Chicago sports as CSN is NBC Sports now.

    http://www.espn.com/blog/chicago/cubs/post/_/id/46263/in-race-for-shohei-ohtani-dont-count-the-cubs-out-just-yet Article from Jesse Rogers. He does report that several Cubs players have been asked to keep their calendars open in case they need to fly to LA for the meeting with Ohtani

    Wish he visited Chicago last weekend when it was actually decently warm

    I forgive you because your username makes me smile every time I think about what it is referencing.
