    Those of us who remember the 2016 playoffs know full well how most of the vets went completely off the rails with their doom boners. Cripes, I'm pretty sure I banned imb because he was pissing me off right around Game 5 of the World Series. He got reinstated once cooler heads prevailed. So yeah, it helps knowing we all need a day after losses like this one.

    Welp.

    It feels like there are three teams that are fully capable of ending an extra innings game with a triple play. The fun part is, two of them are playing each other right now.

    It's possible they're talking out of both sides of their mouths with this one. If the new stadium is built in Chicago and is government-owned, the Bears won't have to worry about fluctuating real estate taxes and can likely exert enough control over concessions, ticket sales, etc. to make it more profitable than if the Bears built in AH. They also got Brandon Johnson to stake his political career on the damn thing, so that at least creates leverage both with Chicago and with AH. I still think this ends with a new stadium going up in AH, but who the hell knows at this point?

    Correct. And also, to an extent, JJ. I mean, if you're going to be wrong, do it with gusto.

    Credit where it's due, the Vikings aren't shy about trading up to get who they want.
  9. Outshined_One
    Vikes traded up for JJ, bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

    There are bad picks here, but there are no realistically bad picks here.

    Daniels will be fun to watch for six games before he breaks in half.

    Laurence Holmes interview of Brandon Johnson Good Lord, Brandon Johnson is a dunce.

    It's so insulting reading press releases and puff pieces about how many billions of dollars a new stadium on the lakefront will bring to the community. They're basically turning the existing site into a park, moving the damn thing down the street, adding a dome, and vaguely increasing seating capacity. I don't see a business district, hotels, housing, or anything else in the renderings. At best, this will result in a handful of new events being irregularly held at the new stadium during the NFL offseason.

    Lakefront Proposal Will Cost Taxpayers over $2bn horsefeathers. That.

    As horrifically depressing as it is to contemplate AK bringing the gang back together again for yet another season, I think at this point something has to give.

    It's been covered ad nauseam elsewhere, but you guys are both right. He's not locating and his stuff has regressed from last year. Granted, my vague recollection of Kyle's career is that he is usually a slow starter each season. The problem this season is, with his regression, that now means he's killing the bullpen in the early going since he's lucky to go 5 IP.

    Considering this road trip showed us that: (1) Ben Brown is legit; (2) Keegan Thompson is still somehow useful(?); and (3) Wesneski should never see Iowa again, I'll call it a success. It was discussed a bit this past offseason, but remember, going into 2023 there were a ton of questions about pitching depth that caught up with the team in August/September. Today, I feel much better about about this team's pitching depth.
  24. Outshined_One
    Except this year's draft suuuuuuuuuuuuucks. The fact that Clingan is seen as a possible top 3 pick in some circles should tell us something about the depth and quality of talent available this year.

    He tried to do too much with it. It was a routine out at 1st, but he wanted the double play and rushed it.
