    I keep waiting for the inevitable in-game guillotine moment that marks the unofficial end of the season. Something like LaTroy and Dempster leaving the mound covered in diarrhea in 2004 or Game 163 last season or Juan Pierre leading off on Opening Day in 2006. This season has been a painful slog and I just can't see it ending well. Maybe it happened last night, but I feel like something more dramatic and gut-wrenching is merited.

    You can make a good case for Chris Archer back in 2011. After that, it's luminaries like Mark Pawelek, Angel Guzman, and Donnie Veal.

    Remember when the draft was just a conference call that took roughly 45 minutes?
  4. Outshined_One
    Looking at the box score, did Chatwood get Freaky Fridayed and had his brain swapped with a competent pitcher, or did he just get really lucky with bad swings?
  5. Outshined_One
    Geez, I thought we'd at least make it through the first week without an extended thread on lineup rosterbation.
  6. Outshined_One
    If you asked me yesterday which teams each of those pitchers currently played for, I probably would have gone 1 for 5 at best.
  7. Outshined_One
    I'm just saying, Parkee needs to return that tiki idol he accidentally took from Hawaii in the offseason.
  8. Outshined_One
    This times a billion. Without 2016, tonight would have been agonizing and I would have been steaming for three weeks. But with it? Eh. Get 'em next year.
  9. Outshined_One
    Something tells me he didn't have much to do with the offense's woes. The Cubs have a bunch of streaky guys prone to periodic slumps who went into the tank at the same time.
  10. Outshined_One
    Um. What? Really? Holy crap. If this gets done I'll be legitimately excited for this season.

    David Bote is the kind of player the Cardinals would have called up in 2004/2005/2006. Relative unknown who gets called up to fill in for a major part of the lineup with 0 expectations, then proceeds to do nothing but hit timely home runs.

    I would feel okay if the Cubs opted to go dumpster diving for relief help on the waiver wire. I like Ziegler, but I don't think they have the farm to trade for a high level reliever and I don't foresee anyone on the 25 man getting moved until the offseason.
  13. Outshined_One
    Porter is falling... I was not a fan of him at 7, but if he falls to 14? That would be a different story.
  14. Outshined_One
    I am in favor of a trade down. Porter's medicals are terrifying and Carter is underwhelming. But that's me.
  15. Outshined_One
    Oh thank God.
  16. Outshined_One
    I don't trust the coaching staff or the medical team. Bamba really intrigues me out of the possible picks at 7, but if he is gone, I don't trust the team doctors with Porter and I don't think the coaches can properly develop guys like Sexton or Turner.
  17. Outshined_One
    The more I hear about this draft, the more I wonder if it wouldn't be a bad thing if the Bulls traded down a few spots. Their options at 7 seem like guys with massive boom/bust potential, or low risk low ceiling guys who are just uninspiring. If this draft is supposedly deep, would anyone in the 10-15 range be willing to trade up with the Bulls? Getting future picks or additional picks (hi LA Clippers!) might be the way to go if none of the guys available are worth it.
  18. Outshined_One
    Maybe the Cubs didn't have any pre-draft handshake overslot deals?
  19. Outshined_One
    His Cubs entry is apropos: I'd be okay with Hoerner doing that.
  20. Outshined_One
    Trade down or not, I like the slate of guys who will be available in the second round for the Bears.
  21. Outshined_One
    Not exactly what I wanted, but I can't complain.
  22. Outshined_One
    I see a lot of Rex Grossman in that pick.
  23. Outshined_One
    This team has way too many holes to merit sacrificing picks/players in a trade up, in my opinion. I think Chubb could be a beast, but I prefer quantity over quality at this point for the Bears.
  24. Outshined_One
    Use this thread for non-Bears draft stuff and general draft news and commentary. Preliminarily, LOL Browns.
  25. Outshined_One
    So, if the NBA rigs the lottery for Bulls again, what are everyone's thoughts on Ayton vs. Doncic vs. Bagley for the Bulls? Is the gap between Ayton and those two really so wide, or is there a realistic chance they would go Doncic or Bagley #1 overall?
