    You vastly underestimate how often I check this forum for news then. If you don't have an auto-refresh extension running every 10 seconds on the tab with this thread then what are you even doing?

    Man this horsefeathers is just so fucked. I'm still pretty young and I guess I've just been delusional about how rampant this sort of culture really is. In my head it's like "I can't even begin to fathom how you could be so cruel to another person, and i know I would never do it and I'm pretty confident none of my friends would". That kind of thinking had led to a hopeful, optimistic impression of the world in which sexual predators and vile humans were few and far between. But all of this horsefeathers just keeps breaking over and over and over to the point that it's exhausting to keep up. The fact that so many can do these despicable things is downright horrifying, but the ones who cover it up or let it slide. Those in on the cover-up have a special place in hell. It makes me sick thinking about what the victims must feel. I don't know how any of the cover-up crew can look at themselves in the mirror, let alone look any of the victims in the eye.

    Dr. Larry Nassar had a prominent position within MSU atheletics and he was also in charge of trainers for US gymnastics and used his position to sexually assault girls at both. A bunch of people at MSU seem to have had knowledge of the situation but tried to cover it up. He got sentenced in the past couple of days to life in prison.

    To be perfectly honest they don't seem very delusional as a whole to me. They're seeing things through brewer-tainted glasses just like we are with the cubs. Most of that chunk there was pretty reasonable and thought out. Even the parts where they were discussing their hopes to catch the Cubs were presented more as outside chances (which is accurate) than declarative expectations.

    Not gonna defend the ref, that was absolutely terrible. I wonder what the player said to make the official see red to the point of issuing an ejection though. I'm sure he didn't eject him just for the physical contact there.

    Rizzo, Schwarber, Bryant, Contreras, and Javy.

    Just looking at some dodgers stats from last year. What on earth happened with Chris Taylor? Guy goes from seasons with 0 0 1 1 HR to 21 plus 3 in the playoffs in 2017. Out of no where.

    Personally, I'm not too worried about the #Rnagers getting him.

    GET EM BOTH AND OHTANI. And then we can go with a 6 man rotation to allow Ohtani more chances to hit between starts.
  10. philosophizer75
    I'm guessing their hope is that he is recognizable enough figure that he won't need the ties other coaches would to get the recruiting done.
  11. philosophizer75
    Odds that Theo has slept since he found out about this key to Ohtani's kingdom? I like to envision him at a typewriter, surrounded by empty booze bottles and crumpled up letters to Shohei, just typing away trying to make it perfect. I hope he succeeds, I really want Ohtani to be a Cub.

    Decent article, but it doesn't seem all that strange to me that "HE NEVER TOUCHED A BASEBALL TIL HE WAS 6"

    I'm gonna go with putting that level of turnaround on par with Kyle Schwarber's 2016. Except instead of a miraculously swift recovery of the Schwarmachine's knee, an equally miraculously high spike of Heyward's launch angle.

    Top right to bottom left for me. Bottom right to top left seems really awkward to write, as you'd be pushing your pen directly away from your hand to make that dash. I'm a righty. If I was lefty it seems like bottom right to top left would be more natural.
  15. philosophizer75
    Good move by them in my opinion. He'll be 35 when it's up and that seems like a really safe age to give yourself an option to move on from a player. He and Trout kinda quietly smashed the last couple months of the season and almost got the Angels into the playoffs. Couple of other good touches this offseason and they could be a solid team.
  16. philosophizer75
    Hypothetically, if the Cubs have another slow first half and Heyward is doing what he's done the last two seasons, I could see several stories that come out around the ASB like: HEYWARD'S 3 YEAR HIBERNATION, IS HE HOLDING THESE YOUNG CUBS BACK? CUBS PAID FOR SOLID GLOVE, BAT FROM J-HEY AND GOT ONLY A GLOVE AND A POOL NOODLE. I hope he turns horsefeathers around though. Would be nice to have a good version of him for a season or 5.
  17. philosophizer75
    That horn blaring every time the Astros score is annoying as horsefeathers.
  18. philosophizer75
    What a weird and terrible game of baseball. At least the cubs won, bring it on LA.

    If they were bluffing Roark with the intention to go Strasburg the whole time, all the extra frills and idiocy that has spewed forth in the past 48 hours as an organization from top to bottom would qualify them as a dumpster ass organization in my book. Not really upset or anything, just calling it how I see it. I'm channeling some inner Jake on this one. They can do whatever they want, it isn't going to matter.
  20. philosophizer75
    What a clowny situation. If he actually is sick or didn't want to pitch game 4, Strasburg has got to feel like he just got screwed over. If he wasn't sick and this was all a ruse then the Nationals are a dumpster ass organization and I hope they never win anything.

    Not thrilled with this lineup. Mainly just wondering why Mr. wet spaghetti arms zobrist is playing over sealboy.
  22. philosophizer75
    Our best players were great and won the game for us tonight. TBS sucks gigantic donkey dick, I had to restart my stream every half inning because it spazzed out every commercial break. I think Lester is gonna show up and be lights out tomorrow. Let's hope! Go cubs go.

    Also, the one game WC setup is perfect. The games are absolutely must win and everyone involved knows it. It isn't a surprise. Nothing unfair about it at all. Is it unfair that a team gets to advance to the next round after only winning one game? No? Then it isnt unfair that your season can be over after one game too. Win your damn division if you feel entitled to more than a coinflip to continue your season.

    Lol if there is one event with stakes and another that is effectively just an exhibition you're going to lose any semblance of a national audience and probably a lot of fans who feel (correctly) that their team is playing for peanuts. Why remove the gravitas from the tournament the way it is set up currently in favor of a one real series championship and then some other games?
