    The clip of him calling the home run in the middle of his apology is hilarious. Run this tape on a loop on his tombstone.
  2. The_Achiever
    Hell yeah cubs.

    Fernando Tatis jr is so damn good. That trade will haunt rich Hahn for the rest of his life. Is it basically the mlb equivalent of Ryan pace trading up to take trubisky over mahomes?
  4. The_Achiever
    David Ross rules.

    I live out of market now so excited to see this one. Yu gets to pitch against his buddy Yelich.
  6. The_Achiever
    It’s Alex Gonzalez.
  7. The_Achiever
    I haven’t watched him at all but is he worse than Soler? Soler is Andre Dawson-like compared to Eloy.
  8. The_Achiever
    Eloy is maybe the worst outfielder I’ve ever seen.
  9. The_Achiever
    Keep it going baby
  10. The_Achiever
    I’ve legit never heard of Phegley.
  11. The_Achiever
    Oh man that crazy infield play.
  12. The_Achiever
    Like this move!
  13. The_Achiever
    Will never be caught short on TP ever again.

    I love this article and re-read it semi-regularly. It really captures the desperation, anxiety and destiny in the air that night. It's hard not to be down on the Cubs right now but also nice to be reminded how much it all paid off. It'll also be nice to have a walking reminder of that on the team this year. Would be nice if we got him a ring this year for his troubles, too.

    He really was nasty in 2018.
  16. The_Achiever
    I wish he played CF but this seems decent.
  17. The_Achiever
    I feel pretty decent about the pen next year. I would be pretty fired up about this team in general had they signed a good leadoff/CF option and/or someone good to take Hamels spot on the rotation.
  18. The_Achiever
    I could see Arenado using his opt out if the Cardinals don't quickly put a great team around him. Also he's not the same player away from Coors. Wishful thinking I suppose but I already think the Cubs are looking at another 3rd place finish so whatever.
  19. The_Achiever
    The Cubs are doing a solid impression of the Hawks trajectory, minus two championships. The highlight of my sports year was the 6-7 Illini Football team.
  20. The_Achiever
    Titans/NE on Saturday Night looks fun. Could be the end of an era.
  21. The_Achiever
    They should just make Rizzo the lead off hitter and be done with it. It's fine for stretches but then you lose your most consistent middle of the order bat. Plus he's just a terrible baserunner. I think they hung on to Almora too long. He's the guy I would have traded, and now his value has plummeted. I actually hope they just give the CF job to Happ and let him run with it. Still doesn't solve the leadoff issue though.
  22. The_Achiever
    He might be Jon Jay (or worse) but this is the attainable/reasonably priced FA I wanted this offseason. So tired of the revolving door at leadoff and CF. We've never replaced what Fowler gave us in 15/16. Just someone to get on base at a good clip would be huge. What a BS offseason this is. Just a few tweaks was all I was hoping for. FFS!
  23. The_Achiever
    Anderson had a fantastic season last year, but seems to be reasonably adequate if he does come back to earth. Eloy looks to be a superstar slugger at 22 years old assuming injuries don't get in his way. Madrigal looks like the old-fashioned gritty 2B (certainly more Nellie Fox than Ryne Sandberg), but he could have a decent ML career. Not sure why you don't like them. Anderson had a good year at the plate but I don't like him defensively. In fact I think they have a number of defensive liabilities. They're going to have to out-slug their competition, which they might be able to do. They've definitely improved but I don't think they're scaring the elite AL teams.
  24. The_Achiever
    The White Sox have been busy this offseason. Jerry finally spent a little bit of dough, but they still seem like a fringe WC team to me. Not a huge fan of Anderson, Madrigal or Eloy really.
  25. The_Achiever
    I would be pretty excited if he was pitching over Tyler chatwood or Alec mills. This offseason sucks.
