  1. why are you posting [take your pick out of like 37 posters here]’s avatar image?
  2. ugh. what a downgrade. zaidman is terrible. i can't stand grote so i don't really care either way i find his inflection and the way he exaggeratedly enunciates many words insanely grating. i actually think i was confusing Zaidman and Dickerson from ESPN. is Dickerson the insanely meatbally dude that was one of the more irrationally anti-cutler guys out there? (i realize there's a lot of guys that fit that bill.) i do know zaidman's voice annoys me.
  3. ugh. what a downgrade. zaidman is terrible.
  4. my thought all along has been that a deal doesn't get done without including happ and almora. but i don't even think twice about pulling the trigger.
  5. no, i guess it does not.
  6. this feels like a great thing for the cubs on multiple fronts.
  7. man, so much smug in one front office between preller and cameron.
  8. petition to call tank w's wanks
  9. the only Cubs Convention I've ever been to was '04. i was absolutely certain that Maddux was going to come out during introductions. i think everyone was.
  10. lol, who was the safe experienced coaching choice? john fox
  11. I think it’s one or the other, not both. Right. He means contingent on whether it’s yelich or Cain. One is a trade (ostensibly precluding a trade for a pitcher) the other is a signing (allowing for a trade for a pitcher). Well, yes, the Cubs also need a pitcher.
  12. this feels like the si,ultaneous csstro trade and zobrist signing there has to be something else happening contingent upon yelich and cain I think it’s one or the other, not both.
  13. i knew the mulaney bit, but didn’t realize it had been turned into a meme. either way, it’s perfect.
  14. re: Cobb. i lost interest in him when we first heard of the $20 million aav demands, but now even if his price comes back down, i can't help but feel let down if that's who we end up with after being connected to darvish, machado, yelich and i guess throw jake in there too.
  15. he's just got his hands full with the Franken 2020 campaign.
  16. Since when has Heymans opinion on football ever mattered his opinion on anything has never mattered
  17. jon heyman is not impressed [tweet] [/tweet]
  18. were jimmy and rose ever elite at the same time though? legitimately asking. rose hasn't been peak rose for a long time now. i think if enough of these guys continue to show promise the order is: try to package a few of them and picks for star #1, and hopefully that star is enough to attract star #2 via free agency. I was meaning Noah. Maybe using "elite" was too strong of a word with him. But, he was a great second piece, for trying to lure LeBron and Co. ah, ok. yeah, even his peak--when he was making all-star teams, winning DPOY, and had the offense kind of running through him--was after rose fell off. he was certainly an attractive piece when lebron and co. were out there, but yeah, 2 elite guys is probably overstating it a bit.
  19. Eh, sure, it CAN happen.....But, you've got a horrible rep to deal with currently. Trading Jimmy hurts you somewhat too. You've got guys pairing up for super teams. That hurts. You've got a young roster that isn't attractive for immediate contention if you're getting a single guy.(at least for THIS upcoming year) And you've still got GarPax running the show. Who couldn't close when they had 2 guys who were elite at the time, to add around. Might not be 100% impossible, but the odds definitively aren't good. They ARE increasee with the addition of another elite youngster though. were jimmy and rose ever elite at the same time though? legitimately asking. rose hasn't been peak rose for a long time now. i think if enough of these guys continue to show promise the order is: try to package a few of them and picks for star #1, and hopefully that star is enough to attract star #2 via free agency.
  20. yuuuup. i remember when this was also a thing that people said about the cubs. until it wasn't. circumstances change. is it the cold weather thing or the poor management thing that makes people believe this? or something else?
  21. i mean, all but 4 of their players are 25 or younger. not that i was a fan of trading jimmy, but one that happened and they decided to tank, i was on board with rooting for a high draft pick obviously. but, maybe dumbass GarPax randomly stumbled into some talented young pieces? this does feel like a better situation than loading up the roster with disparate pieces like ancient Pau and broken down Rose and Noah to play an obsolete brand of basketball and make a run at the 4 seed every year. this team is fun so i say root for wins at this point. i'm still not sure they make the playoffs. but if they do, cool. and they may just have to shift gears to playing the free agency game to find their star rather than hoping for a top 3 draft pick.
  22. and we really dodged a bullet with this one
  23. im just honored to be confused with anybody, really
  24. oh yeah, this is the barstool Carl thing from a few years ago: http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=64015&sid=27d5fcac63113f6e1d5b98f1f60f827e
