  1. petition to call tank w's wanks
  2. 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.
  3. lol, who was the safe experienced coaching choice? john fox
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. i knew the mulaney bit, but didn’t realize it had been turned into a meme. either way, it’s perfect.
  7. 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.
  8. he's just got his hands full with the Franken 2020 campaign.
  9. Since when has Heymans opinion on football ever mattered his opinion on anything has never mattered
  10. jon heyman is not impressed [tweet] [/tweet]
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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?
  14. 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.
  15. and we really dodged a bullet with this one
  16. im just honored to be confused with anybody, really
  17. 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
  18. barstool is not at all a reputable reporter on the level of the big guys but its more legit than a wet butt type rumor so my guess is this is happening pretty sure the wetbutt dude had some kind of connection to barstool as they both had the quintana trade the night prior. wetbutt might’ve been barstool’s source. also pretty sure barstoolcarl had a rumor a year or two that was totally super definitely going to happen and it never did. There was even a hard date put on the rumor. I wish I could remember what it was. I’m not sure he’s got sources. Maybe he’s gotten some since then. unrelatedly, i knew barstoolcarl in college.
  19. hold onto your (wet) butts. lots of random twitter chatter in the last few minutes saying Darvish to Cubs.
  20. this question still stands
  21. hahaha. i was just at that bar this weekend. yeah, no connection to the twins guy.
  22. lmao “we secured four of the earlier Chatwoods that were reinforced now”
