  1. i mean, i'm not saying he's necessarily wrong, but he also is acting like he's the only one putting that idea out there. i've seen it all over cubs twitter/blogosphere.
  2. He who smelt it, dealt it. Nah, but this is as good a time as any to confess that I was the one who got mad at IMB for some dumb reason and tried to send him GOT spoilers at his work e-mail. I think he blamed Sully. i'm no got watcher, so i could be wrong or i could be missing a joke, but didn't' that cause a huge blow up between them? lmao
  3. It'd be funnier if it were IMB. Wittier. Tree makes sense. it's def tree
  4. tree love the double l willson
  5. what the horsefeathers did OMC find his way into the cubs front office? [tweet] [/tweet]
  6. rubbing chin emoji we'll see but i've thought all along the teams that were most vocal/leaked in their pursuit might just be doing a dog and pony show for the PR (i.e. phillies and white sox), not that I don't take the phillies seriously. the white sox probably figure they have nothing to lose and can also get a few more season ticket renewals/applicants.
  7. [tweet] [/tweet]
  8. Sidenote: i honestly don't care what a harper signing would do to our chances to sign 30 year old KB to a monstrous deal.
  9. No idea what will happen but I wouldnt doubt if Bryce definitely wants to be a Cub. I met and talked alot of baseball with Harper once. He did say him and KB talk about being in the same lineup "all the time"... this was 2 summers ago. I know some people who have spoken with KB's dad who say he always tries to play up that they weren't really good friends growing up and it's overblown and blah blah. But maybe they are better friends now. It sure seems like it. And maybe (actually, no, not maybe) KB's dad is just one of those horsefeathers baseball dads (yes, he is).
  10. If we're not gonna stop posting this stuff [tweet] [/tweet]
  11. all i got from this is it seems like it's gonna be a long horsefeathering time before the bears are slated to play in vegas
  12. this is what it looks like when you blindly buy into propaganda
  13. Most of us are! For the record, I want Bryce Harper, too. But let's just be grateful we all decided to be Cubs fans, because I imagine to small and mid market fans, we sound like some real spoiled bitches. Those owners aren't poor either.
  14. HA...i mean if only in the sense that concussions are a red herring (at least for football) to try to make it seem like football would be safer if concussions are reduced. the constant collisions are the real issue, as the brain is being dinged up constantly. i'd imagine it's much the same for other high contact sports.
  15. additionally, does anyone remember how the whole courting maddon while renteria was still employed (and had been declared back for 2015) thing went?
  16. I feel like there's also a reason even the most pessimistic local reports refuse to completely slam the door on it by couching what they say with stuff like "as of right now" or "if they move money" and whatever else they've used.
  17. The Lester thing was treated with a lot of skepticism, IIRC, because the Cubs were still terrible and it was a lot of money. The Heyward thing was treated with skepticism because people didn't think they would go out and make a huge signing two years in a row, IIRC. The Tanaka thing was treated with a ton of skepticism because of the rebuild "they're not gonna spend big on this guy when they're 8 million years away blah blah" But there were obviously rumors about all of them. It wasn't completely out of nowhere.
  18. They also didn’t tell everyone they couldn’t afford him. The Otani courting was also very public as it happened Even though I'm not even sure that's true (at least, being made so from the Cubs side of things), there was just about nothing to negotiate with Ohtani because teams could either pay him nothing or a little more than nothing.
  19. lmao
  20. anthony miller just javy'd jordan howard at a little past the 50 second mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyjHpvDzlpM
  21. and scott boras liking ZERO leaks lol
  22. That's a really good comparison actually. Incidentally, Helton wore No. 17 because of Gracie. puke
  23. John DeFilippo fired. He was one of the main guys I wanted the Bears to hire. I might be dumb.
  24. I feel bad for hating latroy as much as I did
  25. i love that they followed that up by losing to the cardinals the next week (if i'm remembering the weeks right)
