  1. Every year, crazy surprise stuff happens like huge breakouts or major underperformance...with the sheer quantity of young extremely talented players this team has, there's room for lots of that type of thing. I swear I wasn't stoned when I came up with this
  2. What's the law on something like this? says on there that it's licensed by the mlbpa
  3. obligatory disclaimer that al yellon and bcb are very lame, but i kinda like this shirt https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2018/2/14/17011538/yu-darvish-t-shirt
  4. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-01-10/sports/ct-greg-maddux-frank-thomas-haugh-spt-0110-20140110_1_larry-himes-cubs-fans-maddux-decision Sidenote: I actually ran into Frank Thomas at the Cosmo when I was in Vegas a couple weeks ago. I'm never that guy, but I kinda gave him a wave and a "big hurt!" and he acknowledged me politely.
  5. this sounds right, actually
  6. Wasn't the story that Maddux had his agent (was it Boras back then?) call up Himes and offered him a chance to match Atlanta's contract before he signed, and we passed, saying we'd already allocated our money to Jose Guzman and someone else?
  7. i'm still regretting not having bought one of the gold numbered ones from last year Yeah, me too. looks like you can still get the cool base ones in certain sizes http://www.mlbshop.com/Men/search/cubs_gold_program_cool_base
  8. fun fact - for probably the best young catcher in the game, you have to custom make a cool base jersey if you want one
  9. just seems like a weird thing to say, but hey i hope the brewers sign cobb for more than darvish and then give $150M to trevor cahill
  10. Where the hell'd you get that idea? the idea that it would be possible for the Brewers to overpay for Cobb? I don't know, maybe planet earth. horsefeathers, I didn't say it was going to happen while that would obviously be hilarious in the way that anything really stupid that the brewers might do would be, there's not a chance in hell the brewers pay cobb more than the cubs paid darvish
  11. yeah he really crunches the horsefeathers out of that spread
  12. Cahill? Tommy Hunter was a pretty big guy for the 6 weeks they had him too. was just coming to post that http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Tommy+Hunter+Chicago+Cubs+v+Milwaukee+Brewers+Kis1PipFPF9l.jpg
  13. remember that weird skinny zambrano season? i think that might've been the same year he came in saying we'd win 120 games too were phil coke and motte kind of chubby?
  14. Yeah, but most of these guys have immortal legacies as Cubs already even if they never played again. You're good. i'm still regretting not having bought one of the gold numbered ones from last year could never commit to which player i wanted. now all you can find are the $250 ones that are sized huge just like the real ones (not sure if they're entirely authentic or not)
  15. i do have a very small mustard stain on it from an unruly packet on a windy day
  16. TIL i learned brandon is a crazypants person
  17. i've had basically these exact thoughts as i've contemplated jersey #2 (i already have a rizzo shirsey tho sooooo) i think i'm between javy and willy, and while i love javy, i still fear he might flame out so i'd rather get a shirsey
  18. Lester is prob the closest thing to a fat guy on the roster
  19. This is a silly question but in trying to decide what should be my second jersey (I have a Bryant already) purchase from the current group, there are so many good players that I'm not even sure who I want...so I'm just curious who everyone thinks is jersey (not just shirsey) worthy. You can choose up to 2. Also, if you pick Zobrist, that's a dorky choice and you're a dork. If you wanted to pick Maddon, that's even dorkier and you should feel shame. Also, I don't know why I included Heyward but he's a cool guy so I can't hate on you if you do it.
  20. you gotta make it into some sort of meme avatar http://www.trbimg.com/img-5a8496e7/turbine/chi-ct-ct-cubs-spring-training-16-ct0063630133-20180214/1550/1550x872
  21. http://www.trbimg.com/img-5a84952b/turbine/chi-cubsst-ct0063629450-20180214/1550/1550x872 not sure if chatwood is somewhere in this one but otherwise there's our rotation
  22. maybe you can pre-order your harper shirsey oh man i want to do that
  23. some way less terrible spring training pics! [tweet] [/tweet] edit - try using an incognito window (if using chrome) to view the tribune link
  24. I'm just about to buy a Darvish shirsey as soon as I find another item to get me over the free shipping threshold (they always get me with that)
