    I think this is like the third time (and third girl) Almora has been engaged with since we drafted him. I think I remember seeing that he got this one pregnant, though.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BHdxEzdBuFA/ sooo forget the ocean part, that's obv a joke, but is there some inside joke i'm missing or does rizzo really think that's lake eerie? edit: nevermind...commenter got it amannndaMaybe it's a joke...last month he posted a pic on the Chicago River and called it Lake Michigan so now he's being funny

    is that two nsb encino man references today?

    Plz explain. What the hell did I miss this weekend? It certainly can't be his numbers. Rational or not, David. Rational or not. I think I mainly just miss Dex. It seems like Almora just always makes an out whenever I watch him. I clearly prefaced this with the OP. i realized you said rational or not... i just wasn't sure what your reason was whether it was an irrational one (is that an oxymoron?) or a rational one since he's been damn good. just weird to be sick of a good young player coming up and doing well. obviously we all want one of the best players in the league this year back asap.

    ...what storylines? Here's What The Warriors and 29 Other Loser Teams With No Prayer of Winning Did Last Night! i'm going to enjoy watching it

    I don't mind him, but he is hammered and babbling nonsense Guess I'd have to hear it to see how bad it is. I mean it's a blowout so I'm not sure why it's bothering anyone that much to have that going on for a couple innings. It would have to be him just rambling out racist offensive crap for it to really bother me.

    I mean, I'm not listening, but I love Jeff garlin and do not understand this hate

    After reading this I keep thinking you saw him singing before me but that's impossible because I'm at the game. Then I realized he was probably on air

    Bryant was nearly stationary. When the insanely rangey cf calls you off, you get out of the way.
  11. David
    Uhh he's hitting really well and the collision was Bryant's fault. This is a really odd thread.

    Geez, I hope you realize how poor their chances are they will win the World Series. Definitely less poor than almost any other year I've been a Cubs fan. It's not that I'm not enjoying this season, but after an NLCS appearance, it will be hard to not be disappointed by not at least making it to the fall classic this time around, no? In July? Sure. But the 2015 and 2003 teams both had a better chance than this one does right now. In other words, none of it means much of anything until you actually win a series or two
  13. David
    It amazes me how many people still don't properly comprehend this. Like you can't know that and still want the Cubs to overpay for like Miller and Chapman because "horsefeathers it"
  14. David
    Are people seriously blaming Almora for that collision? That's absolutely laughable.
  15. David
    I hate him but this is far from a bad move in terms of basketball
  16. David
    I hope so. Definitely good enough to do that but it's hard to expect a team to finish at least 54-27 when they've gone 26-24 in last 50 games (and yes I understand all good teams ply .500 a chunk of the season. Just hard to visualize it when you are in that period). That said I still believe the talent level of this team is 110+ games just can't quite figure out why it hasn't translated lately. Probably because I'm dumb you can't both say those things you said and then say that...like, i'm not worried by this recent stretch (mostly i'm just trying to ignore it), and i never believed their true talent level was 110+ games. that's, uh, really high. and i feel like that is an understatement.

    I'm wondering the same thing. The Mets aren't THAT good, that they'd just destroy our pitching like this, are they? Are we tipping pitches? Getting squeezed with the zone? the mets are almost the opposite of being THAT good...especially right now offensively. this is as weird as that crazy reds game in cincinatti except twice in 4 games. stupid baseball (not as in cubs are playing stupid baseball, as in baseball is stupid)
  18. David
    this is just bizarre...what the hell is going on
  19. David
    what's the capital G about
  20. David
    haven't heard anything of the sort...if the story is what i think you're referring to, we've been trying to tap into his power and get him hitting it in the air more.
  21. David
    arrieta is done maybe
  22. David
    You're definitely one of my favorite guys here- but you want to run the Bulls in a Hendry way. Basketball isn't baseball and it's so far from being anything like baseball that that comparison is complete nonsense for a ton of reasons. That said, obviously Wade is old and isn't a great fit next to Jimmy basketball wise. I just said it'd be fun. Like fun to watch him play (until he finished breaking down at least).
  23. David
    Not gonna lie. Wade would be fun.
  24. David
    a fair and significant point. right now we have to just pray hoiberg isn't a completely incompetent buffoon as a HC.
  25. David
    FWIW, it gets closer if you account for playing time (and yeah, jimmy needs to figure out how to get into that 75-80 game range instead of 65-70) and i'm not sure with those metrics if they account for defense in any way (or effectively) or if they're mostly just measures of offensive efficiency combined with volume. i think the gap between the existing assets on the 2009-10 team and the ones on the current team is narrower than you make it out to be.
