    i think the clarks in lincoln park was doing like $1.50 domestic bottles until not too long ago on friday nights, but i think they closed. i'm sure someone, somewhere is doing it.

    If a waffle isn't delicious without butter and syrup, you're doing it wrong. This guy gets it. The pizza cliche is still based around it being good pizza, not dousing it supplemental [expletive]. i'm sorry but anybody eating a waffle with nothing on it is some kind of [expletive] crazy weirdo who i dont want to associate with

    this is what i get for not reading through a thread before i reply. i saw gato's post yesterday and meant to reply when i got back around to it so i did. :-"

    And Willson Contreras? And Lucroy will be 30 this year. Not saying I'd be opposed to acquiring him at the right price (which it probably wouldn't be), but catching isn't really a concern in the short or long term. It's an underrated need in the long term. Having a good year in AA =/= position settled for a while. i'm a lot more willing than many to bite on "one good year" when the peripherals are exactly where they need to be, i guess. by the same token, i'm probably not as willing to buy in on larger sample size if they aren't there. but anyway, i suppose that's all in how you define certain terms. having maybe the best C prospect in baseball is a pretty good spot to be in when looking at the long term of the position, though. as it is, there aren't even that many established productive catchers who you can feel good about years down the road.

    yeah, we need to stop viewing player development and the farm system through the lens of the last however many decades of cubs farm systems. this is a completely different animal and we are one of the elites in that department now.

    If the Cubs want to sell their beer cheaper than the bars, they should be able to do so. Oh, I agree, I'm just saying the bar owners concerns certainly aren't unwarranted. It's up to them to figure out how to survive. Gotcha.

    There are bars in Chicago that still do it on Thursday and even Friday nights. well that's BS. all the bar owners in greenville got together about 5 years ago or so and spiked their prices. I mean, crap beer still has decent deals at some places on some nights, but rarely (if ever) do I see anything sold less than 2-3 dollars. All that said I usually end up getting an IPA or something on tap so it's whatever. well, to be clear, they're usually dirty cesspools and, if they're drafts, they're insanely extra watered down. i just know because i have a friend who is very cheap and likes to frequent these types of places. i at least try to keep him to the places that have bottles since they can't water those down extra.

    For one [expletive] dollar, no less. I can't even find that deal in this cheap ass college town anymore. There are bars in Chicago that still do it on Thursday and even Friday nights.

    Inside Wrigley is a captive audience. Not at all the same thing.

    Was it mojo who thought you could DH for the shortstop or catcher if you wanted to the last time this was brought up?

    french toast is like pizza. i have yet to meet a slice of french toast that wasn't delicious when slathered with enough butter and syrup. Always settling, David. Always settling. the point is these things are all just a medium to get as much syrup, powdered sugar, and butter in our mouths as possible. as long as they aren't rotten or something, their main features are texture and their ability to withstand the soaking in syrup.

    So the bar owners are taking over for the rooftops now. Afraid the Cubs will sell beer too cheap in the plaza, show the games on the big screen, and take all of their business. Maybe make your bars suck less, jerks. https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20160121/wrigleyville/dont-sell-cheap-beer-at-wrigley-plaza-undercut-us-bar-owners-beg-cubs

    yeah, back to what i said earlier. i have no idea how people can eat eggs, esp scrambled, in large quantities. i like scrambled eggs. but no horsefeathering way can i eat more than like 3, maybe 4, before i am repulsed by eggs. just one of those things i guess.

    I'd say it would be worth watching pennant race games in September but we won't have any of those.

    And Willson Contreras? And Lucroy will be 30 this year. Not saying I'd be opposed to acquiring him at the right price (which it probably wouldn't be), but catching isn't really a concern in the short or long term. Nowhere did I say I wanted Lucroy or Contreras; the guy was incredulous over the idea that anyone would be talking about the general idea of the Cubs picking up a new catcher and I provided a couple of reasons why they might do such a thing. Not letting you get away with editing out where you proved you had no idea who the Cubs 1st or 2nd best prospect is. Nope.

    Montero will be 33 this year and Schwarber is an emergency catcher. And Willson Contreras? And Lucroy will be 30 this year. Not saying I'd be opposed to acquiring him at the right price (which it probably wouldn't be), but catching isn't really a concern in the short or long term.

    As a semi-outsider (I've bandwagon jumped enough that I'll watch during the playoffs and maybe at some point that'll get me interested enough to watch regular season because more sports to watch with interest = good), and as someone who followed the stuff about the case on here in the offseason along with you guys, I'm just wondering how icky you guys feel about how insanely good of a year Kane is having. I'm obviously a hockey noob, but it's hard not to hear about how well he's played this season. Every time I see something on the news or on Twitter about him having another awesome game or streak or whatever, I'm like OF COURSE this is playing out this way.

    that's how they do it in the australian leagues it's called the Coriolis effect
