  1. yeah, it's pretty awful. the jordan one is spot on
  2. caveat - it's cowley, but KC is reporting the same thing, and I'm basically posting it because if even cowley says it, it must be legit...cowley would love to call them out for insisting paxson be involved if he even had so much as an inkling that that was happening.
  3. am i allowed to reply to this?
  4. aren't the players getting paid for 2020 (and getting service time)? i thought i saw that they had settled that a couple weeks back. The players are getting 4% of their salaries (and being credited a year of service time) if there is no season. If there is a season, I believe they pay back that 4%, because that was considered an advance at the time. gotcha. that makes sense.
  5. To add on to the Doolittle love, here's his wife summing it up pretty well. If I squint and try to adopt a player's mindset on losing that kind of money...there's a sliver I can understand. This proposal goes far beyond that group of people though. aren't the players getting paid for 2020 (and getting service time)? i thought i saw that they had settled that a couple weeks back.

  7. is that heat thing based on joe cowley? Can't remember who. There was also a report that they were targeting Heat players. from some googling it looks like all the weirdly heat-centric stuff is coming from cowley meh

  9. Hopefully an Athletic snippet is OK. Here's a link to that profile for anyone who has a sub https://theathletic.com/1436139/#click=https://t.co/INsV2Uwlre
  10. realgm seems to really like the webster guy woj brought up from toronto. also
  11. i really don't see it that way at all. i don't see pax as a kenny williams type and i think keeping pax formally employed and not firing him is about reinsdorf's love/loyalty for him. i don't think pax even really wants to be in charge anymore.
  12. whatever it is, hook it all to my veins
  13. I've enjoyed watching these old games. But holy crap is Chip Caray bad! I don't recall him being as awful as he truly was. Joe Carter made Caray look good. Caray with Stone at the end of their run (when they would trash the team espec Alou) was fun. That was a rough era for Cubs TV broadcasters. and a little before that, josh lewin and thom. yeesh. we're big time spoiled now.
  14. THERE’s a LASER TO CF! Yeah, he was awful. I had forgotten about HRs being “rally killers”. Two others things he used to do that drove me crazy... He overreacted to every bunt. “So and so will be called on to move the runner over. He lays down the bunt AND IT’S A BEAUTY!!!!” Every time someone bunted in fair territory he’d excitedly scream, “it’s a beauty.” May have been real hard back to the pitcher who is starting to turn a double play, but Chip would have already exclaimed how great it was. He also would say “could” when it should have been “would.” Bases loaded, two outs, bottom of the ninth, tie game, and he’d say, “a base hit here could give the Cubs the win.” No, a base hit would give the Cubs the win. Bases loaded: “a walk could bring in a run.” Did that a lot. man this reminded me of how much i hate that coomer refers to hard hit balls as being "crunched" who the horsefeathers says that
  15. Holy horsefeathers tell me this was photoshopped rofl. :lol: It wasn’t but a still frame makes it look a lot worse. Still pretty bad though https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/examining-if-the-bears-mitchell-trubisky-really-did-miss-a-wide-open-td-against-the-packers/amp/ yes it was
  16. yeah no thanks
  17. i'd rather mitch just win the job and pray he figures some horsefeathers out hope he's locked up at home watching lots and lots of film Mitch watching film: oh god damn it lmao

  19. Kwiatkowski, Jackson, Cohen, Howard, Wims (might be OK), Nichols, and Amos...all guys Pace has drafted in the 4th or later. (Yes I realize how stupid this looks after I said I'd be OK trading a late pick for Cam, but I meant like a 7th or something and that would have been a lot more fun than this)
  20. Waiting for him to be released runs the risk of him just not coming. yeah. on the other hand, there were those reports that indicated he was interested in coming to the bears a few months ago. it would depend on how much they'd actually be giving up. if it was a nothing return, like a really late pick or something, it wouldn't really bother me.
  21. not sure there's anyone left that oakland would want over carr at this point, so i doubt they'll be trading him anymore. They signed Mariota. As a backup. He's clearly not an upgrade over Carr.
