  1. Its so you can look at yourself in the mirror and still read the cap.
  2. I just know people who follow closely are excited about him.
  3. Ha, my wife just asked me last week what happened to "that guy from the Javy play" when we were at the Cubs game. Oof.
  4. The US Men don't need 3v3. They lost to the Netherlands and will not qualify. Yikes. Even without NBA players that seems embarrassing. I guess it does sound like a more volatile game since it's shorter. One of the players is Ricky Barry's son who apparently shoots free throws underhand, like his old man.
  5. https://twitter.com/WContreras40/status/1414774032516407298?s=19 *popcorn gif*
  6. Freed cap, a young playable rotation piece, and a pick? That seems like a very good trade. End of an era though.
  7. I brought good vibes to Wrigley tonight. First game since 2018, I think. Your welcome Cobs.
  8. Did someone get paid to come up with this idea and then design it? :?
  9. Everything is relative. And if we're gonna trade Yu for 3 high schoolers, mineaswell® commit and trade Kimbrell for one Brett Bretterson.
  10. The rosters we played with on the video games of the era were unimaginably dull. But this also reminds me of warning people about wanting some billionaire to buy the club. They aren't saviors and when things suck they still suck. Although this year's .519 W% is tied for 14th best with 3 or 4 other seasons in the past 40 years. For some reason, I don't have the visceral dislike for the Tribune people that I have for the Ricketts. Beyond team related reasons I think it's just easier to have a visceral reaction to the Ricketts for non baseball reasons. Is that it?
  11. The only reason to do that is if you have some extreme aversion to cable companies verse streaming services. Cost wise there's no way thats a good deal compared to just going with Xfinity or whoever carries Marquee.
  12. I don't know, feels pretty believable at this point.
  13. I don't really have anything to add other than McDonough seems like exactly the type of executive that would sweep this under the rug. I also don't think Bowman can skate on this. He wasn't some underling with no say in the organization. I also don't really care about the "cloud over the cups" side of the story. Yea, re: Bowman, US Hockey should be letting him go, too.
  14. Yep, I'm just getting around to reading the Athletic article. Went on to assault a High school hockey player, with a positive reference from the Hawks. So it's not even like they sloppily tried to sweep bad stuff under the rug, just flat out ignored it, it sounds like. Awful.
  15. it's CHC the teams have their box score abbreviation down the left side And it didn't work. At least not the Cubs version.
  16. Whatever they were trying to accomplish begind the logo didn't work.
  17. Oh well. Time for endless FA speculation.
  18. And a new NCAA football game and my desire to own a gaming console again.
  19. Most stories truely only have multiple bad guys.
  20. Now, imagine that, but a whole game of all the fun stuff Fields can do. Makes you wonder.
  21. Trust teh process.
  22. Trade for Simmons and make him shoot FTs underhand? Problem solved!
  23. You’re right they don’t but they’ll defend it with their life if someone criticizes it. At least that’s been my experience. But we already have a pizza thread so Real Chicagoans defend tavern style. Deep Dish is for the suburbanites something something
  24. Its not baffling since I'm from the area, but it seems somewhat unique among Chicagoans. In college I met people from all across the Midwest and the norm was just to say what big city they were closest to without a "near" or "just outside" qualifier. Except us Chicagoans. The Shaker Heights, OH people just said "Cleveland" though.
  25. living on the west coast for 12 years, I learned awhile ago that it is FAR easier to tell people I am from "northern Illinois", but when the reply is "Chicago??" I say yes. the reason is it takes too much time and far too irrelevant to anything in my life to go into a long description of where I actually grew up. I never have lived in the Chicago metro area. Seattle area, San Francisco area, LA/San Fernando valley, Minneapolis and Madison I have all called home, but never Chicago. So, how infuriated would you all feel about that? Do you still tell people you're FROM there? Or is that more of a response to where you're born?
