WrigleyField 22

Ah yes, it's the framework of their mission statement which has them so disconcerted over a players union.

Interesting article re the short season (with good Cubs centric reference) https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/bad-teams-may-be-posing-as-good-teams-in-a-60-game-baseball-season/

Plus, donations to the Trump Reelection campaign aren't org costs.

I mean that's pretty funny, but if that's the funniest story, baseball is even more boring than I thought. He must have left out the NSFW gems.

Highly recommend. Maybe it’s because I was already playing a “hit thing on ground with a stick” sport, and maybe it’s because I haven’t actually played a real round yet and my hubris will catch up with me, but I have a sneaking suspicion it’s easier to be not terrible than many people have you believe. I see a lot of patterns that mirror other hobbies I’ve picked up where a vocal minority insisted it was incredibly difficult to get better but they were mostly shooting themselves in the foot. I am pretty sure a lot of struggling amateur golfers are 1) neglecting their short game. Ive got a putting mat and chipping target at home, and anytime I have some downtime to watch tv or kid wants to be left alone in the yard, I’m grinding the simple shots. 2) overhitting to chase distance. Ultimately if I do it with my buddies on a trip, I know it will be 80% about beers, cigars, and dicking around, and I could literally just do that with them and not pick up a club, but think I would enjoy the last 20% if I can look like it's not my second time picking up clubs (I've golfed 9 holes one other time and it was "best ball" so I couldn't slow things down). But beyond the trip, I'm way too sedentary and while I should also do some real workouts too, golf does sound more appealing the older I get and seeing how my body has aged going on 15 years from my athletic prime. Insert the possibility to leverage it for business outings as well is more and more appealing as I shift into roles where I am expected to be a true advocate for my company and help establish/maintain relationships outside the 9-5 working relationship. I wouldn't want to offer a round of golf to a client/potential client right now and that's a little limiting.

I suppose it's partly due to Corona, but also due to my buddies who I do a weekend trip with every year talking about making next year a golf trip, has me interested in picking up golf. The last few pages of this have been gold. Thanks for sharing your journey Kyle. I'll be sure to post my personal updates if I get around to it. I think getting over the hurdle of trying something is gonna be big to get over because it is a bit intimidating.

Which was named after Black Hawk, right? I think the name or at least logo will go the way of the Washington Football team or Cleveland Indians. They're still just higher hanging fruit.

That annual cost for the entry level is nice.

Damn.

Man I wish he had resigned

Regardless of the conditions thats way more than I thought they could get. They got a thing. I didn't think they'd get a thing. Pretty much. With that and Braunecker cut, they've shaved a few mil of cap and the once crowded TE group is coming into picture (I was never counting on Shaheen making the roster, but this confirms it)

They just just air a single wideview camera angle of Wrigley from CF 24/7. That's it, that's the content. Can Ryan Dempster be there making faces? He'll do his show from second base so you won't be able to make out faces or hear anything.

Producing things costs money. They just just air a single wideview camera angle of Wrigley from CF 24/7. That's it, that's the content.

watch it be pre-taped and edited to look like a perfect strike It was a perfect pitch. The catcher man said he had never seen such an amazing throw and they begged me to do it again. How did you do that? Obama, had no arm, but the fake news media never wants to talk about it. I go throw the perfect pitch and not a peep.

I’m fully aware that it may not make complete baseball-sense for a long term contract, but I will be very disappointed if Anthony Rizzo wears a non-Cubs jersey the rest of his career. F it, one WS was enough. Make him a Cub for life.

Guys, Fauci isn't much of a thrower.

Why?

Yeah, that report seems to be leading the speculation that the name will be the Sentinels. Not the worst name, I guess (evidently it was the runner-up for the XFL team's name Defenders), but sort of bland. Red Tails would probably be the best option but it doesn't look like that will happen. Will they have a whole cast reunion for the first game? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Replacements_(film) bahaha

You tricked me, but wait, no it doesn't.

I was ready to cancel but my wife was really happy to get MTV and Teen Mom back :roll:, but if I get Cubs back that's cool

Rumors are that Snyder and Chico both want military theme to the name. Redtails seems like such a no brainer if that's the desire, but not surprising at all they they'd go a much more traditional and generic theme like that if so. So if DC finally gets statehood and has to rename, would the team be renamed again? Not that it's that big a deal as the Angels changed from California to Anaheim to LA all in the span of like 15 years. If DC gets statehood I'd say there a fair chance the DC initials would stay in some form so they could probably be DC with no big deal.
