  1. They’ll be guaranteed an over .500 record with at least 20 games to play.
  2. I'm sure a others can do this also but I know exactly where I was for 9 of those games. The only one I don't was Schwarber against the Reds.
  3. Raiders getting Antonio Brown for a 3rd and a 5th. He'll get a new 3 year, 54M deal. Seems crazy that the Raiders got a 1st back for Cooper but gave up way less for Brown. I know Cooper is younger but he's only 1 year from getting paid and isn't nearly as good of a receiver as Brown is.
  4. Because you disagreed with the call or because you wanted ManU to lose? I thought they got the call right so I was fine with it. Plus it gives Spurs another potential winnable tie in the quarters. Not that ManU is a guaranteed win but I’d rather play them than PSG. Hoping for Porto/ManU/Ajax in the quarters. Would be nice if Lyon could somehow upset Barcelona next week but I’m not counting on it.
  5. I know division titles mean nothing in the NBA but has there ever been a sub-.500 division winner before? Because there almost certainly will be this year. Charlotte and Miami lead the Southeast at 29-34 right now.
  6. Well know we know the real reason Bruce Bochy is retiring after 2019.
  7. Why can’t they just do the simple solution of a 40 man roster but declaring a certain number of player who are available to play in the game? Players get service time as long as they’re with the team and eliminates using 10 pitchers in a 9 inning game because you have an 18 man staff.
  8. Dodgers are going to have two pitcher injuries every game.
  9. Things that are true: -The most 3 points Rondo has attempted in a game in his career is 7. -In the first 5:36 of tonight’s game, Rondo took 7 3 pointers. You might be thinking that he must have been shooting well. Well, you would be wrong. He missed his first 5 and is 1-7.
  10. Chatwood today: 3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 K, 0 BB. CHATWOOD IS FIXED. Last time he had a regular season outing of over 2 innings with no walks was Aug 2016.
  11. 100/$500M. Lifetime contract.
  12. Surprised he didn’t get any opt outs in there.
  13. As far as the hair goes... This picture is from a deadspin article posted last September. Prior to the article being posted, the last time we played in St. Louis was the end of July. If you google him and search images, there are a few other pictures that show some thinning in that area, though not that pronounced.
  14. wasn't that a meaningless game though? I tried to look for that HR earlier on YouTube and couldn’t find it. It was mid-Sept against the Brewers. The Cubs hadn’t clinched yet so the game wasn’t completely meaningless. Believe DLee had a walkoff single in like the 11th to win it Here's the game: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN200809180.shtml
  15. Underrated one. Cubs hadn’t really gotten going yet. Looked like they were playing well but then went 2-5 against the Reds and Phillies including getting swept at home by Philly. Up in the ninth but the pen blew up and KB saved us. Cubs took off from there.
  16. I agree, we’re winning 103 again and won’t need deadline moves.
  17. You forgot to include the third tweet where they reported he was actually hitting on a little league field rather than a ML field.
  18. The Cubs did in signing Lester (A) Grade is too low.
  19. Awesome...But to compare apples to apples, what is the Padres' commitment beyond 2022? It's a hell of a lot higher than $8M, but that's a purposefully overstated difference. Could be only 1 year of Machado if he and Hosmer opt out. Hosmer would have 3/39 left on the deal and would be going into his age 32 season so it’s not likely to actually happen.
  20. Well, one former board member thinks it's absolutely abysmal.
  21. Well he does get to play the Cubs 18 times instead of 6 so that should give his numbers a boost.
