  1. 3.0-3.3 FIP? Probably pitches 120-140 innings.
  2. Yu Darvish is a mentor to him apparently and then there's the San Diego weather and beaches, the region in general is gorgeous, and the roster isn't too bad either. I don't think it's all that crazy.
  3. Cavs beat the 30-5 Thunder to move to 32-4. Pretty insane that teams with those records faced off.
  4. Eno says go get Flaherty and Scott. That guy has good ideas.
  5. Bills/Vikings - both with 4 Super Bowl losses and no wins. Bills win. Vikings stand alone as only 0-5 team in the league. Either that or Ravens beat anyone in the NFC is what I'd like to see.
  6. What the hell are you talking about? This is a fanbase that knew we had a 25 year old MVP Scott Boras client that wanted to test FA and had rejected Cubs overtures, had a potential franchise SS with a BBK of .10, another SS that disappeared into oblivion after he exposed how disgusting he was, a DH who couldn't be played against LHP, a C who should've been a DH, an Ace that fell of a cliff and another one that aged poorly. Even setting this aside, the fans supported these guys for another 5 years after they won the title. The team couldn't win a postseason game like the Cubs of old but there were still plenty tears shed when the nucleus was finally torn apart. Why don't you just stop generalizing entire groups of people and then placing yourself above those groups. This horsefeathers is so unbecoming of a person.
  7. Had to message my dad and ask if he made an account
  8. I should have just looked it up first but that surprises me.
  9. Rooker extends for 5/60 with a 6th year option. I hope they put a decent team around him soon. I just love the story.
  10. Lux has more control, no?
  11. His refusal to add through FA is why the roster is paper thin. Most of his picks haven't hit and he relied on almost exclusively building through the draft and we have paid the consequence with a OL that could not support our franchise rookie QB and an almost non-existent pass rush.
  12. They flawlessly pulled it off with Johnny Knox a decade ago in a critical moment of a critical game and the horsefeathers zebras threw a flag on a phantom penalty
  13. This was a borderline playoff team that fell victim to horrible planning by the GM who had horrible coaches forced upon him by horrible ownership and upper-management. Such a slap in the fans faces, Props to Caleb for surviving 17 games through that horsefeathers. Please cut about 25 sacks at least off for next year. Work all offseason on your horrendous accuracy also please. Don't trade Moore or Johnson. Feature Kmet more. Get the absolute best edge you can to complement Sweat. Trade for veteran IOL if you can.
  14. Jenkins is gonna be another Columbo. Stay healthy and get some PB nods and be a top 10 G after his Bears career is done.
  15. You can't read your own posts. So I guess we identified the problem. It's amazing how all these new folks are 100% certain they know exactly what the Cubs plans are. Its really not that amazing when you use the same playbook for many years the fans know all the moves .
  16. You literally registered 2 weeks ago. Are you calling these posters new fans? You dont know jack about anyone here and just because you were around to witness a trade 60 years ago doesnt give you any more cred.
  17. Flaherty is projected to land a three-year, $63 million deal this offseason by Spotrac. It's unclear where he will go, but MLB.com's Mark Feinsand said the Cubs are "in the mix" for him. Teams arent going to offer this dude a 9 figure contract given hes thrown about 150 good innnings in the last 5 years.
  18. I predicted Flaherty would get 3/60 and I'm sticking to it. There is just not a big enough track record to give him 25 AAV IMO. But the upside is worth it and I hope Jed is in to the end.
  19. I don't care about not getting this guy but the Dodgers are freaking obnoxious.
  20. One of the most disproportionate bats I've ever seen used. The dude was a toothpick but for some reason favored using an oak tree at the plate. You wonder how he might have hit with a smaller bat from the jump.
  21. Dude the combine hasn't even happened yet. The mocks are gonna change. Some players will rise, some will fall. It happens every year. I'd stop obsessing over it at the moment.
  22. Well the options are pretty friggin slim to spend that money on. Flaherty is the last SPFA of interest who would command 20+, theyve shown no interest in Scott. Theres maybe a few trades that can be made but the smoke is thin as incense. Ive laid out a blueprint to bring in some real quality pitching and they are seemingly showing no interest in most of those guys. Where the horsefeathers are they gonna spend this money realistically? Every article is also pessimistic on making an effort on Tucker. Im feeling really uneasy. The Thielbar move is actually a good one and I see the logic and the upside. But it sure feels like Jed is not interested in the guys who would take up that money.
  23. I disagree. I've not seen him develop a rapport with 2 pro-bowl receivers, a pro-bowl caliber TE has been laregely invisible, he takes more sacks to take potential points off the board than anyone in the league, anyone we've ever seen, and it's repeating the same mistakes over and over. It's pretty easy to question his training and studying habits.
