    Hope Billy McKinney doesn't listen to this
  2. We Got The Whole 9
    Wow that's the non-Cubs follow I am looking forward to the most
  3. We Got The Whole 9
    Shut up with that horsefeathers and give the NL the DH already
  4. We Got The Whole 9
    likely story
  5. We Got The Whole 9
    I read on another forum that his defense is his friend gave him something to stay awake on a long car ride. You sure it's for weed?
  6. We Got The Whole 9
    Smart because Watkins sucks
  7. We Got The Whole 9
    Albatross Who is that? Edmunds I know camera angles can make things seem odd and disproportionate but I'm his height and I tried to mimic his stance and my hands don't come close to going as far down as his.
  8. We Got The Whole 9
    What do you suppose his wingspan is? Those arms appear to be long AF

    Sounds like you're happy with relying on a bounceback from Whitehair (good as a rookie at OG but no guarantee he will be right back at that level when moving back), health from Long (I'm really skeptical of him), and Nelson making it several spots beyond where the majority of mocks have him going. If teams are okay drafting Nelson top 5 (Denver is the hot button destination) then I think it signals a bit of a philosophical shift in the league. 5 years ago I don't think he would be considered so high but interior line is being prioritized higher than before. Pure and simple, I want a dominant line, and for the unit to be deep. I won't be too happy with a patchwork line that depends on several variables. We're looking at nearly 100m in space after cuts and Pace won't be able to land everybody he targets. I hope that he casts a wide net and that certainly involves Norwell, a young, nasty, bulldog to help protect our franchise QB. What would be your move, if say, you get everybody you target? I'd sign Fulton. Pugh, if his price isn't more than around the same as Sitton's was this year. Personally, I'd try and trade back in the draft. Take a WR, CB, OL, or OLB in the 12-15 range, if it netted us an extra 2nd. I'm totally on board with a trade down. I say it every year. Pace really hasn't seemed to be a fan of it with his 1st rounder though.

    Not thrilled with that. I hope Pace is aggressive on Norwell.
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    i didn't know it was possible not to have heard this story at some point. feels like it's brought up all the time. Haven't I proven how oblivious I can be yet? Besides is that talked about among Chicago media or just in general?
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    Did Maddux really telegraph the high inside fastball like that, though? horsefeathers, I guess he may have. Sorry I had never hear this before today. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/9589483/the-history-glove-talking-baseball
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    I'll desrvedly catch some heat for that one
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    I hope we trade for Peters and let Fuller walk
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Just gonna put this here Anyone read the article referenced? [emoji23]
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    He carries a 1.17 OPS in 400 oppo batted balls. I bet he's salivating at that 300 ft RF.
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    I know odorizzis name had come up here a few times and most people were against the idea, but if I recall it was mostly because they didn't want to give up what they assumed Tampa would want for him, which was probably way more than what he was worth. But I don't think anything here would've been opposed to acquiring him for one prospect at the back end of our top 30. Yeah they basically just traded him for Zach Short, right? I remember like a year ago there were thoughts the Rays wanted an Almora or Cease. Maybe the bitterness over Maddon is real?
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    Really risky given his up and down career. For his last 5 years he's 0 war one year and 3+ the next and has kept that pattern.
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    Athletic, young, familiar with the system, our TEs suck.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    and also this: Piscotty came into June with an 8 point advantage in wRC+. After that, he never came within 20 points of matching his April which was 14 points worse than his May. I only wish I could read his whacked ruminations thereafter as KB horsefeathering trounced him and the rest of the league.
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    Zero. I was pretty young though. The first Cubs acquisition I remember being excited over was Delino Deshields in 2001 (lol wtf- I think i just thought it was a cool name). Anyways Nomo went on to average almost 3 war/yr over the next 5 years, so lol cobs. I was pretty stoked about picking up Jason Bere's twilight years

    Apparently Chris Archer said Honeywell talks a lot and he should know his place until he actually takes the mound in an MLB game. Honeywell responded by saying he wants the ace to impress him. Trouble in Tampa. Honeywell sounds like a pain, send him to the North side of Chicago.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    It's gonna be real stressful, fighting for HFA
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    They were only $400,000 apart $6.5 vs $6.9 million, why not just settle and give him the $6.9 and be nice about it? He's the only cornerstone building block they have, why do something so nominal to piss him off and have a malcontent on the team all year and in future negotiations/dealings? No doubt, totally stupid. I'd be rather irate if we dragged one of our core players through the mud of that process as well. Between the 2 hearings they were 700k apart total. Buck up and pay your horsefeathering ace. They probably felt that he got one over on them last year and this was only fair or something moronic.
