  1. what is it that people hate so much about the three-batter minimum?
  2. twitter too! that thread is infuriating.
  3. truly the problem with nsbb is that we didn’t get to talk about the daniel descalso signing enough
  4. argh argh argh argh argh (tool man)
  5. in fairness you are an idiot
  6. as ssr has pointed out several times, the sad truth is that picking up hamels’ option instead of signing harper makes perfect sense once you realize we also have no money for next season. this organization in no way deserves our attention.
  7. i really cannot believe that this was the offseason.
  8. if i remember correctly he had been pretty adamant about not wanting a job like that, but i am sure there are ways to make that work if a team really wanted him. i had kind of soured on him on effectively wild of late and hadn’t been listening for the last couple months. was there any indication anywhere this was coming?
  9. haha padres are so stupid and bad i love to laugh at them for trying while rooting for my very cool and very good team with a broken offense and no interest in improving
  10. it’s a good article but it’s pretty unfair how the writer leaves out the loria-era marlins data that proves that the ricketts are losing lots of money every year
  11. theo can sell the hot tip about harper signing with the phillies to an enterprising twitter reporter and then next offseason we can buy TWO daniel descalsos (unless trump asks for the money first)
  12. yes but also if the cubs kill him now he could be reincarnated as a better pitcher and back to the team by 2040
  13. YES YES YES
  14. i am pretty sure the true originator of heroin in the forehead was a poster named AramisRamirez or something like that
  15. i deeply appreciate all the heroin in the forehead talk, but it seems like we are overdue for a reminder of the incredible original context: a good way to show your displeasure with the way the gm of the cubs is running the team is to go to his house, knock on the door, and then inject heroin into your forehead before he answers so that he will have to deal with your corpse or whatever when he opens the door.
  16. do you guys think the outs the opener gets don’t count towards the 27 you need to win the game?
  17. i was looking through this old thread for something else and stumbled across this post from october 3 of last year. remember that joe sucks!
  18. Yeah, Philly really put themselves out there with their "we're going to spend stupid money" thing, and if they land neither of the big fish, they'll have some clean up to do on the PR side luckily the cubs showed them the blueprint of how easy it is to just have your owner go on the radio and yell at everyone about how it is good that he is too cheap to buy good players
  19. PTR is out of cash. ricketts is mr burns when he gets the call from happy dude and concludes he’d be happier with the dollar than with eternal happiness
  20. PICTURED: the same fangraphs war as brandon nimmo by himself in 140 games
  21. 2018-2019 CUBS OFFSEASON HIGHLIGHTS 1. theo almost kicked a field goal in public 2. one day i forgot russell was still on the team 3. nothing else
  22. 33 in april and his bb and k are both quickly trending in the wrong directions, but i guess that’s the sort of guy the cubs can afford.
  23. horsefeathers off, maybe the commissioner just hated your stupid face. also the mayor of chicago should not have to go lower himself in front of mlb to get a stupid all-star game. all you ever read is that everyone wildly overestimates how much money an event like the super bowl brings to a host city and that is the SUPER BOWL. the mlb all star game isn’t even popular with people who like baseball.
  24. wow almost sounds like right now would be a better time to spend big money on a star outfielder
