    I wish I could still lie to myself and hope Jed was saving his powder for Tucker, maybe I still can, but that’s just my masochistic tendencies.
  2. JunkyardWalrus
    I no longer believe in time.
  3. JunkyardWalrus
    Fair.
  4. JunkyardWalrus
    Which should cost Jed his job, but got him an extension.
  5. JunkyardWalrus
    When they had Tucker.
  6. JunkyardWalrus
    Hope you got your squeegie!
  7. JunkyardWalrus
    Glendon Rusch has long been the mold.

    I’ve said it before, as long as Shaw is on the team, I hope he is hit in every ab he gets. Every single one. Having different views is fine, unless your views make you a racist piece of white horsefeathers.
  9. JunkyardWalrus
    And haggling over the price before walking away. (pun intended.)

    Jed's the dude at the bar trying to find a girl at 2 am when the lights come on. It’s just his style.
  11. JunkyardWalrus
    So, what does the framework for Sfg receive Hoerner Chc receive Ketel Marte AZ receives prospects from both?
  12. JunkyardWalrus
    The Pasta Pen? Throw it all against the wall and see what sticks, eventually.
  13. JunkyardWalrus
    Suckers! Look at all Jed’s Participation Trophies! You don’t get those by winning bids on players you like!
  14. JunkyardWalrus
    0% it’s Jed and belief Tatis can play 3b. 100% I hope this is true.
  15. JunkyardWalrus
    I miss the Winter Meetings of the Trader Jim days.
  16. JunkyardWalrus
    Off-setting cost. Shrugs. I didn’t say it was a good idea.
  17. JunkyardWalrus
    Signing Bregman, doesn’t preclude Shaw is gone, could be Nico with Shaw sliding to 2b, saving the large market team however much the difference is between Nico and Bregman this season
  18. JunkyardWalrus
    Ah, American Media’s slogan.
  19. JunkyardWalrus
    I still wonder what they do with Alcantara, I never see him mentioned with Cassie for the plans next year, even though he’d a RHH that can play CF and I don’t believe has options left.
  20. JunkyardWalrus
    Ohhh, the Cubs are dumpster diving? So novel!
  21. JunkyardWalrus
    Same as it ever was; money. Say something in the bargaining agreement is 'payment for time not played?’ due to the lockout? OR the luxury tax does get lower, or become a harder cap? I don’t know how it does, but I bet they act/spend like it will. I don’t have any other facts to point at beyond how they, Ricketts and Hoyer, have done business post-pandemic. Or, the lack of business they have done. If they were going to spend money, it would have been in the Tucker year. They didn’t. They went cheap in FA, then went cheap at the deadline, keeping all that prospect capital. Who are the least expensive employees? (Who released Schwarber!?) Unfortunately, from what I see, the Cubs are not about winning as much as generating the greatest profit. They are a business, not a team. A spectacle that inhabits Wrigleyville and helps drive their surrounding properties. I’m negative as horse-feathering-feathers about ownership and its willingness to attempt to win, or merely stay competitive. I have no idea how it affects their bottom line, Rcal, but Tom Combover likes the clean books, like he likes to use tongue when he kisses ass, or so I’ve heard. So whether it does or not, Tom will make an excuse about ‘uncertainty’ or some feathered horsiness. Just my feeling. Oh, also, I hope they trade Shaw. (Gonna just keep throwing that out there. C’mon universe!)

    I see them dropping payroll as low as they can before the lockout. The Tucker year was the year to spend, and they didn't, in prospects or $$. Happ and Nico expire, doesn't Seiya as well? Leaving what, Dansby and no one on payroll. Seems by design.
  23. JunkyardWalrus
    I see you love having a 'simple dinner.'
  24. JunkyardWalrus
    I have blocked out those Killian starts where he painted black with 98 and looked like a monster before his injury. But, I hope Long is a thing.
  25. JunkyardWalrus
    Has anyone in recent memory become a thing and stuck after the AFL (Mervis and Canario crushed and are still AAAA players years later, that’s all I’m coming up with off the top.)
