  1. They finished second last year and apparently are ok with that because they changed absolutely nothing. So I will guess they finish second again.
  2. They’ll beat the Brewers in the WC game then get swept by the eventual world champion Cardinals
  3. It’s only non-guaranteed if you cut him for baseball reasons 0.657 ops? You knew that when you signed it
  4. yeah but were they in agreement about it If I recall, if they settled via arbitration process its not guaranteed, whereas as agreement outside of arbitration is guaranteed. It’s only non-guaranteed if you cut him for baseball reasons
  5. I would not feel bad about settling for Kakko
  6. This is the off-season that cubs fans became q anons
  7. Look, we had some money for him put aside, but Cole Hamels and idontknow Kintzler became available and you don’t pass on that.
  8. 1) When you strike someone out in cricket, the little sticks go flying and it's awesome. Baseball should replace catchers with little sticks with two strikes. 2) When you think someone is out in cricket you have to beg the umpire to agree and it's hilarious: Baseball should make players beg for outs. 3) Sometimes defenders in cricket stand like three feet in front of the batter. It's called "silly point" and sometimes they get nut-shotted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpyTnSIldC0 Baseball should add "silly third base" and let Kris Bryant get nut-shotted
  9. It's like baseball but all the strategy and stuff actually matters and not just in crusty old people's heads. It's infinitely more tactically diverse because you can hit the ball in any direction with many different types of swings, and you have to defend against them with many different defensive lineups. The bad news is that the best matches go on for five days and frequently end in no result, because you can't win unless you get the other team's lineup all the way out twice and it's relatively easy for them to sandbag and just try to avoid getting out rather than scoring runs. Guys can stay up there just blocking balls and not taking risks for hours.
  10. That just proves they are in it. Theo told him to say that to rep Boras from trying to drive up the price.
  11. I dunno. I know there is video evidence that he violently assaulted a woman.
  12. Talking about baseball is barely tolerable here. Doing it with rando cubs fans is a “doctor it hurts when I go like this” moment.
  13. Just a casual $20m worth of prospects. Just got that hanging around myrtle beach* like loose change in the couch * - (i have no idea where are lower affiliates are these days, prospect nerds don’t @ me)
  14. How many accounts does Kyle have? I was gonna save it for spring training but might as well unveil it now. I’m gonna be referring to them as DNLCCVB all year. It’ll be hilarious.
  15. Which one of their SP’s that’s not coming off shoulder surgery and projected for under 1.5 WAR is your favorite? Whichever one kicked our ass into the play-in game
  16. Hopefully he falls into a well and dies
  17. One time I got on the wrong direction freeway trying to get out of Aurora. Chicago traffic was terrifying
  18. Annoying people from Chicago by calling parts of Illinois “basically Chicago” is always good fun, though. Just casually, like telling a story about that time you were in “Chicago, well technically Evanston.” Then work your way out. By the end of the night you refer to Peoria or Springfield as part of Chicagoland and appreciate their eye twitching.
  19. Casey’s Pizza is literally the only thing I miss about the Midwest. It is a greasy monstrosity in exactly the best way.
  20. How tf does Hoopeston, home of the mighty Cornjerkers as well as my pubescent memories, have an economy to support a sports memorabilia store. They were barely holding on to a McDonald’s last I remember
  21. NL Central standings, August 2019. Camera scrolls past Cardinals and DNLCCVB before stopping on the Cubs. *record scratch* Yeah, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation. It all started with a couple of pitchers.
  22. “Theo blew all his money on meh pitching and now we can’t afford Harper” is still by far the simplest explanation for everything we are seeing
  23. Defending Central Division Champion Brewers, you mean
  24. Pretty sure you can get out of the lending limits by asking MLB or just doing it without telling them. They are never enforced.
