    1) Hate all billionaires by default 2) No blank check to Harper
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    I wouldn't be shocked if we signed Harper, but the "everything is secret good news, 15th degree underwater chess" explanations for every piece of bad news are annoying.
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    Because nothing good will ever happen after the WS win and this is the darkest timeline.
  4. Hairyducked Idiot
    None of them fit the special category you made up ad hoc to special plead this case, correct But it is true for Harper. So it may be a different situation, eh? This is heavily motivated reasoning

    Why can’t it be they are making an over the top pitch while also playing it down publicly? We never really knew of the Lester and Heyward interest until it got close and after the fact about how they pitched it. It’s not like Theo took out a front page ad in the tribune the day after the season ended to woo those guys, everything was secretive then too and our interest was played down. why do I feel like people just keep making up "we never knew they were interested in X" stories? The whole “Theo never leaks” mythos has been ridiculous from the beginning but it has become especially popular this offseason.

    This isn’t even a little bit true for Lester or Ohtani

  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    They also didn’t tell everyone they couldn’t afford him. The Otani courting was also very public as it happened
  9. Hairyducked Idiot
    Their interest in Lester was wide-open and public so long before he hit FA that it was basically tampering
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    Every single time they’ve wanted a player, they’ve gone over the top making a pitch to him. They’ve never once played hard to get, because that would be dumb. How many of those players had waged a multi-year hint campaign that they really, really wanted to be a Cub? How many of them were positioned to get the largest contract in sports history? None of them fit the special category you made up ad hoc to special plead this case, correct

    "Just a second, I've got Cole Hamels on the other line and don't wanna keep him waiting."
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    We're not going to get Bryce Harper because of Yu Darvish and Cole Hamels, a couple of 30-something free agent pitchers. That's pretty dumb.

    How much of a kiss-ass to the rich do you have to be to believe that a $600 million real estate development investment was some kind of altruism. They didn't choose not to use public money. They begged for it and didn't get it, and instead they used their own money *because they knew they would turn a profit on the development*.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's always Mack.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    Bears now tied with Rams for point differential.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    Well now I'm a lot more excited for the rematch in January.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    hahahahahahahahaaa
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    Coincidence.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    If they hold this lead I promise to never, ever bring up the "tired defense late" thing again.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    I love how the one thing in the world Nagy isn't doing from that formation is actually running it into the overloaded side, but the defense still has to overcommit to that.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    Bunching your receivers on the short side of the field on second and goal from the 3 is a very weird call.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    A mediocre 95 wins last year...A mediocre 96 wins averaged over the last 4 years. BLOW IT ALL UP! Average finish since the end of the 2017 season: Behind the Milwaukee Brewers.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    Can't make it past the Wild Card game. Can't beat the White Sox in the Vaunted Prospect Rankings. Cubs are in mediocrity hell. Either sign Harper or tank.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    You guys should call the local newspaper about youth sports honors snubs. They love that.
