  1. It's from a Lincoln Park song.
  2. People love to cram their sports into narratives. "The Cubs are rebuilding and young so they have to go step by step in the process" is an easy narrative to understand. Actually analyzing baseball teams is hard and complicated.
  3. Yeah, I'm gonna spend 10 minute explaining ZIPS projections to my friends and family just so they can go "Yeah, but it's still the Cubs. Haha, June Swoon black cat goat haha." Talking baseball IRL is the worst thing in history. It is the Schlitter of conversations.
  4. I admitted it was a handwave.
  5. If Billy Beane doesn't wake up one morning and decide he's willing to trade a guy normally untouchable, then none of the other 28 GMs were going to give you anything close to that.
  6. We have it for 5-6 more years, and primes are ending earlier than ever right now.
  7. I'm leaning heavily on "lucked into Bryant and Russell" to do my handwaving for me.
  8. It's great because the good stuff you just know it when you see it, it doesn't have to be forced like stupid Sparkle crap.
  9. Kris Bryant just decided to not strike out anymore once he hit the majors.
  10. Kris Bryant continues to average 0.1 fWAR per game, or a 16-win pace.
  11. Just bury the Pirates. Sweep em and leave 'em 4.5 behind us.
  12. Maddon with the amazing Schlitter Gambit, in which he gives away an easy win in order to make the comeback more emotionally devastating to a key division rival.
  13. OK, you guys are apparently like 30 seconds ahead of me.
  14. You forgot to tell mddn, which is kind of the important part.
  15. You kinda have to let Jackson have a real pen role now. At least a shot at it.
  16. If we don't come back tonight, I'm on my last "well, at least we're still over .500." I would like to get to 3 games over please.
  17. #wewouldbegoodexceptallourgoodrelieversgothurt
  18. Remember when I was all like "replay is annoying and never works so let's not have it" and everyone was like "SHUT UP KYLE REPLAY IS GREAT BECAUSE THEY WILL GET THE CALLS RIGHT."
  19. Our punishment for tampering is to lose every challenge in the first half.
  20. That is the most arousing thing I have ever heard in my entire life.
