as someone that went to the thursday day game, i can confirm it was the heat. thank goodness the cubs won because that would’ve been a brutal way to spend a few hours otherwise.

i just knew by the thread title that this was going to trigger a rant from baby’s first outrage.

“if you film it, he will cum.”

if you livestream it maybe it will bring omc back.

did a switch get flipped? the ads are obnoxious today (frequency and placement.)

was there a layout change made to the boards within the last several hours? on mobile, recent posts are showing up on the right side of the site and smashing the topics up so it’s difficult to navigate.

is access to social as an “old timey member” based on post count or date joined?

imo, I’m white and i only understand racism as when minorities are physically or financially hurt.

probably. the implication then would be that those players were the kind of minorities that were respectful to the game instead of these uppity minorities (trademark ty cobb) playing the game now.

i cub so much at home by myself that my friends call me ron coomer.

this is my kinda horsefeathers right here The recent history of Cubs players involved in domestic violence might be reason to reposition your moral high ground. None of it is funny or joke worthy. we haven't memorialized our domestic abusers in our stadium. until that day happens i'm ok with my stance here.

St. Louis Dispatch about to publish a column saying we should rename it Stephen Piscotty's Disease. Pretty sure if my mother was dying of a horrible disease it would have an effect on my job performance. Pretty sure you're a dickhole for making a joke about it. at least she'll probably be spared the pain of outliving her son becoming another drunk driving statistic.

How is #FDB not a choice? Or is that considered more of a social movement?

TT: The posting fee would not count against the payroll, so it won't be part of the luxury tax calculation. But internally speaking, it would have to count against the Baseball Operations budget. Let's assume the Cubs Baseball Ops total budget for 2014 is $150M - that includes payroll for the 40 man roster, funding minor league ops like scouting and player development, coaches and executive salaries, training centers, etc... Let's assume Mr. Epstein has calculated that he has already spent $90M on the guaranteed contracts plus all the other stuff, and can spend up to $60M more on the 40 man roster. So, he adds up the $60M posting fee plus Tanaka's $12M salary (e.g. 6 years $72M) plus $30M in additional moves he wants to make for the 2014 team. So, he needs $102M, but only has $60M to spend. What does he do? He goes to Mr. Ricketts and says, "boss, I need to borrow $42M." Ricketts might say, "Sure, but I will have to lower your future budget by $7-8M per year over the next 6 years to pay for it." Or, he might say, "I'll give you $24M, but you need to trade $18M in salaries to fund the rest." Theo will have to consider his options carefully. From my vantage point, I think the Cubs should got for it! With the team set to have fairly cheap offensive productivity over the next few years, investing in difference-making pitching seems like a no-brainer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adg6iEz3-Ow

How come no one is mentioning this guy for the Illini job: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wofyU5whq0c He's young, black, a good teacher and a former pro. #makeithappen.

Yeah, it was probably 17-2. I know it looked odd to me. And I am positive that ESPN had the Cubs up there at 6-1. I was half asleep, but awake enough to see & hear them correctly. Not positive on their source, though. I saw the same thing last night before bed as well and thought that line was odd.

If only Ramirez would have taken Castro under his wing more because then Castro would have just been too lazy to even make it to first base.
