https://twitter.com/GwashburnGlobe/status/1306771306613014528 Is the team imploding or is Smart just kind of crazy? Yes. Smart took a few shots late that were pretty bad and he just shouldn’t ever really be shooting big shots in close games. Guessing someone(s) called him out and he took offense be...

I think they charged Bryant with a throwing error retroactively and it turned 1-2 ER (was originally ruled a hit) to unearned runs.

Between a ton of non tenders in addition to normal churn, this winter will have a lot of upside arms available. Depending on your thoughts on Mills we have either two or three open rotation spots. Love what Lester has done for this franchise, but I have no interest in having him back unless he mira...

I never even thought about it until Lester's post-game comments, but last night could have been his last start at Wrigley Field in a Cubs uniform. The way he spoke, it certainly sounded like that could be the case. What are everyone's thoughts about bringing him back next year? Obviously he isn't w...

The shots of him in the dugout talking to the coaches and trainer made it look like an injury discussion more than just pulling him

Hard pass. On an extremely cheap 1 year deal, maybe. But there’s a lot of other FA SPs who won’t cost much I’d prefer over him. Hell I’d have more interest in bringing Q and/or Chatwood (depending on the severity of his injury/if he needs surgery) back on 1 year deals over him. I’m actually pretty ...

Um, why would the MLBPA have agreed to this???? Tony Clarke is horsefeathering useless.

Hope you guys are enjoying this 16 team playoffs because it doesn’t look like it’s going away. https://twitter.com/hotlinejosh/status/1306076340173639680?s=21 I am not a traditionalist.

Another year will pass with Taylor Swift having more banners hanging in Staples Center than the Clippers

The Heat are fun as hell

Also bring 2020 this is definitely the year for a all Chicago World Series

Probably to keep a team from playing in a home stadium and make it as neutral as possible

How do we feel about facing the Cardinals, rivarly bragging rights aside? For some reason Flaherty, Hudson, Wainwright looks great on paper but doesn't really terrify me, especially if we can neutralize one of them with Darvish. The only hitter that truly scares me is Goldschmidt. They have other s...

Cohen is a POS but MLB thumbing their nose at an uber billionaire who can literally write a check for the team in favor of another ownership group that will be leveraged up the ass seems like smart policy for long term growth.

I don’t want the Phillies in a 3-game series. They don’t have the pitching depth for a longer series, but in a 3-game series with Nola and Wheeler each starting one game, that leaves very little margin for error. How do we feel about facing the Cardinals, rivarly bragging rights aside? For some rea...

It would be nice for that White Sox series not to matter the final weekend outside of 2/3 overall seed in NL so we can rest and align SPs, give rest to position guys and maybe try out a bullpen guy or three (Brailyn, Chafin, Strop, etc). I think if we can go 5-4 vs the Indians, Twins and Pirates ove...

Looks like the Indians pushed Bieber back from his start vs us Wednesday per ESPN probables. He was scheduled to go Wednesday earlier this week. Civale is listed now.
