I could see Trump tweeting the same exact quote.

True. Although, Trump wouldn't say he doesn't know what's going on. He'd just make up his own narrative.

What do you think all of the other players said? Surely Rizzo wasn't the only one asked. If he'd said no comment, they would have just not printed anything about his opinion. Disagree. He's one of the faces of the franchise. Whatever Rizzo said, it was going to be published or tweeted. As it should...

oh come on. rizzo could have just said "no comment" and people would have been fine with it. Maybe not, though. People could be pissed that by no commenting, he is also not speaking out against it. So horsefeathers Addison Russell for putting them in that position by being a horsefeathers...

If that wasn't bad enough, now we're criticizing Rizzo for not making strong enough of a public display? I don't think you can get any more self righteous than to criticize Rizzo for not waging an all out SJW war against a guy who he doesn't know if he's going to ever be back in the clubhouse with ...

Addison Russell horsefeathering sucks.

BigSlick wrote:His quality of play has nothing to do with this: he’s a monster and he needs to be off the team

Agreed, but for baseball executives running a business, him being a crappy player makes it so much easier to just cut ties than if he is of the talent of Manny Machado.

Rizzo is frustrated, he's frustrated that MLB took their horsefeathering time and he's frustrated Addison is an idiot. horsefeathers Russell. Lets get Machado in the off season and hope he's not a complete horsefeathers too F Machado, we’re fine with Baez/Zobrist/Bote. #BryceForever just sign like ...

Like I said back in July, Addison Russell is crappy.

how the eff are you guys thinking my comment was serious

I'm cracking up over here.

Hey, not everyone here is a genius, myself included obviously. I got triggered.

No excuses for any of you. I'm THE biggest idiot on the board and I knew it was a joke.

Javy with an outside shot at the triple crown in the NL, now up to 10th in BA, 3rd in HR and 1st in RBI. Likely won't catch Yelich/Gennett for the batting title, but it's a great season. I'm not great at math, but is it even possible for a swing in batting average that great at this point in the se...

Second half Addison Russell:

Holy horsefeathers.

I'm just intrigued to see how low his slugging percentage can go. Right now, it's at .346.

Addison Russell is crappy.

Always did think it was a strange time to apologize. I waited until after the season last year to do it.

Also, I ride with Duker.

Monty going on Thursday as the Cubs will use a 6 man rotation this week. Does this mean this Thursday, as in the makeup game against the Braves? Sure wouldn't mind pushing Q back one more day......the barves kill lefties, really hoping we don't see those guys in the playoffs. the cubs don’t play li...

I really don't understand why we haven't traded for another starter. What if Monty doesn't get better? Maybe no one better than Alec Mills has cleared waivers. But I thought they should have added another starter for depth at the deadline, who, if nothing more, could be a long man in the bullpen in...

I doubt the Cards or Brewers let him get to us. Im guessing Cardinals. Yeah, agreed, no chance. I'd have liked to have seen us get him, too. Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Simply put, I'd much rather have had him starting than Tyler Chatwood. It doesn't have to be Harvey, it just h...

Wait.

Some of you think Daniel Murphy is going to be a bench player?

Zobrist-2B Murphy-3B Bryant-RF Rizzo-1B Baez-SS Schwarber-LF Contreras-C Heyward-CF is pretty cool, especially when you don't think about defense or people who disagree with the gay lifestyle. why wouldn't you have bryant at 3B, murphy at 2b, and zobrist in rf? i'm pretty sure murphy can't even thr...

Yeah, I'm not totally updated on our minor league system, but I never have heard of the guy we gave up for Murphy and likely never will.

That's just some stupid talk by them.

If he's taking Russell's ABs, good. If he's taking anyone else's ABs, it's probably still ok but less good. Also, even though it makes perfect sense, it's kind of funny that the week Darvish probably becomes toast and Quintana continues to look like ass and we seem to desperately need a 4th playoff...

Random question for the non-baseball side.

I've been slowly collecting signed World Series pictures of the 25-man roster. In the end, do I just finish the project at 24 or do you add Chapman?
