Re: 80 game season with expanded playoffs, starting in July
I actually am with the owners in just one very specific respect - I don't see the draw in trying to cram in 114 games and extending the regular season another month past when it usually ends. Hopefully it lands in the 75-80 range with the full prorated salaries. I think they have all but admitted t...

Re: Movie Thread 2: The Sequel
Yeah, Uncut Gems... anybody see that coming? I was personally floored. Who would have guessed that the Joker's greatest crime would turn out to be shamelessly stealing Adam Sandler's Oscar? The Oscar he wasn’t even nominated for? Yeah, I liked the movie and thought Sandler was good but certainly do...

Re: General Cubs Chit-Chat
Latest Forbes report says Cubs are worth $3.2 Billion, not a bad return on spending $845 million in 2009. So why did we have to sit out this offseason free agency? There are many ways to answer your question, but the $3.2B figure isn't the best. It's not a "return," it's a valuation. A si...

If you're the first pitcher to face them don't you have to drill him with the first pitch and then just shrug your shoulders and say "Well I just assumed they'd have a sign for inside heat, my bad."
