The Astros are now officially better than us. No sarcasm. They still employ the abuser who his comments about got him fired Well sure. I'm not rushing to buy an Astros jersey. I'm justing saying they have risen over the low-moral-bar that is the Cubs organization. They are awarded no points. What d...

It will probably be a part of most packages, but I sure am not planning on going out of my way to get the stupid Marquee network.

Of course that's easy to say during this current streak - I'm sure they'll be able to pull me back in with a decent off-season and spring excitement.

Thank the maker and get Cole.

Can interpret this a bunch of ways but man he’s setting up that bouncing Maddon will be the big move with a few roster tweaks and adds and basically run it back, isn’t he? https://twitter.com/espnchicubs/status/1172598193223274498?s=21 I know it’s “just” twitter and we all mess up time to time blah...

If anyone can give me some info that Theo could've gotten Chapman without trading Gleyber, the Yankees did not have to give up a future superstar to acquire Chapman When they acquired him it was right after the dv allegations, from what I remember, and it was unclear how long he'd be suspended, so ...

Is it really that far off to call him one of the smart ones? I mean, he doesn't really have to be all that smart to be in that category. Right?

If a rich retired guy got divorced with a young child would he pay child support based on the zero dollars per year income, or would it be based on his worth derived from previously earned money?

If Brad Brach felt he was tipping his changeup with the Cubs, then why didn't Brad Brach stop doing that?

Screw the Rickettses. Give Rizzo all of the money.

Seems like a weird time to complain about this considering only three guys went that route.

It's a Bob Nightengale joke

Doesn't this pretty much confirm that he is guaranteed to be traded?

So your big off-season shakeup is to re-sign Hamels to keep the exact same rotation in place, trade the starter type position players that don't have much value for approximately nothing, since that is about what they are worth, and have Maples fix the bullpen by telling him to pound the zone? I don...

These guys are both so weird!

Is he trying to say "Twelfth on the club" or does he just not know how to refer to the team in a normal way?

They aren't bees.

And Randy Johnson was at just over 50% of his career K's at age 35

After checking his fangraph page, I can definitely conclude that I haven't appreciated just how great he was.

I know nothing about horse racing, but I had five bucks on maximum security to win and I'm mad.

I liked it and all, but why was the defensive strategy so terrible? What was the purpose of having everyone start outside of the walls? Why did the dothraki charge ahead for no purpose and get themselves all dead? Why was the fire moat only five feet wide? Why wasn't everyone parked around Bran...

It doesn't look much better in the years after that either. To many states lean right. I'm kind of worried that a dem won't be able to pass any legislation or seat a Supreme Court Justice for a long time without systemic changes. Statehood for DC and Puerto Rico could help shift the map a bit and ne...

Most of my angry feelings should have been more specifically aimed at the guy from the last page calling people pencil dicks for questioning why he decided to have a critical discussion on singer's directorial abilities while ignoring the other stuff in a thread entirely about the other stuff. Sorry...
