There is only one untouchable on this roster and it is Tommy La Stella.

Checking on the Senate races yet to be called, it looks like they are all likely to go Republican. As much as I hate to say it, Republicans came out on top yesterday. They won basically every close Senate race, which was pretty much their best case scenario. The results also reinforced Trump's influ...

Why are teams going to be inclined to get a trade done sooner if the Cubs are strapped for cash? Like, who is that going to rush along outside of teams trying to swap bad contracts? I just don't get the people who are so adamant why this is some kind if elaborate ruse when there's little to no adva...

Seems to me like the Cubs window is quickly shutting I know, we might only win 92 games next year if we bring back largely the same team with some tweaks.* (Obviously we should be adding more, I’m not saying I’m fine with this)* On one hand, you can argue that this team can and should make the play...

Well, good thing NBC decided to stop airing the ad AFTER it already aired on Sunday Night Football. The damage has already been done and Republicans reached their target audience. These anti-immigration ads are getting out of control. Just saw one that basically said "Vote Democrat and a filthy...

I will leave this depressing article here. https://theathletic.com/630609/2018/11/02/what-the-cole-hamels-option-means-for-the-cubs-and-bryce-harper/ But Friday’s salary-dump trade – moving Drew Smyly to the Texas Rangers in order to pick up the $20 million option on Cole Hamels – reinforced what mu...

I saw this ad on TV last night and it is sickening.

Is there anything in the CBA that prevents his release during the suspension?

Did anyone watch Season 1 of Cobra Kai on You Tube? I'm halfway through it right now and, very suprisingly, it is freaking awesome.

I wouldn't classify Strop as "very likely" done for the playoffs. I won't be suprised at all if he is back for the NLDS.

If only there were some indication that Morrow would be injury prone...

Do you have any idea how coming forward to report assault against powerful men adversely affects a woman’s life. The entire history of Westen civilization is replete with examples. How in God’s green earth could you ever think a women would do something like this as a political stunt? It’s unconsci...

I don't want Kavanaugh anywhere near the Supreme Court, and I think he could be disqualified for numerous reasons, but I struggle with the Ford accusation because I don't see any way for it to be proven or disproven. I don't doubt that the events occurred, but I fear for the precedent it sets and th...

This actually makes me slightly more optimistic for next year that they found something wrong outside of the stress reaction.

This should make for good sports talk radio tomorrow. I usually find any NFL talk insufferable, but tomorrow should be the exception.

Following this disaster of a season for Washington, does Dave Martinez even make it through next year? It seems that he may be in over his head as a manager, and based on his interview history I suspect that many other teams had already come to that same conclusion.

Kris Bryant can take the rest of the year off now. The offense is fixed!

So Sonny Gray also has some unsavory Tweets coming back to bite him. Maybe. Maybe not. There is a dangerous precedent being set where people are jumping to conclusions without the full context. While some of these people may be genuinely bad guys, I don't think it is fair or productive to keep digg...

I really hope you are correct

https://twitter.com/ESPNChiCubs/status/1022948410943569921 uh....good? maybe? im sure adjusting your mechanics to avoid having pain when throwing is normal....right?? That doesn't exactly inspire optimism for me. Pitching injured and changing mechanics, what could go wrong? Sent from my Pixel using...

Never say never. If the dude magically goes all ace down the stretch and wins the world series with a bigass effort in the playoffs they will at least consider paying him $20m to pitch next year. Not that there's any real chance of that happening. Isn't it essentially $14m leftover with the Rangers...

What would this mean for the luxury tax this year? Does it likely put the Cubs over?

Anyway, about 10 minutes ago I check my twitter and see one of my college buddies that lives in Chicago wrote to me that he has a Javy bobblehead for me and needs my address and its easily the highlight of my day, I can't tell you how excited I am now . I was at the game today, got in line about 25...

Cubs rotation is on pace for the worst season in team history https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-cubs-are-on-pace-for-their-worst-rotation-ever/ I stopped reading after the second paragraph because I couldn't make any sense of the premise. 10th in WAR, but 26th relative to other rotations? What do...
