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...

Man, things must have been REALLY bad for Trump to actually "admit" to misspeaking.

Damage control press conference at 1pm. Trump will come out and read someone else's words directly off a teleprompter and with no emotion. The media will talk about how presidential he appeared. We are all supposed to believe that these prepared remarks are what he meant to say and ignore what he ac...

Fast forward to next week... Everyone moves on and Trump's approval rating ticks up.

When did they start inviting Non All-Stars to be in the HR Derby? Are they really that desperate to find guys who want to do it?

When do we start to get concerned about Rizzo? The slumps are becoming more frequent, and when he slumps, he REALLY slumps. I don't know what his soft contact rate is, or where to even find such a thing, but it sure seems like he has more soft contact than anyone else in the Cubs lineup. He also has...

Are we entering the realm of another TJS now?

Yes and no. It is a color copy of the scorecard, but printed on a regular old sheet of legal paper.

Man, I really wish we had drafted Seth Beer.

Hoerner should be a fairly significant underslot, right?
