Wife and kids are going to in-laws for a week; help me choose the video game I’ll buy for this momentous occasion: -Assassins Creed Odyssey: I’ve played and completed every single assassins creed game and while I enjoyed the gameplay of origins, the story bored me and seemed hard to get into and by ...

So it has now been a full month since Rizzo last hit a HR and going all the back to June 1st his SLG is .438. I know the OBP is still there, but I'm starting to get a bit worried here. I'm not...Riz has been a notoriously streaky hitter in his career. In April of last year he hit 1 HR in 18 games w...

Anger about the trade aside, I’m happy Monty will almost certainly get a chance to start. He obviously has wanted to start for several years but was a team player and accepted lesser roles for multiple years

Also thank GOD joe won’t have him to bring in against lefties

I know Monty has been bad and hurt this year but trading him straight up for a rental backup catcher is beyond horsefeathering stupid. I'm actually mad about this. Caratini has been solid as a backup and 2B has been a black hole and the pen is a mess but ok. Yeah wtf this trade makes no horsefeathe...

So umm is Heyward going to opt out after the season?

He still has a chance to right?

https://twitter.com/ESPNChiCubs/status/1150152043501371398 If anybody here watched that September 2013 Cubs game started by Jaxon, my hat off to you. somebody named Donnie Murphy hit cleanup for the Cubs that day, what in the world? Yeah I remember I always used to get him and Daniel Murphy mixed u...

Damn. Really nice response to this question. I’m impressed.

I'm generally in the "clutch is noise" camp, however I think there is some reason it may persist in the numbers even if it's not some moral failing: 1. Good hitters are always going to suffer because managers are managing to them. For example, you'll bring in the closer in the 8th to face...

Speaking of Todd/Trump: https://patch.com/illinois/lakeview/cubs-co-owner-host-trump-fundraiser-wisconsin The day after five Democratic presidential candidates visit Wisconsin for a town hall, Chicago Cubs co-owner Todd Ricketts will host a campaign fundraiser for President Donald Trump in Milwaukee.

Oh Todd, you scamp. For nearly a decade, Chicago Cubs co-owner Todd Ricketts has lived in a 5,000-square-foot North Shore house nestled on a meticulously landscaped lot complete with a Japanese-style garden. It’s a showcase Wilmette home a short walk from Lake Michigan. But it’s not the home that R...

https://twitter.com/michael_cerami/status/1148266941376860162 While the overall point is valid, this is a REALLY weird roller coaster of a list of players to make it: https://twitter.com/FullCountTommy/status/1148270741198200834 Also, while RISP may be a concern, its more the hitting in high levera...

This has to be Bradley’s last match for the USMNT

How fun going from watching the women dominate to watching the men get dominated *sigh*

Yessssss

Boogie signing a 1 year deal with the Lakers. Probably a good move for both sides. Brought back Rondo, McGee and KCP also and signed Danny Green. Really like the last one since they desperately needed shooting. They also got Quinn Cook from Warriors so they got another guy who can shoot. Yeah...the...

How do you think fans of Dominque's Hawks (or Dino's Celtics!)felt never getting out of the 2nd round? More importantly, I just now for the first time in my life spotted the Hawk in their logo, rather than just seeing it as a poorly drawn left facing pac-man Yeah I get it. My perspective is obvious...

I wish I could put into words how I feel about the NBA with all these superstar team ups. I miss being able to tie superstars to teams like Clyde’s Blazers, Hakeem’s Rockets, Dominique’s Hawks etc. Now it’s like every superstar is just a journeyman bouncing from team up to team up. I know I sound l...

This might sound insane but I think FFH is my favorite MCU movie

I mean how can people think this is any sort of argument?

Addicting. I get anxiety whenever I see that hat turn red.

Theo just said on his 670 interview that they are calling up Garcia today, Maples going down

Terrible front office that tends to put together middling teams and hire horsefeathers and/or hateable coaches. It's a pretty potent recipe for why big players wouldn't want to come to the Bulls. And ridiculously high income tax rates doesn’t help Rrrrrrright, because no player wants to play in LA ...

Will Mark Grace make the Baseball Hall of Fame or will he fall short? It’s a question many have pondered since his retirement in 2003.

Uhhh who exactly is pondering this?
