Cubs owner Tom Ricketts was asked why more money wasn't invested in the on-field product this off season (Bryce/Manny etc) : "That's a pretty easy question to answer. We don't have anymore." My level of disgust has reached on all time high. Anyone with even a casual interest in the cubs fi...

The Cubs won 95 games last year with way more going wrong than right. I’d ask you to pick a new schtick but I know you don’t have it in you to avoid bad faith arguments. I posted something positive and you start with the negative "schtick". All winter people have posted about the lack of ...

Hard to top whatever number reliever you consider this.

Him saying they don't talk about it is nonsense. He's being a good friend and shutting up. Have to love the subtle jab at MLB owners for it being weird only 3-4 teams being inerested in generational talents.

In Theo we trust- 11/2/2016

I'm still betting Cubs.

I'm talking about baby mama 2 situation that just came today. I'm asking the I'll never spend another dollar on the Cubs ect crowd how do you justify watching NBA/NFL were this behavior is a common occurrence? You're assuming that we all also watch the NBA or the NFL. You're also acting like this (...

Russell being an absentee dad to his illegitimate son is horrible but not really a story or a problem for me if it was I wouldn't be able to watch a single NFL or NBA game. It's petty to pay in change and quarters but it's also petty to air your grievances on social media.

Angels have been my second guess on a Harper/Manny mystery team. My first guess and hope is obviously the Cubs as the mystery dance partner.

https://www.cubsinsider.com/2018/12/16/cubs-trade-rumors-jason-heyward-once-again-subject-of-speculation-involving-giants/ The headline made it seem like they had a new rumor making the rounds but he didn't reference anything in the post. I thought Heyward had a full no trade interesting to see it's...

No, you need to grow up. Also, it's fun to have a team that buys talented players. It's not fun to have them choose profit over said talented players. How do you know they are choosing profit over talented players? https://media.giphy.com/media/3oEdv7Ob55JGHS3Ces/giphy.gif Telling someone to grow u...

https://twitter.com/JulieDiCaro/status/1072177827762577413 i feel like she tweeted things like this late in the game (like right before reports started coming about our level of involvement) about tanaka and heyward, didn't she? anybody else remember? I think it was Heyward. I definitely put her wo...

Seriously; Tim's take is the kind that people here would be losing their minds over if it came from a Cardinals or Brewers message board. That's some primo KeithStone-ing. Tim did say he was talking about decline based on age. I read it that Zobrist is the only guy who is so old you have to expect ...

It would be nice if Theo had Thanksgiving with the Harper family this year.

Was hoping for Rivera or Ellis but this will do. Does he bump Victor Caratini from the post season roster?

Chris Tillman
Enny Romero

My totally made up guess at what Theo does.

Shae Simmons might be another Theo steal if he can stay healthy. My guess is Perez gets released shortly. 96, 97, 98, all with sinking action, backed up by a knuckle curve and a slider that miss bats with ease and a split-change that shaves 10 mph off his heater. Simmons is a big moment pitcher pack...
