RIP Sandy Martinez

for a second you had me thinking sandy had fallen victim to the crazy 90's cubs death curse

Corey Patterson missed this conversion by one year.

i wonder if corey patterson turns out any differently with 2018 cubs level minor league player development vs the disaster that the organization was 20 years ago, which was still a relative disaster compared to the rest of the league

I watch baseball movies to see people playing baseball or doing baseball industry things. Some are better at recreating that experience than others, but even the especially bad/stereotypical ones I can still appreciate because that's what I wanted to see. Field of Dreams is an exception because not...

boring ass trash movie

i'm laughing way too hard at that

This thread grates on me way more than it should, which is probably not at all. Dernier was just decent for only a year and Kenny Lofton was a Cub for only a couple months. These leadoff combos were not deserving of nicknames. Like at all. Why is this making me so angry? In summary, the nickname &q...

I can't even think of a national commercial Wade is in and Rodgers has had one of the most famous athlete ad campaign in recent existence.

With the Rangers, I at least understand that they built it before the retractable roofs were a thing and it's blazing hot there.. It opened 5 years after the Rogers Centre.

With the Rangers, I at least understand that they built it before the retractable roofs were a thing and it's blazing hot there. The Braves and Diamondbacks ones are way more egregious to me.

Weren't some posters licking their chops of few years back, trying to figure out who the Cubs could trade to pry him away from the Mets? My, how the mighty have fallen. I don't think so...I think the vast majority here were against the trade that Mets fans and the media seemed to think was inevitab...
