Joking about waffles is just a line you don't cross. Or as I like to say, "a wall in the Sahara you just don't cross"

Yup. Just trading him feels like this scene in Office Space

Still having him, having traded for Chapman knowing who he is, AND then going out and trading for Murphy knowing who he is are bad, bad, bad looks for the Cubs. They need to be a LOT better. Russell needs to be gone ASAP. Yea, the Chapman thing especially.. I don't think enough has changed in two y...

Do we really think the Cubs are going to do something about this? This isn’t the first time Russel and domestic violence were spoken of in the same sentence; They looked into her Instagram allegations 18 months ago. With the current #metoo movement, it would be a PR disaster for the entire organiza...

Do we really think the Cubs are going to do something about this?

Plus, yea, the last part about injuries/busts. The 3 year window is with a lot of pieces falling right and on the very optimistic end.

You added an extra second round pick in there. Next years second round pick is Miller.

Are they dumpster fires that could have cap space to sign Kyrie?

De La Rosa has been great in 17 appearances for the Cubs, to the point where I'm almost expecting him to be on the postseason roster in the pen. Looking at the options: Strop (if healthy) Edwards Cishek Wilson Chavez Monty Rosario De La Rosa Kintzler Garcia Chatwood Mills Maples I'd say Edwards, Ci...

how the eff are you guys thinking my comment was serious

I didnt think you were serious, but still confused dafuq that tweet was

Bulls have officially won that trade, I think (and I'm not that convinced they even did that well in it yet)

Lynch, Amos, Robertson-Harris, Trevathan, Whitehair, and Howard are the only nevessary re-signings on that list None of the 9-10 are 100% necessary, but there is production that has to be replaced somewhere. There are some internal/cheap possibilities. But even of the core list you named, there is ...

Yelich has a wet noodle for an arm... I have no idea what that guy was thinking. Truth be told, I'd probably bet on Yelich to be the better overall player next year. He's just an incredibly well-rounded player (aside from his terrible arm strength). But Javy has been roughly as valuable this year (...

How do you figure a 3 year core for this group? 9 main contributors who have to be re-upped or replaced the next two offseasons, and not a ton of money or draft capital to do it. I think this is much more a 2 year window, and even that is going to require crafting work at the edges of the roster ne...

Dafuq is that?

Javy with an outside shot at the triple crown in the NL, now up to 10th in BA, 3rd in HR and 1st in RBI. Likely won't catch Yelich/Gennett for the batting title, but it's a great season. But he wins the Javy crown which replaces BA with leading the league in Javy tags, Javy slides, home bases swipe...

I don't think anything involving having to worry about whether our No. 2 overall picked QB is any good is a 'best case scenario.' *Maybe* if he is a problem we can still salvage a real championship window out of this year or next year, but it's gonna be pretty hard. my "best case scenario"...

Not exactly fantasy, but close enough. Anyone else doing this? https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2018-nfl-forecasting-game/ I'm somehow in the 90th percentile in rankings right now, but its basically purely luck/intuition at this point as I haven't used spreads or anything else to educate my gue...

When he signs his contract with the AAF.

I would bet against that happening. Only people who are capable of feeling shame would consider resigning over this. Being accused of sexual assault just emboldens these jackwagons. Trump could withdraw his nomination in an attempt to still make sure the nomination goes through this Congress. That ...

We can argue about the value of PFF grades all day but man did they not like Mitch last night https://i.imgur.com/FWNbzrG.jpg The defense looked really good mostly.

Yea the lack of accuracy really sucks. That was supposed to be his thing.
