Gonna be real tough to win the division with no Contreras, no Lester, and a horrible bullpen.

Sorry if posted elsewhere, but the Cubs are the first defending WS Champs ever to not send a returning player to the ASG.

Well, Miggy. Thanks for the NLCS Grand Slam and game winning RBI in game 7 of the World Series, but you really f-ed up. Happy trails.

Damn, my powers couldn't save him. Wonder if we'll see Contreras in the OF for a game or two.

In all honesty, is it the craziest idea? It's easy to forgot how little MLB experience he actually has. I think we can live with an OF of Happ/Almora/Heyward/Jay/Zobrist for a bit.

It appears Schwarber is the clear winner. If any mods want to go ahead and change it, feel free.

Also I should mention I was at last Sunday's game... my first trip to Wrigley since '03. So if anyone wants to throw me some tickets...

I will abide by the results of this poll but I'm voting Russell.

Damn, that's sweet.

About the same as you staying rational in the game threads.

Well, thanks for taking the high road.

What are the chances Andreoli passes Szczur on the depth chart?

MLB network Yeah, no. The World Series was broadcast on Fox and Fox alone in America. The only way you got Vasgersian was in Canada or an MLB International feed. Fox televised the series in the United States, under contract with Major League Baseball giving it exclusive rights to the World Series t...

Say what you will about Matt Vasgersian, the dude knows how to heighten the excitement and drama of a postseason home run. I'll say that he's way over the top and sounds like nails on a chalkboard. What an odd take. "Way over the top" for a clutch home run in the postseason? Hmm ok I appr...

Would a video of all the postseason dongs the Cubs hit in 2016 be of any interest to anyone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-4e5qBvC-U Say what you will about Matt Vasgersian, the dude knows how to heighten the excitement and drama of a postseason home run.

Rizzo and Wood are the only holdovers from 2012 after Castro and Valbuena were traded away. 2013 was Rondon's Rule 5 year, along with Arrieta, Strop, and Grimm mid-season. I was looking at different Cubs rosters & stats the other day. The 2013 team really blew my mind, it was just weird seeing ...

So, what did everyone get?

Our FO is good.....

Who?

Glad to see Fred running away with this. No doubt he was involved in the divine intervention of game 7.

If anyone's actually remotely surprised that Arrieta isn't a liberal, they aren't paying attention the world around them.

I live in Minnesota (never updated my location) and visited the Mall of America today. Every hat store (there are like 4 Lids') had the WS Champion hats and Champs had a limited selection of shirts. I picked up a hat and the grey trophy shirt.

Sorry if mentioned already, but Game 7 is finally on iTunes for $2.99. If only they knew what most of us would pay for it.

WGN is showing a lot, unfortunately they are using a flip phone camera to show it.

As bad as the Cusack duo is, they're still 100x better than this WGN dumpster fire.
