  1. It's May 1st and the Cubs are 15-12

    Let's take a moment to laugh at ourselves. A not-so-long time ago, in a few threads not that far away...

  2. Hurricane hacks

    Who's got 'em? Never been smack in the middle of one before, and there's been a slight Category 4 complication to the trip I'm on. Looking for creative things that aren't on the usual lists, as I've got most of that (as much as I can being in a hotel). Plenty of provisions on hand and plan on...

  3. Albert Pujols lets slip that he's older than his listed age

    As many suspected, Pujols is actually 40 years old, not 38. This makes so much sense in terms of his career arc and the Cardinals' decision to let him walk. There's just no way they didn't know. It also raises interesting questions about whether the Angels could get themselves out from under...

  4. What's going on with Javy Baez?

    So I was wondering why Baez was hitting the cover off the ball, and dug into some of the numbers. It turns out he's kinda weird right now, and I'm still not sure what it means. It could be that he's just locked in and seeing pitches well right now, or it could be that he's made some kind of...

  6. It's time

    I don't care if its a bunch of scrubs and nonroster invitees playing today. It's baseball, and it's back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBeD74f5_6w&t=9s

  7. Mark Appel hangs 'em up

    Never even made it to the bigs. Still not sure what happened to him, because it seems to go beyond injuries. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2757009-why-mark-appel-perhaps-the-biggest-bust-in-mlb-history-is-retiring-at-26

  8. Update your Intel Management Engine

  9. White Sox pitcher Carlos Rodon expected to miss 6-8 months after shoulder surgery

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/ct-white-sox-carlos-rodon-surgery-20170928-story.html Terrible news. Anytime you go into the shoulder it's Pandora's Box. Hope he returns with no lingering effects.

  10. Chris Coghlan

    It's magic. And doing it to Yadier "Stickyfingers" Molina is the best part. 857055401501700096 857055772202676225

  11. Little things you're looking forward to this year

    Setting aside the obvious, like "another World Series," what are the little things you're looking forward to this year? Things that make you happy you're a Cubs fan. Some of mine: -A whole season of Contreras-to-Baez caught-stealing highlights -Watching Javy Baez do pretty much anything...

  12. Scot McCloughan back on the sauce

    As bad as things get for the Bears, no one runs an organizational gong show like Dan Snyder and Bryce Allen's Redskins. Hire a twice-fired drunk as GM and wish upon a star that he's all dried up? Why not...

  13. The Curious Have Won

    "Theo Epstein overcame 108 years of history to build a championship team in Chicago. In the process, he ended baseball’s long-running analytics war by proving that an objective, data-driven approach can change the game" The Great Analytics War ended at 48 minutes after midnight on November 3...

  14. Jason Heyward literally earned his salary last night

    Accounting for the fact that the Cubs are not your "average" organization and that this victory will be wildly more valuable to them than the average franchise, it's a safe assumption that Jason Heyward's victory-inspiring rain delay speech last night will easily earn back the entirety (and...

  15. Rick Morrissey, vanguard Plan Not-Getter, finally gets it

    http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/history-takes-a-hike-as-the-cubs-head-to-the-world-series/ "Theo Epstein, the Cubs president of baseball operations, wouldn’t touch the trophy, surely because he has a better one in mind. He should. His team is a monster." Yeah Rick, that was kind of the...

  16. The Javy Baez Series

    It's seems like this is one of those seminal moments where a young guy just blossoms on the national stage. There's been a lot of 'games' in Cubs history--Sandberg, Wood, etc.--but Javy Baez just had himself a whole series. He was absolutely electric, his defense almost superhuman at times...

  17. Nerding out on the Cubs' defense

    Executive Summary: It's really, really good. http://wrigleyville.locals.baseballprospectus.com/2016/09/23/chicken-or-the-egg-why-its-hard-to-separate-the-cubs-pitching-from-its-defense/

  18. The 2016 Cubs: Not the team we expected, but the team that we needed

    Craig Edwards at Fangraphs breaks down the signature aspect of this year's Cubs: Their historically good combination of defense and starting pitching. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/whos-responsible-for-the-cubs-incredible-pitching-stats/ It's interesting; heading into the season, most...

  19. Hugh Freeze is shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000660230/article/ole-miss-coach-hugh-freeze-shocked-by-tunsil-admission "Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze expressed surprise Thursday that former Rebels star Laremy Tunsil stated during a press conference last week at the NFL draft that he received money from a...

  20. Who had the worst night?

    The Giants: Had two players they really wanted to draft and got neither, thanks to a well-timed social media bomb and well-timed move by Ryan Pace. Instead, they perplexingly reached for a player who was a consensus late first round pick at best and drafted him in the Top 10. It smacked of...
