This is step one of our bullpen being a helluva lot better than it was last year. Getting guys like Robertson and Duke for the later innings, and pushing everyone else back into the middle innings will be a huge pressure reliever for some of the younger guys.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 3, 2015 -> 09:16 AM) Honestly, DMD just isn't that good at the moment. Yes, he should be playing with Dunleavy on the shelf but once Mike comes back I have no problem with McDermott riding the pine for now. Lots of guys get basically a redshirt year as rookies with the Bulls. You can tell the kid has a ways to go still. He will be fine.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 3, 2015 -> 05:45 AM) I just don't get the point of articles like this. I guess for discussion. Would rather be compared to the Royals and Tigers. Cheap Clickbait.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 03:28 PM) It really chaps my ass that all those traditions that Harry started with the Sox are all Cubs things now. The Cubs can have that s***.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 03:23 PM) The Cubs don't do it. They do it before the game with the Anthem. Celebrity Take Me Out To The Ballgame takes a backseat to no one. The Cubs are pretty much immune to everything that the rest of the sports world faces. They are the exception to pretty much every rule out there.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 01:16 PM) I agree with you. Pitch Perfect was also one of the great HBO movies where I may have seen about 30 times because it was always on and I'd always watch it. It was cute the first time, but definitely a diminishing marginal return movie.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 03:13 PM) Would be great if they could get rid of God Bless America at 7th inning stretch and either put it before anthem, or replace it with one of the better songs like America, the beautiful (especially with it's loose Chicago ties). But alas, that's impossible. IIRC that was an MLB directive, and I am guessing no one wants to be the person to stop doing it for fear of being labeled a commy.

The worst possible reason to get hitched is because everyone else is.

Do most public schools not have rules about vaccinations? I know in Indiana, you can't enroll your kids if they aren't up to date on their shots. Even at the high school, they sent a bunch of kids home last year who they found hadn't gotten their shots they were supposed to have by a certain age once they missed a deadline. They wouldn't let them come back until they had all of their shots.

I know I am outdated, but they could go back to all organ music, and I would be OK with that.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 12:33 PM) Um there was a Pitch Perfect 2 trailer, that won everything. If there is more overrated comedy in the last 5 years, I haven't seen it.

More than mainstream, it has become a thing among the I am smarter than everyone else crowd. @ejleven: Reminder that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is one of the premier anti-vaccine nut jobs http://time.com/3012797/vaccine-rfk-jr-thimerosal/ …

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 10:58 AM) I think it's kinda weird that the first person they hand the trophy to isn't the coach or the MVP QB but the team's owner. Compare that to the Stanley Cup, where Toews is the first person from the Blackhawks organization to hoist the cup. In hockey, the winning captain is always the first to get it. Who he hands it off to is always the interesting part.
