Sox Acquire Kimbrel; Madrigal, Heuer to Cubs
And that's a good thing.

He's slowly losing credibility.

Madrigal Appreciation Thread
Sucks you're going from a playoff team to 100 losses. Good luck with the rehab. I'm certain we both wish you could have stayed injury free.

Sox playoff bullpen is just disgusting
Could we have Kimbrel and Hendriks travel separately as extra insurance.

Cubs Wave White Flag
Best of luck to them. I try to remember that those Cub fans are the same guys we high five at Bears, Bulls, and Hawks games. We can pencil them in for 100 losses next year.

Sox Acquire Kimbrel; Madrigal, Heuer to Cubs
If this puts the Sox in the WS this year, I don't care if Nick becomes a HoFer. I thought we learned something in 2006.

Lol. I worked the Whizzer at Great America

Sox Acquire Kimbrel; Madrigal, Heuer to Cubs
Obviously Nick can't pass a physical right now. I wonder what protection is in the trade for the Cubs.

I love the trade. However, we'll have to overcome this.

The scene, two hip cats JR and TLR swinging around the piano singing . . . People seem to find And how they're in a hurry To complicate their minds By chasing after money And dreams that can't come true I'm glad that we are different We've better things to do May others plan their future I'm busy loving you One, two, three, four Shah-la, la-la-la-la live for today Shah-la, la-la-la-la live for today And don't worry 'bout tomorrow hey, hey, hey Shah-la, la-la-la-la live for today Live for today We were never meant to worry The way that people do And I don't need to hurry As long as I'm with you

Trevor Bauer receives 2 YEAR suspension from MLB
I wonder if behavior is changing for the better or it wasn’t bad to begin with. I think of Marv Albert as being the start of guys getting called out and held accountable.

Student Loan Debt
We're just creating better worker bots for the capitalists to exploit.

Student Loan Debt
If everyone received $10,000 in forgiveness it would benefit more those that chose a less expensive route. That $10,000 might be 50% of their total bill versus 10% or less at an expensive private school. The surprise to me in this is the realization that somehow in my lifetime Democrats went from being the worker, tradesperson, blue color person to the educated and Republicans are now Joe Six Pack.

Student Loan Debt
Yes. We've bailed out enough corporations in my lifetime, I'd like to see individuals get a handout for once.

Does TLR need to light up the umpires more?
They won't make the MLB if an umpire is afraid that someone might yell at them and it affects their calls. They get to, and stay at, the MLB for getting calls right, not from avoiding confrontation by making wrong calls.

Call your sons, call your daughters, call your friends, call your neighbors - Hawk Harrelson will be inducted today into the BBHOF
At his best, he was great. At his worst, he was ordinary. I thought he should have switched roles his last 10 years.

Yermin retiring? Nope. Wait, maybe yes? Wait, he's active in Charlotte again.
Tony now Ozzie?! Managers can be so mean.

The Beer Thread
It makes a great chaser for a bloody Mary. Spotted Cow has a great marketing plan. Limited availability in a tourist area. The name link of cows and Wisconsin. A totally neutral flavor so if you buy a pitcher no one can really complain. And it's at literally every bar we went to. And my wife bought a 12 pack to give our kids back in Texas. It's drinking memories. I'll knock down an Old Style and Miller High Life while I'm here. I had my share of Spotted Cow here. It was always the same. What do you have on tap? Usually a boring mix of national brands then a Leiny Summer Shandy or Spotted Cow.

Who would you put Yermin on for a Chicago Sports Mount Rushmore? Yermin William Perry Granville Waiters Bob Probert

I'm returning from Wisconsin. I don't get the Spotted Cow worship. Actually, I have a clue. The correlation between ordering a Spotted Cow and wearing a Cub's cap was almost 100%.

What team has the hitting equivalent of "Coop will fix 'em"?
-

And I'm very happy he's currently not performing well enough to make this team. Championship teams are tougher to stay on. And if he can't handle his manager being upset with him how's he going to handle a WS with 60,000 fans booing him? Retire?

To a MLB or MiLB contract?
