I wouldn't mind Bob Melvin as manager...

Cubs Thread 2023
Watch the Pirates lay down next week against the Reds and Marlins just to give the Cubs a hard time.

Cubs Thread 2023
You'd think the schedule favors them. They play the Rockies this weekend and then the Braves and Brewers next week, who will have nothing to play for and will probably want to setup their playoff rotations (especially the Brewers). Miami has the Brewers, Mets, and Pirates left. Brewers' magic # is 1 now I believe, so they may lay down if the Cubs lose one game this weekend. Reds have the Pirates, Guardians, and Cardinals. Padres have Cardinals, Giants, and Sox, but they're 4 back with 9 to play, so they basically have to go undefeated.

Salvy Perez Trade Rumors
I really don't understand why we're trying to replicate the Kansas City Royals. How many games did they win when Perez hit 48 homers? That's not a model you want to replicate.

Yoan might actually be good in KC...or any city without a thriving nightlife scene.

Salvy Perez Trade Rumors
Sure, replace one cooked catcher with another that's gonna make $42 million over the next 2 years. Just...why? Somehow, Perez has less WAR than Grandal this year with more playing time. That's hard to do.

Probably because Williams just released a statement saying he's resigning due to health and family reasons lmao

They're actually worse. At least nobody on the Sox coaching staff got raided by the FBI (yet).

It’s official - Getz named SVP & GM
Damn it, I knew I should have put (yet) in my post.

It’s official - Getz named SVP & GM
Welp, I guess the silver lining to this is that they didn't hire Dayton Moore.

2022 Soccer Thread
Saudi Arabia is throwing billions at players but who knows if it'll actually get people watching. MLS is super accessible with the MLS pass. If they capitalize on this correctly they might be able to lure a lot more older stars over without having to pay them oil money.

He still played and scored a crazy goal. I never thought I'd actually watch MLS this much.

That's some awful timing for Shohei.

After an exhaustive search, Getz named GM/VP
You could say that would be a Desastre Personal for Moncada.

I think I might be done as a fan if they hire Moore. That would be such a slap in the face. Look at us, we're the Chicago Royals now!

KW/Hahn - They Gone
If only Rick and KW could have asked ChatGPT before they made some of their moves.

KW/Hahn - They Gone
Kinda funny that they both got fired at the same time. Now that story about Kim Ng calling KW about Jake Burger doesn't seem so weird. Kenny had a huge say this whole time.

Women's World Cup
USWNT was a goal post away from not making it out of the group. This might be the worst World Cup ever for the USWNT.

Graveman to Astros for C Korey Lee
Lee is easily the best catcher in the org now. He actually has the exact opposite profile of Quero. If Quero can't stick behind the plate, there's always Lee.

Lynn and Kelly to LAD for Trayce Thompson, RHSP Nick Nastrini and RHRP Jordan Leasure
The fact that we traded for Trayce Thompson is actually hilarious.
