QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 09:17 AM) I'm 100% for expansion -- it drives new fan engagement and is a fascinating process to follow for fans of all teams. The draft would be fun, even though we'd lose players, and dilution of talent creates more opportunities for everyone while making stars even more valuable. Wins all around. However, the BA proposal is a little aggressive for me. Realignment is whatever, and I could probably get over the league-lessness although I think too many others couldn't -- but reducing the number of games (even though it's probably better for everyone involved) is too hard to swallow for me because it instantly ruins the record book. Everything will always be a pre-realignment or post-realignment record, and that is just annoying. Not quite. You don't really hear that now a days. The schedule hasn't always been 162 games. I'm ok cutting off the 6 (1 week).

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 07:53 AM) Cubs fans calling the score want to bench Heyward, Baez, Bryant, Schwarber, and maybe Zobrist too And play some La Stella at third, Happ at second, Almora in CF, Jay in RF....Martin in LF? LOL good idea

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Oct 16, 2017 -> 10:47 PM) I don't see them ever giving up games, let alone that + other massive changes all at once. Also what happens to the DH rule? I agreed before but you're talking 3 home games each team (one week of the season).

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Oct 16, 2017 -> 10:47 AM) Always sorry to hear of an athlete dying early. I hope he didn't bring this on him self by speeding or reckless driving of the ATV. It's always sorry to hear about anyone dying early.

They were saying on the Score the other day that Maddon's flaw is that he creates a plan early in the day (just as any manager would) but he sticks by it very closely throughout the game and doesn't adjust his plan much at all.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 15, 2017 -> 11:28 AM) This is a short look into Kaplan’s thoughts about baseball: When the cubs were losing 100 games a year, and fans(especially him) were questioning the patience that Theo was advocating and saying “spend spend spend” In the off-season, with Rizzo ALREADY ON THE TEAM, this is what Kaplan advocated Think about how different the cubs would have been if they gave Pujols the contract that the Angels did I'm 100% convinced if Hendry was the GM still that off-season they would have signed either him or Fielder.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 14, 2017 -> 03:40 PM) So you check in with the app, then go to the box office and use the card? This must be what an old person feels like when they get their first iPad. Correct. And I tested the 24 hour rule yesterday. There isn't one. Just one movie a day.

QUOTE (aryzner @ Oct 15, 2017 -> 12:19 AM) Some people are angry at Puig for having fun. Then he tweets this: https://twitter.com/YasielPuig/status/919418124692209664 LOL Didn't see anyone getting mad last post season when both Contreras and Baez pimped fly balls to the outfielder lol

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 14, 2017 -> 10:01 PM) True. In that moment, with the Cubs on the ropes, I like some aggressive baserunning. Make them make a play on you. Just depends on how you look at it I guess, no one is really wrong. Yep. All that matters is he eventually got around

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 14, 2017 -> 09:58 PM) Russell didn’t give him a second look on that throw, he was going to first the entire time. True but if he takes off and Russell does happen to look? Out. He just can't assume he isn't going to look. Either way doesn't matter now.

QUOTE (Quin @ Oct 14, 2017 -> 09:58 PM) Lmao at these announcers complaining about the blocking rule ruining an "amazing play" I hope this gets overturned.

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 14, 2017 -> 09:53 PM) Some bad baserunning by the doofus on 2b Not at all actually. Rizzo was all over that bunt and Russell would have had a play on him at third had he ran. The bunt should have been attempted to be pushed down the first baseline honestly

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 14, 2017 -> 09:00 PM) Taking out Kershaw is going to backfire and everyone knows it It's all good. They got through the inning he'd pitch.

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Oct 14, 2017 -> 08:51 PM) Maybe LA can take it out now, and kindly hide it in the visiting clubhouse at LAA stadium when the Sox visit next year, so the Sox can have it for a while. They could just take it out now and drop it off at the Rate when they come to Chicago this week.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 14, 2017 -> 08:01 PM) Makes no sense to bat him 7th regardless And they seriously need 3 catchers on the roster? No one else with speed off the bench or another arm in the pen?

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 14, 2017 -> 07:56 PM) No he just sucks now With the current players in the lineup, they might as well bat Puig 4th.

Is Grandal hurt too? The Dodgers lineup looks like its missing more than just those two.

Great game!

Used movie pass for the first time last night. Really easy to use. Love that the app keeps track of the movies you see as well. Testing it again on this rainy afternoon (testing the 24-hour thing).

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 14, 2017 -> 10:16 AM) I mean, I disagree. Everything we've heard to date hasn't sounded that different than the Red Sox. So to keep hearing "this is much bigger" means there is either a much larger scale of the same thing or much bigger issues we don't know about. The initial story sounded worse than Red Sox. The fact that the GM and another (forgot who) are out immediately kinda indicates that. Agree to disagree I suppose

QUOTE (hi8is @ Oct 13, 2017 -> 06:16 PM) Well, for starters - the title of that article is: This article really provided nothing new. We all know there really isn't anything compared to this.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 13, 2017 -> 04:39 PM) New York Boston...New York...what year is it?!

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 13, 2017 -> 04:04 PM) I had an idea. Maybe some of use can meet at a bar for a game in the city or burbs and root for the dodgers in silence. Ok first round's on you

QUOTE (cjgalloway @ Oct 13, 2017 -> 01:15 PM) I love the idea of a guy like Franco. I just don't see how the Phillies could discount him that much. It would have to take a Dunning sort of talent at least. Yeah they can easily give him one more year to figure it out.
