    NFL: **** Official 2023 NFL Draft Thread ****

    You've got a pretty low bar for "abuse". X had 98 yards on 11 catches in that game, 7 of which being for 5 yards or less. He beat Moss on three reps (including the incomplete pass in the end zone that he almost 1-handed). I'm surprised he fell as far as he did, but there's no need to overstate...

    NFL: **** Official 2023 NFL Draft Thread ****

    At this point, I'm hoping A.T. Perry or X keep hanging around until the Bears can snag one of them. I really like the Tyler Scott pickup in R4 (tailor-made potential replacement if Darnell Mooney walks), and I'd like to see them get a similar potential replacement for Claypool, who I highly...

    I'm not sure you know what "consistently" means.

    I'll believe it when I see it. He'd be a DH in an ideal world. He'll have to do a lot offensively to overcome the glove in a comparison with Rizzo.

    I wouldn't sweat it. I never understood the Levis hype.

    NFL: **** Official 2023 NFL Draft Thread ****

    At least Campbell is a good fit and might actually play to the level of his selection. He was a reach based on where they could have gotten him in R2, but it's a far better pick than taking Gibbs at 12 (zero chance they don't regret that one).

    I was really hoping Will might fall to later in the 2nd round so that the Bears could have a real shot to land him. Good for him getting that 1st round money and landing in a good situation.

    Like I said in a later post, I don't have an issue with trading him in hindsight (though it still hurt for purely sentimental reasons). Getting Kevin Alcántara in that trade looks like it could be a boon (either as he reaches the show for the Cubs or gets moved as the centerpiece of another...

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    It's definitely helped him some, and I'm not even against the trade in hindsight (I'm certainly not mad about getting Alcántara in the deal), but the Cubs could have easily afforded what the Yankees signed him for last offseason, which would have been a serious offensive upgrade at 1B and a...

    Rizzo is a lock as a guy we would happily pay what he's getting in NY. He's still got the glove, and he's hit well in NY from Day 1. Schwarber, in hindsight, they got wrong. But when it was time to make that decision, it looked alright. As for Javy, I'm sure a significant portion of the issue...

    It's a mutual option for $25M in 2024 ($5M buyout if the Cubs decided to cut him loose, but it certainly looks doubtful that they would want to pull that trigger).

    Are you getting enough sleep lately?

    My work hours get weird because of covering high school sports, so at least three nights a week I'm not done working until 10pm or later. I'm usually up until anywhere between midnight and 2am, and set my alarm for 8:30am most weekdays (but that can change, too, as I'll sometimes have an 8/9am...

    They're already getting near the top of the list for worst starts to eventually make the playoffs. I'm sure they'll start playing better eventually, but they might dig themselves too deep for it to matter beyond making life harder for the rest of the division.

    I don't buy Pittsburgh at all, and while I think Milwaukee will end up winning the division, their current record is buoyed by that unsustainable 14-5 start. They're 1-4 since and are now on the verge of being swept by the Tigers at home. Woodruff is on the shelf for the foreseeable future and...

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    I'm pretty firmly in support of keeping Hosmer and DHing Mervis. As reliant as this team will be on their defense, I'd like to keep Hosmer's glove at first base if possible.

    Marvel Cinematic Universe

    I disagree. I think three of them (NWH, BP:WF and Shang-Chi) are good, and the rest are varying degrees of okay. None of them are truly bad, IMO. As for your second point, Gunn was only made head of DC in November. GOTG3 wrapped filming almost a year ago. That's not going to have any meaningful...

    What music are you listening to right now?

    Just checked out the first single from Foo Fighters' upcoming album. "Excited" isn't the word I would use to describe my feelings on the album (Taylor Hawkins is my favorite drummer of all time, and it's just really ****** that he'll never play again), but I'm definitely digging the first teaser.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    This is basically where I’m at. My current vehicle is 11 years old (I’ve had it for nearly 10) and has 170k miles. I’m hoping to get another 2-3 years out of it. I doubt I’ll go electric with my next vehicle, but I hope prices and infrastructure will reach the point that I can make the switch...
