    Are Free Throws really that hard to make?

    I don’t know that I’d shoot 5/10 from the line in a crazy atmosphere. I do know I wouldn’t miss the rim by 2 feet in the craziest of environments.

    Corbin Burnes is out of the NL Central. Initially reports that the Orioles really aren’t giving up that much

    Stop underutilizing Ward

    In PS5 terms, Wards R2 button is stuck in the down position and he needs a sub so he can continue being effective when he’s in. Only the real ones know what I mean.

    Damn. I must’ve finished second in my bid. Seems like a really smart time to sell that franchise

    This is where I hope our FO can get creative. Matt Chapman for 6 years, $130 MM ($21.5 AAV) with a player option after years 2 and 4, club option after year 3. If he lights it up after two years, he can leave. If not, you have given Shaw 2 years to prove if he's an answer for 3B or if you need...

    Curtis Jones

    All our guards are schedule to be back next year, which is very exciting. Feels like it's been awhile since that's happened. Losing BRE and Hasan will suck...didn't see myself saying that in October.

    Curtis Jones

    I had heard it was good, but his on-ball defending is truly elite. It's not stuffing the stat sheet, but he and Tamin are both fun to watch when pressuring the ball handler.

    Who is the Jim Carey dude?

    I actually know this guy in real life. A few tidbits about him. - Got his start in a weird kidnapping scheme while chasing a crush; ended up making loads of money but lost his crush. Unbeknownst to him, she was married. - Invested this money into something like a law firm but for animals. He...

    Bob Nightengale is reporting Bellinger and JD Martinez have not received a single formal offer this winter, while the only formal offer Snell received was for 6 years, $150 MM and turned down because he expects 9 years, $270 MM. I get Boras is trying to maximize his players earnings, and I...

    Cubs have to open a spot on their 40 man to add Neris. My guess is Rucker is DFA'd. My preference is we make a trade to open up that spot but if you had one planned, you'd think they would've tried getting that done first.

    Hector Nerris to the Cubs. $9 MM. Thought we’d be trading for a RP, but I’ll take it!

    Vince McMahon accused of sex trafficking

    I enjoy dabbling in WWE but I would guess the industry, especially in the 80s and 90s, is riddled with this stuff, Vince was just the head of the snake. I can only hope it no longer exists in WWE.

    I think if you don't get Bellinger or Chapman or trade for an impact bat, this can be chalked up as a failed offseason no matter what happens in-season. That being said, my guess is if we miss out on Bellinger and Chapman, the Cubs pivot to a direction of making sure all our MLB-ready prospects...

    I hope so. Caissie and Alcantara will likely be ready by 2025 so this seems to be the year for Davis to show if he can be a contributor or if he needs to rebuild himself elsewhere. I'm rooting for him to pull it off. Speculation is that his injuries have stemmed off each other (I believe it was...

    Seems like Cubs and Mariners are destined to make a trade. Per Jim Bowden, Mariners are looking to trade from within their rotation to add bats. 2B and 3B are their weakest spots. I'm not sure what level of game-changing talent you'd be able to acquire. Logan Gilbert or George Kirby would be...

    12 days since Hoyer said we’re still in the 4th or 5th inning of the offseason 16 days since Nightengale said we’d be the most agggressive team to end the offseason. I have zero issue with not getting Hoskins, I didn’t love the idea. But this team is objectively worse than 2023, and we’re 20...

    I feel bad for 111s experience as it sounds like the dude was a douche. FWIW, I’m not about revealing identities on these things, we have screen names for a reason. With that, unless there are multiple personalities who post under Cap Timm, I know who Cap Timm identifies as in real life, and...
