QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 10:44 PM) Watching these NL games, I really wonder if the White Sox would win 90+. Dodgers are choking. Complete mental breakdown Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Wait...you're serious?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 07:44 PM) Matt Barkley I think. I think he means if Barkley goes down.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 08:32 PM) Wonder who the emergency quarterback is?

I didn't like the deal when they signed it, but Lester = money well spent.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 06:24 PM) My uncle has one. They are ridiculous. I wasn't driving, but the acceleration was intoxicating. I can't even imagine what it would be like to open that thing up on a highway.

Got to ride in a colleague's Challenger SRT Hellcat. 707 HP of insanity.

10 years in the postseason is NOT better than 1 WS. The best you can do is make the playoffs every year and play your best in the postseason. It's a lot of luck, so it's not out of the realm of possibilities the Cubs still don't win the World Series under Theo.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 15, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) Yeah I heard Lebatard inadvertently mention the Mike & Mike changes. I guess they are hoping to pull from some of their depth to help some of their other programming? I will be interested to see what they do with Golic. I'd be interested if they replaced Greenie with Bomani Jones or Russillo. I feel like Kanell is just weighing RR down. If anyone, I would think Adnan Virk if only because he's like a poor man's Mike Greenberg

I still can't believe he's there after he killed that camera kid.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 04:01 PM) Maybe Derrick's a better shooter than we thought? BAM! NAILED IT. Winner! And don't worry, Derrick is so dumb he'll say too much at an interview and he will face a murder charge.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 01:11 AM) Do they do that a lot in the NL? That is walk the bases loaded to make the other manager pinch hit for a stud pitcher? I thought that was a silly move and BOOM BAM, grand slam. I watch AL not NL. Is that pretty common what the Dodgers did? NL baseball is just kind of stupid.

The post of the year is "Cleveland won the NBA championship, so the Cubs or Indians will win the World Series." I would expect nothing less.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 15, 2016 -> 10:53 PM) Indians/Cubs was predictable as soon as the Cavs won. History has a way of creating these of just these sorts of match-ups. Hopefully it comes down to Miller vs. Chapman. The best reliever will win out over the hardest thrower. No it doesn't and this series is far from over.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Oct 15, 2016 -> 10:37 PM) Stop the act, you've been exposed by chw42. It's absolutely pathetic you keep coming back here. Go celebrate with your brethren on Northsidebaseball.com. I've been exposed as what? Someone who likes the Cubs? In a Cubs thread?

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 15, 2016 -> 10:36 PM) HAHAHAHA Except you're actually crying because you lack the fortitude to take the light hearted rubbing your Cub fan friends are going to give you. Because your fandom is so fickle, the success of a different team in a different league upsets you.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 15, 2016 -> 10:33 PM) I will never understand why a Cubs fan would want to post on a Sox board during a postseason game. There has to be 100 Cubs boards that would love to discuss the game with you. I have no love for the Cubs, but I have admiration for the way they run their organization. I hope if they win the Sox will figure themselves out.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Oct 15, 2016 -> 10:31 PM) Try to contain your excitement.

Hahahahahaha!!!!!!

I can't see any good reason to split up Mike and Mike. I like them together but I get annoyed when one or the other is out

So many penalties.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 14, 2016 -> 08:42 PM) Can the Hawks franchise cornerstone with a history of concussions please not start fights? Thanks. I tend to not believe in hockey fighting because statistics don't really bear out that they are effective, but if one must fight, it probably shouldn't be a valuable player like Toews. Especially because it's Toews; he's not exactly a notable fighter.

PK in the central blows. Nashville looks good.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Oct 13, 2016 -> 12:12 PM) Unless Arrieta gives a discount he's going to be paid in the $30M per year range in free agency. That would mean in 2018 they would have roughly $86M tied up in just Heyward, Lester and Arrieta. That is a hell of a lot of money for any team to have committed to just three players. That's so crazy, but completely accurate. Not a good investment for any team, even the rich Cubs.

He's back October 24th. The official press release refers to treatment for and undisclosed health issue. Sounds like the big C to me.
