How does one make sure the whole damn thing doesn’t go up?

It would also be nice if more GMs would focus on making a real TEAM. Like, maybe have more good players than a QB.

I think it’s faulty logic to assume that a shortage of rooms would prevent the industry from aggressively protecting their product.

When will the “coverage outside of the city” perk start?

I strongly disagree with your assertion that most vegans are “ the majority of its adherents are as relatively normal as anyone else.”

Of all the vegans I’ve met ( or even heard of, for that matter ), I’ve only known ONE that wasn’t a psychopath. And even he doesn’t like to talk about veganism or TO other vegans…

You’re probably joking but dude’s drawn a lot of Blake comps through college.

Anyone who watched the 2014 Bears knows that Trestman lost the team way WAY before the final game.

Honestly, that team played without effort or interest from Game 1.

Bryant, Soler, and Russell all played their first season this year. Schwarber played a partial season. Baez only played a month, really. So citing these guys as immense talents is probably intellectually dishonest on sample size alone.

A LOT of players on the Rays and also the players on the Cubs I just mentioned came…

This is 100% truth.
And I hadn’t really thought of it before either, but really there are a lot of examples of good but not good ENOUGH GQs, and they are just reviled.

Corcoran boots.

glaring omission.

No one gives a shit about the White Sox drought because it began with the Black Sox scandal. They cheated, and they cheated to lose. No one feels sorry for a losing team when they started losing on purpose.

Also, Jerry Reinsdorf is a huge piece of shit.

And that 10K is just the tip of the iceberg. The watch made with Rafa Nadal branding is 750,000 iirc.

I don’t need you to tell me how fucking good my coffee is, okay? I’m the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys SHIT. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it. But you know what’s on my mind right now? It AIN’T the coffee in my kitchen.

I believe replies count as well.

With the defending MVP up to bat after the second HBP, no less.

My understanding is that, on top of his $7 million signing bonus from the draft, he comes from a wealthy background and has no interest in risking losing some money on “security.”

The Cubs signed Castro and Rizzo to long term deals. They offered Shark 85-90 million, which he turned down. They gave Soler $30 million as…

ALL good points.

My question is - the Cubs lost 65 games. Why are the 3 they lost on the first 8 games of the season the only ones that cost them?

It’s embarrassing for Deadspin that this was published.

Bryant’s agent is Boras.
Boras is notorious for discouraging his clients from signing long term deals.

The universe DID owe you, but that debt has been paid.
