The Yankees seem to understand eating my ass.
This is the first thing to make me smile since hearing this news. Thanks, Slaw.

I live to serve.
I would be lying if I said that I wasn't aiming to make you smile with that, Butch. We're all going to need to find some of that old SOI spirit if we're going to make it through this next phase of the Cubs, so let's roll out that blue language, boyz. That's right; I spelled "boys" with a goddman "z."

I hope this Alcantara doesn't suck like the others.

After the Rizzo trade, Bailey Horn's stay on the MLB.com Cubs' Top 30 Prospects list will be short lived.

Well, May and first part of June were a nice 6 weeks of Cubs baseball. Could be a long time till Cubs consistently win for a month

Seeing how the fucking Dodgers just keep finding ways to keep that machine refueled and running just makes all of this so much more frustrating and painful. I cant believe this is where were at.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Didn’t believe that Cubs would trade Rizzo. Agree that team’s offense has to be retooled but the process just sucks

Interesting comment from the Athletic’s Mooney,“ it’s time to move on because the Cubs don’t really know what they are anymore ”
They are not acting as a big budgeted, big market team nor a Rays/A’s small market, find and develop centric squad. Yes, there are other options but I’m doubtful that Cubs will be significant players in free agency during off-season so back to bargain bin attempts to find starters and a few retreads position player signings.
Awaiting getting an email from Cubs regarding required deposits for 2021 playoff tickets. Believe I’ll take my chances and hold off on that snowball chance in hell “opportunity”

Yes, no thank you. We have enough hillbillies on this squad.

Pretty solid return. Is Heuer projected as just a RP though?
