It's a good thing a certain ass-eating former Cub charges a C-note.

Probably bad, because at Morandini prices some hockeyblogger would have been getting a greeting.

If you wondered how much it would cost to get Corey Patterson to tell Chuck "FYC," its $45.

Jim Frey, 88. RIP.

My 2019 picks didn't work out.


1. Don Henley   (72 on July 22)
2. David Haugh (51 on May 22)
3. Dustin Hoffman (82 on August 8)
4. David Hasselhoff (67 on July 17)
5. Dean Heller (59 on May 10)
6. Daryl Hannah (59 on Dec. 3)
7. Devin Hester (37 on Nov. 4)
8.  Dennis Haysbert (65 on June 2)
9.  Dennis Hastert (77 on January 2)
10. Edgar Martinez (56 on Jan. 2)

You had a nice run.

I'm on vacation with my son and have had a ton of windshield time. Fork sent me a note to tell me. Horrible. I read the obit and didn't read to the end... until later. I made a remark that he was too young, but now I feel even worse. He was a good man, but no man, good or not deserves to feel the depths of despair and depression.

Last night, I read some more, and I believe he died on the 11th anniversary of his father's death, and only a couple weeks before his son married. His love of family was clearly evident, so it's just a horrible, shitty situation.

I love all you morans, and we should come back here more. Twitter is a nasty locale.

I have nothing to add

Fitting that Lucroy joins the Cubs as a direct result of an injury.

I came here just to bump the gutless fucking assholes thread but I couldn't find it.

And instead you apparently killed Desipio once and for all.

Nah.  As long as we have the Deadpool to announce that someone other than us has kicked off Desipio will survive.

Yes, but our picks for the year were apparently all for naught.

Chet Coppock.

The idea that on a staff that boasted Rick Reuschel (obese), Dick Ruthven (artery problems), Dennis Eckersley (alcoholism), Steve Trout (heaven knows what), and Rick Sutcliffe (Mark Grace's secondhand smoke) that Scott Sanderson would go first is an upset.

Scott Sanderson, 62.

Neat.

(Ian Happ wouldn't hit 43 HRs at Simulated Myrtle Beach, let alone the big club.)

I agree.

Cubs made the playoffs for the 5th straight year, and drew San Diego.

Despite Bryant OPS-ing 1.945 with 5 HR, the Padres beat the Cubs in 5.



Besides Bryant, the Cubs bats went 2018 in Game 5.



San Diego won the pennant and lost to the Red Sox in 7.

If you're curious about AL action, I can get into it further, but I thought some of you would like to check in on the rebuilding effort on the South Side.

Well, Eloy struggled with AL pitching, even though he had his moments. The rest of the team, was 1962 Mets/2018 Orioles/2003 Tigers bad.



Oleg's twin got fired before Labor Day. (Replaced by John Farrell).



And Rick Hahn was let go at the end of the season.



(By the way, somewhere the AI extended Maddon to 2022).
