I disagree with almost all of these baseball opinions, especially the idea that the Cubs had essentially the same offseason as a team that gave a decent-hitting center fielder $70 million guaranteed to play first base where his value is the lowest on the diamond.

Why am I reading this article?

Something to do between bong hits?

Why does it matter that the Cubs won in 10 innings?

It gives them a goal for this year: win the World Series without going to extra innings in Game 7.

Hell, shoot for the moon and win it in 6 games!

Jon Heyman won't be impressed until the Cubs win it in three.

I think that would depress Oleg. "Damn, Jon Heyman has much better shit than what I've got."

Hey Stew, get a load of this dimwit San Diego Law grad who apparently skipped Civ Pro, Con Law, Torts, really all the classes, honestly. Do they just let anyone with a pulse into law school these days? Kids, am I right? What's this profession coming to? Etc., etc.

If the University of San Diego Law School gave her a law degree it deserves to be sued for fraud.

I looked her up on the State Bar website.  She hasn't passed the Bar exam.

She should run for governor. She and Villaraigosa can compare notes on flunking the bar exam.

Plenty of people are bashing it on twitter but god what disingenuous crap: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/columnists/ct-royals-cautionary-tale-cubs-sullivan-spt-0426-20170425-column.html

Let's ignore the simple fact that Sullivan can't find ANYTHING to write about a title-defending team off to a 97 win start and had to go digging for a weak parallel with a negative slant, this entire article acts like money is not a thing that exists and makes a massive difference between perpetual contenders and teams in cycles. The Cubs won't be the Royals because they can pay to supplement their core whenever they need to, the Royals can't. The better comp for KC is the Pirates, a team that had Jake Arrieta shit all over their window and might now wait years for it to come again. The Cubs comp is, I dunno, the other team built by Theo Epstein and backed by massive wads of fat cash that's won 3 titles in a decade and contends almost every year?
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

The Royals were 7 and 12 when Sullivan wrote that article.  Not very good, but outstanding when compared with the  zero for 21 1988 Orioles.

Nice links.

Anyway, did MLB.com let him go?

Sort of why the Cubs never signed me. I am bad at hitting, running, fielding, throwing, and pitching. Phil is reportedly bad at writing, reporting, and analysis.
