Desipio Message Board

That series was absolutely fantastic. Thank you, Nationals.

Joe Maddon

You seem to be grading this movie based on the assumption that Tarantino was tasked with creating a shot-for-shot documentary of what actually happened. What do you find offensive about his alteration to real events, exactly? Some in reviewing the film have said they found some dark pleasure in watching the Manson Family get some brutal justice come to them. Is it the concept you disliked, the execution, or both? Changing history is kind of his thing, as you acknowledge, so if you don?t like that, you?re not going to like anything he does anyway. I?m hardly a Tarantino stan but if your main beef is that the murders didn?t happen that way and you?re going to confuse people who don?t know that, well, yeah, that?s kind of the point.

Oh my god I agree with parts of a CFiHP post. This truly is the darkest timeline. Nice choice Theo!

Bryant needed tonight to have an outside shot at 30 HR (he should be hitting 35-40).  Rizzo is regressing (not much, but it's still noticeable).  Schwarber remains an AL platoon DH. 

Bryant was on his way to 35-40 HR before he started having knee problems. Rizzo's "regressing" to the tune of 286/400/511, his highest OPS since 2016. And Schwarber's perfectly fine as a LF - if he were in the AL he'd still be wearing a glove.

Engaging in this idiocy is pure folly.  There is a lot to criticize this team over...Bryant, Rizzo, and Schwarber about the bottom 3 on that list.

Also, the bare cupboard just graduated another 1st round pick to the majors.

Also, someone remind which number is bigger: Cubs World Series championships since Theo took over or number of WS championships combined for the Yankees, Dodgers, and Astros.

Outside shot at 30, lol.  31 and counting.

Until Javy gets back, Addison Russell should not even get near shortstop again unless Nico says okay.  Leave.  Him.  There.

The "graduated first round pick" is Nico Hoerner, who had an impressive three hit first game.  Of course, unless your name is Adam Greenberg, one game does not make a career.  The Cubs are barely clinging to the possibility of post season play.  Don't worry, I am not going to say that "anything can happen in a short series".  Oh, wait, I just said that, didn't I?

This is a Stanford thing, is it not. Admit it, Stew!!

Here is my dream 2020 lineup.  I will not be taking questions.

1. 2B Lindor
2. RF Bryant
3. 1B Rizzo
4. 3B Rendon
5. LF Castellanos
6. SS Baez
7. C Contreras
8. CF Hoerner/Heyward
9. Pitcher

Anybody else watch this? It's HBO's new series, written and developed by Danny McBride. McBride's character, predictably, is Kenny Powers as a televangelist. But John Goodman as the family patriarch (He's ruthless as fuck), and Adam Devine as the younger brother look like they can become really compelling characters.

Sorry, Gil - it's no EV3NT, that's for sure.

It's Another Danny McBride Joint, for better or worse.  If you liked his previous stuff, you'll probably like this too.  If you hate the rest of his stuff, stay away.  I'm liking this show a lot, and Goodman has been great.  Walton Goggins arrives next episode and I can't wait.

In case you were wondering, which you weren't, Mat yoo Troo blud still sucks.

Jorge Soler and Gleyber Torres are going to combine for roughly 80 HR this year. Cubs got 1.5 years of veteran closers for them, plus a draft pick, less other players they gave up in Torres deal, are likely to miss playoffs for a second straight year due to insufficient offense.

Can they deport this fucking guy?

Only if they send Theo with him. This is a signing that costs jobs.

Costs so many jobs

All. The. Fucking. Jobs.

More people losing their jobs because of an immigrant.

Yu also killed Steve Jobs

I am more than fine with launching Schwarber or Almora to make room for Nicky 'Nos. Send Schwarber to the Royals so Gordon Wittenmyer can get off on Schwarbs/Soler nightly back-to-back dong highlights.

Fueled by Mike Montgomery shutouts?

Damn straight, because THE PLAN SUCKS!

(Also why does this shit-for-brains messageboard keep screwing up my apostrophes and making them question marks?  Oh well.)

He needs to go away, now.

He's been optioned to Iowa, and I'd be shocked if you ever see him in a Cubs uniform again.

I'm cool with that.

He's hitting like an everyday player, and he's decent in the field. Yet the rotting corpse of David Descalso keeps getting trotted out there. Stick him at 2B every day, profit.

But then where would Addison Russell get his precious at bats that Joe keeps insisting that he be given for no apparent reason?
