Again, gently caress every last one of you who is even joking that a trump presidency was a "worth it" trade. I just woke up today in a world where I literally have no idea whether I'll be permitted to use public bathrooms, whether my family will be permitted to adopt children, or whether my health insurance will even be required to cover my healthcare anymore. My entire world just turned into a cloud of uncertainty. Please don't perpetuate the intense whiteness of baseball by saying a loving game's championship title is worth Donald Trump as president of the united states.

Illinois was heavily blue and also the only state that ousted a Republican incumbent in the senate (NH pending) so this isn't Chicago's fault.

What if the Cubs just said F it and committed like 50MM/year in payroll to Chapman/Jansen/Melancon and put together a three headed monster to compliment their great offensive core while their pitching staff is still in tact? Would 50 get it done? Or would it be more like 60MM? I mean honestly, they have the money, not sure what the precedent is for length on RP contracts, but would 4 years per do the trick? Then even as their pitching staff gets more questionable in the next couple years, they still have a dynamite offense and a ridiculous bullpen, the Royals won with less.... I think it would be pretty funny to see the Cubs just go Yankees style now that they have such a good core and some money to spend. Screw it, throw Holland in there too.

If it gives you any solace, one of my aunts is what I hate about cardinals fans (arrogant blowhards who cannot fathom being happy for any other team because the cards have rings). She and I don't see eye to eye on sports teams, but she and I agree that Trump needs to gently caress off, and we're both distraught that he won. So, Back to the Future is the new reality, right? Cubs win the WS and Biff is the leader of the free world.

MLB will destroy the Indians World Series gear instead of donating it to overseas charities. MLB says it is being done so the merchandise does not end up being sold.

Please don't perpetuate the intense whiteness of baseball by saying a loving game's championship title is worth Donald Trump as president of the united states. Just for clarification, I'm not saying "worth it," I'm saying the Cubs win was the sign of the impending apocalypse (hence the suicide/death of all life on Earth implication.) Believe me, I'm ideologically aligned with you more than you know.

I'm assuming many of the younger, non-white, non-Southern MLB players are more liberally inclined. I don't get too surprised when I learn a Texan supports Trump.

I think they should absolutely pursue as much talent as possible (because why would you build a championship-winning team and then let it languish?) It'd be great to have Jansen and Chapman (all three of those guys are probably unnecessary) but it sounds like they aren't going to spend big on a closer.

It's just extremely unfunny to me, as a queer person, to see people making jokes about trading a Donald Trump win for their team to have a world series victory. If you mean to imply that I'm literally dumb and so god drat crazy that I think baseball actually affects elections, you're being a disingenuous dick. But when you literally have people in here going "I would have accepted this for an Astros win" or "it was worth it to see the cubbies win", yes stop that loving poo poo. It's not funny. It's not a joke. This poo poo loving happened and now a lot of people are going to have their lives altered in ways that your average baseball fan cannot possibly relate to.

Champaign-Urbana is pretty liberal, given our location and the general attitudes in the surrounding area. Urbana definitely more than Champaign, though, but we're still pretty cool here. Also Peoria, sort of, but Peoria sucks so gently caress them.
