Ricketts Wallet Wish List 1. Sign Ohtani 2. Re-sign Bellinger 3. At least attempt to construct an MLB caliber rotation 4. Pick up Kyle Hendricks team option 5. Pick up Yan Gomes team option 6. Do not sign any crusty veterans that the entire baseball world knows are washed

The Padres are locking Preller and Melvin in a room together tomorrow to make them work it out (but hopefully they just fire both).

i am glad i did not watch today's meaningless cubs game because they apparently had Ricketts in the booth for an entire inning and I would have gotten very mad.

Poque posted:Good. Yeah I sure am looking forward to yet another year of young rookies with upside riding the pine so loving losers like Eric Hosmer and Drew Smyly can take reps away from them! fake e. the pen being absolutely toast contributed heavily to the September collapse, meanwhile Hoyer called up Luke Little on the 6th, and in the 26 days he was up with the Cubs Ross had him throw 6.2 IP. 2.2 of which were the last two days after the season basically didn't matter. In that time he gave up no runs and struck out 12, but hey why actually use the young fireballing lefty your FO just handed you with the pen short when you could instead run Cuas out 923450297853208940923840923 times and give saves to the corpse of a splitter-less Mark Leiter Jr.? Can't wait for Mervis slashing .500/.800/.2000 for a full year in Iowa next year while the Cubs give all their 1B starts to Patrick Wisdom and some dogshit veteran who's so old and washed they need to Weekend at Bernie's his mummified body up to the batters box.

In time I will miss my barely above 500 team during a long cold winter of listening to people scream about firing everyone and trading everyone for a bag of balls and why didn’t they just trade for the best players in baseball easy peasy? But today I feel some comfort I don’t have a game to watch tomorrow.

Unfortunately for Cubs fans it’s an election year, and the Ricketts need to take the money for Bellinger and put it into a Trump PAC

Our season being bookended by a 4-0 victory over the Brewers in our only March game and an 0-4 loss to the Brewers in our only October game feels appropriate

Reposting with new installment:mdemone posted:And with that, I present the first installment: mdemone posted:Part 2: His Disciples Part 3 - The Superstar There are very few non-fictional players in baseball history who are 1) first-ballot Hall of Fame guys, just generationally talented players, but also 2) have really cool location-based nicknames like "The Heater from Van Meter" or "The Millville Meteor" or "The Commerce Comet". Mike Trout is the least interesting of the top 10 all-around ballplayers in history. When you lead the major leagues in OPS+ for five straight years, which puts you on a list with Bonds and nobody else, not even Ruth, and you can go to the movies in any major city without being recognized. When you lead the majors in offensive WAR seven out of your first eight years in the league, and when you're an eight-time All-Star at the age of 27, but you stay late after every game to sign every kid's baseball cap, and you get to BP early the next day to sign every kid's poster, and then they pay you 400 million dollars to keep doing that for the next 12 years, in the city that is presumably the Happiest Place on Earth. When your team signs an All-Star third baseman to shore up the infield and the top of the order, and an actual global airborne plague happens, and you are never the same player again. And in the same time and place where the Adversary and the Context would come to reckon, you break your hand on July 4 2023, and again you are never the same. All greatness must come to an end, else we would all be angels, one-legged and faceless, seething with endless, hopeless praise. Coming soon: Part 4 - The Context
