5. Pick up Yan Gomes team option

I don't think we have to worry about this one. SUPER easy pickup for the Cubs at $6 million.

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

This is true for literally every MLB owner, so it evens out

There were only two Cubs who started in both game 1 and game 162: Patrick Wisdom and Miles Mastrobuoni.

I really wish the Knuckleball documentary was available for streaming.

It covers RA Dickey and Tim Wakefield and is just phenomenal. Wanted to show my wife the other day and found it's literally unavailable to stream.

I watched it on Netflix, so I guess it must've been taken down since then.

I just wanted to thank baseball for being the source of so many cherished memories with my father. Take your kids to games, play home run derby in the back yard, or even just talk baseball with them. They'll have a lifetime of treasured memories to draw from, even after you're gone.

Sorry to hear Kevlar, glad that you have those memories though.

My dad, Poque, and I all had seats behind home plate at Wrigley on Father's Day 2016, when Wilson Contreras hit the first MLB pitch he ever saw into the bleachers. :unsmith:

Full game? None of the archive or mlb.tv links seem to want to work for me either right now. If you just want to watch the condensed game, you can just find it on the scores page or the team's schedule and click the Wrap link and there will be a Condensed Game button.

I've watched condensed 2016 game 7 so many times and it still makes me anxious as hell, even though I know what happens.

Padres better take Taillon's contract off the Cubs' hands if the Cubs are gonna be eating the vast majority of Soto's deal.

I’m feeling pretty lousy but I just felt a lot better randomly remembering that John Rocker once went on Survivor, his his identity by saying he was John Wetteland, was quickly called out as a bigot and threatened to hurt people, somehow blamed Obama for him getting voted out or something, and then his girlfriend quit after she was caught stealing food and said it was because people judge her for being hot.

That gave me a laugh.

Jeff Kent was the one who blamed Obama after he got eliminated from Survivor.
