lakerevolution wrote:CHICAGO -- Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer says his "greatest source of frustration" was the team's inability to sign any of their stars to long-term contracts before trading them last Friday.
Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant and Javier Baez were the talk of the baseball world last week as all three were moved within a span of 24 hours before MLB's trade deadline. After years of conversations with the trio -- attempting to sign them to long-term contracts -- Hoyer finally gave up and moved on.

I'll be at the ballpark Sunday to watch what promises to be an epic weekend showdown between the two best teams in baseball! Can't wait!

It is ashame that the Dodgers and Giants are in the same division. They would play in the NLDS because of a 1 vs 4 matchup. That should be the NLCS.

In most eyes it is. The Brewers just came into town and drank all the lil SF beer dry . As in SWEEP. The Giants are flaming out, but they are also not at full strength like we are now.
Meanwhile the Boys in Blue have finally started to gel and get loose - our run differential is off the charts. NL West might have two 100 game winners in the same division for the first time since, well, ask Elias

Giants crushed the Brewers today so the Giants and Dodgers are both tied at 1st in the NL West at 85-49. Avoiding that WildCard game is critical, that 1 game elimination can be dicey. I work Friday night until 530am but after that I am off Saturday, Sunday, and Monday night. Don't go back into work until 10pm Tuesday night. So I am off from 530am Saturday to 10pm Tuesday night and all I am going to do is kick back and watch the Dodgers at Giants + a ton of great college football games are on. #5 Georgia at #3 Clemson will be a doozy! That is on Saturday night on ABC. Dodgers at Giants is on ESPN Sunday night.
Most people will be cooking out, I am going to go to BW3's and order me 50 Hot Barbecue Wings to go on Saturday - I can eat on that for 2 or 3 days, buy me a case of strong beer, and a Pint of Crown to do a shot or 2. I can't wait.

That sounds like a fantastic weekend. I'll be with a group of ten or so acquaintances way up in the rafters just foul of the left field pole, though chances are we'll be fervently sashaying (Ken and Lew reference) around the ballpark between bars and innings. The atmosphere is going to be electric. I wish it was Scherzer goinng, but it's even better -- possible Cy Young candidate Walker Buehler will be slanging the ol' seam-ball on Sunday. I'm calling it right now: shutout, possible no-hitter. We're after all the marbles.

The dude was baad, and I say that never having really liked or given the Yanks appreciation as a whole throughout the decades. "Jeeets" will join the Pantheon of Yankees who have won multiple titles, and he's certainly welcome company. That's all I got.
