As a life long @Cubs fan I’m starting to believe that letting Kyle Schwarber go, the year before the DH was introduced in the NL, was dumber and worse than Brock for Broglio or the Maddox mistake…thoughts?

@huskerinfowars @MLJK87 @ReapthewhirlSL @midwestern_ope Yes, keep shitting on the Driftless Area. It's awful and no one should ever visit

You have a month long vacation in the Midwest this summer. You can’t leave the zone you pick. Where are you going?

@Gamerkisadsh11 @CubsWorld80 @RonS_Cubs @JesseRogersESPN I don't know that there is a world where he's a useful piece for any season
English
@CubsWorld80 @RonS_Cubs @JesseRogersESPN I mean he was supposed to be back already originally so might as well let him pitch some games so he’s not as rusty starting 2027
English
🚨 UPDATE: According to @JesseRogersESPN , Justin Steele will begin throwing Monday. He also said it would be a ‘victory’ if Steele is back by August 1st

@WatchMarquee @EliseMenaker Not during the game, not during the pennant race. Take notes team killing bleacher wedding of 2023

The Americans there proudly singing the National Anthem are likely more libs and left wingers than conservatives or hard-core MAGAs since conservative Americans usually don't watch soccer. The idea that patriotism is a right wing ideology is bullshit.

The loudest I’ve ever heard the National Anthem

@CubsSkipper Body composition is the biggest difference for the fall. He put on 10 lbs

If you think PCA will just slump in Aug/Sept like he did last year, you haven’t been paying attention. The walk rate, plate discipline, swing decisions are so different. I’m sure he’ll have mini slumps.. but not like that.
Might be looking at a 30/30, .800+ ops FLOOR player 😉

@LUFC1992_v2 You've driven through my family's farm. Hope you're enjoying the US

They built it and we came!
It’s the actual FIELD OF DREAMS 🤩

@B_DiNucci6 Did you have much fear of losing that job? I remember talking to a friend who was a udfa and having zero desire to trade jobs with him

Idk man to me that was pretty dang rich
Getting to play football for a living and getting 12k a week before taxes ?!
Couple years later I’m still living off of p squad money
Rent my rookie year in Dallas was $1800 a month .. you do the math
This is why financial literacy classes / seminars need to be held for college / professional athletes
No one prepares you for that type of income that fast - guys expect to make that for the next 10 years and it’s a rude wake up call when those checks stop coming in !!

Dolphins CB Darrell Baker Jr. reveals he would make only $5,500 per week on an NFL practice squad: 'Everybody thinks we're rich...' 💰🏈

@extrainnnings @CookedByJaguar Probably the cumulative babip damage he has done to other players. Needs to sacrifice a few low leverage balls back to the gods

@CookedByJaguar his babip is .239!!! why have the babip gods cursed him!!!

@DOM_Frederic That's my damn 2nd baseman. Or 3rd, I don't care which

@Enerceptt @MLB Because BMI Burls is 40% of the WAR and 5% of the entertainment

There's no universe where Matt Campbell isn't top 6 at minimum here. To not recognize why is to not understand how CFB works.

@Moneyline_RAY @wilnerhotline @NBCSports @nbc @uscfb Can only play week 0 if one of the teams is playing a game in Hawaii that season. No power conference teams qualify this year other than Stanford who is hosting Hawaii
English
@wilnerhotline I blame @NBCSports @nbc overpaying notre dame for
gaming to cupcake their schedule too much screwing L.A. & @uscfb
Even w/ usc having a hard schedule
Could've had a wk 0 classic
Now that they dont have to cater to indiana anymore usc can schedule some great games again sept
English
The Big Ten’s non-conference schedule is a huge problem for its TV parters example #137
Bryan Fischer@BryanDFischer
Fox says they're sending Big Noon Kickoff to London on Sept. 19 for Arizona State-Kansas. This is notably the week of LSU at Ole Miss. ASU-Kansas is the noon game on FS1 (Kent State at Ohio State is on FOX).

@laffey31 @cowlonfull i can't think of a sports rivalry in america that gets violent enough to make that necessary here. away fans def get hassled at citizens bank park and the linc but actual violence is really really rare at the stadiums themselves.
English
Even as a British stadium respecter, block seating is probably the thing about their stadiums that my mind can’t comprehend the most. Even more than not being able to drink in your seats. A pregame lap around the stadium is incredibly important to me
GFed@GfedGoCrazy
This stadium has block seating. Even with a ticket you can’t walk to the other side of your own stadium. How do yall even know what you’re talking about?😂

@straightupnail @UnpolishedSaint @Harriwxu3 Yeah at face value it's a waterskiing wipeout. It's just everything else about it that's dangerous

@UnpolishedSaint @Harriwxu3 It’s like you be never heard of waterskiing, wakeboarding, wakesurfing…

@bigboyhitch @CubsWorld80 Nico can't take a concussion break because our other middle infielder can't hit his weight

Guys I’d rather NEVER see out in a Cubs uniform again:
Edward Cabrera
Alex Bregman
Dansby Swanson
Phil Maton
Jameson Taillon
Craig Counsell
Seiya Suzuki
Ian Happ
Did I miss any other losers?

Remind me why a Gold Glove finalist that hits doesn’t play every day.
