The Cubs are gonna win today.
They’re singing
Go, Cubs, go

and in the end of the day they will still find a way to Cub it up.

Have fun in the cellar.

Heyward, Zobrist, Rizzo, Bryant, Schwarber, Russell all in the same lineup. Soler too, if he doesn't get traded.

Opposing pitchers be like

Schwarber's the danger man. We all know that.

[Tobywan]

Speaking of Schwarber at this very moment he is in Tampa at Joe Maddon's Thanksmas fundraiser event at his restaurant Ava. One of the guests bar tenders with Kiermaier, Archer, Matt Moore and a few other major leaguers.....I think even Gary Sheffield has made an appearance.

Schwarber's the danger man. We all know that.

I will laugh if Schwarber is the one forced out.

But seriously, Soler's good as gone, unless the Cubs plan on playing him in CF and having the shittiest outfield D in left-center.

[Trendy Bastard]

I agree, Soler is probably gone, but I hope they don't force a trade. Arizona dun fucked up the market. I wouldn't have given up Soler for Shelby Miller, let alone Swanson. I don't want to end up with Teheran or something if it means trading Soler.

I know Heyward has limited time in CF, but I don't see anything showing he can't handle it for a while. In fact I've read a few articles suggesting that he'd be a + defender there.

Honestly the best part of this is the sweet Cardinal fans' tears. The reports of him taking less for Chicago is a cherry on top. There's a Twitter page named best fans in baseball that was raging all day.

Steve Cishek signs with the Mariners, 2-year deal, $10 M including bonus requirements.

Phillies acquire RHP Charlie Morton from the Pirates for minor-league RHP David Whitehead.


Astros get Ken Giles and Jonathan Arauz from Phils for Vincent Velasquez, Mark Appel, Thomas Eshelman, Harold Arauz and Brett Oberholtzer. Sources say the Arauzs ar not related.

As long as Schwarber doesn't catch for Lackey, I think everything will be fine (I mean, that would produce like 100 Lackey faces.. actually maybe we need Schwarbs to catch for Lackey).

[Kingdom]

Meanie.

I almost forgot about Lackey reuniting with Lester for more pollo, cerveza, y videojuegos.
