Cubs treatment of Rizzo is disturbing but it seems in line with everything else they are doing meaning I have no idea what their plan is. I am losing interest fast.

Love the Josef Stalin reference.

Don't heckle people from the stands! Where did you learn such behavior? ("Calipari is a scumbag!")

Just had the epiphany that that's where it all began

Yeah the Sox were in the dumps for a little but we always kept the hope knowing our farm system had incredible potential. Kinda like how Cubs fans were saying that in 2010-2013. I also remember seeing Cubs fans lose their mind over trading darvish and letting schwarber go. Our loyalty to our players cannot be matched by any another city/fan base

That said there are obviously high expectations this year and a lot of questions. Who is going to be consistent dh who will replace eloy. I think the biggest question is pitching and only time will tell. I like what you said about not making judgements after one game cause that’s all we do. Patience is a virtue. Let’s have a long healthy season

Disappointed with the bulls but going back to my past statement it’s early to tell. there are a lot of new additions. It is difficult to gauge where we are at when these guys have played 3 games together. I am a little worried though with half the season being done. Tough schedule ahead and I’m going to need a prayer to God out of you for some defense.

If you have brand new players without three other players and you're playing the best teams in the league, things aren't going to be pretty at the start. With the Bulls, everybody's gotta relax a bit.

A few notes. TBH Baseball really snuck up on us this year and I'm not fully ready for it (as I'm working in front of my TV and haven't responded to an email today).

The Rizzo scenario is so, so bizarre to me. Why would anyone want to come to the Cubs when this is the perception of how they treat their players- in this a player who turned their franchise around and should have his number retired.

Starting to get worried about the Bulls after I was doing cartwheels around my apartment post trade deadline. Tough games ahead as well.

I don't think I can physically sit through a Nagy/Pace presser.
