A co-worker of mine's son works in the same company as Bartman. Apparently he works from home and gets groceries delivered because he STILL gets harassed horrendously to this day. Hopefully that changes, because Jesus Christ the 2003 Cubs lost for so many bigger reasons than Bartman.

Yeah at the risk of being the "think of the ratings!" guy, think of the ratings! This game 7 is the best commercial for baseball that baseball could air.

[And if whatever garbage Thursday Night matchup the NFL has on tomorrow draws a bigger viewership than this game 7 then its time to write off democracy as a failed experiment and strip America/Americans of all right to self-determination on grounds of us all being too stupid to be trusted with any choice]

I hope he gets sent first class to the victory parade but does not get mentioned or featured in any way. Just send him out to Chicago, maybe make sure he's not recognized in some way and just let him anonymously soak it all in.

Edit: Early ratings have Game 7 at a 25.2 rating - basically 1 out of every 4 TVs in America were tuned to FOX for the game.

So, since they can give them to anyone they want, which old Cubs are sure to get World Series rings?

Obviously Billy Williams and Ryne Sandberg will be getting them. Probably Kerry Wood. Anyone else?

Going 11-2 when you score any runs at all in the postseason is a pretty good record

If you extend it out to the NLDS their run differenial was +38 (68-30) in their 11 wins and -20 (7-27) runs in their 6 losses, they were absolutely a feast or famine team

I hope Vogelbach hits a ton of dingers for Seattle but you were one beefy lad too many and you were sacrificed so we could have the guy who closed out the World Series

No matter what happens after this the Cubs got value out of that trade

Virigoth posted:

Hendricks is under team control until 2020 and isn't even arb eligible until 2018 but I could absolutely see a pay raise for him

The only Cubs who are/could be FA after this year are:

Joe Smith
Dexter Fowler (5M mutual option that the Cubs agreed not to pick up as a condition of signing him for 8M)
Aroldis Chapman
Jason Hammel (10M team option/2M buyout)
Travis Wood
David Ross (Retiring)
Chris Coghlan
Trevor Cahill

I'm not sure any of them are getting QOs since they set the amount at 17.2 million/1 year, you can't QO Chapman and the FO told Dex they wouldn't QO him two years in a row.

I just think it's weird that Guyer was traded for Garza, then Garza was traded for Edwards, and Guyer was standing on second when Rajai hit his dinger and then Edwards closed out 2 of the final 3 outs.
