Right, but I'm talking about now, today. People started making those jokes again. Like. Just stop it. Talk about baseball, complain about Buster Posey's gold glove, whatever. But don't make light of a tragedy for a whole bunch of people.

Up here in Canada we had a Conservative Party politician say that she's super glad Trump won and she wants to basically be Canada's Trump in the next election, so we have that to look forward to.

I am sorry that your new President is a loving toilet, American baseball buds.

If it helps morale at all, I told my wife, mother, and anyone else who would listen that I'd happily watch the Cubs lose for another 100 years if I could trade it for a Clinton victory.

I know! The fact that it's gone makes it easier to hate him.

Speaking of baseball players with bad opinions about stuff, Christian Yelich definitely talked poo poo about athletes who knelt during the anthem, but no one knew about it because no one cares about anything that any Marlin other than Giancarlo Stanton ever does.

lol no.

And in any event, the Cubs have apparently hinted that they won't be looking to sign any of the big three closers this off season, and are going to try and develop a closer in house. Probably Edwards, but maybe that means Rondon is getting a second chance too:

"Bleacher Nation posted:

And on those free agent closers you’re undoubtedly pining over – Aroldis Chapman, Kenley Jansen, and Mark Melancon – Patrick Mooney suggests that’s not the route in which the Cubs are going. Instead of paying Chapman or Jansen for their success in the past, the Cubs are going to try to identify the next one of them. That said, Jed Hoyer did mention that there’s no way the Cubs would have won the World Series without Chapman and that they’ll at least “have those discussions” of bringing him back. Frankly, I wouldn’t anticipate Chapman back on the Cubs, but it isn’t unlike this front office to explore every single possible angle.

That said, the Cubs are still in talks with Chapman, and linked via rumors to Jansen. Then again, so is everybody else who is going to bother to compete next season.
