Jesus. I wonder how much they'll be players next year and the year after in FA. They've shown a willingness to spend before, although it didn't work out well for them at all.

I guess I'm kinda young compared to most people on these forums but I was always under the impression that white people loved disco

What you need to understand, young man, is that the history of things white people like is the history of white people taking things from black people, brown people, native people, and queer people and then taking credit for it. Sure disco was a big deal to white folks, but before it was disco is was a fusion of African and Latin dance music and it was being played in queer night clubs.

Favre played like 30 fewer games for the Packers than Fowler the Cubs.

Fowler was a hired gun who didn't even re-sign with the team until Spring Training was underway this year.

Black disco is great, gay disco is great, Italo disco is great, it's pretty much all great except for the poo poo cobbled together in an article by a lazy, weak-rear end writer that later became the basis for the whitewash and racist poo poo of Saturday Night Fever

anyway, how's the baseball

Basically everyone who suited up for the Cubs in 2016 will in some capacity be considered a Chicago legend by at least a small part of the Cub fanbase.

Wow, the Monforts are spending on free agents for once? Wild. I guess if they were ever going to jack up payroll, now would be the time. Especially now that all your pitching prospects are called up to have their psyches crushed by pitching in Coors, haha.

Seriously, that lineup with Encarnacion would be lethal. They wouldn't even need to trade Charlie Blackmon; just use Desmond as a Zobrist type super-sub. Goddamn that team would score all of the runs.
