I was rooting hard for the Cubs once it became clear that Cleveland could indeed blow a 3-1 lead so as a Warriors fan I thank you Chicago.

Now you Cubsing nerds are hereby prohibited from whining for the rest of your lives. That means you Sourkraut.

Who's on everyone's free agent wishlist?

For the Giants I want their offseason to be:

• Signing Kenley Jansen to be closer
• Signing Mark Melancon to be closer
• Signing Greg Holland to be closer, or if the FO is worried about him coming back from TJ, a setup guy.
• Signing Andrew Miller to be closer

If I'm Hammel I'm glad the Cubs didn't pick up my option. He's probably a top three or top five pitcher in this market.

Again, gently caress every last one of you who is even joking that a trump presidency was a "worth it" trade. I just woke up today in a world where I literally have no idea whether I'll be permitted to use public bathrooms, whether my family will be permitted to adopt children, or whether my health insurance will even be required to cover my healthcare anymore. My entire world just turned into a cloud of uncertainty. Please don't perpetuate the intense whiteness of baseball by saying a loving game's championship title is worth Donald Trump as president of the united states.

you realize the cubs world series had literally nothing to do with the election right?

It's just extremely unfunny to me, as a queer person, to see people making jokes about trading a Donald Trump win for their team to have a world series victory. If you mean to imply that I'm literally dumb and so god drat crazy that I think baseball actually affects elections, you're being a disingenuous dick. But when you literally have people in here going "I would have accepted this for an Astros win" or "it was worth it to see the cubbies win", yes stop that loving poo poo. It's not funny. It's not a joke. This poo poo loving happened and now a lot of people are going to have their lives altered in ways that your average baseball fan cannot possibly relate to.

I for one, am glad to see Segura out of the division. Based on the numbers I saw him put up against the Giants alone, I'm labeling this one a win for the Mariners.

From the beginning I thought Melancon was the best fit for the Giants in terms of Cost x Talent (÷ not shooting his girlfriend). Now just trade for Just Dingers Martinez and I'll be so hyped for 2017.

I said earlier that Sale is kind of like Mike Trout, where there wouldn't be a package good enough to make it worth trading him. So far I stand by that.

Rays sign Wilson Ramos to a two-year deal. Seems like a good value-rebuilder from Ramos' point of view, but why the Rays? It's not like they're a healthy Ramos away from contending. Are they hoping to use him as a trade chip down the line?
