Buccolts is the Pirates fan. There is a Phillies fan who posted here recently. There are several Reds fans (Dgambill, ColtsBlueFL among others). There are a couple of Orioles fans but they have never posted here.

Honestly, I have never had a better PC than this.  It has a 27 inch screen that seems as if it is almost 3D.  I will watch some games or a race on this thing, :)

Dodgers are due. They have been on the cusp for years but just haven't got over the hump. Not a bad prediction at all.

We have a talented roster; we just need them to stay healthy. We managed to make it to the NLCS despite having 28 players on the disabled list. Hopefully Kazmir can get healthy so we can finally have that deep pitching rotation we've all been waiting for.

Yeah for the home that is perfect. I go with laptops mainly because of work. I have had mine for roughly 3 years so I am due for a new one. I usually get a new one about every 3 years.

I have been a Cubs since the 80's, so glad they finally won it all. You guys scared the crap out of me during the NLCS when the Dodgers went up 2-1. I was worried. Kershaw IMO is the best Pitcher in Baseball.

Nice to see that former Mets super prospect Scott Kazmir is still in the majors. I loved that kid. He was like what Noah Syndergaard was for us a couple of years ago. The Mets traded Kazmir for Victor  Zambrano (not Carlos who was great for the Cubs). Mets fans were so upset with that trade. One of the worst trades in Mets history.

I thought we had a chance once we went up 2-1, but I just didn't feel it. A-Gon was the only one capable of getting a hit. I thought Puig matured a bit in the 2016 playoffs. He didn't hit, but his discipline on the plate impressed me.

Went back in past on this thread kinda glancing through , Punters are People too is a fairly big Cub supporter and Gavin did drop in to follow the Cubs . Had forgotten.

 

Punters are People Too has not been around for a while. I don't think he posted any comments after the Cubs won the WS. When he used to post here, he said he was in his senior year of high school. Maybe college life or work life is keeping him busy.

Mine is 10 years old.  I use it mostly on vacations now.

Yeah Gavin didn't Post much in here but it was because he didn't want to jinx the Cubs is what he Posted once. He, like me and many others were hesitant to celebrate until the whole thing was actually over. I think he would've Posted a lot in here now since we won and ended that curse.

I don't need my readers on this one.  HA!  

 

Ha. Last weekend I got my first pair of prescription eyeglasses. I can't read without them. It is a bit annoying putting them on and taking them off when I am not reading. haha

That is why I posted his reaction to the Cubs victory in the "Remembering Gavin" thread. He was so happy. Thankfully he got to celebrate that before he left us.

I am getting close. I can still see pretty well but it's getting tougher at times. Being on the computer a lot doesn't help matters either haha. I am in my mid 40's and things are starting to hit!

I am Cubs fan and anyone from the Tri-State so right now I am following The Phillies(Jarad Eickhoff) and Marlins(Don Mattingly)

 

 I watch the Reds since I am in their "home" market, ties to Gibson County and several college roommates from Columbus and Brownstown

 

 Better not forget about the Dodgers because of strong Princeton ties

    • You think the Ed Dodds you see in edited clips here is the same as the Ed Dodds who interviews with teams?   I don’t know you or anyone would think that?      He’s very much respected around the NFL which is why multiple teams ask to interview with them most every year. 
    • Round 1 - #15 A. Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas B. Brian Thomas, WR, LSU C. Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia   Round 2 - #46  A. Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M B. Marshall Kneeland, DE, Western Michigan C. Jaden Hicks, S, Washington State   Round 3 - #82 A. Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon B. Darius Robinson, DE/DT, Missouri C. Ben Sinnott, TE, Kansas State   Round 4 - #117 A. Jalyx Hunt, DE, Houston Christian B. Mason McCormick, OG, South Dakota State C. Malik Washington, WR, Virginia   Round 5 - #151 A. Beaux Limmer, OC, Arkansas B. Tanor Bortolini, OC, Wisconsin C. Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville   Round 6 - #191 A. Decamerion Richardson, CB, Mississippi State B. Qwan'tez Stiggers, CB, Toronto C. Nick Gargiulo, OC, South Carolina   Round 7 - #234 A. Millard Bradford, SS, TCU B. Mark Perry, FS, TCU C. Dalton Tucker, OG, Marshall   BONUS: Will the Colts trade the #15 pick this year?  A: Yes, they will trade back.  
    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :   
    • Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
