OMG that was freaking GREAT!!! LOL! This kid has a mean streak, and it’s awesome! LOVE this quote from him prior to the start of the season..... “I want to dominate all my opponents. I want to take their will away to play the game." And this one from Castanzo.... “Nelson has that ability that when people run into him, they move, and he doesn’t.” Both from this article... https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.indystar.com/amp/870430002

I Think Epstein’s done a fine job, other then Darvish....... and you’re right, he won’t always hit a home run. As for the Fowler deal...He did want big money to stay, so Epstein did have to do what he had to do, but I kind of wonder if his decline last season was more related to a culture change, old management, foot fracture, etc? I know Jays not a fan of the signing...and I’m sure I’m being nostalgic but I really wouldn’t mind having him back, I think he still has plenty of fuel in the tank

Speculation, clickbait, nothing more. Epstein already commented, a reporter pretty much took his untouchable comment and ran with it! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-spt-cubs-kris-bryant-theo-epstein-20181109-story,amp.html

Congrats to Rizzo on winning his second Golden Glove!!!! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-spt-cubs-anthony-rizzo-gold-glove-award-20181104-story,amp.html

No, he’s staying, just means he let the deadline pass for exercising opt-out provisions in his contract. Cubs also picked up option on Quintana, also good news. Looks like Wilson could possibly be out.

Hamels and Strop will be back next season, Smyly to Texas. Heyward also let opt out expire!!! Good stuff so far...now who gets traded/cut......

That definitely sounds promising, I also forgot Mathias, our sniper, that will be a huge loss. I believe this will be our last year with Carson, he tested the NBA waters after last season but decided to stay. If he has a great year, he gone.

True, True, how could I forget, lol. I’m a bit curious to see how my Boilers will fare without Haas, Edwards, and Thompson.

This would be me....

No way Sista!!!!! Ok well the Darvish part, I would love that!!!!!!!!

Ok now what? Let’s hope the Colts keep it interesting the rest of the season, as well as the Pacers!!!

Rizzo, Baez, and Heyward up for Golden gloves!!!! Good luck to them!!!!

I love the fact that these guys take time out of their schedules to do things like this...looks like there was a signed Andrew Luck jersey hanging there as wellThis kid has been an inspiration to the Boilers and the surrounding community for sure, and now to many more around the country thanks to Espn, very cool. Whew....for some reason my eyes are sweating a little bit.....

Tied at 2 now, bottom of the third! Go Dodgers!
