Cards got their Ring in 2011, Cubs got one in 2016 thank God, the Dodgers look like they may not get one in this decade. Still hard to believe the Giants have 3 this decade. 

That's Baseball there must be some luck mixed in.

Lol I'm ready for winter meetings

Me too, really ever since the Cubs got eliminated I haven't been into it as much. I still have watched it because I love Baseball but the way the Cubs went out was really disappointing. I will be curious to see what the Cubs do as far as moves this offseason. At least the Brewers lost and didn't make the WS, that made my whole Playoffs :thmup:

I mean talk about having the Baseball Gods on your side, that was the Brewers all season. They had so many lucky 1 run game wins and walkoffs that i lost count. People in the media are saying they will be better next season. I don't see it because they won't be near as lucky in the close games like they were this season. They had to win their last 8 games just to edge the Cubs out for the Division Title and half of those were 1 run wins. I think they will be good but they will not win 96 games again.

Agreed I have seen the Cards are very interested in Harper

Machado will be out there too and with the problems Addison Russell has had off the field, I am wondering if the Cubs won't try for him?? Harper will be available too, he wants out of Washington last I heard.

Cards also after Goldsmit , may be unattainable.

Goldsmit is really good, he would be a nice pickup! I am wondering what will happen with Darvish? Can he stay healthy? That is a big question mark. The one move Theo looks bad on right now. I missed Jake this past season.

We knew it would burn them.

The Cubs did struggle to hit the ball down the stretch but not having Jake was bad.

Agreed the hitting lost it for them at the end but cant help but think they would win at least 4 more with Jake from the start.

I agree. With Jake we probably win right at 100 games and get the #1 Seed. Cubs still won 95 as it was. Jake won 10 games and Darvish won only 1. Jake did only go 10-11 (still 10 wins) but his era was below 4.

The NL Central as a whole is going to be nasty next season. I even think the Reds can be good, like at least .500 and being spoilers to teams. Pirates are a .500 team at worse. We all know what the Cubs, Cards, and Brewers are about.

The Reds could be very good if they solidify the pitching . They can produce runs and pretty good defense as well.

I agree, the Reds had some stretches where they were killing teams. They swept the Cubs 4 straight games in 1 series. The Pirates quietly finished 82-79 and it doesn't even seem like it because the Brewers, Cubs, and Cards were all so good. The Pirates actually beat the Brewers 5 straight games right before the All-Star break.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      Then begs the question. Do u want to say draft a MJH at 4 and turn around in 4 years or would u say draft Turner and pay him 30mill in 4 years? All day every day for the franchise rush end. I am not a big believer in 30 mill for a wr. Reid is a fantastic coach and look what he did with Hill.

      I literally just posted that clip, it's where the conversation about QBs started.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By richard pallo · Posted

      Funny you brought this up.  I just listened to an interview Ballard did today with Rich Eisen.  He asked him if he has given any thought on how many quarterbacks will be taken before our pick and how many does he think.  He said sure we go through those evaluations.  It helps us with for planning purposes.  He asked him how many.  4 or 5 or 6?   He laughed out loud at 6.  He said Rich if it’s 6 we will be so excited.  Let’s hope so.  He also said the draft board is not yet set.  Won’t be until the night before the draft.  He also said he has had multiple conversations with other GM’s concerning the draft.  Preparing themselves for opportunities that could take place.  And they will continue up until the draft starts.  He said trade conversations won’t really materialize until you are within three picks of any trade.  Giving you time to finalize it.  Interesting interview.  Oh he pretty much ruled out moving up for Harrison.   Going up into the top of the draft would be very costly for him he said.  Thinks he’s a great talent but he thinks he’s pretty much out of our reach.
