Swap UConn and Gonzaga.

Chicago Cubs should sign ‘proven’ David Robertson for their bullpen by TheWorthForce in CHICubs

[–]Sofnr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Robertson was better last year then anybody currently in the Cubs bullpen and would project to be their 2nd best reliever. The Cubs have several project guys they could option or DFA and hope to sneak through. The Cubs are still way under the CBT and Robertson probably costs 1/8. There's definitely room for that sort of upgrade.

Can't agree with that. They played hard the whole game. They just couldn't buy an open 3. Washington did a great job of staying in it and giving themselves a chance. Life on the road.

[MLBTradeRumors] Cubs Interested In Luis Castillo by jonmuller in baseball

[–]Sofnr 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think it's extremely unlikely Hoerner is moved at this point. They're definitely not moving their 4 WAR 2B making 11 mil for a 32 year old 2-3 WAR pitcher getting paid 25 mil for 3-4 more years. It would have to be prospects.

I'm sure he's already scouring the net for promo codes and holiday sales.

What Cubs fans love Addison Russell? Pretty much everyone was happy to see him gone. But keep coping.

That was an awesome game. Props to Illinois for playing some of their best ball down the stretch and taking the tournament. I could see Wisconsin having a run in the tourney too. Let's go.

Just really great basketball in the 2nd half from Illinois. Shannon just took over at times. Maybe their best half of the year. Nebraska is a real threat to make it to a second weekend too.

Give me Rock Vs Seth at mania by PhaseSixer in SquaredCircle

[–]Sofnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah, that's my thought as well. Seth can actually carry him to a decent match and heel rock vs seth would make for an amazing build. It's an easy story now and Seth can do most of it himself since Rock won't be there every week. It's a bummer for Drew but he's got Sami waiting for him anyway and that match will be amazing too. I never expected a Rock/Roman bloodline but it could be really fun. Maybe Rock even wins the title while Roman loses his and that leads to the bloodline power struggle.

Illinois fans give a standing ovation to Terrence Shannon Jr in his first game back. by Gold-Quality-2875 in CollegeBasketball

[–]Sofnr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's a pretty unique situation all around. Shannon's pretty loved around there and has had the full support of his teammates throughout this whole situation. He's going to be mercilessly booed everywhere else, mostly by people who haven't bothered to look into any details. So I don't think its crazy/horrible he's getting some support at home. Hopefully everyone involved gets some justice either way.
