36 comments

1. You had Tom & Jed in studio an off-season or two ago and didn't ask one difficult question. The guy I see after a bad loss on Cubs ReKap was nowhere to be found. Nothing but praise for Tom & Jed when they were in the studio with you. Nobody is asking you to be rude, but asking the guy who owns the frickin Chicago Cubs why he is so cheap would be a start

2. This is why I hate tom more than Jed Ik Jed wants to make the splash moves for high money but as Godfather says on the Lunch Hour Fucking Cheapskate RIcketts just cares about the ball park

3. Hoyer The Procrastinator If Mr Procrastinator doesn’t make another deal what are we looking at realistically win totals, 78, 79 wins?

4. Im not paying for Marquee next season until i see some urgency from the front office.

5. I am getting ready for Mount Kap to explode when they dont sign anybody and force a trade for a starter giving up 5 prospects

6. Fans need to show they're frustration by canceling Marquee, not going to games, and making their voice heard.

7. You are not getting a good closer without giving up a valuable piece.

8. Relying 100% on Daniel Palencia is a huge mistake and my question right now is who the hell replaces this guy if he falls? They let Keller walk. He came so cheap. He was a Godsend last year, Guys, I just don’t understand HOYER. He signed some decent guys for the bullpen. I give him that credit but he’s yet to sign anyone that can pitch the ninth thinning and that really worries me.

9. Go get J.D. Martinez he ain't doing nothing! Need that right handed cleanup hitter. If you could sign Turner at 40, you can sign him at 38. One of the best hitters the game has ever seen!

10. Can they get pitchers that have swing and miss stuff, instead of just "pitch to contact" stuff!!??🧐🤨🙄🤔

11. Plain and simple, quit filling the Park!!🤔🤨🧐

12. I'll give my opinion of the off-season when its actually over. Its pointless to complain about it right now.

13. I don't want Tucker back!!🧐🤨

14. Their job is to bitch and complain which doesn't do anything. Lot of free agents still out there

15. We're getting nothing for Christmas so say all the Cubs fans!!!

16. I bet Ricketts is the first one in the returns line on December 26th.

17. Trade Shaw!

18. Jed is the most incompetent gm in all of baseball.

19. I’m still not paying for Marquee

20. At least the Beverly Hillbillies didn't have baseball fans to disappoint when Mr.Drysdale at the bank said: NO MONEY!!!

21. As soon as the video started, I saw another spirit, or whatever (some form of energy?) fly in front of the camera. Unless you have an insect infestation. Do you see any bugs flying around that room? If not, then the phenomenon is very real, and the science community is clueless to the fact. Evidence captured.

22. The Devin Williams situation has convinced me the Cubs approach every contract as a 0 sum negotiation, they make one offer and it’s take it or leave it, this only gets you the type of guys they’ve signed thus far this off season. Then they hope every year that someone’s market will wane and they’ll be able to swoop in and get a guy on a short term high AAV with an opt out every season because they are afraid to commit to paying significant money for more than a couple of years

23. Seems the family who made billions with TD Ameritrade can't figure out this baseball thing. How did the Tribune make money with the Cubs, but now Tomny Nickels can't seem to make a profit with hundreds of new revenue streams? Tom owns the bars, shops, hotels and he is also the landlord to many of the people who live within Wrigleyville. I go to several games a year and no matter if it's a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday the entire neighborhood is jam packed. 3rd in revenue and constantly outside of the top 10 in spending. It's gotta stop.

24. Patiently waiting for a "Chicago Freaking Cubs $$$" tshirt

25. I’d sign say Imai and Okamoto and trade Shaw and pieces for Marte

26. Kap it was 1 game… The importance of it doesnt mean shit, when evaluating Shota Imanaga's future. It was an unfortunately timed moment that is in the PAST!!!

    If you think Shota is washed up cuz he couldn't start game 5 then your an idiot. He just wasnt himself CLEARLY & every Cubs coach has said as much.

27. The Ricketts are treating the Cubs like they bought a restaurant on the corner, when they first open under new management, they spend extra to get you in the door. 2016 was our free entree with the purchase of a soft drink, and it’s been full price order off the menu since

28. Bring back Anthony Rizzo bring back the Chapman as the closer

29. Where is Tom’s end of season letter to the fans?

30. The Cub front office continues to lead the league in excuses.

31. Franchise is a F-ing joke. And so are the fans that keep spending cash on this pile of sh-t.

32. Happy Hanukkah 🕎 kappy

33. Gordon is absolutely right…..
    The fact even Jed says Gordon is the only one that asks the hard questions, IS saying everything about the current Cub beat writers.

    Also shows why it’s obvious Gordon wasn’t allowed to be there when they had Tom on last year.

34. Kap remember this fire when Tom comes in for his interview next year!

35. The Ricketts gave the sign to Jed to bunt for power.

36. You two are smoking crack if you think they only need a starter. They didn’t hit the entire second half and their best bat is leaving. You think Owen Mervis and Mervis Ballesteros are the answer ? Give me a break
