Source tells me that Bears have signed Marc Colombo Jr. Unlike his dad, he can’t immediately tear his right patella tendon because he was born without a right leg.

Sori was doing the "You Can't See Me" 18 years ago for the Cubs. But why would @watchmarquee.bsky.social have anyone there who knows that?

Does Alex Cohen do any prep before these games? Now he's asking JD about the WBC and JD hasn't watched hardly any of it. How the fuck is this is an actual big league broadcast? I know the bar is low @watchmarquee.bsky.social but holy shit.

Oh, it's tampering? I've heard it both ways.

Cohen just asked JD, "Do you know why they call it the Baltimore Chop?" Any competent announcer would then follow that with the story. We've heard it 1,000 times, but it's normal spring training game filler. But Cohen was really asking. "I use it all the time, but never knew what it was." So dumb.

Here's a better idea. Just start actual free agency tomorrow, not the pretend "legal pampering" nonsense. Only people who need North Shore Adult Diapers should be legally pampered.

I don't think Connor Schultz is going to make the Cubs opening day roster.

"For those of you looking for Iowa at Nebraska"...go outside, do something with your lives.

Fox does a shitty job of covering this tournament. They don’t even acknowledge the other games being played at the same time.

All Adam Wainwright knows about the 2011 World Series is that he didn’t play in it.

Panama blew leads in the ninth and tenth against Puerto Rico and denied me the opportunity to post this.

Judge just pushed those stupid Crawford Boxes back about 40 feet.

He doesn’t even have a podcast.

Trade him to the Cubs.

It’s a good thing the Brits didn’t play defense like this at the Battle of Saratoga, am I right?

I still love these uniforms.

Pete walked with the bases loaded later, against who I can only assume is the janitor.

Petecrow grounded to first facing the Yomiuri Giants’ team translator. I’m not making this up. The guy is pitching for Brazil.

Do any of these Fox networks showing the WBC have any ads other than for terrible bible movies or shit-in-a-box at home colon cancer tests?

Amin, Wainwright and Eyechart are straining to remember β€œthe time” Mexico beat the US in the WBC. The US hasn’t beaten Mexico since 2006. They’ve lost three in a row and have only beaten the Mexicans that one time.

I had Garrett Bradbury ranked ahead of Maxx Crosby, anyway.

This is tiresome. They have scored the most goals, allowed the fewest, won the most games and lost the fewest. People act like they’re top of the league with a negative goal differential and just running around punching Harry Maguire and Fabian Hurzeler in the dick. Which they should.
