So WGN games aren't on WGN outside of Chicago anymore?

I get the baseball package so it doesn't matter much to me anyway, but was that an MLB thing a la the NHL or was that the Cubs' decision?

I get them on a random channel in Springfield, but I'm not sure if that's for all the ABC/WGN games

I live a couple miles from the stadium and I get all the games on my tv, computer, radio, hell my dick plays Cubs games all day long.

Anyway, I think it was WGN that said it was losing money on WGN America Cubs telecasts and the Cubs wouldn't lower the price so you can decide who is responsible.

Wait.  What?  I won't be able to listen to Cub games on my computer?

If you're struggling with it, you might want to contact your IT staff.

The law firm has rigid rules.  We can't look at porn at work or listen to Cubs games.  They are kind of the same thing.

Look, porn might make you feel just as dirty afterward, but at least it doesn't let you down as often as watching the Cubs.

I would like to reiterate that this bullpen is the tits.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

Neil Ramirez is the greatest ginger Mexican this side of Louis CK.

Theo has been really good at fleecing other GM's in trades. The Rangers got hosed.

The Rangers, A's, Orioles and Braves (meaning Cartini for Bonerface and Russell, TBD on Arodys/La Stella) trades just look completely embarrassing for the other teams at this point.

I hope over time that Cashner for Rizzo goes that way as well - certainly seems possible.

I don't think that deal for the Padres is embarrassing yet. 

They wouldn't do it again, I'm sure, but Cashner's still a good pitcher when healthy.

They look embarrassing through the lens of hindsight in which none of those teams won the World Series. But deadline deals like most of those were are meant to get a team into the postseason with a healthy roster able to compete for a title. It's all a crapshoot at that point. Did they overpay for that chance? That's a different question and we'd have to look at who else was available to meet their needs and at what price. It's a good problem to have, I'd say. None of those trades crippled the franchises that made them.
