That was such a tease when I saw that headline last night. What is the point of taking the time to write an article about a signing that the writer himself knows there is 0 chance in happening?

 

It's spring training. The meaningless games haven't even started yet. What is wrong with a column like that? Do you really want the "Johnson really worked out extra hard this year in hopes of putting the disappointing 2008 season behind him" article, or the "Smith thinks he's ready to finally put it all together and translate his skills into success at the plate" column?

i also enjoy the "Joe Schmo lost 30 lbs. in the off season and looks great".

It's better then "lets interview Cubs players about a free agent acquisition that will never happen?"

 

What is tomorrows article, "Chad Gaudin talks about how circa 1927 Babe Ruth would fit on the 2009 Cubs"?

 

Actually, that sounds like a cool article

The point is, it's February, and there is plenty of time and column space available for all these completely meaningless (in the end) columns. I don't see the point in whining about this one. What's is wrong with setting aside two minutes of your life to fantasize about a ridiculously good Cubs lineup that could theoretically happen, if not realistically?

I still expect a "How the Grittiness of Aaron Miles will vault the Cubs to a playoff win" article.
