Most excited I've been in a while, baseball wise. Minor league forums been my favorite for a while, and it's going to get a lot more interesting.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I wonder if the beat writers can stop burning Zambrano effigies long enough to do some real stories on the size of this investment by the Cubs.
