Yeah I don't really care much either, but the Chicago National League Baseball team is playing right now.

[Sammy Sofa]

It's foggy.

[UMFan83]

Looks like the fog bowl except its baseball and one of the teams involved kinda sucks

[davell]

For those who look here but not the minor league thread......Javy has 4 homers tonight. Yes, I said 4. In 4 plate appearances. 4.

[Sammy Sofa]

Sweet, maybe it'll just be one more full season of baseball garbage. But probably not.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Checking on this thread while following the Javy Game Thread is like going back and forth between Disney World and a loved one's funeral.

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeah, it'll be great when he's either a productive major league player or traded for one. Until then he's about as real as [expletive] Mickey Mouse.

Brandon Phillips helping out the Darwin Barney Gold Glove cause.

Last time the CUBS were held to 4 hits in a game.... Sat 08 Jun 2013 in a 6-2 loss to Pittsburgh at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I find your inability to cope with this particular crappy Cub season (as compared to the many in the past) amusing.

[Schwarber Fan]

Xavier Paul is such a typical Cob killer

I'm coping just fine; I just have little interest in minor league baseball, so waiting for those guys to pan out doesn't exactly make watching the major league team any less gruesome.

[Schwarber Fan]

THIS IS A FAMILY SITE. Darn you, Lutz. Probably saving us from fake rally though.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS scored 6 runs in an inning.... Thu 30 Aug 2012 (6 runs in the 6th inning) in a 12-11 win over Milwaukee at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

OMG !! Castro got a hit !!

It should help alleviate the pain. Granted even the most blue chip of prospects is no sure thing, but it's been a long time since we've had a crop like we do now.

 

Back in the early 00's when the last wave of the future was on its way, I probably didn't even know where to go to check a minor league box score, so it is exciting to have a new generation of potential stars after several years of potential role players to sprinkle in here and there.

 

Kind of like having $17 in the bank account, but hey, your stocks are trending up.

Nobody experiences an individual season in a vacuum. You experience a season with the knowledge of what happened before still in your brain. This is the 4th consecutive losing season, which amazingly has not happened since the mid-to-late 80s. The losing is compounding like debt.

Right, so when it actually pays off I'll enjoy it. I get that there are people who love following minor league baseball; I'm not one of them outside of sometimes checking the box scores.
