Let the Death watch begin.

Arroyo always dominates the Cubs.

[Schwarber Fan]

If David Bell was waving Valbuena home there, he should be out of a job right now.

so, is Ryan Sweeney: Power Hitter a real thing?

He's such a big dude, it seems unfathomable that he would be such a pierre at a plate for so long.

[Schwarber Fan]

that's a great play by Castro

Are we supposed to be upset if he's in our Opening Day lineup next year? I've got no clue what to think about him.

I think Valbuena should take over Barney's job next year.

Chicago owns Cincinnati (over the last 31 hours)

I don't think I would be. Definitely need to find RH hitting OF, especially one who hits LHP well. Assuming Lake is going to be starting just about everyday. And Valbuena>Barney at 2B X1000 next year. Let 3B be figured out by Olt, Vitters, veteran FA, whoever.

Fred... how many game 1s of series have the Cubs won this season?

assuming a tight budget, i'm actually fine with Sweeney & Lake starting provided we can sign Tanaka or do something exciting with the other monies freed up

I won't be upset at all. I don't think it's unrealistic to expect that he, if healthy, could post 2-4 WAR. He's done it before, and if he's finally tapping into some of the power that was always expected of him, he could be a nice asset. Plus his defense isn't too shabby. I wouldn't go all SCS, but I wouldn't be at all bothered to see him signed to a 2/5-6 deal. Even if things don't go as well as they could, you could do worse finding a fourth OF.

I would love nothing more than to sweep them and push the back in the standings so I can listen to the Cub hating Brennamans whine and cry.
