Did David spill a beer and short out his Pentium Chip or something? It feels like he was all but gone even before I was on vacation.

He's been too upset to post ever since Icewave lost on Battlebots.

The Rockies scored 10 runs in the 3rd inning yesterday. We scored 8 runs vs. the Phillies over the weekend. And Carlos Gonzalez has been absolutely out of his mind the past month.

 

The Rockies are an insurmountable foe. 51-49. Book it!

 

good then theo wont trade baez for a [expletive] pitcher

 

Oh, I hope he does.

 

good for you, i bet you have faith in Castro, prolly that guy thinking he is a future hall of famer. i hope he just gets shipped to japan or something.

Why would you want him shipped to Japan instead of being traded?

 

Personally, I want to trade both Castro and Baez; I really don't care who they play at 2B for the time being. Having a turd bat in the lineup isn't sinking their hitting; it's that too many players are having down seasons or are too streaky or still adjusting to being in the bigs. I'd like to see the Cubs use the resources they have and go get something like Carlos Gomez and Hamels and then just keep your fingers crossed that the critical bats in the lineup stop wallowing in a pit of despair. That way they've made moved to help this year and the future. If guys like Bryant and Soler and Russell and Schwarber click long term on top of having players like Rizzo and Gomez then I'm really not worried about the Cubs having a nobody manning 2B this season, or even the next.

if you take it into the context of what the front office has said about this season, any upgrades to the offense will come from within. at this point having baez out there with LAST years performance is better than castro THIS year. which is really sad.

You're really just comparing turds at that point. I don't think Baez would provide much of an upgrade, but I do think he and Castro still have value in trades and I'd prefer see them shipped out and their value propped up by some prospects.

 

If the offense is truly just going to play poor/prospect-crazy yet again and basically just stand pat with parts they already have I think they're making a huge mistake.

Oh man, its almost even MORE sad that Edwin Jackson gets released to no fanfare. A reasonable, if perhaps slightly risky, signing for a 5th starter that could eat innings and maybe had some upside, and he completely and totally blew up in your face.

 

Its too bad. Always had impressive stuff. Now he's gone with barely a whimper.

 

It would be nice if the Cubs could win a baseball game, but I'm not an optimistic person by nature
