    I don't know for sure what the weather is in Detroit, but on the west side of the state it's been in one of those stupid gray areas where it's not quite freezing but it's too cold to do anything outside for extended periods. So basically the same as Chicago, outside of a couple nicer afternoons. We have a family lake house just north of Elkhart and generally the weather there is a little better than here. I keep checking the forecast there as the weather stays depressing here, hoping for any warm up so we can bring the family out for a few days, but still nothing. Anyways, Baez is the best and I miss him a lot. Edwardsburg?

    Anyone know why PCA is not playing baseball?
  3. CubinNY
    And that is with the hacking mass of Nick Madrigal in the. lineup.

    I would love to go to that dude's work and heckle him while he's sitting on the toilet for 30 minutes playing candy crush on his phone.

    Chavez is not going to be around long.

    I’m happy with the start but trying to put it into perspective. You don’t have to go back too far to find a team that started out great against a contender and didn’t keep it up very long. *cough2021Orioles*. This team will be considerably better than that example but their ultimate ceiling is still TBD What excites me the most is the working the counts and putting pressure on the pitchers. I still think this team is going to struggle to hit for power but if they can keep grinding out ABs they can score some runs. Their approach is what is was getting at. I agree the need a big LH bat.

    Boy if they can keep this up I will happily eat the biggest plate of crow ever.

    Stro has a Carlos Marmol slider.

    Cubs D a little shaky to start the season especially in the IF.
  12. CubinNY
    Nice!
  13. CubinNY
    Sweep these pussies
  14. CubinNY
    2-0 feels pretty good!
  15. CubinNY
    They should retaliate by hitting the Brewers' best hitter. Based on the first two games here, it looks like that is still Ryan Braun. Post of the year, thus far.
  16. CubinNY
    Take those walls!

    Davis hit a HR today, he’s ready. Time to retire Heyward. Or let him caddy for Davis to “show him the ropesTM”.
  18. CubinNY
    Enough about the past. Will Jed force Ross to stop playing Heyward at some point in the season, discuss.
  19. CubinNY
    A lot

    I sort of agree with you, but the offers were considered to be below fair market value at the time. But in a free market, the value is what you can get. I think Rizzo is upset because he signed a below-market value extension while they were blowing smoke up his ass about being the face of the franchise and other ego-boosting nonsense and when it came time to pay him all the sudden it was a cold numbers game. I'm a labor guy, so in my mind, they kind of treated him pretty horsefeathers, if you can call multi-millions of dollars that. I get it, but when he signed that $73M extension (about $30M was club options, to be clear), he was far from a certainty to be worth anything close to that. He was pretty bad in 2013. I also don't think the offers were below fair market value. I wouldn't have wanted the Cubs to sign him to the deal they offered him. Anyway, he's a selfish anti-vax idiot so whatever Yeah, that's revisionist nonsense

    Yeah Rizzo isn't wrong writ large, but he literally was offered more money by the Cubs than any of the 29 other franchises even came close to offering, so it's weird that he specifically is being such a jilted lover about this. Like if it was Schwarber, who actually did get better offers when he was cut loose, it might make sense. He's also only considering loyalty going one way. The Cubs seem to have made very fair offers to all their stars. They chose to pursue a bigger paycheck. Nothing against them - this is their one chance to get that fat paycheck. Just don't complain about loyalty afterwards. I sort of agree with you, but the offers were considered to be below fair market value at the time. But in a free market, the value is what you can get.

    Way to get out of the blocks!

    All he needs is a perm and a pornshache and he could be Juan Pierre.
  24. CubinNY
    His mechanics have always been bad.
  25. CubinNY
    I like the Cubs approach so far.
