    Cubs are 0-1 when I watch/listen. 1-0 when I don’t. That’s enough data fro me to make a decision.
  2. CubinNY
    He'll fit right in then.

    Len is on Cameo. He must have taken quite a pay cut to "live his dream" of doing White Sox radio broadcasts.
  4. CubinNY
    Excellent.

    Mormons don't use caffeine either.

    Wilson pissed me off swinging at Garbage after a 4 pitch walk.

    I'm with Derwood here. I love Pat and Ron, but there is a lot of ad reading going on in these games, even compared to just a handful of years ago. I guess I've always noticed the ads, but they have never bothered me. But now I'll be paying attention to them and it will drive me crazy. Thanks a lot NSBB! Pat was bitching about it too, so there must be an increase in the ads. "And here is the Sloan System 1st pitch, Sloan when you need to get the horsefeathers out of your how house quick, think of Sloan, of the Bells Brewery bottom of the 6th, bottoms up on a great tasting craft beer by a family-run organization. When it's time for beer it's time for Bells. And it's a strike."

    There is no possible way the Ricketts can get any more advertising behind home plate.

    Basically, all the worst fears showing up in this 1st game.
  11. CubinNY
    I think Boog is trying way too hard. He's straying into Jeff Garlin territory.
  12. CubinNY
    Kyle not sharp to start the game.
  13. CubinNY
    Fake rally or real rallly?
  14. CubinNY
    Extend him.
  15. CubinNY
    Happ doing the leadoff thing! Big inning on its way.
  16. CubinNY
    Good grief...
  17. CubinNY
    I'm excited. What a special day for baseball fans. I feel like Charlie Brown lining up to kick the football.

    We use to do this at the start of the season. The Cubs have the best starting rotation in baseball in ERA and runs scored The bullpen has the most blown saves in the NL Joc is traded at the deadline Bryant isn't The Cubs finish below.500

    He's 31 now, no? He's closer to 32 than 31 now, and he's under contract for this year. So if you're talking about an extension that is tacked on to his current deal, there's zero precedent going beyond 3 years. If you're talking about ripping up this year, there's 2 examples of 1B signing through age 35 in the last 15 years at his age or older, and they were in the literal sense shorter deals. I guess I'm assuming that the hang-up is about dollars and not years. 4 years at $80M seems reasonable to me, maybe make the last year a club option/buyout thing.

    Rizzo turns 32 in August. ESPN's Free Agent tracker goes back to 2006, and I don't see a single 1B 32 or older getting a 4+ year deal. Pujols was 31 when he signed his huge deal, and Carlos Santana and Jose Abreu got 3 years at age 32, that's the entirety of 31+ year olds getting 3+ years at the position. He's 31 now, no?
  21. CubinNY
    Almost 35 year old Carlos Santana just signed a 2 year, 17m deal after throwing up a .699 OPS last year and garbage defense since forever. Probably conflating posters around here, but all the people who wanted Nico to slug .300 every day because our pitching staff was built around ground balls has no problem dumping Rizz to pay a revolving door of fringe DH types to Roger Dorn ground balls and picks at first for the next few years. I don't think people are thinking. Rizzo is an elite defender and top 5 offensive player at his position. There is nothing to suggest he's going to fall off a cliff and he's not asking for a 10 year/$240M contract. And he's a main draw at Wrigley. People come to watch him play. This should be a no brainer for the Cubs, but the Ricketts are assholes, so here we are.
  22. CubinNY
    I feel bad for Rizzo. It's hard to put a value on how many kids/parents he draws for the Cubs that a Mark Canha type will never draw. I know my son's eyes lighted up when he saw Rizzo for the first time at Wrigley. it's not all about production.
  23. CubinNY
    This Cubs reliever roster looks like it has the potential for Ross to leave in starters too long. He doesn't need another reason to do that. Also, the Cubs are going to go long stretches where they are not scoring runs.
  24. CubinNY
    Agreed, and here's the quote from Ross: This is about Sogard, not Bote. It’s about a lifetime backup catcher giving a veteran some more service time.
  25. CubinNY
    You don't think they're eyeing that extra year by keeping him down til May?Sure, a lot of momentum working against having the best team available coming out of spring training in a year where they really need to get off to a good start.
