    Almora is having a good spring.

    Somebody must have told him say something JD could respond to.

    Yup. I think as of today between the Cubs, Brewers, Cardinals and Reds someone finishes in the 76-80 range, 2 finish in the 84-87 range and 1 gets to 90+. Whatever way you want to order the 4 I think has a fair argument. Stacking up wins vs the Pirates is going to be important. To put a finer point on it, I would go as far to say that the Reds and Brewers will both be in the 78-82 range, and one of the Cubs/Cards will be 85-88 and the other will be 90+. I'm probably unjustifiably skeptical of both the Reds and Brewers though. I'm skeptical of the Cardinals and Brewers (especially the Brewers now that they can't relay signals at home games). I think the Reds are going to win the division. I think the Cubs will either push 90 wins or be a disaster by the trade deadline.

    Ross doesn't get to have gut feelings. He was brought in to do as he's told. At least that's what I hope... The Billy Beane/Art Howe Approach.

    The Cubs and Cards have some extremely long tails; St. Louis on the negative end.

    Fair. Depressing, but fair. Now that the dust mostly has settled, I wonder if Ricketts is a little disappointed that Milwaukee got worse and St Louis didn't really do anything. The Reds made a bunch of moves, but had a ton of ground to make up. It's one thing to have a roster that needs things to break right and choose not to compete, it's another thing to go into the year with the best team on paper (at least, as currently constructed). I wouldn’t be surprised if Ricketts has no idea what teams in the division have or haven’t done and what it means to their ability to be competitive or not. I think that's pretty obviously the case.

    Club option for this year and next.

    The poll

    The Pirates have like a $44M payroll, they should have plenty of money for KB.* *Not a serious post.

    Chris Myers (the dude sideline reporter last night, if you're unfamiliar with the name). They announced it at Cubs Convention. Thanks. I think Len does a much better job when he does Cubs broadcasts. For some reason, he seems much more passive when he does the national broadcasts. For what its worth, I think the 3 person booth is a terrible idea.

    Very uncomfortable halftime show, watch with my 9 year old daughter and her friend. Daughter: what she doing with the rope? Me: um, I don’t know.
  12. CubinNY
    Im sure Len and JD are thrilled. I think Len is doing more Saturday Fox games so I wonder who will take pbp when he’s gone.
  13. CubinNY
    I keep coming to this thread hoping the Cubs are linked to someone other than a fringe middle relief guy, 4th outfielder, aging out infielder.
  14. CubinNY
    ;(
  15. CubinNY
    BTW, this should all go in the Ricketts Family Sucks thread.

    Officially getting ugly. Trading Bryant might be more about the fact that its looking increasingly unlikely that he re-signs with the Cubs They did lie. They held him down to delay his service time and lied about it. No matter how talented, nice, and squeaky clean they are, they are still labor. And MLB management does not give two shits about its labor.
  17. CubinNY
    The Reds are my pick to win the division this year.
  18. CubinNY
    What are they supposed to be fixing?
  19. CubinNY
    If that isn't an MLB The Show name, there isn't one.

    That's the insane part about Sandberg. He was such a vanilla baseball player and an absolute lunatic as a manager. When he managed the Smokies my wife and I went to a game and he got tossed in like the 2nd inning on a pitching change arguing ball and strikes. The Smokies pitcher was awful.
  21. CubinNY
    This was inevitable. Crazy that two teams now need to figure out their manager situation this close to spring training It's not a hard position to fill.
  22. CubinNY
    I love this post.
  23. CubinNY
    between this and the loney comp i'm getting mark grace vibes Does he smoke Marlboro Reds between innings and have a drinking problem?
  24. CubinNY
    God didn't want it bad enough.
  25. CubinNY
    Turns out he wasn't actually tipping his pitches.
