    Depends how much input the Ricketts get. I could see them wanting a Girardi type if things go south.

    The Nats trade for Kyle Barraclough. -0.2 WAR last year.

    I watched the whole thing. It was great and I think Theo said all the right things. I don't think he was alluding to anyone in particular. Probably speaking about the team's mindset collectively and how they lost that killer edge. I really don't think the players got complacent. A bunch of players just struggled this year. Also, we need to remember this Cubs team won 95 games so we have to frame this disappointment in the right context. True, but some of those comments, like the noon game on getaway day in a long season, were pretty specific. No, there’s no shame in 95 wins, but [expletive] the bed against the Pirates, or those Brewers series took away any gleem of the season. There were some pretty worthless ABs in those games. The 2 out 3 ain’t bad attitude, that’s on the manager. But I think they just excepted to make the playoffs so they were looking to give guys time off. No one expected Yellich to turn into Ted Williams and the Brewers to actually be vaunted.

    Most of this makes sense apart from Bote in the OF. If he isn't playing 3B or 2B, his value is close to nil. Bote is the guy you want as the backup infield guy, though I don't know what he'd be like at SS. Prob not good. Bote's greatest value to the Cubs is as a trade chip. Unfortunately, there aren't many Jim Hendrys around anymore who would value him incorrectly.

    That was the first year in my Doc program at Ohio State. I remember sitting in some empty rib restaurant watching the game by myself. Good times.

    Riggleman is a good manager. He always gets stuck managing shitty teams.

    The Cubs will win tomorrow. The VB are going to tight.

    Mo says that is not the Cardinal way of doing things.

    Fun fact: The AL has 3 100 win teams and 3 100 loss teams. The NL has 0 100 win or loss teams.

    Big game today. Win or lose today, it's been a great regular season.
  11. CubinNY
    It’s too much for me to watch this game. I get anxious just checking the scores.

    What do we want: ROBO UMPS When do we want them: NOW
  13. CubinNY
    Go Tigers!

    He’s not a progressive hippy he’s a bat- horsefeathers crazy libertarian free market capitalist.

    That statement should be grounds for immediate dismissal. Theo has to be pissed.

    Cant cause you didnt provide them and I was bored at work and googled what you said and cant seem to find anything about what you are talking about Theo said Marrow was injured after a game. The game was one in which he shouldn't have been pitching in but Joe blew the bullpen.

    I think Bryant is mostly dead.

    The worst part is he hasn't gotten worse over the years as Hary Carey did, he sucked like this right out of the chute. Reinsdorf loved him for some reason. Let's not forget Jerry made him the GM and he produced one of worst stretches of baseball in WS history.
  19. CubinNY
    Schwarber getting hot going into the playoffs would be awsome.
  20. CubinNY
    Hawk is laying it on thick. It’s been 3 innings of name drops pithy colloquialisms.
  21. CubinNY
    if these allegations can be substantiated Addison has to go, like today.
  22. CubinNY
    Cubs look like they just want to get this one ove and go home.
  23. CubinNY
    This guy actually sounds kind of good, is he?
  24. CubinNY
    If the Cubs do manage to win a World Series against Boston or Houston, this "team" has to be considered one of the best ever for what they've done after all the injuries.
  25. CubinNY
    Joe seems to have pretty significantly mishandled the pitching staff with his hand-picked pitching coach (see Theo's comments about Morrow). If the Cubs don't make it deep into the postseason what are the chances that his contract is not renewed?
