  1. I didn’t even make it to the bottom of the 1st inning last night. Pat’s voice put me out
  2. Yes, I grew up in the Eastern Time Zone and now live in the Central Time Zone and the hour makes a world of difference. Also an early to bed guy and an early riser. I've always been an early riser/morning person but when I turned 50, I found I suddenly needed more sleep.
  3. Yes, if the Cubs start 0-5, 1-4 it could get ugly quick. The DBacks are a good team, but their lineup is somewhat similar to the Cubs. Good players but not a lot of SLG. However, Suarez always seems to get big hits against the Cubs, no matter who he is playing for. I'm hoping for a series win here.
  4. We now know who Tom is in real life.
  5. It's unrealized gain. My other working theory is that the kids have overextended themselves on their outside projects and are cash-poor. It's the only reason to sell shares of the team to PE and others (owner of the SB Cubs, for example). They just aren't good with money, which is ironic.
  6. That has been my working theory for a while. Although I think the new President will be Hawkins.
  7. That’s my guess
  8. This is the money line It’s the kids’ team. Jed is a company man through and through, but he’s going out with a message that he did they best he could given what he was allowed to have.
  9. One foot out the door
  10. Workman and Smith are not comparable. The Cubs desperately needed a Tucker-type player, AND they gave up a good player to get him. Shitting on Smith because he hasn't paid his dues doesn't change the equation. The Astros are not a poorly run organization.
  11. Blah, blah, blah horsefeathers blah.
  12. lol. It’s not hindsight if someone is talking about now. Obviously no one ever got rich betting on baseball prospects. But the Astros and the Cubs both think Smith is a fine prospect as do a lot of others who evaluate for a living. It’s a trade the Cubs had to make due to their poor performance in developing talent. That doesn’t lesson the sting if Smith explodes or even becomes a solid everyday starter. If Tucker has a great season and they choose not to resign him or make a half hearted effort like they usually do and Smith flames out, that’s about the best they can hope for. The Cubs needed and still need sluggers. They are a collection of solid starters who need a star or two.
  13. I just watched a video of Smith getting the call in locker room. Talk about a teary eyed feel good moment.
  14. I'm not worried about anything until mid May. A lot of these guys are "working" on a pitch and they don't care about the outcome. They may throw the same pitch in the same location three times in a row and whatnot. Also, it's the end of camp, and not a lot of motivation about the game with travel plans and family settlement. It's time to start playing for real.
  15. Pressly getting beat bad.
  16. I was at the Mets games in Shea when Brazille hit the HR and Hawkins threw the game away. I met CTCubs fan at that game, lol. He's probably a lawyer now with his own family.
  17. They've had mostly AAA players in the lineup since they got back.
  18. Cubs will be on TV today. Everyone is tanned, rested, and ready.
  19. I saw Chourio is hitting close .500 this spring.
  20. They know eyes are going to the NCAA tournament. Who gives a horsefeathers? Give Mic Gilespie a T1 line and a monitor. some people want to watch meaningless baseball.
  21. Yes, they’ve really cut down. I mean if you don’t want to pay JD and whoever just get one guy from a minor league affiliate to do pbp from his house. Cheap ass bush league stuff.
  22. Alabama State
