  1. I guess if it is no longer a certainty then it was never a certainty to begin with.
  2. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
  3. Garza, Dempster, Feldman, Maholm is a pretty good four man rotation of starters to dump over 2 seasons for a team with one of the worst records in baseball over that time period.
  4. Is this the lifetime achievement award or MVP?
  5. Leyland wanted to give him his spotlight moment and was afraid that if he waited until the 9th and the NL took the lead in the top of the 9th he wouldn't get a chance to pitch.
  6. Would have been so much better if Leyland had the guts to hold him back until the bottom of the 9th. He has a bullpen full of all-stars and is afraid they can't hold a 3 run lead for one inning.
  7. good god whose idea was this?
  8. Quick someone tackle Neil Diamond before he starts
  9. I think Buck and McCarver are going to start making out soon.
  10. This is very encouraging. I'm really hoping that untapped talent comes to fruition. Unless the Cubs get a major league ready arm in the deal I assume the plan is for Arrieta to be first in line for Garza's spot when he is traded.
  11. I think the 3-2 pitch to that batter before Molina was also a strike.
  12. Is there a reason Fox uses Pitch Trax constantly on their local coverage but hardly ever on the Game of the Week? Seems to me the Cubs are getting screwed left and right on strike calls.
  13. Great I have lost my coverage in Florida to get the stinking George Zimmerman verdict.
  14. Yeah, and apparently the Cubs should look to move Castro to the OF to make room. And they could not be rooting harder for the Cardinals to score this inning. They definitely suck so I am not defending them but in general in these national games they tend to always talk up the team trailing and make it seem like they are on the verge of making a comeback. It is more about keeping the audience engaged than them pulling for one team or the other. I know trading Garza now is the right thing to do but it would be nice to have him in the rotation for a few more years. They guy is a really solid pitcher.
  15. sure is fun to watch his rack bounce when he's running, though. A lot of the experts say that Vogelbach can't make it except as a DH due to his size / defense, but can he be that much worse than Adams?
  16. Strop looks like a pretty good pick up so far.
  17. Len puts a shout out to the cubs.com message board posters? Yech. Their moms probably all made them go to bed already anyway.
  18. Somehow I don't think peeling a piece of clothing off a cardboard standup of Laura Ricketts after each win will provide much motivation for the team.
  19. Maybe the Cubs will get a big enough lead that Sveum will actually use Henry Rodriguez or Brooks Raley instead of Parker and Russell for the 18th straight game.
