I was thinking the along the same lines, if we finally have a front office that's going to properly utilize our superior resources we could render the Cards, Brewers, Astros and Pirates into the lilliputians they are within the next few years.
-
Are you [expletive] serious? I'm not watching -- what'd those [expletive] say? Buck mentioned something about the 1945 Series, think it was last time both teams, in a game 7, scored in the first inning was the Cubs-Tigers in 1945. And of course, McCarver comes back with it was also the last time the Cubs appeared in the WS as if noboby knew.
-
Yet another base runner on a ball not leaving the infield, hey that's what a good team does.
-
Oh, by the way, McCarver and Buck go [expletive] yourselves with another dig at the Cubs - that 1945 Series reference.

Despite the probability of Pujols signing elsewhere being low, I'd love to how the Cardinals would fare without him. After all, they've got the great Craig Allen, David Freese and least we forget, Ryan Theriot to make up the difference.
-
But, but, this "good" world series worthy team.
-
To add to the frustration I believe Carpenter' pitching on fumes of course, a 2 foot outside corner does help.
-
You don't remember when Jason Dubois and Kevin Orie lead us to a world series? Forgot about that one, good call.
-
Next year we're going to be nauseated with the Allen and Freese prospect press. Yep, 29 year old prospects, only team lucky.

IT'S ALBERT PUJOLS AND PRINCE FIELDER Including over the top high estimates for arbitration awards, the Cubs payroll sits at 90M. So your plan is to do what exactly with the rest of the 40M? GIVE IT TO YOU AFTER PUJOLS AND FIELDER ARE SIGNED DUE TO YOUR INFLUENCE

I'm not talking about veteran leadership. I'm talking about signing superstar players to open positions with no long term option anywhere near being in sight. He also mentioned that every year is an opportunity to win and no opportunity to win should be thrown away. He also said that the big league team was on a parallel plane to the farm and that the farm can and will be built while the major league team is addressed. Why do people keep thinking that a eam with the wherewithal to spend close to $150M on payroll is going to intentionally throw a garbage Major League product on the field so that they can build their farm system (as though one would preclude you from doing the other)? Wouldn't you agree there's a lot to fix and expecting much in 2012 is unrealistic? At least there's going to be a smart approach instead of Hendry' seemingly flavor of whoever won the last WS approach.

I'd stay away from Fielder and Pujols they're both financial albatrosses in the waiting. Epstein stressing the development of the Cub Way to me that suggests an emphasis on the draft and the farm system. A good well instructed, fundamentally strong farm system is going to give the Cubs the best chance to win year after year. Winning year after year will lead to more playoff appearances thereby maximizing the chance they'll break through for that WS win. The complete opposite of the quick fix.
-
Not a bad night the Cardinals smoke and mirrors falls through, the Blackhawks win and look good doing so. Hossa going between the stakes was sweet!
-
Even though he made an out, I believe Cruz is going to take that [expletive] clown out of the park this series. Hopefully, it's a series winner.
-
Of course a [expletive] lumber jack is going to get the save!
-
That speed demon Berkman strikes again.
-
That dork he looks scared [expletive]-less yet manages to k the batters he faces.
-
I love how the pen sucked all year and yet now it's a strength, wish we we could just get players who decide to get better. What pisses me off most about Cardinals is their MO of catching lightning in a bottle with a journey man player - and it works.
-
As much of a bs hit that was, I don't believe the Cardinal pen is going to be able to shut down the Rangers. I mean, they showed the Cardinals getting a bs hit in game 6 of the NLCS. Then they get another bs hit in the WS, right after they show that. WTF is this crap? Being a Cardinals fan is like walking between the raindrops. Nothing bad ever happens. I do remember a certain LF dropping a fly ball in a playoff game vs Dodgers but, beyond that, they sure do seem to lead a charmed life.

Of course Cruz swings thru a hanging slider, should this Cardinal team win the WS is it, with the 1986 team, amongst the worst to win a WS?

our We can all be thankful that you're not doing the negotiations on the Cub side. There are probably 20 candidates who fit your definition of a GM worth the price. According to the Score' Matt A. an announcement will come Tuesday, between a possible NLCS game 7 - Monday and WS game 1 - Wednesday. Furthermore, he mentioned Bret Jackson will not be a part of the compensation package hence, I guess it is a good thing I'm not part of the negotiations. Maybe you should be a part of them, who knows, with your input they'd been done yesterday.

For one I don't believe Bret Jackson, Josh Vitters along with other prospects is too high a price. Save for Castro, I'd give up any combination of players and prospects, in Epstein were looking at someone who's going to change the direction of Cub baseball. A GM who values and understands how OBP correlates to runs which leads to wins - it's worth the price.
