    Screw the Cubs way. Can we adopt the Cardinals way?
  2. Irrelevant Dude
    Nevermind, it was Rizzo. ESPN is confusing me because they keep showing Castro.
  3. Irrelevant Dude
    Does Valbuena have a screw loose?
  4. Irrelevant Dude
    Almost 3 hours to get through 7 innings? Rate of play, rate of play, rate of play, rate of play!
  5. Irrelevant Dude
    Schierholtz is "banged up" and getting rest until after the All-Star break.

    We got the obligatory Cubs trade discussion out of the way for this inning... check back again in the 5th. And thanks Orel for the explanation of minor league levels. Here I thought we had an A+ prospect!

    Alcantara with a HR into the second deck.
  8. Irrelevant Dude
    LOOOGY
  9. Irrelevant Dude
    Nevermind. ESPN changed the box score.
  10. Irrelevant Dude
    Shouldn't that last run have been unearned?
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    Ok, now don't even think about it Dale.
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    Might as well get Blake Parker up too while we're over-extending pitchers.
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    Dammit Dale!

    ERA down to 3.51, which is hard to believe after his disastrous outing against Cincinnati. He has only given up 3 earned runs in his last 29 innings.

    I know Sveum won't do it, but I'd be perfectly fine with pulling Garza after 6 innings and 93 pitches. I get nervous as hell watching him pitch and just hoping to avoid an injury over the next few weeks.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    Maybe the plan is to sign everyone, thereby reducing the value of all the other teams' slot dollars to nothing. Theo found the loophole!
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    BTW - Deal is done is referring to Eloy. If they are still trying to secure additional slot money, that makes the Marmol trade even more perplexing. Why did they give slot money away for essentially nothing?
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    Brett Jackson must be worth at least $10.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    I like these Jerseys a lot better than the standard road uniforms.

    Can someone explain why we should expect a substantially better return for Garza this year than the Cubs got for Dempster in 2012? Obviously there is a big age difference, but that doesn't matter much in the last year of a deal. Garza has the better "stuff", but Dempster was pitching lights out for most of last season and was less of an injury risk. The only other difference I see from the Cubs standpoint is that they have more leverage with regard to making a tender offer to Garza. They had no intention of bringing Dempster back, but Garza could still have value to them beyond this season. That doesn't make him any better of an option to another team though. I'm a little worried that we're going to go through another month of crazy rumors and near-trades (minus the NTC fiasco) and end up with another underwhelming return. Who wants to talk me off the ledge?

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/clout/chi-tunney-issues-wrigley-demands-20130626,0,994565.story There were some hotel-related demands in the article that didn't sound too outrageous, but I don't think there should be any room for negotiation with regard to the scoreboard and advertising. The Cubs should get what they want regardless of what Tunney says. Appease him with some minor tweaks to the hotel and don't budge on the important parts of the plan.

    Are we sure that Boston isn't playing with an extra man, because it sure seems that way.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    I thought it was definitely a foul live and then on the replay, there really wasn't much body contact. The block itself was clean. Yeah, the block on the ball was clean, but there was definite body contact.
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    I agreed with the LeBron/Green no-call and I'm ok with letting Ginobli's drive go, but I think the foul has to be called on Bosh on the last shot. A shooter has absolutely no chance if the refs are going to allow a 6'11" guy to run at and knock him down.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    Umm... how is that not a foul?
