  1. The old "fire the hitting coach" reaction should solve everything.
  2. Although Marmol did blow the save and walked 2 guys, he looked pretty good again. If he can continue to pitch like he has recently, maybe he will draw some small level of interest at the trade deadline after all.
  3. Villanueva looks like he is about to explode.
  4. What do you mean by this? I have re-read your post multiple times and can't figure out what you were trying to say. Are you saying that 2014 is an extremely deep draft or completely the opposite? Yeah, I meant its a much better draft. Hell, being a year out, it'll probably get better. Seems like they almost always do anyway. Gotcha. That's what I thought, but I got a little confused by the comparison of "this class" to "this one" :D Even in a deep draft, I would still argue that the standings matter because there will almost always be a couple guys who separate themselves from the pack over the course of the year.
  5. JD pointed out tonight that Rizzo has been taking a rather large stride lately, so there could be a mechanical issue that needs to be addressed.

  7. Yep, THAT's what's annoying. I don't know why, but this made me think of:
  8. I blame Boers & Bernstein and their anti-Cubs agenda!
  9. Does anyone know what the Cubs' conversion % is for saves? I would assume they must be last in MLB.
  10. Who would have thought this year could be worse than last year?
  11. According to weather.com, there is a 90% chance of rain at 1:00 with the chances decreasing gradually down to 30% at 4:00. I know they really want to get this game in, but even if the weather clears up somewhere around 4:00, I can't imagine the field being in a playable condition.
  12. Both teams off May 9, Texas in Milwaukee the series before. It'll be then. But would they play a day/night doubleheader on 5/9 with both teams having to travel to play the next day? Or would they play an old-fashioned back-to-back doubleheader? Or would they play 1 game on 5/6 and another on 5/9, avoiding the doubleheader altogether but forcing the Cubs to play games on 27 consecutive days. Not many good options there.
  13. It will be interesting to see how they plan to make up tonight's, and presumably tomorrow's, games.
  14. Is it really that difficult to close a damn game!
  15. It opens up a spot for Barney, which means we get to keep Lillibridge. Hooray!
  16. Is the game still over if he doesn't leave the box?
