    According to Peter Gammons (insert obligatory grain of salt reference), the Cubs will announce their manager tomorrow. I am still hoping for a complete curveball hiring of Dave Martinez, but it appears Renteria will be the guy.

    I still think Mark Grace would be a good choice for radio analyst and he has certainly done enough to lower his value over the past year that he would be happy to take a radio gig. Whether the Cubs are willing to take that PR risk, and whether it is in Grace's best interest to put himself back in Wrigleyville, are two pretty big question marks though.

    YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Sorry, that had been building up for awhile.

    IIRC just a few million bucks That was only a week's pay for Milt Rosenberg.

    I wouldn't count on that, but the good news is that MLB.tv is better anyway.

    I am amazed by all the negative responses to the article on the Tribune website. Apparently the Cubs are supposed to accept below market value TV deals so that some guy living in a trailer in Florida can continue watching the games for free. I guess that is what I get for reading the comments section of a Tribune article.

    If McCown was a little younger he might be setting himself up for a Matt Cassel contract.

    Go away Podlesh.

    I'm not sure I would consider losing one of the best players in the NFL on the first possession of the game a break.

    What is this? On Deck 2014 - Season Ticket Holder presentation with Theo and Crane Kenney.
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    What a disaster.
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    I have been riding that bandwagon all along, but unfortunately I think the Cubs front office waved at us as we passed by.

    Lovullo not getting the Cubs job most likely hurts Lovullo much more than it hurts the Cubs, so I imagine the Red Sox will have a disgruntled employee on their hands if in fact he doesn't get an interview. On a related note, I was really hoping a manager would be in place before Theo's presentation this weekend, but that isn't looking very likely.
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    That is an odd, and inconclusive, explanation.

    Didn't it look like Craig was nowhere near the baseline when he tripped? Does that matter?
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    That is my favorite play of the entire season.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    I can kind of see where he was coming from. I'm glad the umpires got the call right, but what is the criteria for overturning a call like that? Would the same call have been made without the crowd reaction if the game was being played in St. Louis? The umpires got it right, which is the most important part, but I do think the opposing manager is justified in questioning the overturn.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    What was the umpire looking at? He was standing 3 feet away and staring right at the play.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    You've gotta be kidding me.

    According to Mark Gonzales, Renteria is getting a 2nd interview this week. Have any other candidates been confirmed for round 2?
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    I refuse to accept that Dave Martinez didn't blow everyone away. Just hire him already.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    Any news on the booth for next year? I thought Moreland's contract was up, but haven't heard a thing about it.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    He won't. He'll just take over for Adam Wainwright like Adam Wainwright took over for Chris Carpenter. Just like Matt Adams and Allen Craig took over for Albert Pujols like Albert Pujols took over for Mark McGwire. Then he will become a free agent, the Cardinals will be smart enough not to pay him big money, but someone else will and then he will suck. Rinse and repeat.
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    Of course Wacha beats Kershaw. Why wouldn't he?
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    Let the 2nd round of interviews begin. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-spt-1018-cubs-chicago-20131018,0,7637766.story
