Could it be that Brett Jackson is being used as a chip to try to bring a better return for Dempster or Garza? Wouldn't mind it at all if we could get a good pitcher back in return. I've lost almost all hope in Jackson. Then what does our outfield look like next year, and please don't say the same as it does now. The Cubs have the whole offseason to figure that out. I don't think Jackson is going to make or break the outfield at this point.
it would be amazing if they could keep this quiet until tomorrow. i'd love it. It's like Christmas Eve. Looks like I need to cancel all my meetings tomorrow morning. I have sports radio to listen to.
With Maholm's favorable contract for next year, I would put his value close to Dempster's. Reed Johnson may be just enough to get the Cubs back to Delgado.
Gotta love the [expletive] in a Cubs shirt who caught that home run and threw it back, then high-fived all his friends in celebration, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the Cardinals just tied the game.
