  1. Or maybe we just need to consider what really happened after 2009. I know there were injuries last season, but I still find it suspicious when someone suddenly drops from a consistent .900+ OPS to the low .700's in what should be the prime of his career. Prime? 31 and 32 years old? Yeah, those should still be prime years for a hitter. Maybe the tail of the prime, but close enough.

  3. Well, that sucks. That almost guarantees that, even if he does come back healthy, it will not be as a starter.
  4. I never realized that "lacking speed off the bench" was such a big problem. I would be more concerned with lacking guys who can hit.
  5. You should be able to get your money back if that is what you want. Per my understanding the Cubs have always had an informal policy of refunding rainout tickets, but I received an email from the Cubs organization today indicating the game had been postponed until June 28th and 'there will be no refunds or exchanges' of the tickets. For a fan who lives in Mobile, AL, attending the June 28th makeup game is not going to be feasible. Can anyone confirm there is still an informal policy of refunding rainout tickets or is the email I received a firm stance taken by the new ownership? Maybe the policy has changed, but I attended a rainout either last year or the year before and the Cubs sent out information that instructed ticketholders to mail their tickets into the box office for a refund. I mailed my tickets and they credited the card that I had used for payment.

  7. Is it officially postponed or was it just an "I don't think they are going to play today"?
  8. Sure was. It ended just in time to beat the rain too.
  9. As much as I want to see Rose get 50, get him out of there.
  10. Taj is killing them with the offensive rebounds.
  11. How many times have we seen the move where he puts his shoulder down and bulldozes the defender?
  12. Seriously? "The fans want a technical foul on Rose"? No, they thought the ball was out of bounds on him.
  13. He had the bunt sign. For some reason he decided to keep pulling the bat back and taking strikes instead of bunting them.
  14. When Castro first came up, I remember him beating out a few infield hits. Why does he seem like he isn't getting down the line very quickly this season? When I saw that ball bounce way up in the air, I thought he had a chance to beat it out, but it wasn't very close.
  15. Not that it really matters but... Game time is 1:20, right? Not 1:10.
  16. He really needs to stop settling for jumpers.
  17. Yeah. As long as it is a 15 foot fadeaway jumper.
  18. He can barely dunk when he is all by himself under the basket, let alone with a defender in front of him.
