It would almost be worth it watching Jed squirm at the convention while he tries to sell everyone on his new collection of mediocre veterans on 1 year deals. -
Someone needs to extend the architect of this offensive juggernaut.
-
This lineup is like swiss cheese.
-
He is also hitting in a park that a 6th grader could hit home runs out to RF.

They have the resources to be #1 easily, so the fact that there can be a debate between 1-3 is an indictment in itself. And there is light at the end of the tunnel for the White Sox. It is going to take awhile, but it isn't out of the question that within 10 years, the White Sox have a better ownership group than the Cubs. Even if the Ricketts family eventually sells the team, the value and assets involved all but assures we are going to get another Ricketts-like entity or worse. The chances of getting a fully invested owner whose primary goal each season isn't maximizing revenue are slim to none.

I thought I recently saw somewhere here stating that his bat speed was virtually the same. The interesting thing is, even if Tucker's finger is 100%, it is probably in his best interest not to say that. Let teams think maybe the reason he struggled was because his finger wasn't right, and that way they may have less to worry about going forward in offering him a huge contract. I'm not saying the finger ISN'T part of the reason, just that it may be difficult to determine whether that is actually the case.

Give Schwarber like $50 Million for 1 year then. At least give us something exciting to work with.
-
I still don't know whether Berti was actually safe or out, and I can't argue with the "call stands" on that review. What sucks is the call stood based on a faulty premise. The umpire called Berti out because he thought the tag beat him, which wasn't the case. If he had properly determined that Berti beat the throw, then the call stands in the Cubs favor. It was obviously a bang bang play, but it is unfortunate that it played out the way it did.

Did Contreras keep his foot on the bag there?
-
I guess I'm too used to Wrigley but that Shaw HR looked like a routine fly ball off the bat.
-
I prefer to think of it as a half full season.
-
And the night before.
-
This team has made me loopy, but this may be one of my favorite posts of all time. An empty quote of an empty quote. 😁
-
That's a real heads up play by Nico. Yes, I realize it doesn't matter.
-
At this point, the fact that I'm still watching is completely on me. It isn't the Cubs' fault. It is a me problem and I can admit that.
-
Honestly, they are a good story. Part of me is rooting for them to just keep winning and bury the Cubs (even more than they are already buried). I can't say the Cubs don't deserve it.
-
Brewers win in the most Brewers way possible, throwing the potential tying run out at home on a single to CF.
-
Schwarber hit #41 tonight. Good thing we dodged that bullet.
-
Cubs go to the pen and the opposing team immediately scores. Like clockwork.
-
I didn't, but Tom's just trying to pay the bills.
-
A versatile dud though.
-
Runner doesn't move from first? That checks out.
-
Nope. He is working with what we has. But you can conclude maybe a manager just doesn't matter very much.
-
This version of Kyle Tucker clearly isn't the all star version.
