  1. That sounds.... really bad. He has to be getting close to calling it quits. His back isn't going to get any better and he can't even make it through a few weeks of the season, all while not being able to perform even when he is on the field.
  2. I saw the Cubs scored 2 and immediately assumed Michael Busch was involved.
  3. Pretty much. Don't get swept and come home 12-9 or better. Just keep treading water and crossing these tough series off the calendar.
  4. Makes sense. Brain fart on my part, I'm not sure why I thought he only had 1 year left.
  5. Yeah, PCA may be a "late bloomer," since he is so old (just turned 23). Why didn't he just come up hitting 30+ HR's at 21? These ESPN guys sound absolutely clueless about him.
  6. And a starting third baseman. But hey, Jed built a really deep team.
  7. If there was a better option to play 3B, Shaw shouldn't be here right now. But our other options are a 40 year old who can't really play the position anymore, and a rule 5 pick who may be even more overmatched at the plate than Shaw.
  8. Is it really that risky? If Kelly were to get injured, Amaya would just switch from DH to Catcher. That means the Cubs would lose their DH for the remainder of the game, but in this incredibly unlikely hypothetical scenario I don't really think that is much of a risk.
  9. What does this mean for Steele next season with the Cubs? Will they still offer him his final year of arbitration, or is that too much to pay a guy coming who will be limited back coming back from surgery?
  10. This sounds like what I used to do for Saturday Morning cartoons. Gotta plan that stuff out so you don't miss anything!
  11. Cristian Hernandez no doubt HR. That's fun.
  12. Burl Caraway sighting in South Bend. I had no idea he was still in the organization. Remember when he was drafted and he was being talked about as a reliever with a fast track to the major leagues. Here we are 4 years later and he's still in Single-A. For those in the know, is there any prospect potential left in him?
  13. Why is it always the Zach Zaidman inning that lasts 45 minutes?
  14. Let's hope this is just Steele's annual elbow issue that turns out to be nothing serious.
  15. I'm with JD. Overturned because the runner deserves it.
  16. My God, it hurts to watch Bruce Boche walk out to the mound.
  17. This offense is fun, and unexpected in the cold Wrigley weather.
  18. That seems about as likely as Justin Turner in CF.
  19. The thing that sucks about the combination of Brujan's IL stint and Workman's slow start (in very limited at bats) is it probably means Workman doesn't get any time to adjust to MLB and the Cubs will replace him with Brujan as soon as he is ready. If Brujan hadn't got hurt and had been DFA'd, Workman would have had a little more rope.
  20. This is not in question. But he is also pretty bad within the given restraints.
