Don't get your hopes up. It's more likely the Cubs play short handed for a week while Happ avoids an IL stint. -
What happened?
-
Sounds ready
-
Just think what he can do when he spreads that Tucker money around on a few declining veterans.
-
Tiebreaker is also a concern.
-
Hoyer has nothing but time. No need to rush!
-
Ryan Pressly is literally unplayable.
-
Of course, Andrew Vaughn 😀
-
Cubs relievers racing to the front of the line to be the next guy DFA'd
-
Yes, it is a problem. There isn't a single legitimate spot starter on the bench. If only there was money under the luxury tax that could have been used to solve that problem.
-
Take your time Jed.
-
This team is a mess.
-
Why would anyone ever pitch to Tucker?
-
How do you feel about watching that for the next 4+ years?
-
Seiya needs a break in the worst way, which isn't possible when there is no legitimate backup on the roster.
-
Yep, me too. I can't say that Sandberg was always my favorite player of the group, but he was always ONE OF my favorites. And looking back over time, he was the guy who really defined that era and my childhood as a baseball fan.
-
Way to battle Seiya.
-
I'm wracking my brain and I can't really think of an individual memorable Sandberg moment from his playing days. I was too young to remember 84, although I have seen replays of the Sandberg game countless times over the years. He was just always there, a consistent presence in the Cubs lineup and on defense. Last year, a few weeks after the statue unveiling, I saw him walking through Gallagher Way with his blue jacket on. He stopped to talk briefly with a few fans and take a few pictures. I considered "should I or shouldn't I" but ultimately decided to leave him alone and let him carry on wherever he was going. He looked great and I expected him to be around for years to come. In hindsight, I should have talked to him. A photo, a handshake, or just a simple thank you. It won't be the same without Ryno around Wrigley.

Nope.
-
The recent bullpen success was always fools gold. There are still some good arms, but not enough.
-
Man, Seiya. Just because you didn't make the All Star team doesn't mean you suddenly stop playing like a major leaguer.
-
I dont think it has quite hit me yet, but this really sucks... Jed said it last week, but there were absolutely 3 sports heroes of my childhood : Jordan, Payton, and Sandberg. And now 2 of the 3 are gone way too young.
-
Dammit. Who cares about this game anymore?
-
Just gonna let them keep teeing off to save Flexen an inning?
-
PCA as a cleanup hitting slugger is/was fun, but he should probably be hitting 6th with Busch cleanup and a righty in between them. Of course that means Happ would need to show signs of life to go back to leadoff.
