The funniest thing about Cards' fans indignance is that it has a very "Steinbrenner-Mattingly" vibe about it, as if there were no way the Cards would put up with a manager that was as unkempt as Maddon was yesterday.
-
Great piece by Christina Kahrl on the Maddon hiring, and what it really means for the Cubs: http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/53197/skip-the-stats-maddon-an-inspired-choice Also a great point about why it was smart to not hire Sandberg beyond the stats reasons: nobody cares when you fire Sveum or Renteria after a year or two. People would care, however, if you unceremoniously dumped Sandberg after a couple rebuilding years.

It's expensive for a LOOGY, about right for a long reliever, and cheap for a 4/5 starter. So, depending on his role, it's a good deal. -
I hate to contribute to that show's ratings but.... agreed 100% Have a feeling I'd be really disappointed with that show since the Kaplan to Maddon/Theo ratio will be too lopsided.

Maddon ends the press conference by buying a shot and a beer for all the reporters there. Your move, Paul Molitor.
-
So, usually press conferences are boring. This was not boring.

“I have a life outside of baseball… being the first to arrive and the last to leave doesn’t impress me."

Oh this is gonna be good... what'd he ask? Accountability for Castro? He basically asked how Dusty and Lou (who he presumably thinks are on the same level as Maddon) couldn't get it done and why Maddon was gonna be different and topped it off with "do you know what the hell you've gotten yourself into?" Hahaha what did Maddon say? "Why would you not want want to accept that challenge? In this city? With this ballpark? With these players?"

Joe Maddon on analytics: ”I use them a lot. You ever see that card in my back pocket? That’s dripping with analytics.“

It's unfathomable to me that the screaming dildo Dave Kaplan is the #1 sports journalist in Chicago.

"I know it's going to happen. I know we're going to be successful......I'm going to be talking playoffs next year."

"You can tell I'm pretty excited about being here. And another thing your city is wonderful, I love it here."

no, because that would be stupid.

So is this thread the start of putting every desired cubs transaction in Cubs discussion, for the sake of mojo?

I do not think him is who you think him is.

Thibs ball with offensive options is great. Bulls have 4 offensive options they didn't have last year, which makes it fun to watch.
-
Yeesh. That escalated quickly.

Castro to Braves
bukie replied to imb's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Honestly, I'm not sure there's a single player on the Braves I'd want for Castro. -
Six hours until the committee reveals what they think. Seven hours until the public decides that a 4 team playoff is dumb and a silent committee with no standards isn't a perfect way to decide playoff participants.
-
Rutgers' first two B1G games are home vs Northwestern and Penn State. They win both of those games, and they probably finish 2-16.
-
To be fair, Wisconsin hasn't started beating the Wisconsin-City schools by 80 each yet.
-
B1G is 11 of the top 40. Crazy.
