    This feels like the bulls drafting Noah 7 years ago

    I wonder how differently this would have all played out had Rose gone to Texas A&M.

    When is it ever a good idea to expend more than minimal assets for backup MI and bullpen spots? I can understand the sentiment that the Cubs should've invested more into the OF and 3B holes in the lineup, but I have no issue with them unloading middle IF depth and pen arms to shore up SP, 1B and organizational depth.

    Well, now half the league is in first place in the West division.

    Time to start a massive winning streak chock full of luck corrections. Tonight we have Edwin Jackson 0-2, 6.06 ERA http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/5842.png&w=65&h=90&scale=crop&background=0xcccccc&transparent=false fresh off a record setting performance, up against Hiram Burgos http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/32572.png&w=65&h=90&scale=crop&background=0xcccccc&transparent=false making his major league debut, as the Brewers finally needed a 5th starter. Lineups: Cubs: D DeJesus CF S Castro SS A Rizzo 1B A Soriano LF N Schierholtz RF D Navarro C L Valbuena 3B D Barney 2B E Jackson P Brewers: N Aoki RF J Segura SS R Braun LF R Weeks 2B J Lucroy C L Schafer CF M Maldonado 1B Y Betancourt 3B H Burgos P

    Oh man, Rizzo missed a meatball by just a little.

    You're added...and on deck. I'm fully prepared to start a game thread in the middle of May.

    I'll hop into the rotation wherever so we don't end up going through the full rotation every 2 weeks.

    Either way, it isn't likely that the Cubs' long term answer at 3B is currently on the 25 man roster. That doesn't mean that the team is awful and irreconcilable, though. Right now, the offense is performing about as expected overall, with a bit of bad timing luck. The starting pitching is over-performing while at the same time being at less than full strength. The bullpen is vastly under-performing, leading to a lot of knee-jerk reactions over two weeks of play.

    Considering the Rangers won't be returning to Wrigley Field until around 2016, I have a feeling they'll get these next two in.

    Atlanta getting blown out at home by Toronto tonight.

    Same way they play games in climate controlled environments every night in the NHL?
  14. bukie
    Holland is somehow cruising through 5 and up to 85 pitches.

    Soldier Field. Damn. Not a huge hockey fan but I thought the first one was pretty cool. Went to the college classic at Soldier Field, and that one was fairly cool, but the environment was more frat, less fan.
  16. bukie
    Soldier Field.

    Today's shocking news: Shabazz Muhammad will turn pro.
  18. bukie
    They already have races.

    The Cubs should just install an Omnimax dome, solve two problems at once.

    Week #3

    bukie replied to Quakers's topic in Fantasy Sports

    I thought in the past we gave a grace period to the end of the current week to switch players off the DL.
  21. bukie
    I was mostly referring to last season. We'll see where it ends up this season. They got Anthony Rizzo for a relief pitching prospect with a history of arm injuries. That's pretty damn good for last year regardless of what their scrap heap free agents did (not that DeJesus was some massive failure for what he signed for). Plus Paul Maholm, who was then flipped for a top 50 pitching prospect.

    You get cranky when I'm right. I wouldn't say that David is never cranky.
  23. bukie
    Hawks have now clinched no worse than the 2 seed.
  24. bukie
    The Cubs are really bad because of things Theo Epstein does, and few of the cool things he promised are actually happening. These things practically file themselves.
  25. bukie
    It's not all bad; maybe that gigantic file cabinet will fall on you. If the file cabinet is for all of Kyle's baseless dismissals, it's already the size of a room.
