Yeah through 2021-22. Wow. Although the number isn't all that bad in the short term. I think they will find a taker. Yeah, like some desperate playoff contender that thinks they're just a goalie away...

4/22 Reds (Cueto) @ Cubs (Wells) - 1:20 pm CDT, WGN
bukie replied to haubrich91's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
More than anything, I think it demonstrates well how interchangeable the vast majority of the position players are for the Cubs at this point. -
Atlanta loss today means Indiana has clinched the 3 seed and has nothing to play for in the rest of the regular season.
-
No, magic number is 1, as the Heat win the tiebreak (would have better conference record). Also, Pacers' magic number for the 3 seed is 1, and the Sixers magic number for the playoffs is also 1.

Someone who doesn't care about the product on the field. Someone who is just there to be there.

The Cubs traded Moyer away two years before Starlin Castro was born.

Still unsustainable, but at least it's fun while it lasts. -

Nope! Wells is in Chicago in case Dempster can't go on Sunday. -
Latest from Miles is that Wells is up in case Dempster can't go on Sunday. Dempster having an MRI on his right quad.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 4-20-12

From Bruce Miles this morning: -
Mr. Crenshaw, what you just wrote is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent responses were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this board is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
-
Yes, that's the primary issue. The manager doesn't have enough fire.
-
Ok, everything in that unreadable blob of strawman is wrong. Read the actual information given, brush up on basic sentence structure, and try again.

Hitting is down everywhere. The Phillies could very well be that bad offensively all year. The Pirates could very well be far worse all year. The Mariners, despite actually scoring runs to this point, could also be far worse. You seem to be working under the assumption that everyone who is doing badly will continue as they are (Soriano, Byrd, Soto, Stewart, bench), and everyone who is actually doing well will fall off a cliff. There's a simple logical fallacy there if you care to realize it. I'm not at all saying that. But Soriano, Byrd, and Soto all OPS'd in the low .700's last year. Stewart somewhere in the .400's. Even when they start hitting "better" they'll still be sucky hitters contributing to a sucky offense. If Soriano, Byrd and Soto all OPS in the low .700's they'd be above average hitters this season.
-
On a slightly related note, how long will it be before Andrew McCutchen isn't given a hittable pitch for the remainder of the season?

Yeah, nobody is hitting worse than their career norms except for Byrd, Soriano, Soto, and the entire bench. Really, the only two hitters hitting unsustainably well above their projections are LaHair and Clevenger. Are you arguing that this offense isn't pathetic? Are you reading anything? It's below average, more hitters are hitting unsustainably bad than unsustainably good, and several offenses are doing far worse.
-
There's less to learn from playing Baker regularly than there is playing Stewart regularly. And please work on sentence and paragraph structure.

You must not be watching a lot of baseball this year. The Pirates have scored half as many runs as the Cubs this year. Ha! Check back in a month and see what it looks like. The Cubs haven't been good offensively, but they're hardly the worst offense in their division, let alone in baseball, without even considering them as one of the worst in history (I mean, look at Seattle last year). Their pitching, however, is one of the worst in baseball so far, and they've given up more runs than anyone except Boston. That is the kind of thing I don't think will keep up, as the starting pitching is better than they've shown in two weeks. Do you mean the 2010 Mariners? That was an horrid, abysmal offense. 2011 was really bad, but they were nearly 50 runs worse in 2010. Wow, that was two years ago already? Yeah, that offense was atrocious. Ichiro was the only regular with an OPS over .700 (and he was just .754). Russell Branyan was the best hitter on that roster.

Theo is gonna set a lot of records. Most years as an MLB executive without winning a division title? Despite a lot of second-place finishes, the Red Sox did win the division in 2007.
