  1. We can't catch a horsefeathering break right now.
  2. I am ok with moving him, I think Contreras kind of makes him more expendable, but for a huge return. A Jose Fernandez type return, not for a reliever.
  3. Do they really think this is the only year we get to go for it?
  4. I had such high hopes for John Smoltz, that was dumb of me.
  5. James Loney being good at defense is annoying.
  6. So I know Kris has been red hot, so this is probably a bad time to ask, but is Randall Grichuk the best player in the NL now?
  7. Jake seems to have recovered a bit though, small wins. Maybe if we could muster a few runs against Bart, lol.
  8. It's maddening how this team can go into offensive funks so easily.
  9. Gah, this series really turned on that Peralta inning, so glad he's on this team.
  10. Yeah, I would say we are even after that.
  11. A team with James Loney hitting clean up is gonna sweep us, in 2016. Baseball is so stupid.
  12. It would be cool to shake out of this funk, this has not been fun.
  13. LMAO at OJ Mayo, couldn't wait a couple more years to become a junkie?
  14. We used Cahill the very next inning. Madden [expletive] the bed. Cahill has poor splits versus lefties and they had two in a row coming up, plus a switch hitter after that. Yeah, it wasn't a great alternative, but Peralta has nothing.
  15. We used Cahill the very next inning. Madden horsefeathers the bed.
  16. How much longer so we have to wait until we go get real bullpen help?
  17. i remember looking up gary scott's minor league stats one time, and wondering why in the hell he got any hype at all. i guess the cubs' minor league system was so pathetic that he was the best they had to offer at the time. Who was the third baseman that followed him, kevin orie?
  18. Now is the time to spin him for Randal Grichuk, before he becomes Gary Scott.
  19. Everyday that guy throws logic out the window in order to put down the Cubs. Not shocking.
  20. Even if he never grows he'll have value as an elite defensive player around the mount and he'll run into double digit homers and enough hits from natural talent alone But his approach is endlessly frustrating it's true I feel like you can see he's making attempts to change. Hopefully the light clicks and he really takes off. But, if he doesn't, like you stated, he still is super valuable.
  21. So, Lester is our best pitcher right now. I think that contract might end up being pretty good. Sure he is a pitcher and they all break, but he seems like he should age well, until he breaks. Damn pitchers.
