  1. Because he's not even close to being effective right now and it's going to take more than an occasional appearance to get it fixed. A DL stint where he can go down to AZ and work on mechanics or whatever the hell the problem is is probably the best solution for everybody. You have to think he's interested in signing another contract for next year so it's in his best interest to do whatever he needs to so he can actually find the strike zone again.
  2. the downside is that you wasted a pick on a bad QB. That sort of thing sets back franchises for years and ruins careers. "Paying for it" has absolutely no value. Jersey sales goes to everybody else. Not saying that it isn't a bad thing for an organization, but it doesn't cripple them like it used to since those rookie contracts aren't nearly as ridiculous as they used to be.
  3. Down to 0.6 fWAR for his Cubs' career. Can we call that a failed signing? The signing was ok, they just didn't get rid of him last season when they should have when his numbers weren't awful.
  4. That was so much more glorious being in the stadium and the sheer silence of the crowd when it went in. Sooooooooo amazing. So many blues fans tears. So great.

  6. sorry, can't watch. will be at blackhawks gam.
  7. That seems like the best idea if they can get him to agree to it.
  8. That's a better performance than I expected from Jackson with the way the day started. Now let's bring in somebody from the pen to give up some more to really put it out of reach.
  9. Him, Szczur, and Watkins are really the only 3 choices of guys already on the 40 man. I'd have to think that would be the choice since none of them are exactly tearing up AAA.
  10. I really dislike the delay of game rule. And that was typed before the goal.
  11. They look faster to me tonight than they have the rest of the series. I thought the same thing last year for the first few games against Detroit and then they started looking faster to me. No idea if I have any idea what I'm talking about, but that's what I see.
  12. The game would be over with a Cubs win if Castro could have picked up a grounder and stepped on 2nd. Veras isn't coming anywhere near the closer role for a while, plus Rondon or Grimm will get a shot before he does.
  13. Yep, definitely. The only other guy I really trust down there to do it is Rondon and he'll probably get the 8th like on Monday.
  14. I'm liking this recent trend of the opposing pitcher being at/near 100 pitches in the 6th inning. Shark throwing around 12 pitches per inning and I think Hammel was at a pretty low number yesterday before throwing a bunch in his last 2 innings.
  15. I bet Lee Smith could still get some guys out if he worked out for a couple months.
  16. Man, these are some late, late whistles on these foul calls on both ends. And Kirk blows it. Nice.
  17. This is partly Thibs fault. You can't play these guys as many minutes as he has in a playoff game and expect them to have any legs to finish the game, especially when you don't have a guy who can just take the ball and get it done on his own.
  18. No kidding. I'm starting to remember what it feels like to watch an ML team with a chance to win every night out. Can we play these guys about 30 more times?
  19. I love JD. "And doing all this without Travis Wood in the lineup tonight." Is Putz one of their better relievers still?
  20. That would be funnier if we didn't have a less than great outlook ourselves.
  21. He has the best non-offensive bat flips on top of it.
  22. Castro has been really good defensively so far this year.
