  1. There's no way we're getting Happ, that has to be a smokescreen. If we do trade for him I'll join SCS in the heroin-injecting parade.
  2. Nothing will beat the moment when I was watching Baseball Tonight's trade deadline addition when Gammons said that Nomar didn't get traded and then about 2 minutes later it was reported Nomar was traded to the Cubs. Haha. I remember I was visiting family and obviously we didn't have smart phones or whatever to check the news, but on the way there I was listening to the Cubs postgame and they said basically that the Cubs were not going to make any moves, so I kind of came to terms with it only to find out like 45 minutes later by my Boston friends texting me about how devistated they were. In a way I will remember those pre-smart phone moments like that way more vividly than I will remember refreshing my phone constantly for 6 days in a row waiting to see if Jon Lester signed with the Cubs. Absolutely. I had to go to work at my movie theater job that day and since I had to leave I assumed we weren't getting Nomar. Then two of my friends actually swung by the theater to tell me that we had and assure me Clement wasn't involved (I'd made no secret of the fact that I was against trading Clement for him). That was a great day.
  3. Makes it all the more important the Cubs get Ross if they want to get in
  4. Usual [expletive] of them deciding to score runs the one [expletive] time they ever give up any, but what they do doesn't really matter anymore.
  5. Soler strikes out on two straight balls
  6. Yet another huge Rizzo hit off a lefty. Keep bringing those guys in, other managers
  7. Jimmy [expletive] Nelson with an absolutely perfectly pitched at-bat with over 100 pitches in the 7th. Sure why not
  8. If Castro is so [expletive] useless that Maddon has to hit and run with him up every single time to avoid a DP (which doesn't even always work), why are we playing him?
  9. Chapman is signed through next year. The trade would be for 2016.
  10. So us not getting a run in from 3rd with 0 out against Nelson while Milwaukee gets one in from 2nd (and counting) against Arrieta might end up the difference in the game.
  11. Ross and Kimbrel are both locked up through 2018, so if the rumors of us going after them are true I'd say that qualifies.
  12. Honest to God, I'm not saying he needs to be fired but it's incredible how you don't even hear a whisper of this from anyone even as everyone in baseball agrees our offense is bad.
  13. Absolutely [expletive] ridiculous how bad he is.
  14. Wonder what his brother Bob thinks of that
  15. Joe said he wants to get Bryant and Rizzo a day, so expect a Rizzo-less lineup this weekend too.
  16. I'd be quite agreeable to a deal with those guys as the headliners. I seriously doubt the FO is going to move Javy right now.
  17. It seems almost impossible for me to imagine us outbidding the Dodgers for Price. The Cubs likely wont have to. in 2016 the Dodgers will have the following Kershaw,Wood,Ryu,Anderson. They aren't going to grab both Price and Greinke just to shove a low 3ERA pitcher like Ryu out the door. The Nationals literally just did this with Tanner Roark like 5 months ago
  18. I'd like Leake. He's no stud or anything, but he merely needs to be ok to trump anything we're getting from the guys in his spot
