  1. Absolutely [expletive] ridiculous how bad he is.
  2. Wonder what his brother Bob thinks of that
  3. Joe said he wants to get Bryant and Rizzo a day, so expect a Rizzo-less lineup this weekend too.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. Yeah, I'm not sure what a comparable cost to us would've been, but that LA gets a guy like Wood (who rumor has it they're going to flip for Price, but they shouldn't), and they're in our league with their infinite resources, [expletive] sucks.
  8. First sign the season is close: preseason coaches' poll is out. 1 Ohio State (62 1st-place votes) 2 TCU (1) 3 Alabama (1) 4 Baylor 5 Oregon 6 Michigan State 7 Auburn 8 Florida State 9 Georgia 10 USC 11 Notre Dame 12 Clemson 13 LSU 14 UCLA 15 Ole Miss 16 Arizona State 17 Georgia Tech 18 Wisconsin 19 Oklahoma 20 Arkansas 21 Stanford 22 Arizona 23 Missouri 24 Boise State 25 Tennessee
  9. He's having a terrible season. Will be interesting to see the angst from us if/when he goes on a tear with STL It's adorable that you included the 'if'.
  10. They're getting him for future seasons, which isn't a bad play frankly.
  11. Holy [expletive], would never have guessed that.
  12. Yeah, now the Cubs can blow games in the 8th instead of the 9th. I'd rather use Rondon in the highest leverage spots. Several guys should be able to handle the bottom of the order with a 2-3 run lead. To be fair, today's 9th was the high-leverage spot with Reyes, Arenado and Gonzalez with a 1 run lead. I agree with your hypothesis, though. Still should be someone better than Motte in the 9th.
  13. RD of -3 for the series and we win the series. Not ideal but they all count the same. Now hopefully the Brewers unload some people and we beat up on them this weekend before the PIT/SF stretch that will go a long way towards determining our season.
  14. =D> =D> =D> =D> for Lester. Now we need some insurance.
  15. That's what I hate most about it. People excuse it because, 'hey, you tried', when in fact you ran yourself out of an opportunity. But where I disagree is that you are coming at it from the perspective that it fails every single time when it fact it works out more than it doesn't. It needs to work out far more than it doesn't to justify it. Isn't it generally accepted that you have to successfully steal like 75-80% of the time for it to even be a neutral effect on your offense?
  16. Seeing as how Motte's thrown 39 pitches the last two days and Soriano 40, I'm guessing neither is available. Excellent. We might actually get our best relievers pitching late in this one.
  17. Foolish Rockies, tossing a LHP against Ross. They fell right into our trap.
  18. If either Motte or Soriano pitch in this game I'm going to be supremely annoyed.
  19. Olney and Bowden both mentioned the Cubs as a team in on the Price bidding now that DET has reportedly put him on the market.
  20. His adjustments have really been impressive. Plenty of reason for optimism that he will become the 'Barry Larkin' that Beane promised when he sent him over.
  21. Couple of big K's by Lester to get out of that. Up to 9 through 4.
