  1. This one caught my attention
  2. Given the position we're in and the control left on Shark, I'd rather keep him and hope he becomes more amenable to an extension than drop my expectations. I wouldn't settle for a "good enough" trade for him. Me too. IMB mentioned how the Royals were raked over the coals for how much they gave up. If we can't get a team to give up more than most pundits assume he's worth, I'd just as soon keep Samardzija.
  3. I wouldn't count Bonifacio or Ruggiano to be contributors next season. Bonifacio is a prime trade candidate and Ruggiano is his year's Schierholtz. Bonifacio might be out until close to if not past the all-star break, so if he was a trade candidate he probably won't be now.
  4. It's increasingly obvious that the Cubs Way pamphlets do not at any point mention calling for a pop up.
  5. whatever that K rate is exactly, I love it. Shade over 20 percent. One less K and it would be exactly 20
  6. I just can't stand him. He's awful. He's been awful from the minute he showed up.
  7. Len and JD don't know. Speculating Rondon may be 'tender' and Renteria is giving him a couple of days. Ramirez is at least as good anyway, so it works for me.
  8. We had a good couple of months last year, Pedro. It's over.
  9. I can't believe Tony Gwynn Jr. is hitting leadoff in an MLB game.
  10. Petition to immediately replace both current road unis with this one.
  11. That does not sound at all easy.
  12. In that case he should be a shoe-in as an AS reserve, no? Rizzo and Samardzija (and perhaps Hammel too) are already after ASG spots. I'd be surprised if there's room for Valbuena.
  13. Does he still have an NTC? I thought we gave him one in the original 5Y/10M deal Hendry gave him, but that would have expired by now, no?
  14. Not that it matters much (and not that we developed him much), but Rizzo could be counted in 2012.
  15. Military appreciation day in Pittsburgh. I can't [expletive] stand the camo. Putting aside any issues of offensiveness/jingoism/etc, it looks terrible. You're offended by camo? Personally, I don't care, but some (Uni Watch's Paul Lukas) don't like decking people out in camo for any occasion remotely related to the military.

  17. A 2.54 ERA and 3.03 FIP with an over 3/1 K/BB ratio is not a #3 on any team unless you are absolutely hoarding aces.
  18. Are players who run hard all the time hurting the club? That's the necessary corollary to your statement. Some of them are. Every time someone argues everyone should always hustle, I remember when Aramis Ramirez was shelved because of an ankle injury he got running out a ground ball on which he was out anyway.
  19. If only I hadn't picked Brian McCann as one of my players
  20. We not only scored but did so 3 times. A win was asking too much!
  21. I'm going to the game tomorrow. The Cubs have lost the last 5 times I've gone and haven't scored in the last 2. That streak is toast no matter who makes the thread.
