  1. Kaepernick at 13 is patently absurd as well. He has a wart or two but for crying out loud the dude's made the NFC title game 3 straight years.
  2. Ken Rosenthal says the Cubs should trade for David Price:
  3. Second-half tank mode is fully engaged.
  4. All we need to do now is get more than one of them and we'll be golden.
  5. they definitely said that on csn. i saw it myself. Yes, I did a double take. They're bringing him up. Not unprecedented I suppose (Leake) but unexpected to me.
  6. I think general consensus would be yes, though that doesn't mean he's actually likely to get traded.
  7. Rizzo HR swing makes me happy. And I totally didn't realize he was so close to the NL HR lead.
  8. Yeah, moving positions at this point caught me off guard. I do kinda think we'll see him in September or even sooner now. I doubt the service time is as important as it is with Bryant since Javy's not the virtual lock to be somewhere between an above average hitter to MVP caliber and is more likely to talk extension I would think. Also, he'll need to go through a period of striking out 40% of the time, so it would be nice to get that over with. Most important part to me. If the Cubs maintain hope of contending next year, barring a big trade Baez probably needs to be good to make it happen. Might as well burn his traditional terrible first 100 or so PAs now.
  9. Oh God the Neifi saved us posts used to be hysterical.
  10. Drop Chris Davis Add Paul Goldschmidt
  11. I was at Wrigley for Andres Blanco's only Cubs home run, so that was fun.
  12. I think we might still see some one-team careers, but I'd be surprised if any of them lasted 20 years. So few players last that long to begin with, let alone on one team. Trout is probably the only one that might fit the bill right now.
  13. The only reason I remember Kieschnick is I believe Corey Patterson took him yard in the 16th or something of a 2003 (?) game in Milwaukee to win.
  14. Rizzo's dad looks exactly like him.
  15. [expletive] those teams underachieved. Ugh I know what you actually mean, but it's worth pointing out that team won 97 games and somehow actually underperformed their Pythagorean, so it definitely didn't underachieve.
  16. Damn it. Should be 10-8. Would be 10-9 if Baker had been just a little less quick to that first pitch.
  17. Uh, they said those bullpens will still be moved under the bleachers they just won't widen the doors as previously proposed. Well, criticism recanted then. I have MLBTV, but won't deal with the delay if I don't have to. Most of the time MLB Network picks up the Cubs feed.
  18. I voted for Sale, I thought he was the best of the five candidates.
  19. Chip Caray has said Barney's on the paternity list, which he isn't, and mentioned the bullpens being moved, which they're evidently not being anymore. Good to see he does his research.
  20. Lake [expletive] sucks - none of the three pitches he swung at were in the zone
  21. Bosh going back to Miami per Woj. 5Y/118M.
  22. nope, he's signing a max deal with Miami (check other thread) This is a Woj report, so I don't doubt its legitimacy. Doesn't mean Wade wouldn't still sign with Miami, though.
  23. It'll be max dollars for sure, but there haven't been any reports on length. I would guess a four-year deal, as LeBron's grand letter would probably ring hollow if he then signed for only 2 years or something.
  24. I was going to post something about how the Cubs' overall crappiness cost DLee that MVP more so than Dusty's lineup construction, but then I went to the MVP voting standings from that year and Morgan [expletive] Ensberg finished 4th behind Lee. Holy crap.
