    I liked Len and Bob more in that department (like Len and JD more in the actual baseball-game area), but anytime Len veers from the game tends to be a fun conversation.

    I remember everyone on here started wondering why the hell we wouldn't just give him back around June and maybe even before. And we never did, I don't think.

    I spent way too much money on Ruggiano in a fantasy draft because those jackwagons said he could go 20/20 with an .800 OPS. He didn't even last one week on my team. You bought justin ruggiano in an auction league? Yes, I'm the 1% on Yahoo

    I will always wonder if maybe they knew the team sucked and was hopeless and wanted to give a job to one of their failed prospects just because they liked him. Well they definitely knew the team sucked.

    52, by the 1903 Pirates. It's a long season, if we don't get it on this stretch we'll have more chances. '85 Astros went 42 for a more-recent mark. That's one to shoot for.

    Even though W/L doesn't actually mean much of anything, it's still horse [expletive] that Shark's record is on year 3 in a row of being ruined by a tanking team

    I literally never listen to the Reds announcers on MLBTV. The only way I ever would is if they played the White Sox in interleague. Oh [expletive], now the Cubs have to score TWO runs to win. Too rich for their blood

    Baez and Bryant could both be up here next year and doing well and Castro and Rizzo could still be ok and this offense is still going to [expletive] suck in 2015 with black holes in the other 5 spots in the lineup.
  11. Andy
    To be fair, given our offense the expectancy at 1st and 2nd and 0 out probably wasn't that great anyway. But seriously, [expletive] that move.
  12. Andy
    Oh, we bunted so Kalish could chase a horse [expletive] pitch in the dirt and strike out. I see.
  13. Andy
    Why did we bunt with Castillo to get to Kalish? Good lord
  14. Andy
    That's odd. This team is more interesting to me than those. It isn't to me. Everything interesting about the 2014 Cubs, save Rizzo and Castro, is in Iowa right now.
  15. Andy
    It really is incredible how sick everyone is of this [expletive] show already. I lasted much longer each of the last 2 years.
  16. Andy
    it's actually been the Cards so far (.600 OPS)...we've been about 100 points better than that And if that's still the case in September, I'll be a happy (or at least less disappointed) man. Not betting on it.
  17. Andy
    I agree that all of what he's saying is ridiculous...that said, I wouldn't go quite that far. Exaggeration, probably, but the point remains the same - if Theo's little prospect experiment is really his only plan for making us good (not that I'm saying gscool thinks that it is), we're gonna be bad for a long time, because some aren't going to make it.
  18. Andy
    This I don't care about. Doesn't fit in our window and we were never going to out-bid the Yankees. Plus, outfield is not a need. This is a joke, right? The outfield is a nightmare of awfulness. Right now it is, look at our system. The odds of Almora, Soler and Bryant all becoming starter-quality big league outfielders without incident are about the same as us making the playoffs this year. The overwhelming likelihood is that for one reason or another, at least one will not become what we hope they will. If Theo's really banking on that, we really are screwed.
  19. Andy
    Plus, outfield is not a need. I don't necessarily think the Cubs should've paid Ellsbury a boatload of money, but this is simply a ridiculous statement. We have maybe the worst offensive outfield in baseball, including the Astros now that Springer is up.
  20. Andy
    I'm already excited for the two B-level prospects we'll get for him.
  21. Andy
    Supposedly the Cubs' pitcher selects the road uniform, or at least that was the reason given for why the Cubs even bothered to bring the "Chicago" grays to Pittsburgh for the opening series (which led to Lake's snafu).
  22. Andy
    Cubs wearing the blues for the first time this year.
  23. Andy
    My best guess? 2016 or 2017, depending on how lucky we get with pitching injuries. Yeah, I won't argue that. Although I could see playoffs next year with a few things going right. But I think we'll have a long run of success, but so will the Cards and Pirates. My prediction is 8 playoff appearances out of 10, starting in 2016. I don't think anything this front office has done in their time here has given me even a sliver of hope that they are capable of putting on that kind of run. Nobody makes that kind of run in the modern MLB, and all they've done so far is put together a top-5 farm system, something half the teams in the league have every five years or so. And that's setting aside the fact that STL and Pittsburgh are both loaded with young talent as well as having a head start on being good at the MLB level.

    We're on pace to lose 108 games, so that's an interesting interpretation. (Yes, I know we're not likely to actually lose 108 games, but we're also not likely to be near .500, so I'd say another 90-loss season, which would not qualify as 'lose little' IMO, is very much in play.)
  25. Andy
    We have a better chance of beating Indy than Miami, but hot damn would it be sweet if we could somehow beat Miami. We'd have to beat them eventually anyway, so whether it would be in round 2 or 3 would only be a difference of how many games it took to get there (captain obvious).
