    Why? Norris? As much as some of their starters are overachieving, you aren't going to replace, say Locke, with Norris. Is he an upgrade over their other guys? i didn't mean norris, i meant the fact that they didn't do anything at all. they had areas where they could have improved, and a good farm system. i'm not saying they should have traded any of their top guys, but it feels like they should have done at least something. None of the other major offensive pieces are being moved either, and I have no doubt the Cubs are asking for the moon for Schierholtz (as they should be). It's a big-time sellers' market.

    They do, but at the moment there's only one such channel. Wouldn't be enough for a full load of baseball.
  3. Andy
    I wouldn't.

    What I'm worried about is that they would seem to have no leverage...where are they gonna go if WGN doesn't ante up? Will the other locals be bidding? Couldn't they just move all of the games to Comcast? Would create logistical nightmares, especially in April when Cubs, Sox, Hawks and Bulls are all playing.

    Padres closing in on Ian Kennedy per Rosenthal.

    Curious of the justification. Wonder if we will find out.

    IsoD was .067 going into that AB. Not remarkable in and of itself, but didn't he have 1 walk in the first 25 games or something?

    I knew this would be a long inning the second JD said it shaped up as an easy one.

    Coaches' poll comes out Thursday, while the AP preseason poll comes out Aug. 17. I say it every single damn year but this is the longest off-season ever. Give me football.

    Travis Wood is some kind of man.

    Two massacred flyouts and one normal flyout. SHUTDOWN CLOSER! Nice win, boys.

    DAGGUM RIGHT WE'RE PLAYING THIS UNDER PROTEST

    Doing this again huh?

    It wasn't even close to being a strike. I'm not watching, where did it miss? Pitch f/x could be off a foot in any direction and that'd still be a strike. It was way low. I'm not sure where Gameday got that but none of the 3 pitches Jackson tried to get Sandoval to chase were anywhere close.

    Make indisputably the right move by going after shitty Francoeur and he bloops a double. Go figure.

    Trade is now official, and Soriano will bat cleanup for the Yankees tonight.

    Neither Coleman nor Rosscup are on the 40 man. I'm curious to see if Cabrera looks good for a few weeks in Iowa out of the pen if he gets a shot some time in August since he's already on it. Given that we just traded Soriano for a guy who's not on the 40-man, I doubt that's an issue It could be if they plan on bringing Scott Baker or Ryan Sweeney back at any time. Good point. I forgot Sweeney was on the 60-day DL.

    Just a couple of tweets prior, he'd said the Yankees would be paying 8-12M. Weird.

    The Yankees came to Wrigley last time the teams played, so if they follow that the Cubs will go to Yankee Stadium next year.
  23. Andy
    That turn is why the Cubs keep playing Barney
  24. Andy
    I saw that too. That's unreal. Sub-.300 ball
  25. Andy
    I was too. One of the most awesome things I've ever seen at Wrigley. Little-known fact: That was also Samardzija's first big-league win, as he pitched the 12th and 13th innings in relief. (ETA: actually his 2nd. Apparently he won a game in 2008 that I forgot about.) It didn't mean much in the big scheme of things, but I won't soon forget how hard that guy worked to get better on defense going into 2012. Could have won a Gold Glove, which was a ludicrous thought when he first got here.
