    So that's 3 fairly well-hit balls that Lynn has stopped now, right?

    Dale's Lineup Dice

    He also accused Verlander of juicing with absolutely no evidence whatsoever for some reason.

    I'd probably feel differently if it were actually my job, but speaking as someone whose life goal through college was to do basically exactly what Pat does, it's hard to see a circumstance where I'd take off rather than call a baseball game on the radio.

    Castro just clobbered the [expletive] out of a homer to left field like a week ago. Anonymous has a bad short-term memory

    Game is on now.

    BABE MURPHY

    Would be a fly ball away from the lead if Ransom's dumb ass hadn't gotten picked off.

    X-rays negative, likely just a bruise for Navarro. Incredible.

    Neal dislocated shoulder per Twitter reports

    According to the Cubs website, no. Do they have Koyie Hill stuffed in a locker somewhere just in case of a situation like this? Dear God, don't even joke about that
  12. Andy
    According to the Cubs website, no. Well, there will be one soon.

    7-day concussion DL for sure. Hell of a play by Navarro.

    Shelby Miller leaves STL game after getting hit in back of pitching elbow by line drive.

    Because WCIU hates America

    I find the bit about one of the brokers being from Alabama to be a bit humorous. JFF should have been wary of anyone with nefarious attentions hailing from Alabama. Johnny Foot [expletive]? Johnny [expletive] Football. It's pretty dumb

    Well, that's the best fake rally the Cubs have delivered in quite a while.
  18. Andy
    HOLY [expletive]
  19. Andy
    NOW we've got ourselves a fake rally.
  20. Andy
    C'mon, guys, we have to get the tying run to the plate before we can start talking about fake rallies. Way to look that one in, Riz.
  21. Andy
    Get out of it? They'd given up two runs already and it was a solo homer. I'm barely following it on gameday. Looked to me like Utley tripled to tie it at 5 and the next 2 guys grounded out before the homer but gameday either messed it up or I misread. The next 2 guys did ground out, but Utley's triple drove in a run and the groundout scored Utley

    After 0 runs in 18 innings while I was at Wrigley this weekend. Good times.

    Well, if you were going for it, I doubt you'd trade your best reliever for young players. And we probably wouldn't have traded our best young pitcher for a 1B who needed at least half a year at AAA. You would if you thought Cashner was an injury liability (which we already had a reason to believe), thought Rizzo was going to be a cornerstone player (somewhat TBD but certainly way more good than bad) and thought a decent SP in Wood could give you more value than a reliever (he didn't last year, but it would still have been a worthy gamble, and he's been far better than Marshall this year).

    The abandonment of 2012 also put them in a hole they tried but failed to dig out of in 2013, and we may yet see more of those consequences in 2014 and 2015. I'm far from convinced that what we gained in an expedited farm system will make up for the seasons we lost. We've locked in the downside and are praying for enough upside to cover it. I think part of it will depend on how Kris Bryant turns out. Considering he's essentially the only thing we gained out of punting 2012, I'll say it's a pretty substantial part. Anthony Rizzo, Travis Wood, Luis Valbuena, Jeff Samardzija, Arodys Vizcaino, Kyle Hendricks, Christian Villanueva Trading for Rizzo and Wood would've been smart moves (I'd even call them slam-dunk moves) even if the Cubs were good, so I'd disagree vehemently that those were part of the 2012 tanking.

To be fair, the prospects we got out of the midseason dump-off of Dempster and company would probably also be included in that.
