    In seriousness, though, I don't think this team is going to be that much more unwatchable. Has there been any scuttlebutt that we'll move someone of note besides Garza?
  2. Andy
    Will be? :twisted:

    I'd say Wood and nobody else. I can't imagine the Cubs get more than 1, and like David said, Wood is clearly the most deserving (peripherals or not).

    Soriano and Castro struck out on nearly-identical pitches in the dirt. Jedi and apprentice.

    Is MLBN using the Cubs' feed?

    Solid fake rally.
  7. Andy
    Schierholtz was out.

    If nothing else, Strop is really quick. Got great jumps to first on the aborted groundout and on that last chopper.
  9. Andy
    What a ridiculously late call...whatever it was.

    Meet the new Marmol, same as the old Marmol. And nice block of that pitch, Castillo.

    Thank goodness. Who's next on our hate list??

    Weird because one year they got to the ECF, the next year their superstar tore his acl in the first game and last year we made it to the second round despite injuries to Deng and Hinrich. Not sure where we being tired comes into play. I guess you could make an argument that we could have beaten Miami in the ECF but that's a stretch to say we lost because we were worn out. Or you could say playing so many minutes in a strike shortened season contributed to playoff injuries to Rose and Noah. There is absolutely zero correlation between knee injuries and having been overworked. None. Plantar fasciitis is something just about every single 7-footer in the history of mankind has had, and managing minutes will not make it go away.

    You are a very dull human if you think it is fun to watch the process that has been going on here. Agreed. My buddy is a Giants fan, and we were discussing how the Giants have "tortured" their fans the past few years with all their close games. You want torture?? Try being a Cubs fan for over 30 years, then get back to me. I can think of a lot worse teams to be a fan of than the Cubs over the last 30 years. I started watching them in the 70's as a kid. So what have been the shining moments? 1984, 1989, 2003, all major disappointments...along with a bunch of horrible years. Being a Cubs fan is not easy. He wasn't arguing that it's easy. But it would be much worse to be a fan of, say, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh or Baltimore over the last 30 years.

    Not a terribly important story, but Urban Meyer is lying again: http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/9448352/urban-meyer-knew-ohio-state-buckeyes-reported-florida-violation-source-says

    Now Muskat is saying Marmol was not DFA'd.
  16. Andy
    That was the plan from the start, you know. Someone mentioned that we have to send LA more money if they got rid of him and someone else signed Marmol. Go figure.
  17. Andy
    I've been watching plenty of baseball on MLBTV, but rarely ever watch a national game unless the Cubs are in it.
  18. Andy
    The Cubs made the playoffs the first two seasons after Samardzija signed. Players don't look at this stuff the way fans do.
  19. Andy
    Boy, that was a pretty strict definition of the baseline. Crisp didn't move far out of the path.
  20. Andy
    I saw somewhere in the madness that is my Twitter stream right now that we're sending some money with Marmol, like $2m or something. Yes, Yahoo's Tim Brown says we're sending 2M with Marmol, although none of the Cubs' reporters I follow have mentioned it.
  21. Andy
    Now Yahoo's Tim Brown is saying we're paying half of Marmol's salary. I like it less.
  22. Andy
    Sappelt recalled per Muskat. Sweeney to 60-day DL.
  23. Andy
    No one has mentioned the Cubs shipping any money to LA apart from that slot, so at this point I'm guessing that's it.
  24. Andy
    Yeah, I don't know much of anything about the minor leagues, but that seems like a lot to give up for just slot money. I'm kind of hating this new system.
  25. Andy
    I knew Rusin was starting today - just assume he won't be kept up. I've been wrong before of course.
