  1. do the new divisions start in 2013? Yikes, the East is a bear New divisions start in 2014.
  2. OMG that was hysterical. I'm cracking up.
  3. I don't think he's even on the Mt. Rushmore of worst closers, sadly enough.
  4. I can't believe Kevin Gregg sucks said no one ever
  5. Adding to that: 9-game B1G schedule will begin in 2016.
  6. Going back to that hit and run, are opponents just going to execute that perfectly all year? Because that'll get annoying really quick.
  7. Without looking it up, I'm guessing no team in the history of sports has ever had to go through the playoffs without their two best players in consecutive seasons. Or most of the playoffs, I should say.
  8. I'm not eager to get rid of DeJesus, but I guess if there's a good deal to be had...
  9. Hawks and White Sox both on CSN, WGN would rather show something called "Nikita" and a rerun of something called "Oh Sit!" instead. WGN is absolutely dead in the water if they don't win at least a partial Cubs' TV contract post-'14, aren't they?
  10. DeJesus trade value is what we should be exploring. And here's to hoping that Schierholtz can have a DeRosa-esque breakout and we cash him in July or the Winter. I don't know much about trade value math, but I'm thinking DeJesus is probably more valuable to the Cubs than he would be to other teams. Schierholtz might be a solid sell candidate.
  11. Trade him by tomorrow, his value will never be higher! Nice win today.
  12. Seems like Villanueva has been very economical this season.
  13. I doubt we'd lose much. If the Cubs' value was contingent on them having a good team, it wouldn't be as high as it is (obviously).
  14. Wrigley's not on the National Register of Historic Places already?
  15. Both teams off May 9, Texas in Milwaukee the series before. It'll be then. But would they play a day/night doubleheader on 5/9 with both teams having to travel to play the next day? Or would they play an old-fashioned back-to-back doubleheader? Or would they play 1 game on 5/6 and another on 5/9, avoiding the doubleheader altogether but forcing the Cubs to play games on 27 consecutive days. Not many good options there. It would probably be a straight doubleheader - that's my completely uneducated guess anyway.

  17. I don't see how it depends on that at all. They chose to reduce payroll despite the fact that they could afford it. That's all there is to it. I'm just saying that if something else is reasonably deemed a higher priority, then it's not that cut and dried. I mean, there are a lot of things they spend money on that they could dump out and ship to MLB payroll. What does "afford to provide" mean? Well, given that MLB has taken away the ability to outspend other teams in the draft and internationally, I have to imagine the list of alternate financial pipelines isn't all that long.
  18. We're on the verge of one of the most epic fake rallies ever.
  19. Castillo added to the list of homers on any normal night.
