Probably because Ian Stewart didn't want wat to eat big apples and date the Statue of Liberty, AY, OH, AMIRITE. -
Not that it matters, but Cot's either has that wrong or they are just using the luxury tax number rather than the actual dollar amount. He got an $8 million signing bonus and then gets $11 million a year from here on out. Call it what you want; I don't agree with him saying that Jackson is overpaid like they threw an ungodly amount at him.

Edwin Jackson is getting $13 million a year through the 2016 season. According to Fangraphs he's been worth the following: 2009: $16.4 million 2010: $13.9 million 2011: $16.1 million 2012: $10.1 million 2013 (so far): $3.8 million

I'm just taking too much of a bath this year; unless they look to be a lot better it'll be much easier on my bank account if I downgrade to a couple of cheap seats next season and then try to bump back up for 2015 (hopefully).

Defensive metrics confuse the hell out of me; I would have figured Wellington's value would be dragged down by how (seemingly) bad he's been behind the plate. Is it because more of that is blamed on the pitcher than what I'm guessing? Is his ability to throw out runners pushing it back up? Someone explain.

Dude, first you had the killer gator aid in a tree stuff and now this?!? Save some for prime time!

http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/breaking/chi-wrigley-night-games-20130508,0,1878827.story wow, 46 night games and 35 day games next year. Will be interesting to see how they distribute those night games. I'm assuming this means more Saturday night games. Season ticket bill rising... Yeah, I have a feeling I'll be downgrading my current ones for the time being.

I don't think so. I've always been of the opinion that one or two high-quality relief pitchers are just as important as your rotation guys. Man, that's more relevant right now than ever. The current FO has shown an ability to identify pretty solid starting pitching at a very good value and as awful as the pen has been this year, I have a hard time disagreeing with Kyle on this particular point. It's sorta true; yes, the starting rotation is working out nicely so far, but Vizcaino ideally projects to be better than some of those guys. You'd want to see if he can pan out as a starter first and then worry about moving the Feldmans and the Villanuevas of the world to the bullpen.

Well, balls.
-
Well, son of a biscuit.
-
Oh yes, because the come back victories have been so plentiful and the games blown by the bullpen have been so rare. I do like Rizzo going deep in the bottom half though, hopefully with a guy on base. Y'know, I'm starting to think you naming yourself after players slowly destroys them. Hmm... perhaps I should try "Yadier Fan"? "Marmol Fan."

Oh, good, ANOTHER wild pitch.
-
Oh [expletive], it's only the 8th.
-
Just put Gregg in; Rizzo is ending this in the 9th.
-
Yes, it's not Bourbon's fault for not following a well-known rule or anything.
-
Cubs are going to still win this.
-
I just might be OK with Russell intentionally walking Beltran and Holliday and then facing Craig just so whatever bullpen abomination comes out in the 8th gets to miss them.
-
Way to justify WSR's love, Sweeney.
-
Dammit, Castro is really making me sad right now.
-
DON'T RUIN THIS FOR ME.
-
That was an enjoyable inning. Now shut 'em down, 'stache.
-
Mmmmmm, schnitzel.

Just to clarify, I meant "people being annoyed with Rose" when I said "this."
