I was cracking up at how much he was enjoying all the attention when he was coming up for his AB. He was digging the hell out of that Pharoahe Monch.

THIS was your post in the middle of Contreras exploding into our lives? -
Plus Addison is hitting with a .905 OPS over the last week.

You can easily fit both of them into the lineup with all of the OF injuries right now.

Yeah, but Coghlan is a terrible fartknocker regardless of the matchups. Hell, Montero is, too. YOUTH MOVEMENT YOUTH MOVEMENT YOUTH MOVEMENT

And play Almora; horsefeathers Coghlan.

The Pirates are not the Cubs, though. That's a key factor. If the shoe was on the other foot, the Cubs could go out and spend money or trade minor leaguers to try to close the gap. The Pirates don't have the ability to spend money. They don't have the ability to trade minor leaguers for huge upgrades because they need their minor leaguers to be successful. But that's the point; they're likely not in a position where they need to go out and spend a bunch of money. Plenty of people picked them to be a WC team this year, so unless this season is likely indicative of a downward trend instead of a disappointment then they're likely to be right back in it next season. They don't have to be the Cubs, in any sense, to do that.
-
I mean, we've had numerous conversations here about how pretty much everyone would love it if the Cubs were consistently competitive; I seriously doubt anyone except the saddest meatball was bemoaning the idea that that might mean regularly competing for the WC instead of winning the division.
-
Again, who's talking about giving up forever? And the Pirates finished 1 game ahead of the Cubs team that beat them in the playoffs with 4-5 rookies and spent on 3 top 15 FAs, something that the Pirates will never be able to do. The Pirates still could very easily beat whoever they'd be playing in the WC game. You ARE kinda talking like they're basically doomed to fail.
-
Competitive simply has to be "can we make the playoffs," which they very easily could do next season. They certainly don't have to be as good as we hope the Cubs will be next season to do that.
-
Right; THIS year. It's not like we're looking at a Pirates team set up for a prolonged stretch of badness or mediocrity. Trading a valuable and beloved players really isn't something they need to do or should do when it's hardly a stretch to think they'll be competitive again next season.
-
That seems VERY unlikely.

My dad and I ran into Soriano during his single season with the Nats and told him he would look great in Cub blue and Soriano just laughed and laughed and laughed.

You kinda have to with a last name like that. It's a built-in nickname.

Shirtless Cahill pics plz "There's just more of me to go around!"

The guy is going to be a 35-year-old catcher when he's FA next; it's not like he'll really be in a "contract year"-type situation so much as, "damn, I hope I can get a job as a backup, IF I can even keep my job playing baseball." I doubt he'll have much of a problem making $14 million as a backup while clearly on the back end of his career. Not to be a prick, but he'll be 34. And yes, you may be right. I was just leaving open the possibility that at 34 he might be hanging onto some ideal of maybe finding a 2 year deal as a starter with some team that has a huge hole at catcher. I'm just hypothesizing. Obviously I don't know the guy or anything. Maybe he's totally content being a backup on a really good, really fun team like the Cubs. 2015 is looking more and more like an outlier in the backslide of his career. Sure, he might decide he wants a big deal, but unless he has an amazing bounceback this year he'd have to be in pretty serious denial. Everything he's done and said indicates he seems to be a pretty good team guy, so fortunately it seems unlikely he's going to press the issue when he's making out like a bandit and making $14 million.

Damn, I knew Rose had gotten bad, but not KNICKS-bad. That's depressing. -
I was kinda scared you were going to unleash a shirtless Lester on us.

This sounds like a name you'd read on a grave in Colonial Williamsburg.
