Um, "slap"? http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view4/2158808/semin-slap-o.gif I'm too classy for such savagery. -
Well, at least they'll only end up using Wood and Jackson tonight.
-
Man, I'd love either. Plug either one in LF and let Schwarber focus on sticking at catcher. Gamble on Baez being able to have some kind of turnaround when he comes back up and go with whatever you can get starting pitcher-wise.
-
If I had to pick one guy among the rumored names - it would be Hamels. This pitching staff just doesn't have the horses. After Lester the only guy who has pitched a full season + playoffs is Hammel. That said, the payoff of a deep playoff run for the Cubs will be massive. They should do bat and impact arm, and really kinda have to. This is definitely the year to do it. The public on a national scale has never been more interested in what Theo and friends have been doing, and I assume they can get bored if nothing happens. Spend some money and prospects at the deadline to make some serious money for the next half decade+ off of a playoff run... Totally agree with the bold; they need both. That said, both would cost too much, even with the resources they have, so I'd prefer to deal big for a bat and then, hopefully, deal smart for a decent pitcher.

Man, Wood is easily the most unlikable guy on the team. Every time he tries to look exasperated, like he's getting squeezed instead of just sucking, it makes me want slap the piss out of him.
-
I'm cool going anywhere and playing anybody this season. Making the playoffs in the first year of whatever we are calling this would be awesome. Damn right.
-
Nobody's said anything like that here tonight.
-
Seriously, can some of you just stop pretending like they're not simply a really good team? Wood is often a bad pitcher and he's facing a good team.
-
That's the second time he's said it tonight! How does this guy have his job? Enough people around him must know he's terrible.

Part of me thinks it'd be better for the Cubs to play the WC game on the road because I worry how Wrigley fans would react when the first thing goes wrong after the failures of 2007/2008. It's a lock the crowd would be terrified; the place was a petrified nightmare in 2008 even before the first loss. Chicago fans across all of the sports have gotten REALLY bad along those lines; what little I saw of the Stanley Cup I was baffled at how quiet the crowd was for long, long stretches. With the Cubs I guess you can kind of justify it from a really dumb meatball standpoint, but the Blackhawks are a good team in their 3rd championship series in, what, 6 years? The fans should have been going bonkers nonstop. When I was at the Bears/Packers NFC Champ game a few years back it was crazy how nervous and quiet all the Bears fans were from the beginning. Watching the NBA Finals I was struck by how jacked up the Golden State fans were. They're facing the best player in the world, their team hasn't been there in 40 years, and they're just losing their minds.

I'd rather trade for a decent starting pitcher and a good bat. JMO, the cheap cost controlled pitcher is way more likely to happen in the offseason than during the season. Gonzalez, Garza, Shields...some of the recent pre-FA starters traded were all offseason moves. For the deadline I want a bat, Hamels, and Chapman. Would take all three...Daniel Murphy of the Mets? I hear he's on the way out this deadline. Yeah, but I want them to play for the postseason this year. There's no reason for them to not gun for a WC spot, and waiting for a starting pitcher isn't going to help that. If I had to pick I'd definitely prefer the bat, but they've got assets up the whazoo. Time to start actually using some of them for trades like they've repeatedly assured us they would do.

Savor the flavor, Molina.
-
Bah. I thought there was maybe going to be some dirtbag redemption for Wood.
-
You really could just post this at random times throughout the game and each time it would be deserved.
-
Man, the sad sacks have driven Crack Wilson to sanity. That was unexpected.
-
Yowza. Touche, Wood.
-
This seems like a very poor decision.
-
Man, I'd much rather leave Roach in than bring in Wood.
-
Hey! A "clogs the bases" got dropped!
-
Too many streaky hitters, they love to strike out, their bench being terrible.
-
Sadly, the Cubs flaws will follow them.
-
Man, this team is real damn dumb sometimes.
-
Please keep swinging your ridiculously unsustainable hot bat, Baxter.
