    Wow, I didn't figure you'd need it spelled out for you so obviously. The Dodgers are spending, spending on anything and everything. If they only get a few targets from one pool it doesn't really matter because they are in several pools. The Cubs are only swimming in one pool and should be dominating it, but they are not. If you aren't going to spend any effort/money to improve the major league team than you better damn well spend a hell of a lot more money/effort in your self-imposed kiddie pool.

    To what league is he referring?

    I just hope that we can start spending like the Dodgers, who have nabbed....2 for 6. and everybody else in baseball. If the Cubs were spending money in other areas you'd have a point, but they aren't, so you don't.

    That's not good. Is it? He played way better than Campbell in spot duty last year. I doubt he's going to vault ahead of Campbell. They only have 2 QBs and one just suffered a concussion. It makes plenty of sense to have McCown come in and work as Campbell's backup until Cutler can return.

    You cough up the ball you don't get it back.

    I do not understand fans who try to pretend they can't spend on the now and rebuild the system at the same time.

    ...how? This is pretty typical Simmons article, and more than he's written about the Bears and their fanbase all year. And if he can relate to anything, it's overconfident fanbases. How is it terrible? It's unreadable. Typical Simmons doesn't mean it's well written, or makes any sense. Simmons can't relate to anything. He's got one guy who works for him that is a Bears fan, living in LA mind you, so he bases his entire thought process on that.

    I don't know that it's bad, but it's probably the worst of the available options. That's probably not anywhere close to true. There's got to be dozens of available worse options.

    The Cubs have money and a desperate need for capable arms to fill out the rotation. I don't see how this would be a bad thing.

    If anybody spent like a drunken sailor on foreigners the past years its' the Cubs with that one guy they signed just to give them a leg up on signing other guys. Most people went for what was reported and/or a reasonable level.

    Honestly, I'm not. Neither am I. The Cubs seem way to conservative right now and there too many teams willing to drop stupid money. The one thing they have seemed willing to do is spend money on guys they can control for several years. They've overspent just because they can and are more willing to do that than trade their quantity guys.

    Huh, I thought she was indeed due Sunday. Wasn't that what brought the issue up in the first place? No. In his original response he mentioned Monday being the day, he was just hoping it doesn't come early for some reason. Probably because babies have a tendancy to come earlier than expected.

    Doesn't sound like he believes he was wrong.

    This is true.

    Agreed. McCarthy is a funny guy on twitter and stuff, but on the mound he's just a worse version of Rich Harden. In what way is McCarthy any version of Harden? He's a good pitcher who has a terrible time staying healthy and pitched for the A's prior to (potentially) pitching for the Cubs. That's a very vague comparison. Harden was a dominating while able to pitch pitcher while McCarthy has been a nice arm to have around when he's been able to pitch.

    I'll gladly admit to that. However, I've no doubt a well-read nerd and baseball fan like yourself is aware of that photograph's existence. No? looking at picture books doesn't make one well read

    It shows him on his hands and knees biting his lip.

    Leave it to baseball fetishists to overemphasize the meaninglessness of a picture. It shows us nothing. A good sports photo shows us something that matters. Not a guy sliding into third.

    He wasn't exactly raking. Vitters performed above expectations in AAA this year but he didn't do anything special. Had he, then maybe he makes an appearance. The guy was about 50th in the PCL for OPS. I doubt Jackson would have been much higher if he stayed in AAA and they pretty much had the same ugly start in the majors. 46th, and all of one guy ahead of him was younger than him (Wil Myers, and Rizzo was the only other guy even the same "baseball age" as him) I believe Iowa is also one of the least hitter friendly of the PCL parks. You can put in qualifiers all you want, but he wasn't raking. He was doing well for his age and better than expected. But for a guy who most people have little or no interest in, you have to do a hell of a lot more than an ~860 OPS in the PCL to vault back up lists.
