  1. It’s so depressing talking about spending floors for the bears and Blackhawks. We should be talking about ceilings and ways to finagle the cap instead of collectively bargained mandated spending levels not yet reached
  2. Cubs have accounted for 11% of all Tampa losses this season
  3. Because they weren’t any good to begin with and returning to form
  4. What the hell are you talking about? Getting fired in the middle of your 4th consecutive lackluster season is hardly unique to any sport.
  5. I was thinking that may have been the case but they were already in the free fall when that move happened. It may have been the substitute URL that destroyed this team
  6. Jed is signed through 2025. Presumably they won’t fire him until at least after 2024 so they aren’t double dipping on a presidential salary. They could even let him work through his contract. But if they tumble my guess is they’d put limitations on what Hoyer can do, so as to not handicap his inevitable replacement. Hard lines drawn on the cap, limits on years offered to free agents. If 2025 starts out good and they end up contending, he might get a short extension, otherwise they’ll start looking for his replacement in the middle of that season.
  7. I know I'm generally more of a pessimist than some, but come on guys, Hendricks is hanging by a thread. It would be nice to get 10 not terrible starts out of him this year. Then let him go.
  8. Over .500 by end of Memorial Day still on the table
  9. Mets announcers are really good. Very positive toward the good cubs
  10. Hey hey, I saw Matt Mervis do something
  11. https://theathletic.com/4522876/2023/05/23/nhl-mock-draft-2023-pronman-wheeler/?source=user_shared_article a two round nhl mock draft with screen shots of the 5 post Bedard picks for Chicago. I still think they do something with those picks other than make all 5 selections. But you can make a case that the organization has plenty of space for all those guys
  12. Beat writers have speculated that Jones is in line for the gig. In theory it makes sense that he would be for the next 2-3 years. But eventually he won’t be the obvious choice and stripping him of the C would be more difficult than just never giving him one.
  13. 55% of the vote
  14. I doubt it. Maybe some low A pitcher who might one day be a major league reliever.
  15. The best the cubs can do before Memorial Day, is get back to .500, but not over. They could theoretically get over .500 ON Memorial Day, if they sweep the next two series and beat Tampa in game one. They are on pace to lose 92 games. They need to go 62-54 the rest of the way to finish above .500. That’s an 87 win pace, which may be a bridge too far for this squad.
  16. I’ve never been a big fan. He’s such a dullard. And constantly hawking his own cheesy products. Does he still do that stuff?
  17. Upcoming cubs Mets series has a chance to be a doozy
  18. Just turned this in mlbn. Pat is talking about multiple guys getting picked off 1st. Time to get the rest of my chores done today.
  19. None of them are any good at anything
