you can hope in one hand and do something else in the other -
I don't understand how this keeps being said. The Cubs are already 2/3 of the way through a race for the playoffs and very much in contention. i don't think he realizes that being "equipped for a playoff run" means having a playoff berth. No I get it. I don't think we are going to make the playoffs and even if we do, I don't feel this team would be successful in the playoffs. If they don't do anything the chances of that first part being a self fulfilling prophecy are high. And as for the second part, the odds are against any one team being successful in the playoffs, depending on how you define successful. I would say making the playoffs is successful and where you go from there is largely due to chance. There's no such thing as a team built for the playoffs. They are all just variations of being built to make the playoffs. The Cubs probably need another starting pitcher and maybe a bat. And they should trade for one because they are never going to field a badass team of nothing but homegrown prospects.

he fell off a cliff before the talk began, but I'm sure there will be a story or two claiming that is true

What does "all in" mean? I don't think what is being discussed here comes close to people expecting all in. Nobody is talking about all in. What they are talking about is the stupidity with remaining cautious and hoarding all prospects. This nonsense that it's just not time to try yet and we are too far behind to risk losing even one prospect for a chance at a playoff game.

You don't have to be convinced, it just has to increase your chances.

He's a lot older than Starlin Castro. And on top of that, he took his first expedition down that cliff in 2010 and apparently didn't like his brief return to the top of that cliff in 2011 because he's been extremely mediocre ever since.

Canadian dollar is 77 cents now, so if he asks for $30M/per, they'll have to go $39M/per, won't they? (i'm probably in the minority when it comes to my lack of total utter desperation for adding a #1 SP, it's just kind of funny to consider) I'm confused. His contract will be in USD, so he'll have more buying power by being in Canada 81 days a year. why would his contract be in USD if he's employed by a Canadian company? that's how north american sports work. players are paid in greenbacks. When oil is cheap, Canadian teams struggle, when it's expensive, they profit.

Cardinals sign new TV deal
jersey cubs fan replied to Irrelevant Dude's topic in General Baseball Talk
People are spazzing out because the Dodgers "bought" a fairly meaningless pick in the 30s. Wait until they "pay" $25m for the 3rd overall pick to the Marlins or something. They have the means to block any trade that involves money changing hands. -

Where am I spazzing out? All I want them to do is to improve their chances this season because they're a competitive team and it irks me when Cubs fans act like they shouldn't bother because the offense has struggled. The FO has assured us they'd make those type of moves when they were competitive, so it's hardly an unrealistic expectation. Last time I checked, the trade deadline doesn't end till tomorrow. How does that change the point that [expletive] fans wanting the team to remain patient and not try to win are ridiculous?

In a vacuum, yes. I don't know what this is supposed to mean. Neither does he. But the I don't want to see them try crowd has to tell themselves they feel that way for a reason.

You take them both and there you have

good just in time for the cubs to come up there I'd rather him stay in Milwaukee and not going to one of our 2 competitors for a playoff spot Because wild card contention is better than not wild card contention and the bright future bs has already wasted 3 full seasons of present plus the two before that while the owner twiddled his thumbs if the mets are going for it to a degree, theo has to do something, we have been ahead of them all season in the wildcard Why, exactly? Why do we have to sell pieces of a very bright future to try to beat the Mets for a Wild Card spot?

Well that's silly Can't help it. I have an irrational love for this guy. I don't care if he strikes out 300 times a year, as long as I get to see him pimp out 30 home runs. You will not get to see that.
