  1. He's pretending he's getting all this secret inside information that indicates that Almora may be turning a corner, when in reality anybody making such claims is only doing so because his results are there. Scouting has nothing to do with it. ok first of all sharma is awesome. i HIGHLY doubt he's pretending anything. secret inside information? wtf? he likely has scouting contacts that are saying there have been tangible adjustments/improvements made that coincide with the good results. where the hell do you come up with this stuff? The only thing tangible are the box scores. Whatever, it was a joke. Calm down killer.

  3. That's not random, that's "stop staring into the stands you idiot, she's mine".
  4. Did that say suites? It should say sweets, Ricketts gives him a bag of candy for road trips, after loading up at drug stores the day after Easter.
  5. Would those reports be "box scores"? No, it was eyes that saw the swings that led to the HR. The result didn't really matter, it was all in the swing itself.
  6. They are already at the sink or swim stage of their careers. They are what they are and seasoning isn't going to develop them further. Also, the cubs need 25 guys on the active roster. These two are filler.
  7. well then it's just a gawker story.
  8. that's about the only thing that can be said without getting oneself in trouble.

  10. I wonder who the friends commentary was in reference to. Maybe Samardzija, considering all the talk about Hendry and the ND coach being buddies and that playing a role in the Cubs drafting him and then giving him a big league contract to convince him to give up football?
  11. What exactly in there was remotely stupid? He's saying that the commentary about how good Russell is makes the Daily News article (which claims the Yankees could have easily beat the deal) look even worse than before.
  12. I hate stuff like this. There's nothing that makes the Cubs special or immune from the playoff crapshoot. There's no reason they can't be the Oakland A's. Not unless they also get Bud Selig to help them solve their stadium problems.

  14. Being on record saying it doesn't mean it is true. What is his motivation to say the guy they drafted wasn't the guy they liked best? Not letting the industry know how you evaluate players. If you make it seem like you actually strongly consider drafting a pitcher early even when you actually have no interest in doing that, they can't be certain that you are going to take the college bat every time. Maybe instead of all the injuries this year hurting the Cubs since they would have taken one of them, they actually welcomed the news to give them an excuse to draft a college bat that was ranked lower by most.
  15. Being on record saying it doesn't mean it is true.
  16. I kind of think no. They seem pretty adamant about taking elite bats whenever possible, and I would bet they had another bat in mind when the selection was still in doubt.
  17. Well,, that and he wasn't available.
  18. and all of them with the big club at some point next year, possibly some of them as groups They should roll them out like they did the throwback jerseys and era-centric promotions this year. A new call-up for every homestand with pre-game festivities and ceremonies that invite every player that once wore their uniform number (excluding Sammy Sosa of course).
