  1. true Especially if Javy goes all Javy and is up in maybe August. Alcantara could possibly hit his way up too. Maybe Hendricks? If this team plays like a .500 team and adds some of those intriguing story lines, this year could be interesting to watch longer than any since like 09. I cannot envision any way that Javy is on this year's team.
  2. I believe that will still be the preferred option, yes.
  3. I should be more optimistic than I currently am. Positives: Samardzija, Castro, Rizzo, Hammel, Jackson lately, pythag. record. If you told me in March that they would be outscoring their opponent with substantial improvements from Castro and Rizzo, I would've be pleased. Yet, I'm not. Probably because if they go 60-59 the rest of the way (which will be tough considering the likelihood of dealing away their best pitcher(s)), they will finish 76-86.
  4. Just in time for my summer down the shore surrounded by Phillies fans.
  5. Mike Olt wins the TriHonda dealer Drives of the Game on My9
  6. okay
  7. It's all well and good to say it shouldn't, but prolonged exposure to excessive losing could very easily have a negative affect on his career. Or maybe all the losing will make him appreciate winning even more and have a positive effect when the team is good. Unless there's actual evidence behind it it's just silly conjecture. Then maybe you shouldn't be conjecturing if you think it is so silly.
  8. Derek Jeter on that '98 team? That could have been pretty sweet to replace Jeff Blauser with Jeter. Although the only thing that probably would have accomplished is not needing the play-in game (arguably the greatest event in Cubs history from '84-'02). Probably would have helped them make it a little closer in 2001 as well.

  10. Read into it what you will, I think it's a pretty clear jab at the powers that be for wasting early quality years of Castro. I read that as more of a jab at Castro than the FO. I'm not sure where you get the FO angle given that picture. That is a stretch, even for you. Screw you [expletive]. It's pretty easy to interpret the story that is being told. The Yankees are a winning organization that win every year and won a lot when their superstar shortstop came into the league and are still winning now. Yankee Stadium is where you go to win. On the opposite field, Wrigley Field, the front office is openly trying to lose as much as possible for several years and there is no pressure from anybody to try and win anytime during Castro's contract. Losing is not just accepted but expected. The Cubs are wasting Castro's value on a stupidly long rebuilding project while the Yankees keep ignoring every call for them to scrap their aging roster and just keep winning. The one thing these organizations have in common right now is that an 85 win season is unacceptable.

  12. I'm not talking about "not addressing" defense, but defense did not have to be as big of a focus as most people insisted.
  13. don't shoot the messenger
  14. That is only because so much of it is all so repetitively terrible.
  15. And your HC is an offensive guru. This illustrates why I was more than willing to see them draft offense early. The line could use the pipeline and there is plenty of room for skill position talent.
  16. As long as the ball eventually reaches the wall that dot is going to be at the wall, right? Or does it mean that is where it made contact with the ground?
  17. Increasing his night stats. I don't know, 7:00 start time in Texas, it had to still be fairly light out.
