    D needs to score once if they want to win.

    The bears did struggle against the bears last week. I never understand why announcers never correct the stupid stuff their partner say. Just say, " you mean Baltimore"

    No effing way.

    First one was an orange urlacher from my sister in law. Never had one until I was older. Then my wife got me a blue urlacher. I bought myself a white Briggs and t Harris. Then a Favre as part of a Halloween costume. Last was a throwback cutler my wife bought me. She also bought me a Kane in black. Baseball jerseys are ridiculous so only a Castro, Ramirez and soto shirt.

    Hahahaha, yeah that's it, "matchup trouble". This defense can do this against anybody.

    I've never been in favor of tanking and still think it was a dick move by these guys.

    Well if that ain't all just a big ball of nothing.

    An infielder predicted to WAR over 2.0 next year? No, I'm not sure the Cubs do have something better than that, pathetically enough.

    If it is code for anything it is "we are poor". And their financial situation is going to guarantee they can't keep it up in perpetuity.

    They still rank top 10 on both sides of the ball though. Part of it is they don't have to be great this year to still stick out. There's plenty of mediocrity out there to hide a team's flaws. There's mediocrity in every NFL season.

    I don't think it is all that hard actually. It's just that when you are the A's you have to let average guys go when they are poised to make $5-7 million. The Cubs can hold onto and pay average guys but also pay for a couple stars, and they absolutely should. I'm certainly not advocating the avoidance of stars. It's foolish unless you absolutely cannot afford them. And no matter how hard they pretend, the Cubs are not in the A's situation. Those guys help you go from contention to domination, and the 1 seed.

    Pissing my pants? I'm lamenting the fact that with the market apparently higher than previously thought, the Cubs may be even less active than previously hoped. If you could read with any semblance of proportionality you may have figured that out.

    What a cop-out. It isn't asking you to be a juror sentencing somebody to death. If you are an adult American you've probably heard enough about it to have an opinion.

    and that's not misleading? (separate years of 4.60, 4.61 in that time) ok put it this way: he just set a career high in xFIP, with 4.29, and still only 4 qualified starters in baseball had a worse mark than that Why qualified? There's 15 guys that pitched as much as him with a worse mark.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    we're really doing this right now. for Jason Vargas. he, of the 4.63 career xFIP. there are no words. If a guy who is a tick better than Travis Wood is getting that kind of money, that is the market.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    It's almost as if major league teams have lots of money to spend.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    lolwut? Okay, I'll give you that one. Headley's OPS+ was very good. 120, vs. Stewart's 97. Didn't look that far... I looked at Headley's .773 OPS vs. Stewarts .781. Stewart's 18 HR vs. Headley's 4. It's very possible the Cubs favored Stewart's power potential and over Headley. Stewart had a .454 SLG in thep revious 3 seasons leading up to the trade. Headley had a .387 SLG. try again

    I like to think our front office has voodoo beyond fangraphs pages. Okay, he was also younger, cheaper, had a better pedigree, had yet to hit his prime years, and was coming off of a better offensive season and cost us Tyler Colvin and DJ LeMahieu instead of our best pitching prospect (assuming Garza trade had been done already) and our cheap, fan-favorite starting catcher who put up 10+ wins over the previous 4 seasons. He was one year younger and coming off an abysmal season after breaking his wrist. Headley was coming off a better year and was at least as good over the previous three years.

    So now Ilitch is ok with trading him? Doesn't make a lot of sense. Illitch hasn't been doing so well lately, maybe he's no longer calling the shots. They just told him they were opening more franchises in Texas and needed his signature.

    uggghhhh

    The blackhawks aren't available nationally on wgn. The cubs aren't gaining national fans with wgn. That benefit stopped in the 90's specifically because it was no longer true that it was unique. Kids in 2013 aren't coming home from school with only 1 or 2 options to watch, and them being sucked into the cubs as a result. Aren't some of the Hawks games on WGN America, or is that just the Bulls? Not that it matters because at most its like 5-6 games a year, but I thought some were national. And yeah this. This isn't the 90's where the Saturday or Sunday night game is your national game of the week and that along with Cubs and Braves games are it if you don't live in a baseball market. Between ESPN, Fox, TBS and the MLB Network (not to mention MLB.tv) there are nationally broadcast games on almost every day of the week, in addition to hundreds of other TV channels, youtube, hulu, netflix, etc etc etc available for a 10 year old to watch when he gets home from school. I have never seen one game on WGN America. I believe they play there on Sundays, and I have to settle for the opposing teams' broadcast on Center Ice. Although, a glitch in the system cancelled my Center Ice this month and I haven't bothered reordering it. WGN games are strictly an enticement to the local people who don't have cable.
