    Well, at the very least there are still division battles that do matter. Even if Pittsburgh is the leader for the wild card, they don't want to have their first shot at the playoffs to be a potential one and done scenario. The Dodgers are streaking, but they do only have a 2.5 game lead.

    In the last 4 weeks they've added Olt, Grimm, Strop, and Arrieta when they very likely could've gotten different players with lesser warts/greater potential that were not as close to MLB ready. I can't agree at all with "They have shown zero interest, to date, in emphasizing the now over the longterm value of any asset." Arguello actually put it pretty well just now: I don't think he put that well at all. It's a meaningless comment. What they theoretically "could" have had isn't particularly meaningful, since it's all speculation and they were trading away a bunch of flawed guys in the first place. You can disagree but you know you are wrong. How is any of what they've done emphasizing the now over the longterm value? Now isn't a guy who might make the team next year. The fact that they acquired guys who can play in AA or AAA doesn't mean they are emphasizing the now, at all.

    I would be absolutely shocked if the Cubs hesitated in an opportunity to trade Wood for Bundy, notwithstanding having their doctors go over his medical reports. They have shown zero interest, to date, in emphasizing the now over the longterm value of any asset. They have not been hesitant to acquire, and pay for, guys with current injury/rehab situations. And I would guess they view Travis Wood's results as a Cub as better than what they expect them to be going forward. Things like what "message you send by trading your all star" are completely irrelevant to this group. I would think the only reason there would be a chance they would hesitate would be if they regretted the path they have taken already, but I cannot imagine that is the case. It would be pretty much a text book example of a value-oriented transaction they would be likely to jump at.

    Did he change his twitter handle? It would appear so.

    Doesn't seem like there is a fit for us, short of doing a deal around Samardzija. Travis Wood for Bundy? http://assets0.ordienetworks.com/images/GifGuide/michael_scott/The-Office-gifs-the-office-14948948-240-196.gif you wouldn't make that trade?

    What does that even mean?

    He's 8th? The highest he can possibly is 5. I have him 6 behind Pierce Johnson. "Not anywhere near that low" is not accurate. He should be solidly 5th. 5th - 8th isn't an enormous gulf.

    It's not controversial, it's one [expletive] douche of an alderman being a whiny child No kidding. A drunk fan could drop something over the railing of the bridge? Then put fencing over the bridge like what exists on highway overpasses. Or just make it enclosed. The threat of somebody dropping something off a bridge is something that could be used to stop construction of any bridge anywhere. This Tom Tunney guy sounds like a real dick. I think the controversy comes from the notion that the city would be giving up city owned airspace to the Cubs for what amounts to a bridge that isn't going to be used much as a bridge, since it only connects the relatively small hotel to the stadium, but rather is a billboard.

    @PWSullivan: Ready to do this one more time and finally go home. http://t.co/JLTKwB1FQU Explains this earlier tweet. Is he switching with the white sox guy?

    Halfway through that I assumed layoutmans point was the complete opposite of what it ended up being.

    There does seem to be an attempt to set the record straight so all the idiots who hate Soriano realize how idiotic they are. Although, as dumb as they are they may not comprehend.

    Yes, usually since without water people frequently experience severe medical issues. It's not like there aren't other ways of obtaining drinking water... For $4 a bottle? It's a necessity of life.

    Bo Jackson says hi. Bo Jackson was an athlete that could play baseball, not a baseball player.

    That has to play to his constituents. Saying you will battle THE MAN is the easiest way to stay popular.

    Yeah, I hear his pseudo-intellectual mumbo jumbo and just picture a clubhouse full of dude completely tuning him out.

    Ever been there? The rain typically lasts a little while and then it's sunny the rest of the day. That's basically the entire summer there (when there isn't a hurricane). If you want to enjoy Florida, you don't go during the summer.

    He's a baseball player so greatest athlete in history is out of the question. But the rest is attainable.

    They didn't damage the game at all. It was the golden era. The steroid era vaulted baseball from a declining era in which the NFL didn't just surpass, but lapped it in popularity and the freaking NBA threatened to overtake it. Thankfully the steroid era solidified its space in 2nd place among American sports.
