  1. 89 put the Giants in that category for me and Cub killer Pat Burrell/my in-laws put the Phillies there for me more recently.
  2. http://kccougars.wordpress.com/2013/08/01/cat-chat-with-jason-mcleod/
  3. I was golfing in Cape May last week and the starter noticed my Cubs hat and asked how I was liking "their guy". I hemmed and hawed trying to remember who he was talking about and said, "oh the outfielder". He's a thing there, apparently. But that's about it.
  4. this transaction is taking longer than the rumored Garza deal.
  5. What in the world does that even mean? They will never be done building the farm up, it is a continuous process.
  6. Throwing a football and a baseball are such completely different motions.
  7. I don't think any of the other candidates (Dejesus, Nate, Russell) are likely to pass through waivers. It's possible they get claimed and the Cubs work out a trade though I guess. Doesn't Gregg cost the minimum? That would make him an easy waiver acquisition for any team that desperate for a bullpen arm, which means he wouldn't pass through either. I kind of feel like the Cubs will just keep him since they won't get anything for him and they are sick of their bullpen being so unstable.
  8. The reminder is appreciated because I had no idea who that was or where he came from.
  9. Who can't WGN on their TV but can get them on WICU?
  10. Missing two weeks of camp is a setback for anybody, veteran or not. And when you consider it's a guy who is new to the team and the team is dealing with an overhaul in the defensive leadership, from the coordinator and position coaches down to the captain, I would not scoff at him missing time.
  11. That doesn't sound like a guy that plans on letting the franchise QB go anywhere to me. http://mmqb.si.com/2013/07/31/phil-emery-3q/ So basically, Mike Tice was getting fired no matter what, and Lovie and Jay didn't have a great relationship. Yes, but I don't think that means that Lovie and Jay don't get along. Just that Lovie was a defensive guy, and was never going to be a QB whisperer. I don't think it has as much to do with Lovie/Jay's relationship as it speaks to the theory that Jay was never going to progress with Lovie and whatever OC he brought in next. They probably don't have a great relationship because Lovie is all about defense and is very conservative offensively speaking. But that isn't the issue.
  12. It was reported as being worked on all day and officially announced an hour after the deadline. Who reported that it was being worked on with the Cubs? It came out of nowhere. Nomar wasn't even informed until 3:45pm that he was traded. I was at the game the day it happened and it was discussed among fans throughout the day, in a "that would be cool but probably won't happen" sort of way.
  13. No one's gonna jump on this? Also, why would the Cardinals have an interest in Navarro? Tom Musick jumped on it.
  14. Oh, I definitely am. Russell, Barney, Schierholtz, DeJesus, Villanueva all in line to be coming back. Still could be moved, but this was by far the most likely "dump them for prospects" moment. Post 2011 offseason, the Cubs front office is on a remarkable streak of doing exactly what I hoped for. [expletive]
  15. It was reported as being worked on all day and officially announced an hour after the deadline.
  16. What I'm worried about is that they would seem to have no leverage...where are they gonna go if WGN doesn't ante up? Will the other locals be bidding? Couldn't they just move all of the games to Comcast? Would create logistical nightmares, especially in April when Cubs, Sox, Hawks and Bulls are all playing. I doubt that would be much of a problem. They already have all of those teams
  17. why? There's no point in midnight. At least later in the day than 3pm. I remember sitting in the drive-thru at a Steak-n-Shake when the Nomar deal happened. Now, I'm just stuck in my office, pretending to work, while watching twitter/nsbb. The deadline was exactly the same during the Nomar deal.
  18. why? There's no point in midnight. it's just more fun. don't see that at all.
