    I think Detroit should try to prevent the Blackhawks from scoring goals while at the same time try to score more goals themselves.

    ' Stupid [expletive] were trying it in the bleachers last night. This time it was a full-on wave that circled the ballpark, both bleachers and grandstands a good 4-5 times. Sullivan and Miles were livid on twitter.

    Who struck out all those Kane County hitters?
  4. jersey cubs fan
    I think blue is a very Chicago color that would need to be involved, but I also think that the Cubs colors on the bears would be awful and the Bears unis on the Blackhawks would look stupid. Black and red probably, even though that is quite dull. Also, the Cubs would look very Cardinals/Reds/Angels/Phillies/Nationals.

    Puck Daddy believes anybody else should get zero.

    I disagree. There is still value in day baseball, played under the sun, value that contributes to the brand of the Cubs. They have some sort of sentimental that can't be quantified, but more night games have real, positive, quantifiable value on the bottom line. And they are getting a lot more night games. They are at a happy medium where they can sell more night games while at the same time maintaining the brand value of Cubs day baseball.

    Yeah, I mean I don't really think it's a problem, because of the complete lack of a pipeline and the inability/prohibitive cost to go out and acquire more pitching, not to mention that even if they draft a stud #1 he's no lock for opening week 2014. But I don't see how extensions for those guys would be seen as anything but locking them into the rotation.

    Chris Kuc ‏@ChrisKuc 3m Told by source that Viktor Stalberg is sitting Game 1 for #Blackhawks vs. #RedWings not because of poor play or injury. Chris Kuc ‏@ChrisKuc 49s Source said #Blackhawks winger Viktor Stalberg questioned his role--or lack of it--in certain situations. Not sure what this means, but my interpretation is he asked why he didn't get more time on PP or PK, and Q didn't like that. I don't know, sounds stupid.

    There's a chance anybody could be traded at any time, as long as they don't have a no-trade clause. But an extension for those three guys at this point in time would essentially lock them into 2014 rotation spots. Same is true for Castro and Rizzo.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    Why would any of those spots be locked in? Since the Rizzo extension, there's been talk that Shark and Wood are up next. Not sure how much base there is to it though. Ok? Why would that lock them in? Extensions for Wood, Shark and Garza would certainly lock them into rotation spots in 2014, and Jackson already is.

    Well, then you think wrong. After back to back 0-3 games Soler's May OPS is now down to 1100. He's top 10 in the FSL right now overall. It's safe to say he's been very good.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    Based on what? Baez? Soler's been very good and Almora and Vizcaino have yet to play. Vogelbach and Shoulders have been very impressive. Anything from Vitters or Jackson is gravy as far as I'm concerned, and most of the other relevant prospects havn't done anything eye popping but have been pretty solid. Yes, based on Baez. And I guess we have different definitions of "very good" and "very impressive". Because i don't think Soler has been "very" good, or Vogelbach "very" impressive. I was also including Almora's broken hand and Vizcaino having yet to throw a pitch as reasons for the [expletive] season so far. Like I said, it's still a small sample size but it'd be nice to have a strong week or two to get excited about. Yeah, the fact that guys that need to produce in the minors haven't played yet isn't a good thing. Anything from Vitters and Jackson may be gravy, but they are considered by many top 10 prospects in this organization still, and the nothingness that has been their respective starts to the season is still disappointing. Makes it difficult to fool some team into taking them as part of a package deal.

    No direct quotes, but they said so on a season ticket holder conference call: http://chicagocubsonline.com/archives/2012/11/cubsnews11212.php#.UZOLLLXvNq5 Guys his age who have missed this much time to injury aren't a slam dunk for anything.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    I went to the game so I missed this. Cliffs? They had a guy on to talk about the wrigleyfield.com site and video and during the play where Soriano threw a guy out at the plate he kept talking. He even talked over Len calling the out. In other words, in the course of promoting/marketing/communicating a website specifically meant to garner support from Cubs fans for their stadium plan, their communications honcho pissed off Cubs fans. Granted, there probably weren't that many watching at the time.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    For a head of communications the guy they had on during the game last night sure was bad at knowing when to shut up during the course of play.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    All that talk of tempo and speed in practice sounds an awful lot like what we heard when Lovie first showed up. Has Trestman gone beyond that or were Lovie's practices starting to slowdown as the roster aged?

    Urlacher may be signing with Vikings
  21. jersey cubs fan
    I like how 30-40 seconds into the video as you are "walking up the steps" to the field they hold on a shot of LF. They don't mention the jumbotron but the area is wide open and begging for something to fill the void.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    The 90's weren't that long ago, and they had a legit dynasty then. But they do hit pretty much all the rest. Or the Knicks.
  23. jersey cubs fan
