    I don't care what he does in the privacy of his own bedroom, but don't broadcast it.

    three more in a row and they'll only be three games under .500.

    Obviously not a perfect match but I think they are more Dodgers than Cubs. Terrific success in the middle of the last century and then not much since then. Maybe a combination of Dodgers/Indians/Cubs.

    wait, was that george mccaskey? That's what I told my wife, so I hope so.

    I'm going to guess it's a bastardization of Gavin. Ah, that makes a lot more sense. in a video on youtube he explains that it sounds like Gavin and is a county in Ireland.

    Quick, let me find the youngest guy who had a good day and fawn over him. Looks like your best bet is one of the hitters. ;) Unless there was a pitcher to manage getting through an inning unscathed.

    Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 1m #Bears have released LB Dom DeCicco and CB LeQuan Lewis. Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 2m #Bears announce signing of DT's Corvey Irvin & Christian Tupou, CB Maurice Jones and WR Demetrius Fields from rookie minicamp. Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 1m Check that #Bears agreed to terms with CB Maurice Jones. So, they will have to release a player to officially add him.

    what the hell is a cavan?

    Oh come on, you've been around here long enough to know how badly this post is going to be destroyed, so why even bother? What kind of player will Rizzo turn out to be? I already said this was a great deal for the Cubs, but it makes no sense to compare his contract or play to Votto after being with the Cubs for less than a year. It makes no sense to purposefully avoid comparing his contract or play to other players at his position. That's like the basis of nearly all conversations about baseball.

    Protective to a fault? What the F does that mean and on what is it based?

    Even if I was pretty sure I was going to make more by waiting, it would be pretty hard to pass up $41M guaranteed. Yea it's not like he's a FA either. His ability to earn is limited by arbitration, which makes the figure harder to wrap our minds around since we're so used to basing figures off FA deals. Plus a guy who had lymphoma probably realizes more than most how quickly life can change, so you take that guaranteed cash even if its a 20% or whatever discount. But it's not just a discount, the team options are huge, and puts him in a spot where he will negotiate his next contract after he has already started to decline. $17m/year was the standard for upper echelon 1B a decade ago, and $20m+ has become the norm now. If the Cubs own options at $14.5m for each of his age 30 and 31 seasons, then he's going to be looking for that FU money contract starting with his age 32 season. The way things are going in baseball, he'll get it from somebody, but damn, I would have thought those options would be much more expensive than $14.5m.

    Was Rizzo that hard-up for cash now?
  14. jersey cubs fan
    Sure looks like we are past that, thankfully
  15. jersey cubs fan
    Building his stamina and innings is a process. You don't just decide to go 35/220 just because you want him there eventually.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    2 base running outs. Brilliant
  17. jersey cubs fan
    Aggressive stupidity strikes again. Not even close
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Some are UDAs and some won't get another contract after their first one. Most could give a [expletive] about finishing college but it's [expletive] stupid to make those that care choose between the two. What's so stupid about it? They let them choose between staying in school or coming out early. I think it's stupid to have a catch-all rule like this to treat paid professional adults like 8th graders, but only have that rule affect those whose schools choose to operate on a different schedule than most.

    UDFA? EDIT: Yep. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-chicago-bears-mark-harrison-sidelined-20130510,0,268701.story He has to be a camp casualty candidate.

    http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/cubs/2013/05/08/chicago-cubs-want-to-renovate-99-year-old-wrigley-field/2145735/ A relative whose local paper apparently farms out articles from the USA Today pointed out this article yesterday. He's a Cardinals fan and noted how unfair it was for the Cubs to be bullying the neighborhood. Got to love the loaded term, "notorious tenant", as if the Cubs are some hoodlum organization renting a room in a flop house.
