    I think so. On paper, the team this year shouldn't be nearly as bad as it has been. Not as bad, but still bad. They can't keep doing what they've been doing and be any good next year. The plan can stay the same, as long as that plan included trying next year.

    Probably pretty good.

    The best era of ownership the past 100 years.

    They altered Rizzo's swing from last year? Why?

    Probably because they never [expletive] play. They've played as much as just about everybody else in the league, and more than some. I figured as much, since they have played double headers (and since there has been [expletive] weather everywhere around the midwest). I just wanted to make a snarky comment about their annoying rainouts. April showers bring May walk rates.

    Sounds more like joyful acceptance at how badly it has been constructed, but denial of how ridiculous that stance is.

    All i did was answer your question.

    Yeah, I'd call it a "smaller major city". It has about the same population as Milwaukee. But as Tim mentioned, its metropolitan area is substantial -- about 4x larger than Milwaukee's. It's metropolitan area is larger, but it also is the only city with its own region supporting the same team. There's 14 million people almost exclusively in support of the Boston teams. Milwaukee is right down the street from Chicago with Minnesota to the West and Detroit to the East. The heart of Milwaukee support is basically just the 5+ million people in Wisconsin. I think the closest comparison to New England may be Arizona, which is the only game in town, for miles and miles. But that is a much more spread out population, and a huge portion of it is transplanted from other locations. For sports support conversations, Boston does not belong in the "smaller city" discussion.

    Because the Cubs have a very bad record in the 3+ years they've owned the team. Oh, good, as long as there was some thought put into it. Not everybody is as deep a thinker as you.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    Huh? Is the field just really [expletive] at Kane County or did the burbs get pounded with rain overnight? They are just about to get pounded all day.

    Is Sappelt a natural first baseman or catcher?

    I was going to make some fajitas tonight, and I think nachos would be a lovely addition. Thanks for the tip.

    Interesting write-up, good stuff. Also noticed you used the word we or we've a dozen times when writing up the Steelers draft info and zero with the Bears. Didn't realize you had crossed that far over to the dark side. That's not me. A friend of mine does the Steelers specific stuff. Ah, that would explain it. The "we" stuff does not read well, but is fairly typical for a Steelers fan.

    How pull heavy has he been?

    Actually it slowly got better under the Tribune ownership. The last decade of their tenure was probably the greatest era of the Cubs since WWI. It would have been awesome to have Theo as GM during the same era that Hendry was GM. Matching up an ownership that consistently provided management with the most resources in the division with a GM who could succeed when spending lots of money.

    I really liked Jose Hernandez, which probably says a lot more about those mid-90's Cubs teams than Jose's ability. He made himself a really nice lucrative career out of not being bad.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Unless they trade down a lot then I really really hope not. This is not a good QB draft. Guys who should be 4th rounders are going to go in the first or second.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    Yeah, apparently Emery practiced but don't know if he's ready. And if you aren't going to start Hutton at home against Phoenix, you sure as hell aren't starting him at Vancouver. The boys might play better in front of a rookie now that they don't have any other reason to play hard. Regardless, I'm sure Q wants Crawford to play himself into or out of the starting job going into the playoffs. Will Crawford/Emery not split time in the playoffs? Only if the starter craps the bed.

    Oh well good to know, because that's important. A lot of people were preferring management to indiscriminately, irresponsibly throw money everywhere.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    I don't get it
  24. jersey cubs fan
    All it takes is one of the top 5 or 6 to change what happens next, and the Jets/Tampa trade certainly throws a wrench. I would be shocked if we went through the first 12 with the same selections.

    Jimminy Christmas. Nobody thought Theo would do what Hendry did and what in the hell makes people think that is what Hendry would have done?
