  1. It's not an either/or option. It's mostly bad timing (much like the TV situation); the city and the state have no money. They were never going to get anything. Right, but governmental insolvency was an issue prior to him purchasing the team.
  2. https://twitter.com/BruceMiles2112/status/324956285038628864/photo/1 That's quite the picture. Not sure I've seen it like that without already going through a rain delay.
  3. Is Marmol pitching for them? This guy misses by feet at a time, then right down the middle.
  4. He took way too long to make the decision about management and the team has gotten worse and worse under his ownership. Those are the things intelligent Cubs fans didn't want to see happen.
  5. Every teams spends most of the dollars on expensive major league talent and comparatively little on the farm. The teams that consistently win consistently spend more on payroll than the others.
  6. Bruce Miles ‏@BruceMiles2112 13s For today's attendance game, you're not allowed to just guess crowd size. You have to name everybody, too. #Cubs
  7. draw a walk draw a walk draw.. yay, Starlin drew a walk. Will that one guy eat his hat?
  8. Bruce Miles ‏@BruceMiles2112 3m #Cubs say Takahashi cleared waivers and was assigned outright to Class AAA Iowa.
  9. Cubs would have to be on the extreme high end of that
  10. Chris Kuc ‏@ChrisKuc 1m Mini-scoop while taking day off: Tomorrow through Saturday the NHL Network to film #Blackhawks' front office for NHL 36 documentary episode.
  11. ^^^What he said^^^ Iowa Cubs ‏@IowaCubs 3m No game tonight vs @nashvillesounds Postponed by rain. Makeup date TBD.
  12. Paul Sullivan ‏@PWSullivan 1h Field looks like it's in pretty good shape, all things considered. Thanks, Sodfather, for the patented drainage system.
  13. It goes back to not having the balls and/or foresight to make the very easy decision to fire Hendry on day one. Put a competent management team into place from day one and this team isn't in this position today.
  14. Oh shut the hell up. This person is awful.

  16. The reason are that Stanton will cost more talent, while Price would cost more money. So a team like the Cubs, with lesser valued prospects to offer but plenty of cash to spend (if they want to) would be more in line for Price. Additionally, the Cubs prospects base is more position player heavy with no high end pitching, so their perceived need would also be in-line with the asset they appear to be more able to afford.
  17. I don't love it at all, but I sure would not cross it off the list of possibilities.
  18. I don't understand this sentiment. They have positioned themselves so they can justify selecting just about any position with the 1st pick, outside of QB and RB. Last year they had a desperate need for an offensive lineman and they drafted a tweener to play at the back of the defensive end rotation. If there's a guy of value available at their selection I absolutely could see them drafting one.

  20. Right but the hope is that at least 2 of Soler, Almora and Baez will be those position players we wouldn't be able to get via FA. If we trade them for Price, we make it even harder to have a strong offensive core. I could go either way...Price would obviously be the best pitcher we've had in Chicago since Prior and makes our staff dominant. a top 5 Baez (as hard as it is to imagine with his performance so far), a newly top 50 Vogelbach (who the Rays have plenty of room for), and one of our many middle infield prospects.. ? It's almost impossible for a future DH like Vogelbach to ever be a top 50 prospect. I realize that almost the same can be said for 1B, but it's not like he can't play 1B. He just probably can't play it for us. By many accounts he can't really be relied upon to play 1B.
  21. There will be graduations, but also new guys from this draft. Plus other guys who will emerge from the middle. I'm not saying it can't happen, but he's already starting behind the 8-ball injured and as a guy who is far from the majors, there isn't going to be a rush to bump him quickly. It's no lock.
