  1. Fake rally avoided on some damn fine base running.
  2. He obviously wasn't much of a fan to begin with. My friend from junior/high school plays for the Rockies and yet I still manage to wear my Cubs Jersey.
  3. Snyder is this year's AAAA all star, like Hoffpauir and Fox before him. Haven't seen the 10 HRs from him yet He couldn't live up the Hoffpauir hype.

  5. I really wold have preferred that DJ take that at bat. I have no idea why they even bothered putting him on the 40 man if he was just going to sit there.
  6. .....what could of been if Quade wasn't an idiot.
  7. That's such a disgustingly bad decision that I wonder if that was Quade punishing Z for what he said.
  8. Quade is the king of the morons. Bringing back Z for 7th when he's already over 100 pitches=dumb Letting him continue pitching after he's walked the bases loaded=incredibly dumb. How a person can spend their entire life around baseball and be so dumb is just beyond me.
  9. ...and that should just about do it.
  10. After having seen the first two innings I've got 2/1 odds that the Cubs score 1 or less.
  11. Day game after night game replacing a catcher who has sucked this year. What's the big deal? I'd prefer it be Castillo, but it's not all that big a deal.
  12. What the heck did this mean? You wanted to go even deeper into the well for a starter to replace Dempster? They don't have any arms in the system to put in there. People seem to be under the impression that we have solid prospects down there that are just waiting for a chance when in reality there is no one ready who is even remotely worthwhile.
  13. It wouldn't surprise me if he retired after this year. He already hinted that he didn't intend to play for a lot longer. I am a bit surprised to think that he would want out so badly that he's willing to give up the 16 million dollar option though.
  14. I'm often pretty puzzled by the amount of slack Soto gets around here. Many folks still view him as a cornerstone type player, and well above average at his position. He's certainly been that at times, but he's also sucked rather mightily for long stretches too. Soto had the highest OPS of all starting catchers last year. I think I can look past a bad first third of the season.
  15. Ricketts has already said that there would be money to spend at the trade deadline. Rather than letting go of Kosuke, Pena etc for nothing but salary relief, they could just use that deadline money for their draft picks.
  16. If the Cubs were really in on Starling or Bradley then there's enough money to go around when you consider that Baez will be somewhere around slot. That should leave plenty of money to at least make legitimate offers to Dunston, Maples etc.
  17. I still think his comp is Alcides Escobar. But he has shown way more power this season and if thats for real, then we definitely lost a good one. Why Escobar? Thus far Lee has proven to be a significantly better offensive player with significantly better plate discipline. Not to mention that he's been a more efficient base stealer so far.
  18. I hear Koyie Hill is a nice guy. He'd have to make Mother Teresa look like Hitler in order to justify his spot on the roster.
  19. I'd like to see one more high ceiling pitcher added. If that happens I'll be very pleased with this draft.
  20. Plus stuff, but there are concerns he may end up in the bullpen. 1st round quality stuff.
  21. If Baez,Vogelbach, Dunston and Maples make it into the organization I will be thrilled with this draft. Zych and Rosario would be nice bonuses.
  22. If I remember right, a scout called him the biggest [expletive] he'd ever met, prior to last year's draft.
  23. Yikes, I was thinking in the 1.5 at most 1.75 neighborhood.
