    Vitters Brett Jackson, too. I'd be shocked if the Cubs went "off the radar" with this pick. There is too much elite talent available at the top of the draft for them to make a surprise pick like Colvin or Simpson. Dylan Bundy is a machine. He is up to 147 K's and 5 walks on the season. I know it's just HS hitters, but those are crazy numbers. If we can come out of this draft with Bundy or Starling I would be thrilled. I wouldn't exactly be disappointed with Jed Bradley, Bauer, or Gray but one of those high schoolers would be my preference if Rendon and Cole go 1-2, as expected. Jackson was hated by most of the board (for good reasons at the time) but everyone expected him to go to the Cubs in 2009. In fact, people were rooting for him to go off the board with every pick because they were so sure the Cubs would pick him. Vitters was not a surprise but some wanted Wieters. Cashner wasn't a huge surprise but wasn't well liked until there were signs that the Cubs were serious about trying him as a starter. Colvin and Simpson were huge surprises. Yeah I was amongst those desperately hoping someone would take Jackson. I remember being so pissed off when they took him with Tim Wheeler, Scheppers, Poythress and Heckathorn available. Oops.

    Am I wrong in thinking it was extremely dumb for the Red Sox to bring Bucholz back out after a two hour rain delay? I would think they'd be much more cautious him.

    Awesome

    seriously this is the type of [expletive] that happens to the Cubs regularly and no one else.
  5. Tryptamine
    Wow, seriously [expletive] wow.

    Soto doesn't count apparently
  7. Tryptamine
    and hit a HR in his first at bat......
  8. Tryptamine
    Of course.
  9. Tryptamine
    This strike zone sucks.
  10. Tryptamine
    Cobs
  11. Tryptamine
    Pretty much no excuse for that type of result on a 2-0 pitch.
  12. Tryptamine
    I do enjoy when Bob calls out Quade.
  13. Tryptamine
    Reed hitting against a righty why?
  14. Tryptamine
    A Fonzie-bomb? Nope, people are on base.
  15. Tryptamine
    With Theriot gone someone has to do it.
  16. Tryptamine
    Nice fundamentals Reed....
  17. Tryptamine
    He's completely gassed. This had better be the last batter.

    While I would be very happy to get Bubba, wouldn't that pretty much put an end to our hopes of any significant late round super slots?

    Rothschild was under appreciated by the masses. With that said, they're obviously not as horrid as they've shown so far. Seemed like they also walked a lot of guys when Rothschild was around. CUBS are on a pace to walk 444 batters this year, compared to........... 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 BB 419 395 500 638 597 476 I think you might have pulled the wrong walks number Fred. Those look like the walks the Cubs took not the walks allowed. ...yeah I was going to say those numbers are the complete opposite of what I thought they would have been..

    So who can we look forward to getting in the draft next year?
  22. Tryptamine
    This is worrisome. At this point you have to think something is physically wrong. It could be a very long year if we're going to depend on the offense to carry the pitching.
  23. Tryptamine
    What the hell is with the Pacers and throwing all these cheap shots? I'd be embarrassed if my team was doing this.
  24. Tryptamine
    I'm all for Gibson getting starts until Boozer shows anything.
  25. Tryptamine
    Bringing us all that much closer to the B.Jackson era.
