Did you at least touch base on him being run over by a steamroller, Naked gun style? -
I know you guys don't want to talk about it (and I certainly don't), but if you pull off one more upset to go with 5-1 vs the bottom 3 teams + home wins vs Minny and Michigan...
-
1 or 2 when we're trying to win games. (Or 0?)
-
an actual vision for the future and not taking on more bad contracts. let's be realistic, the cubs' core was lousy and the only way the cubs were going to be any good in 2012 was to make at least a couple of expensive free agent signings or trade the few good prospects we have for good major league players on other teams. Doing literally nothing would also help us have a vision for the future and not take on more bad contracts. What do you mean? That would just run out contracts with absolutely nothing in return. Other than the Marshall trade what have we brought in?
-
Then wouldn't you want to keep Garza?
-
The way the Big Ten's played out I wouldn't rule it out. You've got 2 wins in the can, plus 2 games against PSU and Nebraska and then 6 more home games on top of that. Crazy.

I think this is the wrong mindset. This is how it looks when a team has a bunch of bloated, underperforming contracts and needs to unload and rebuild from the ground up. Yes, 2012 is going to suck. But it shouldn't be viewed as a single, crappy year. It should be viewed as the beginning of something that will grow into success. How is 2012 going to be the beginning of something that will grow into success other than the fact that it will be the worst record for a while?

I don't think so. Looked it up, he was in for ~1:30. Not complaining about it, Leonard showed up for the most part in the 2nd half, and I don't think the 2 of them on the court together would work against Northwestern He looked good in the first half. That was nice to see. Yeah, thus far he hasn't been nearly the project people were expecting
-
If Thibs doesn't let up, the Bulls are going to be the 1 seed. And they'll be knocked out in the 2nd round.
-
I hope Kaplan gets hit by a bus.

one issue i had with that fangraphs piece is that zambrano has, up until last year, consistently outpitched his xFIP, to the point where you can't just write it off as a fluke. even with his ERA being a half run higher than his xFIP last year, his career ERA is still more than a half run higher than his xFIP. Yep.

I don't know if stupid is as accurate a description as completely irrelevant to the discussion. This is the Zambrano thread. The discussion is on Zambrano's career as a Cub ending. The comment was not meant to be anything but an interesting fact about the Cubs not benefitting a single postseason victory from him being on their roster. Although you could make the claim that they wouldn't have won any postseason games in 03 without Zambrano on the roster. It is not condemning Zambrano or even his individual starts (besides Game 1 of the NLCS). It is simply something that I found interesting that I thought others would as well. Nothing more. Nothing less. Stop reading into things, Also Carlos Zambrano has hit 3 triples in his career. HOW INTERESTING

Did Egwu play at all the 2nd half?
-
Zambrano has been well above average in every season up until last year. And now because of that he can't even bounce back to even average? Every [expletive] failed prospect is a breakout candidate, but once a veteran has a bad year he's toast?
-
MEYERS~!
-
Northwestern flops worse than Duke
-
I know Meyers has a good season FT%, but he's too emotional for me to want him to have the ball in a FT situation
-
I think Northwestern should try and play 35 seconds of defense, and get the ball back.
-
WTF was he closing in on the paint for?
-
Only likely to get worse than what? Last year's numbers? I'd bet a lot against that. It was way out of wack with the rest of his career.
-
Paul says anything you can dumb, I can dumb better.
-
It's not even like there was separation and he just left it short. The defender was RIGHT THERE
-
Yea, I don't normally buy into chemistry arguments. Ever. But Zambrano is pretty much the definition of the exception to that belief. I'll ask the same question I asked about Milton Bradley. Who on the team last year struggled due to Zambrano's presence?
