    Nothing will beat the moment when I was watching Baseball Tonight's trade deadline addition when Gammons said that Nomar didn't get traded and then about 2 minutes later it was reported Nomar was traded to the Cubs. Didn't something similar happen with Maddux? Yeah I think they even had a graphic up that said that Maddux agreed to sign with the Yankees while they were discussing on Baseball Tonight. I remember all the anger here on NSBB that the stupid evil empire was interfering with our homecoming with Greg. Edit: In trying to find any online documentation of this, I discovered that Maddux turned down an offer that was $6m more from the Yankees to instead sign with the Braves in 1992. And $6m was a big difference back then (Maddux's deal with Atlanta was 5/$28m)

Haha. I remember I was visiting family and obviously we didn't have smart phones or whatever to check the news, but on the way there I was listening to the Cubs postgame and they said basically that the Cubs were not going to make any moves, so I kind of came to terms with it only to find out like 45 minutes later by my Boston friends texting me about how devistated they were. In a way I will remember those pre-smart phone moments like that way more vividly than I will remember refreshing my phone constantly for 6 days in a row waiting to see if Jon Lester signed with the Cubs.

    The thing that would annoy me is standing pat and Theo going on the radio and preaching patience and how he doesn't want to mortgage the long term prospects and how there has to be a balance between short term and long term etc. for the millionth time

    Also he's pitched much better on the road this year than at Petco

  7. UMFan83
    Damn you Starlin, why can't you just hit like a little bit so I can love you wholeheartedly?
  8. UMFan83
    I'm hoping that means he closes
  9. UMFan83
    Attaboy Riz! Welcome back!
  10. UMFan83
    I feel like all the Cubs that come up start off red hot and then go through a slump because it takes like 2 months for our coaches to figure out adjustments
  11. UMFan83
    et tu Schwarber?
  12. UMFan83

  14. UMFan83
    definitely his defense and concentration, as well as good behavior off the field.
  15. UMFan83
    It's alright guys, David Ross has got this! And if he doesn't we have Soriano coming in to hold it where it is so our boys can get another crack in the 8th
  16. UMFan83
    Nice try Castro. Maddon outsmarted you though!
  17. UMFan83
    At least Rizzo is back

    I thought this was interesting... I've seen a lot of people complain that the Cubs aren't taking advantage of bad starters, and we've seen some bad ones over the last 11 games (including tonight through the 4th inning). Combining their stats, the average opponent starter over the last 11 games has a 4.40 ERA. The starters ERA against the Cubs over the last 11 games is.... 4.23. So slightly below average. Obviously you expect better from a team with as much offensive potential as the Cubs, but I think people think we have been anemic against these garbage starters, and in reality we are hitting them about how they've been hit by everyone else.
  19. UMFan83
    That's a critical run. Why don't you challenge?
  20. UMFan83
    If Ross is so great why does it seem like teams run on him with reckless abandon?
  21. UMFan83
    Cool turn it off then. We'll all stop posting too so no need to come back and check on this thread
  22. UMFan83
    Jesus I've seen like 3-4 pitches squarely in the zone called balls this inning
  23. UMFan83
    jake definitely not as sharp the last 2 starts.
  24. UMFan83
