    Don't you dare ever call LaMathieu Baez's counterpart again Len.

    Best games I've been to: 1) Z's no hitter 2) Glavine's 300th (ok we lost but baseball history) 3) Sosa's 60th HR in 98

    So they don't sign anyone good this offseason? Weird. The problems with that are: 1) They could still sign someone. Screw the first-round pick. 2) Several of the players they might want to sign won't be pick-tied. 3) They probably weren't going to sign anyone anyway. 4) Worth it to not have to hear "we lost 90+ games, there's no point in trying next year, we're too far away!" Having a protected pick and our pick of free agents is more valuable than you getting annoyed at #4. I would think Kyle would choose the situation where the Cubs didn't have a ready made excuse for not spending in FA to improve the team for next year.

    Also, Javi is awesome but I petition to add Arrieta to the thread title because he's pretty awesome as well. Any other Cubs pitcher I'm fine with just Javi.

    Let's get Soler up here early and really crank up the excitement. PS We just went 2-0 in the Jaxon A and Jaxon B part of the rotation.

    I fell asleep on the couch after the Cubs scored in the 11th thinking there would be no more Javy ABs. Woke up shortly after to see Len and JD signing off and a reply of the home run. Son of a bitch. PS we are all too old on this board.

    Ugh. Not the debut to remember. There will be better days Javy, chin up.

    Not low enough to get #PTR off food stamps

    BURN HIM
  10. UMFan83
    I hope it's Laura

    About an 8.3 on the Cobb Scale. Really? I could be remembering the details wrong but I thought I remember reading that Cap Anson is the biggest reason why there were no black players in the MLB until the 40s.

    Dammit I don't like how this camp is turning out. And dammit Chicago media I want to like Bennett despite his issues, please don't run him out of town.

    Guys were only 12 games out of the Wild Card race
  14. UMFan83
    HELL YEAH! Future is now!

    It's in the same realm. Would say Wares was worse because it was easy to see exposed bone on replays. There might have been exposed bone with PG but if couldn't see it on replays
  16. UMFan83
    He shouldn't. It's a freak injury on a play that happens all the time. Best wishes to PG for a quick recovery.

    Seems like every night at least 2 of Baez, Bryant, Russell and Soler homer
  18. UMFan83
    I don't know why this bothers me so much, but Baez ends July with a .999 OPS Bryant finished with a .992 OPS Other interesting splits....I'm not sure how much this matters but Bryant Bases empty: 1.158 OPS Runners on: .957 OPS RISP: .688 OPS Baez Bases empty: .777 OPS Runners on: .858 RISP: 1.008

    Is Starlin now our most tenured Cub? Edit: Yup he is.... at 24 years old he is the longest tenured Cub on the roster.

  21. UMFan83
    Seems ok I guess. Seems to have a high ceiling.
  22. UMFan83
    Bonifacio too
  23. UMFan83
    Wittenmeyer just reported Bonifacio and Russell to Atlanta
  24. UMFan83
    edit: apparently to hug teammates and talk to fans, he gone!
  25. UMFan83
    Looks like no trade. Hopefully we can get those guys through waivers and deal them in August Edit: whoops he's traded
