Did we pass on him? I missed that article, I think. Not sure if we passed on him but damn did he end up costing little in terms of assets. Oh well it was worth holding off to see if Melo would choose us.
-
Woj says Melo to NYK will be announced in the next few hours. Hard to not believe Woj Looks like it's over.

I just don't see the point given how well Taj played last year and Mirotic coming over. You could argue that PF was the position we least needed to add to. We also have Greg Smith who was injured last year but potentially a solid backup and Anthony Randolph who sucks but is on the books for 1.8 mil. Neither are anywhere as good as Gasol but again they are guaranteed contracts that are unlikely to be traded and on the roster next year. Maybe Miritic doesn't get signed but what else does he do, sit out the season, as it looks like the bridge to Real Madrid has been burned. They have no one over 6" tall who can get his own shot. Pau can. Right, I get what Pau can do. I guess it's just wondering if signing a 33 year old with durability concerns at our deepest position with a quality starter in place is the best allocation of resources. I don't claim to have another solution to propose, I haven't looked at available options outside of Melo.

This is terrible with or without Melo

Ps screw you cubs fans. Partnership over

I'm as snarky as the rest of you guys, and I know the article was ghostwritten but Lebron comes off great in that article. Definitely changes my opinion of him a little even if it probably was filtered through a PR team before going public.
-
Why do exciting player acquisitions always seem to turn out to be long drawn out ordeals for the Chicago teams I care about? Peavy and Roberts were months of anguish with no reward Soler signed and then didn't sign and then finally signed I guess LeBron saga wasnt that long but it felt like it Even the Wrigley Renovation has lasted literally years At least when the Bears go after a big name it happens quickly and decisively.

ESPN did an NFL Future Rankings thing. Looks like the Bears were 11th. http://i.imgur.com/q2RGTCG.jpg

Maybe all the Cub fans at the series this week voting while at the game?

We've heard from Al Contra, Soler, Bryant and even Russell. Where you at Javy? -
Alcantara promoted to Majors
UMFan83 replied to Neuby's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL To be clear I am clearly not saying he should be sent down in order to be paper champions of the prospect rankings. Worded better, I was asking if he would still be a prospect if he stayed up all year and the answer is a clear no. -
Alcantara promoted to Majors
UMFan83 replied to Neuby's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I want Alcantara up the rest of the season, but out of curiosity how many games/ABs does it take for him to lose his prospect status? I want to embarass the rest of the league with our offseason top 10 prospect list. -

the cubs are such jerks to make him miss the AAA All Star game. -
....you mean NSBB Premium?
-
No but seriously, this is the part where Tim is supposed to say "oh crap thats an error on my part, I'll have the ads with sound removed immediately, please don't install an ad blocker"
-
Translation: Eat a dick, Tunney Is the Landmarks Commission one guy?
-
Congrats to Rizzo, confirmed on MLB.com I hope that this is the first of many times Rizzo and Starlin make the all star team together (along with Bryant, Baez, Russell, Alcantara)
-
Agreed. Now not only will the fans be clamoring for Alcantara to stay up, but they will increase their demanding for Bryant and Baez as well.
-
Very sad to see this NSBB - Met's Refugee crossover end so poorly
-
[expletive] awesome, best cub ever
-
Cubs have given up at least 1 run in the first 2 innings of 7 of their last 8 games
-

-
