"It's great to finally be in the second round" - Orlando Magic Forward Tracy McGrady, while his team led the Detroit Pistons 3 games to 1. Detroit ends up winning the series 4-3.
We got some breaks, and those breaks ultimately helped us win the game...but there were several calls that could have went the Hawks way that didn't so of course there will be something for Cyno to complain about :)
He's not going to be fired....he just got an extension and is well respected within the Cubs organization. And the team's injuries will be more than enough of an excuse to keep him employed. We shall see once the sale is complete. You think the first thing the ownership is going to do once it takes over is fire the GM that led the Cubs to the playoffs the last 2 years and pay 2 GMs money?

I honestly think his motive for pitching this year was to get MLB pension for 10 years of MLB service time. I don't fault the guy for doing it, but at least now he'll get it, as the Cubs will likely put him on the DL until that happens.
I think the Cubs have more important issues to deal with than Soto. Just keep putting him out there because if he gets benched thats the end of the Geovany Soto era and Koyie Hill isn't the long term answer.
I was trying to stay calm and optimistic through the last rough patch, but I'm not seeing the optimism here. Does a contending team not have a RH batter off the bench who can hit for Hoffpauir? Does a winning team have to make their starter throw 130 pitches because there's no one else in the pen that the manager trusts?
we also had 1st and 3rd with 0 out in the first inning and didn't score. Hah really? I was watching a movie so I didn't catch it. Well at least that you can attribute to facing a really good pitcher.
