    Yep, very important in year 3 of our "definitely not a rebuild" retool to prioritize breaking in our young players over winning baseball games. I get that its possible we can do both and certainly playing washed up vets like Hosmer isn't the answer. Next time just call it a horsefeathering rebuild Jed.

    Cubs are very close to being put in the same jail I put the Bulls in, check the score on my phone and read the discourse on twitter/NSBB

    Hey, I got to see the only Cubs win on the road trip in person!

    Ross needs to hire someone to be the game manager and he can just motivate guys and stuff. He's terrible at this.

    No matter who is coaching the players, no matter who the players are, no matter who the opponents are, the Cubs are doomed to suck with RISP for the rest of time.

    Wow they tied it
  8. UMFan83
    Ugh taking strike 3 right down the middle

    The Cubs are coming off a 1-6 road trip against the Marlins and Nationals and are 4-10 in their last 14 games, but tickets still need to be sold. Calling up Mervis is a smart marketing decision
  10. UMFan83
    Rumors are that AK got a secret extension too, just like Donovan before the season. Rewarding more mediocrity. The franchise is hopeless
  11. UMFan83
    The Cubs are 12-15 when not playing one of the worst teams ever
  12. UMFan83
    This is just an incomplete team. It looks good until you get to 5th or 6th in the lineup when some combo of Hosmer/Barnhart/Madrigal/Rios fills out the bottom spots. But not Velazquez who is for some reason only allow to play in every 4th game.

    We really gonna go 1-5 on a road trip against the Nationals and Marlins?
  14. UMFan83
    Would love to see the offense get going
  15. UMFan83
  16. UMFan83
    No, its just that the entirety of the Cubs decisions this year are based off not hurting Hosmer's feelings.
  17. UMFan83
    Not as good as they were going 11-6, not as bad as they are now going 4-8 in their last 12. Considering we don't have our best 26 guys on the roster right now I'd say there is room for improvement. The crappy thing is that their schedule coming up is so tough I'm worried about a tailspin that we can't recover from. The goal should be to hang around enough so that we're talking deadline additions instead of deadline subtractions.

    This is a good spot to brag about being in DC on business on Monday and going to the Cubs-Nats game. I was sitting in section 135 - literally 4 rows behind the entire Michigan football team! What are the odds? Got a picture with Harbaugh, chatted with Denard Robinson, got a huge cheer yelling "horsefeathers ohio" as I walked up the steps and past the team. Great night! Reference to how close I was sitting:

    Wow the site has been up for 16 hours and I had no idea, I kept going to the old domain. Glad to be back! There was at least 40 different times I thought to come here and read or comment on something before remembering we were down.

    Kilian has allowed 22 runs in 4 MLB starts. Seems sub-optimal
  21. UMFan83
    It’s great that we’re on day 4 of 16 straight games
  22. UMFan83
    Was really hoping we could build up a cushion before the death march against good teams but instead seem to be heading back down to earth. Thankfully the A’s series has kept us over .500 for now
  23. UMFan83
    In addition the oline is a bit better off but surprised no centers or any other line depth as well. Oluwatimi from Michigan would have been an excellent Center choice in the 5th
  24. UMFan83
    So as it stands right now, the only times the Bears will pick in their allotted draft position is in round 3 and round 7
  25. UMFan83
    Ok now my app updated to say that 136 is not a Bears pick lol
