    Did the chat address which Cubs just missed the list?
  2. Outshined_One
    And with that, I'm done for the season. Thanks for the fun times, everyone!

    Larry Merchant's post-match interview (NSFW language) was hilarious.
  4. Outshined_One
    Sounds like they're going to be playing that sucker at midnight. Awesome.
  5. Outshined_One
    Rosenthal thinks the Reds will at least be open to offers. I'm having a really hard time envisioning what kind of package could net him.

    Bob Stoops' reaction to that low FG at the end of the game was the highlight of the night for me. He just looked so utterly disgusted. Edit: http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/6301/2011september17231546.jpg

    I have a hard time seeing how this team competes in 2012 without Ramirez in the lineup. The drop off from Ramirez to the next best available 3B in the free agent market is enormous. Nick Punto or Jose Lopez won't cut it. It's possible someone like Vitters steps up in the next year or two, but there's absolutely no guarantee Vitters will even stick in the majors. Plus, trading for a 3B would be a dicey proposition, considering how much a team would likely have to pay for someone like David Wright or even Maicer Izturis. If the Cubs could trade for a good 3B and/or upgrade at another position (2B or RF) in addition to landing Pujols or Fielder, I'd consider letting Ramirez walk. Otherwise, retaining Ramirez needs to be a priority for the Cubs in the offseason.
  13. Outshined_One
    Really, I've never heard that theory. That's because he just made it up. Everything I've read has stated that you usually get more in trade during the offseason than at the trade deadline. http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/wikipedian_protester.png

    God [expletive] damn it, it's already started. This is going to end up giving me an aneurysm between now and next year. There have been some delightful posts on other Cubs websites about how Bryan LaHair should be starting at 1B next year if Fielder or Pujols aren't signed. I'm hoping LaHair turns out great for the Cubs and all, but people are getting ridiculous over an eight game hot streak.

    These are good results.

    If the Astros go to the AL, would they join the AL West? Also, if we're assuming the Astros will be swapped for another team, rather than giving the AL and NL a 15/15 split, who would replace them? Maybe the Royals?

    Maybe he'll save the Cubs some time and cut himself.
  22. Outshined_One
    That's been my impression so far more than anything else; you could be right that he's been inefficient with his pitches and that's been the reason for him not lasting so long as he could have been. However, given some of the concerns about his weight and the fact that he came from a small time program, I've always taken his 5th/6th inning struggles more to be about him having issues tiring out. If he's been wasting pitches, it didn't show on his box scores when he'd cruise through the first 3-4 innings without much in the way of hits or walks given up. He's still a teenager who just spent his first full year in professional ball after being a virtual unknown in high school. It's not worrying, but it's noteworthy.

    Which is too bad because it also could eliminate any possibility of seeing Ben Wells in another big game this year. I'm so interested in seeing what he will do next year. His record might not seem gaudy, but for a 18 year old (19 on 9/10) in shortseason, I'll take 4-4 4.66 ERA and a roughly 3 GO/AO any day. My hope for him next season is to see him get a handful of games where he makes it through 6/7 innings and surpasses the 100 IP mark without any trouble. My primary concern for him this season has been conditioning-related, as it seems he has been excellent in many of his outings up until about the 5th/6th inning, when he tends to fall apart. I'm not quite as sold on his upside as toonster is, but even if his ceiling is that of a 3rd starter with a power sinker and the ability to pitch 180-200 IP in a season with a WAR around 3, that's still pretty darn good.

    Boise is down 5-0 in the early going. Not looking good for the Hawks.
