LOL, he promptly sucks....as if on cue. Need to use a little reverse psychology with these guys. I'm telling you. "Wuertz sucks!! He'll never get anyone out! RARR!" -
When Harang undergoes TJ surgery we can look Reds fans straight in the eye and say, "Ummmm, Prior & Wood? Been there, done that."
-
He's already had a better start than Z...
-
Well, hey. Not a bad start anyway
-
There are reasons why Zambrano never sniffs a Cy Young. This is one of them.
-
Yuk. Glad I didn't take a sick day for this.
-
Hmmmm.......need to get better ABs against Harang lest he have the steam for a CG.
-
Mods - Time to Eject this troll. Maybe he/she just didn't realize. I'll give another chance if the mods will. Here's the guideline:
-
Griff up now. Come on Z, get with it.
-
LOL, typical Z struggles in his first start.
-
That had to be a missed hit-and-run sign.
-
I'm liking the Gamecenter interface. Is it new? The only problem is the lower-right corner is coming up as "page cannot be displayed" for some reason.
-
Harang is pretty good; I expected it to be tough.
-
season over
-
um, in the bullpen? Cubs bat first Doesn't matter! HIT SOMEBODY IN THE FACE! what? LOL.
-
I have no idea what the advertising costs even are, so I don't have a basis to even argue either way.
-
Those weekend Cub/Sox games are literally the ONLY reason to watch WGN on Sat/Sun. Without that, their weekend viewership goes right into the toilet -- probably on par with the soap opera network. It's death for the so-called 'superstation.' Expect WGN to fight to keep Cub games on their network, regardless of who owns each entity.

Do you see that St. Louis can win the division? I don't see how their rotation could be called better than ours-maybe similar, but certainly not better (btw, I know that you have Milwaukee winning the division, just curious if you think anybody else has a chance besides them). Yes, plus the season is long. What if Hill & Guzman come in and are strong? Stranger things have happened. That would give us 3 decent starters. Could be enough to compete. I wouldn't just write off our rotation now. Even though I agree it doesn't look great, often times rotations at the end of a season aren't the same as they were in the beginning. And that can be the case for playoff teams as well as bottom-feeders.

Even though Arizona perpetually ruins the OL they draft, it does appear they have Thomas on their radar. I'd love a trade down for Levi. Hard to count on that, though.

I don't think it makes Hendry look dumber. I think the Tribune told Hendry they were opening the purse strings because they knew if Hendry spent a bunch of money this year he would raise the value of the Cubs. I read somewhere that after this offseason the Cubs value has gone up to around $600 million. How does spending a bunch of money in an inflated personnel market make a team more valuable? Are the Royals more valuable because they signed Gil Meche? I'm not an economics wiz but I always thought organizational debt was an undesirable thing for a business. LOL, econometric rigor. That's a good one.
-
You have a great job, sir 8-) The best I can hope for is to be able to pull up the Gameday window in between work sessions.
-
Gameday will be on my work comp all game :) Come on Z, open the season strong buddy.
-
It's a possibility, but I would presume the cost of the Cubs will be quite high, which would seem to preclude most budget-conscious buyers. Obviously that's not necessarily the case, but I would expect the odds to lean in that direction.
-
Any scenario that has the Cards finishing 4th is OK with me. I'm going to go 85 - 77. Cubs are respectable and provide hope for the future, but miss the playoffs by a couple games to the Brewers.
-
Maybe by making that push they can settle on an extra Washington pick in addition to the 1st rounder swap. That would probably satisfy most. I think it's entirely reasonable for Angelo to expect more than just the swap, considering the league rules set compensation at 2 1st rounders straight up, no swap.
