    This is all true, but it makes me sad because besides him most of the pitching options range from butt to OK. Yeah, I like Chatwood as a #5 but not as a #4. Cobb? Eh, and I'm not crazy about trading any of the young guys either. Darvish/Jake or bust.

    I'm not sure it's crushing. It might have been had Hossa not gone on LTIR. There are worse D men making the same same as Seabrook. With reduced minutes he hasn't looked that bad if you weren't comparing him to what he used to be. Doesn't seem like Toews or Keith are nearly the players they were either (although Keith's contract is much more palatable). Not sure what can be done but I'll still take it considering they won it 3 times. If you asked me in 2006 I would have said that never could happen and it was awesome.

    Given the odds I'm probably way too optimistic but dammit there's nobody I'd want more running this show than Theo.

    Illinois got hosed last night; I had forgot what a joke it is to play on the road in college basketball. Defense looked like a problem, though. Hopefully Underwood can coach them up in that regard.

    Yep, a moment when we all went into uncharted territory as cubs fans and could legitimately use the words "cubs" and "World Series" together.

    Is there another melo or is the famous one really still somebody teams would want to sign in 2019? How old is he, 35? Duh Fab Melo R.I.P.

    I don't want to trade future MVP Addison Russell just quite yet. Feels like we'd be selling low.
  8. The_Achiever
    I'm not ready to trade any of the young guys (unless it's a great offer), so I'm cool with singing an Alex Cobb-type and then rebuilding the bullpen. Needs will pop up during the season and I also hope they plan on making a big push for Harper next year.

    Between springer, altuve, Correa and Bregman the stros have one helluva nice young core.

    This is my fever dream. It's too bad because he seems like a great guy and all, but that contract is an albatross.

    I hear that Girardi works better with vets rather than young players, so that could be part of it. You'd think that would make him a good fit for the Nats. I don't want to see the Nats with competent managing.
  12. The_Achiever
    What an idiot.
  13. The_Achiever
    Tied up!

    I want the Astros to win not because the Dodgers eliminated the Cubs, but rather I like having NL bragging rights for most recent WS win. Also, Dodger fans are subhuman and do not deserve joy.

    Garpax stinks but Markkinen is indeed impressive. Super quick release.
  16. The_Achiever
    Agreed, I think he'll be better next year but also understand why he is the most likely trade candidate. Because Heyward is bad and Zobrist is turning to dust I think it doesn't make much sense to trade either Happ or Baez. To me that leaves Schwarber and Almora as the most likely guys to be moved. But they really don't need to trade anyone, Theo and Co. have a myriad of options on how to plug holes.
  17. The_Achiever
    Too bad, he holds the Nats back (especially in the playoffs).
  18. The_Achiever
    Yeah I'll definitely be rooting for whoever comes out of the AL. Houston would be ideal but I would enjoy Starlin getting a ring too. Although I fear it is LA's year. They are making it look easy right now.
  19. The_Achiever
    No stress right now, just appreciate 2016 even more and this great core of young players and fantastic front office. Go get 'em next year.
  20. The_Achiever
    Is it wrong that molly knight's whining about the announcers is bothering me? I kinda want to drop a big hot piece of dung on that thread. They're supposed to get excited for big plays!

    Schwarber very recently hit a big ole dong off a lefty. Why not leave him in? Eh more just frustrated with Joe overall. He's forced the OF lefties to go against the dodger lefties while Happ rots on the bench. Also the Game 2 Lackey thing (Davis and Strop should have been fresh), Strop/Heyward/Zobrist double switch.
  23. The_Achiever
    Joe's lineups continue to mystify me. Schwarber against the lefty and no Happ? He is sooooooo lucky we won it last year, he deserved to be the goat.
  24. The_Achiever
    Nice post TT. The vaunted Brewers "scare" me more than the Cardinals. Anything can happen but I feel very, very good about the Cubs chances to control the division for at least the next 4 seasons.
  25. The_Achiever
    I'm already kinda perplexed at the weirdos sobbing over this bearded miscreant getting his ass gone. Mostly nostalgia, he gave us the best season ever by a Cubs pitcher. And knowing we need to find two SP as good or better as he was this year, roughly, makes me a little uneasy. Yeah, all I care about going forward is the beard-sized hole he'll leave in the rotation. I like the Lester, Q, Hendrix trio a lot but we're gonna have a lot of pitching holes to fill this offseason.
