  1. That list is not very inspiring. The bad news is that those guys won't get you much help. Of course, the good news is, this team doesn't need much help. I wonder how much the Cubs will "go for it". On one hand, this team is in the playoffs as is. They can use the minor leaguers to get the best reliever(s) they can find. On the other, the Giants are right on their heels for the top seed in the NL, meaning the Cubs could potentially have to go thru both the Giants and Nationals in the playoffs (as opposed to those 2 playing each other in the NLDS). If the Cubs really want to go for it, I could see them giving up Soler and/or Almora but I'm not sure what they'd even go for as they don't really need another starter. So, I don't see them going big at the deadline.
  2. Good lineup. I like sitting Baez and Almora, two guys that would likely flail against Fernandez unsuccessfully. Also, I think it's the all caps, but every time I see Willson spelled on the lineup scoreboard, my first thought is "typo" even though I have long known about the 2Ls.
  3. He has barely seen 3 of them pitch. His lack of confidence is more from Edwards, Concepcion and Patton not being in the majors that long rather than him actually throwing them out there to see them struggle.
  4. No way Lackey should have faced Stanton.
  5. Minors portion of Rule 5 draft.
  6. I mean, I KNOW how much talent this organization has. But I'm still amazed by it every day. I mean, a team that is setting offensive records just throws a guy from the minors in the cleanup spot and doesn't skip a beat. The injured Cubs offense could probably win a wild card.
  7. 6...Fowler, Zobrist, Rizzo, Montero, Schwarber, Soler 7 Arrieta
  8. [tweet] [/tweet]Hahaha. That's awesome. I love this guy. When is his sheersy set to release? I think I'll get his to match my Bryant one. Heading to Pittsburgh July 9th (saturday) Cubs game. Anyone else going to be there by chance? I'm either going Saturday or Sunday. Looks like I'm leaning toward Sunday, though.
  9. Zobrist x-rays negative. Probably not playing tomorrow. Hopefully, Rizzo can go or else the Cubs will play w./ a 1 man bench.
  10. Took a pitch off the shin. Stayed in to run the bases, so I doubt it's serious. At this point it doesn't matter if it's serious. Can barely field a team tomorrow if he, Rizzo and Montero can't go.
  11. Uh, pretty much the same place. He's only started 3 other games, all losses. And his PH HR was in a 10-5 win.
  12. Hendricks gave up 1 hit and 0 ERs. The Cubs got 6 hits in a row in the 1st inning. And it's a tie game.

  14. The problem is, there hasn't been an upset in the last 6 years in the East. LeBron goes to the finals. You can even extend that to the Celtics before that too if you want. You can't say anything can happen when anything hasn't happened in a decade. And yes, the Cavs are a thing and will be for the forseeable future, which is the point of not being good without being great.
  15. Kind of a do everything guy. Can shoot, pass, defend some. Doesn't have the elite athleticism (bad knees) to create his own shot whenever he wants it. Probably similar to a bigger (better rebounding) Hinrich back when he was decent.
  16. If you take out the 25-6 start and the 10-1 stretch, the Cubs are 12-17. If you take out all their wins, they are 0-24.
  17. Right now is the 1st time this season that the Cubs have had more losses than they've been games over .500 AKA under a .667 win percentage.
  18. DIdn't realize how mediocre Ibaka was this year. They are going to score a horsefeathers ton of points if Durant re-signs.
  19. Ibaka traded to Orlando for Victor Oladipo and others (11th pick and Ilyasova). I like the trade for both.
