  1. Kaplan's just pissed he didn't break it. "MY source is better...I'll let you know when the deal OFFICIALLY goes down."
  2. Thanks for letting us know! I was responding to somebodies comment smart ass! Too many arrogant [expletive] on here The original post you are replying to was sarcasm. Hard to tell what is sarcasm and what is not... Then you probably shouldn't say obvious things and then mouth off to mods, just to be safe
  3. Delgado seems to have been rushed recklessly through the minors. 20 innings at AAA before a callup to stay at 21? Just why?
  4. Delgado would make me very happy. I would not have guessed we'd get a guy from anyone's big league rotation not named Eovaldi.
  5. If JeffH is only sort of freaking out about it, I feel pretty good right now.
  6. If the Red Sox offered him a "big" contract extension, I'd change my mind about how I use my brain to think about things.
  7. If that counts (and it probably shouldn't, because the obvious implication is favorite over-the-top deadline moves) but a big freaking star next to the Sean Marshall fleecing. And that was the second best trade of last offseason. Very true.

  9. IIRC, Hill had been wearing some weird shoes at the time and they were making a big deal about it. Actually, they're talking about them at the start of the clip. Yes, yes, we know. It was a terrible call, since it suggested that the painful non-sequitor they were discussing was somehow a cause of his mammoth home run. It was bush-league, terrible announcing and it should be derided as such.
  10. Can Barney hit 8-10 HRs for the next few seasons? That would be extremely valuable.
  11. That was one of the worst things ever (star-spangled banner)
  12. This is true, but I'm holding out hope that next year is a "this is a .500 team this year, but they consistently show glimpses of being amazing in the near future"-year. Let it not be said that Theo and co haven't been stellar at managing our expectations. If I found myself HOPING for that scenario, I'd probably just quit the Cubs. .500 with several exciting prospects being added/coming up and contributing is the minimum I expect for next year.
  13. Who do people like better between Castellanos and Olt? I'd say we could get the lesser one for Dempster, and target the higher quality guy plus a top-50 pitching prospect for Garza. EDIT: That said, I'd guess we go straight upside pitching prospects for Demp.
  14. WHY do we keep [expletive] on things that would bring in revenue to our broke-ass city? WHY.
  15. I think that's far enough down the line that we can't really know. In 3 years, maybe Rizzo's plateaued as less than we expect, maybe he's good but we can trade his last couple years of control for a real big fish, maybe he's out of baseball because his cancer came back. Moreover, here's the 2009 Cubs prospect Top 10: Vitters Shark Cashner Rhee Castillo Hart Castro Flaherty J Jackson HJ Lee Which is just a long way of saying that there isn't any need to brainstorm uses for Vogelbach at the moment. Kevin Hart? I remember him having nice stuff, but I had no idea he was ever that high up. Kevin Hart was the doom bringer. He sucked something fierce. He really did. I remember when he was first called up. I believe he entered the game with the bases loaded and no out and struck out the side. Then he went back to being Kevin Hart forever.
