  1. Can Barney hit 8-10 HRs for the next few seasons? That would be extremely valuable.
  2. That was one of the worst things ever (star-spangled banner)
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. WHY do we keep [expletive] on things that would bring in revenue to our broke-ass city? WHY.
  6. 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.
  7. Mooney from CSN Thanks. I liked him; he seemed pretty knowledgable despite not telling me anything I didn't already know
  8. Who was in the booth in the 3rd? Patrick something?
  9. 20-year old OF Kevin Encarnacion, who is in the DSL for the 4th straight year. I want to high-five this post.
  10. Oooh, yeah, I'm not sure if I would have made it.
  11. I wish I thought it was funny anymore.
  12. NO I will not let him ruin him.
  13. This is weird, because you don't normally say stupid things.
  14. This ump's zone looks atrocious on gameday.
  15. perhaps you should give me some pointers on how to handle it. your history on this board indicates that being wrong is a position with which you are quite comfortable. You must have me confused with someone else, I rarely post mostly just lurk, due to the growing throng of A-holes here. If your going to dog a player maybe you should have some idea of what your talking about before you do. But when you do post, your grammar is excellent.
  16. Not much too it. He doesn't have the pitch repitorie to make it through a line up two to three times, so he has to throw strikes. He literally has no margin for error. Entering today, he had the 11th highest strikeout rate and the 6th highest swinging strike percentage among starters in baseball (obviously today will bring that down a little). Whatever his struggles have been lately, how can those numbers be reconciled with the root cause being a lack of stuff? It's easy to do when you just say things that you don't know anything about.
