That's certainly the most likely outcome. just sayin, anything less than a championship will be a disappointment until they win one
-
If they replicate what they did last year every season, it will be a failure

Dempster's last 8 starts- 48 IP, 55H , 26 BB, 44 K, 5.44 I hope he picks up his option (mainly because we already have enough space to get Pujols or Fielder and there isn't really anyything else I'd want the Cubs to spend significant money on this offseason), but it definitely wasn't just April. He sucked pretty bad for the last portion of the season too.

"ERA after 95 pitches" sounds like an amazing stat

Dusty Baker's players all loved him and he even has a good major league track record according to most. Anyways, why is his minor league managing w/l record significant in any way? -
can we please stop posting articles from guys like rosenbloom? it's just getting him more views

I got to sit at the press table or whatever right next to the bench for a magic/jazz game when malone/stockton were still around. it was pretty crazy. everything seemed way more fast paced and frantic when you're right there

I want Brett Jackson to be starting in center field next year -
fielder/pujols this year, hamels and danks/greinke next year. that's my dream scenario as far as free agency in the next 2 offseasons go. with just those 3 moves, the cubs would have an offensive core of fielder/castro/soto/jackson (i think) and a starting pitching core of hamels/danks/garza with only 1 season under theo's belt. i mean, it wouldn't really be hard to build a really good team around that, at all.

if the season gets cancelled we're already 40% of the way through boozer's contract!!

bill simmons is a pretty connected guy (and he's been pretty negative about this season's chances all along), so this tweet from him got me excited

i still think the OT should be extended if your team gets a power play with less than 2 minutes remaining

sandberg has a residence in chicago sooooooo..... -
Did you hear Theo's comment on wanting to make sure the big contracts he gives are to players we'll be getting in their prime years (26-32)?

What's your view on signing Pujols? On the CC idea, I'd be fine with giving him a 6 year deal and getting 4 elite years. Unless you think CC is going to just fall off a cliff at 35 (possible), then his decline would take him from elite to great to very good and then the contract ends. To put it another way, he may be a 7 WAR player the next two years, 6 WAR two years after that, 4 WAR, and then 3 WAR the final two years of his deal. I'd be fine with that. My opposition to CC is not that he'd be declining at the end of his contract, but that his AAV will probably be in the $23-28 range, which would put us out of the Pujols/Prince sweepstakes. Given the pitching upcoming this offseason and next and the fact that hitters are less of a risk than pitchers, I'll pass on CC in order to go after Pujols/Prince. Mixed feelings on Albert. On one hand I can't deny that it would be amazing to see him play for the Cubs, but I don't know. I think I'd prefer Prince with the savings it would allow over Pujols. Pujols just scares the hell out of me at the price he's going to demand. Too risky imo.

noah pinzur just did a fist pump

omg fanta man was right

theo i noticed the cubs havent scored a lot of points lately and they tend to give up more points than they get so how do you plan on addressing this
-
wow who is the [expletive] that just asked theo how he's going to address the errors issue
-
i love that boston fans were all "we have the leverage, the cubs can't back out now" .... and now we're intorudcing theo to the media without a compensation deal even being done yet
