  1. Welcome to North Side Baseball, BTW! And I just got home from an appointment, only to find... a no hitter happening. Against the ****ing Reds, no less.
  2. Ah, thanks. I thought he had two more years. Time flies when you're coming out of a pandemic and life is upside down for 2+ years.
  3. I hold the opinion that Stroman being so good he opts out is more likely to work out for the Cubs than seeing him stick around for a couple more years. I liked 30 year old Stroman quite a lot, I'm far more wary of the 33 and beyond version.
  4. Which is pretty much the reasoning why I gave them a C.
  5. Yeah, it has to be noted the White Sox side of that deal wasn't much better.
  6. I really thought the Cubs pulled one over on the White Sox in the Kimbrel deal. In retrospect, maybe not so much.
  7. Hendricks is back! What do you expect from him tonight? I'm pretty wary of what he can offer at this point in his career but the Cubs can certainly use more arms in the rotation.
  8. The Athletic just graded out all 30 MLB teams (it appears each team's local beat writer handed out the grades). The Cubs received a D+. What grade would you give them through ~45 games of the season? https://theathletic.com/4549233/2023/05/25/mlb-all-30-grades-memorial-day/
  9. Crap, I missed your game thread yesterday! It's all yours, I'm locking this one!
  10. I've been out several days so I'm starting this game thread. I pulled a muscle in my side and after trying to power through it for a couple of days, it got to the point I couldn't sit up without pain so I spent several days laying on the couch playing Tears of the Kingdom. I'm at 50 shrines!
  11. Win a damned game already. I hate the Astros.
  12. Yeah, good point. I'll do that when the deadline stuff starts circulating more intensely.
  13. I suspect this is the case as well. And frankly, I agree. I'm pretty wary of Stroman at this point in his career for a variety of reasons.
  14. This is a really useful tool to grow the site. As you come across rumors regarding the Cubs, hit this link and share the rumor, just like you'd create a post in the forum: https://northsidebaseball.com/chicago-cubs-free-agents-trade-rumors/ Why is this useful? Because Google hates forums. By creating a different, SEO-friendly portion of the site to share rumors, it helps our search footprint considerably and is easier to share on social media channels. After the rumor has been created, it works just like a forum thread. It appears in the Cubs Talk forum with "Rumor:" preceding the title. From there, people can comment and operate just as if it's a forum-only topic and I can loop back around, add a photo, and do whatever I need to do to help SEO the piece so it reaches more eyeballs. As we approach the deadline, I will add a link to the Cubs forum so this portion of the site is easily accessible and in front of peoples' brains.
  15. According to Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun Times, Marcus Stroman discussed an extension with the Cubs during Spring Training. Stroman, 32, has the ability to opt out of his three-year, $71 million deal after the season. Given how Stroman has pitched so far this season, the opt out seems likely should the pitcher remain healthy during the season. What kind of deal would you expect Stroman to receive in an extension? And what is a good comp for the diminutive hurler? By the way, this is the first piece from our new free agent and trade rumors section. You can find a link to this page in the Cubs Resources widget on the forum index page.

  17. @PackLandVA you're the next victim on the game thread list. Please spark the Cubs into being watchable for at least one night.
  18. Heheheh, looks like Mr Trueblood forgot to hyperlink it... https://northsidebaseball.com/chicago-cubs-top-prospect-rankings/
  19. It must have been one of our AWS instances caching bad files because I couldn't get it to appear on any of my devices.
  20. There must be a template and/or caching issue somewhere. I'm not seeing any of this.
  21. Nick Burdi, eh? I didn't even know which organization he was with anymore.
  22. No, nothing should have changed. Are you seeing different behavior with the ads from what you saw in the past couple of days?
