  1. I usually hate small ball, but the way the offense has been going it didn't bother me
  2. I would wager a good hunk of money that the Cubs make the playoffs. The offense will get back on track, not early season track but better than recent.
  3. 5 pages, I see I wasn't the only one to take a day off from the Cubs
  4. Counter theory. Signing Tucker will hamper the Cubs ability to resign or sign other players for several years. So having a productive minor league system producing cost controlled will be important. In my counter theory, Happ or Suzuki would have to be traded. Which would be difficult, but its my counter theory
  5. Double clicked
  6. I get the idea of having a speed guy onthe bench. but the Cubs have good team speed. Berti just does not add much value.
  7. I have never gotten the idea that you have to be buyers or sellers. Making yourself better should be the goal.
  8. When Brock played and elected to the Hall, the things he did well were valued way more than they are now. His poor defense was not held against him that much. Plus he was a World Series hero.
  9. ZZ has done radio the last 2 days..I was wondering the same thing about the commute for Pat
  10. Drives me crazy that he is still on the team....you can't tell me there isnt a more useful scrap heap player somewhere. Where is Mastrobouni
  11. I wonder if the Yankees also believe Suarez will regress more to his norm the rest of the season. That is a concern of mine,not that he isnt worth getting, but his season so far has him way over valued.
  12. Wait...there was a poster named Duke Silver? Could he play the sax?
  13. Before Covid, U of I was talking about building a multi purpose ice arena in Champaign. With that they were going to start a D1 hockey program. Obviously I think all that fell through. But what I find interesting is the state of Illinois produces the 4th or 5thmost NHLers of any state but does not have a D1 college program. Really think if they could get an arena to play in, D1 hockey would do well there. Being in the B1G would really help
  14. I would love getting Castro. I would not trade Long for him though. If that's the asking price for Castro, I really dont want Suarez.
  15. I wish the NHL would just have a tie after 5 min OT. Im not sure how I feel about a tie in MLB, but I sure wouldn't want a HR derby decide. At least the Ghost Runner is still mostly an actual baseball thing, though I am not a fan of that either.
  16. MLB Net has a lot of decent ex players who give solid analysis.....To bad Dero and Reynolds have somehow got to be the top guys.
  17. The Cubs sure have had a lot of "interesting" moments in my life. Elia's rant, Farnsworth charging the hitter, Ron Santos radio call on Brant Browns dropped fly ball, Bartman( no I'm not that guy, but it sure was interesting), Sandberg Game, Woods game. All of these are so memorable if you were around when they happened
  18. If the Cubs were sellers this season, Swanson could easily be traded. The return may not be much because of the contract. But there would be a taker or two.
  19. I think the issue with resigning Tucker has more to do with how the team would be built around him. Basically how would Suzuki, Swanson Taillion, Happ, Boyd and Hoerner be replaced or paid going forward? If the Cubs keep producing or trading for cheap productive players, paying for Tucker should be easy. But it creates more of a gamble to trade future prospects this year to obtain starting pitching.
  20. As a Red Wings fan I think the Hawks are a lot closer to being really good than the Wings. The Wings will be 10 yrs no playoffs after next season. With a GM who will be hard to fire. Thank God the Cubs never hired Sandberg as manager
  21. Im down with getting Keller, if the Cubs are still going after another SP who is better
