    The money is there, but I think Theo talks the "18-24 month thing" and "when the revenue comes in" stuff to keep expectations in check. If the prospects keep coming and producing and pitchers like Hendricks and Ramirez keep pitching like they have been, there's no reason for Theo to commit to spending a lot this off season. He can afford to patch the holes while he waits to see what develops and what the team really needs. there is no reasonable scenario in which the cubs don't need top-end pitching.

    the logan somehow whiffed on starting an arrieta game thread. BIG MISTAKE

    8/8 http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2014_08_08_tbamlb_chnmlb_1&mode=recap&c_id=chc EDIT i can't believe there are three of us looking this [expletive] up after midnight

    Huh? Is he invisible to the camera or something? When he screws up it's on TV just like Castro's. Yep, he's on TV all right. But again, they're not nearly as obvious. Rizzo's never been isolated on camera making his mistakes like Starlin. Of course he has. I think he means the ten million camera shots after said mistakes focusing on the player...in the field, in the dugout...just pushing the narrative and that's what's so depressing about len. everyone knows kaplan is a [expletive], but if len was the anti-meatball we all wish him to be, he could really lead the charge against this stuff. but he's wholly unwilling to do so.

    when anthony rizzo makes a stupid mistake, he's a big dumb lovable oaf that you want to grab a beer with. when starlin castro makes a stupid mistake, he's that freaking kid who stole your wallet that one time you accidentally went into a bad neighborhood after dark. i mean, it actually turned out that you had just moved your wallet to your front pocket because you were pretty sure someone was following you and you saw that thing on dateline about how they work in teams, but you get the idea. you know how those people think.

    hahaha, i broke down and tweeted at len too. i felt like a dork doing it but whatever. i didn't give kaplan the satisfaction.

    my theory is that brenly was so over-the-top meatball that he and len just played off of each other and were opposites. jd is mostly very smart and just quietly sneaks the meatball in there and it's successfully infecting len's brain.

    don't we already have enough hot dog vendors

    if i was theo, i'd honestly lean on csn and wgn or whatever and force kaplan out if at all possible. that baldish [expletive] is a parasite and will only be a greater detriment to the organization as the team improves and attracts more attention.
  12. treebird
    kaplan is such a piece of [expletive]
  13. treebird
    any thoughts, mojo?
  14. treebird
    learn how to hit faster please

    if soler has a lifetime .323 obp, things did not go well
  16. treebird
    yeah, i have an email chain with a bunch of my friends from school who are now dispersed across the country. it's great.
  17. treebird
    muskat is probably confusing soler with some north korean guy
  18. treebird
    i tried to figure out my roster. do i currently have carlos beltran on my team two times?
  19. treebird
    in honor of otto i wish that hr had been oppo-pop
  20. treebird
    i want to [expletive] throw up
  21. treebird
    i am still somewhat optimistic long-term, but i really expect baez to crater the rest of this season. hope i'm wrong.
  22. treebird
    baez plainly just guessing
  23. treebird
    today is 90s throwback day. let's all tweet at len about how much we love sosa and try to get him to talk about sammy as much as possible.
  24. treebird
    come on dumbos, stop caring about preseason
  25. treebird
    Was my thinking too. He's not coming cheap this offseason. Eh, with the minimal financial commitments the Cubs have heading into the offseason, he shouldn't be pitching himself out of their price range. His performance of late just makes me more excited about the possibility of a Lester-Arrieta-McCarthy-Hendricks-Wada/Straily/Doubront/Turner rotation. he's certainly pricing himself out of getting both him and lester
