    You know there's trouble when Fred is talking to himself during a 1 run game against the White Sox.

    Hardaway has done a lot to try and turn things around. How much of it is purely PR is unknown, but I know he's done something with the Trevor Project. Hardaway wasn't exactly ambiguous: Not a lot of wiggle room for semantics there.

    The defenders deflate whenever Rodrigo Lopez gets called into the game.

    Pat Hughes is telling Billy Corgan how much he loves Pink Floyd and Dark Side of the Moon. Did not see that coming. That's like Vin Scully randomly mentioning how much he loved the Wu-Tang Clan.

    nice to see him pitch well, because he sucked last year, and a lot of our far east pitching signees have been flops. That transition cannot be free of severe culture shock.
  6. Guancous
    That last slider to Posada was perfect.

    Glad Davis got pulled. He almost got Quaded.

    Starlin is a career .340 hitter at Wrigley.

    So much for Grabow generating any trade value.

    What league would you use if you only cared about the Yankees and Red Sox?
  11. Guancous
    Overwork and abuse in his youth and a cascade of injuries. I'd stay away unless we need someone to perform towel drills in AAA. Our trainers have their hands full enough as it is.

    There are two main options: 1) The housecleaning begins before the trade deadline. There was over 125 people online during the first Cubs pick of the draft. Plenty of people are interested in the future. A rebuilding process will get people buzzing again and wanting to claim they cared again "from the ground floor." 2) This starts a decadelong rebuilding effort that fizzles out every two or three years. It's hard for the Cubs to turn into Pittsburgh or Kansas City with the resources at their disposal. Interest will pick back up. These things are cyclical. The fact that it is currently so apparent means that the downswing is near an end.

    ::wrigley23:Soriano ::jeffh:Hendry (more than your average person.) Who knew that trolls had an auteur style?

    National broadcast and no comments in hours. The only thing worse than hatred is apathy.

    Vitters strikes me as a 3B Markakis. Solid but not a superstar. Let's hope he has a BABIP fueled year ahead of him. Failing that, we could try him as a lefty pitcher.
  16. Guancous
    Didn't Hayden Simpson sign during the first round last year?
  17. Guancous
    We probably won't find out about any superslot signings until the deadline. Selig doesn't want to skew the market.
  18. Guancous
    The only good news is that the Cubs had a solid draft so far. Dunston Jr. will be an impossible sign. If we sign Gretzky Jr., cool. If we sign Maples then the Cubs climb into the Pirates/Nationals echelon.
  19. Guancous
    How many HRs will it take to get Bour in the top 100? 38?
  20. Guancous
    Word on the street is that Baez faced excellent competition in Florida. I'm of the mindset that making the majors with a high draft pick is a coup. Corey Patterson clearly underperformed but he has been un[expletive]ty this summer.
  21. Guancous
    Baez was arguably the best hitter in the draft if Rendon's injury scares you off. There will be plenty of pitching in the next 49 rounds. A lot of these college pitchers are being overvalued and the college hitters are being undervalued. A high school bat is a great pick while we wait to see how the new bats impact older draftees.
  22. Guancous
    And who would you have picked? JeffH: "Guh, guh, accountability?" (Dives through window)
  23. Guancous
    Who else is out there worth spending big on? Maybe Bell? Bell sent a letter to all the teams pleading not to draft him because he's going to school. Asking for a $30 million bonus is negotiating. Telling teams not to bother until 2014 is not.
  24. Guancous
    Boston was hyped to be much more aggressive than snagging Barnes. It's a smarter pick than Josh Bell, but still.
  25. Guancous
    Offensive SS, will likely get moved off of the position. Contact issues and plus power. Intriguing pick. High ceiling, low floor.
