I am thrilled the Cubs have been playing great ball as of late, the last 20 or so games. They've won there last couple series verses good competation. I'd like to see then get to .500 by June!!!

I have a very wide range of emotions about this: Happy that Santo was finally elected to the HoF. Sick and furious that he wasn't elected while alive! Happy that somewhere Joe Morgan is pissed that Santo got in. Hall Of Fame, I do not get the induction process. If it took Ron this long to get in then just close the doors and get ride of the Hall. A feel a universal wrong was righted today. I also feel that it came at a price and the bitter outweighs the sweet just now.

Nope. He's absolutely right. Listen to your bitter cube made from Boston. I think GM's get more credit and take more blame then they really should get anyway. Theo is new blood to a lifeless orgainization and the GM position. I am excited but I have tempered expectations for the short term, greater for long term. Why do you feel this way? Considering they are the guy who puts a team together I can't agree with this. Aside from limitations placed upon them by owners and payroll I would think they have one of the biggest impacts on team performance. If that's your stance then the Cubs made the biggest mistake by hiring Theo since his team just had an epic collapse of all time. I prefer the body of work over time. I imagine so does everyone.

My cube mate from Boston is rather bitter and doesn't give Theo any credit for the 2 World Series titles. Sour grapes?

Pressure is on Theo now. Ricketts will have to eat some contracts to give Theo some flexibility. Quade will fall but who else?

I agree, of Hendry did this then why not pick up Wells from Toronto? at least he's useful.

Carlos Silva is the man mentioned BTW. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2009/12/cubs-mariners-talking-bradley-trade.html

Cameron K's 3 K's for Harden 32 pitches through 2 innings

Why not flip Griffy to the Cubs for Eyre? Platoon Griff with Edmonds or Pie later when the roasters expand. The WS get pan help with Eyre.

Who?

Oh no, Scott's back! Ha ha! This thread did better then any I posted last year. I'm just glad the Cubs are doing things to win baseball games. Call it "geling" call it learning to play with each other, whatever they're winning and I am happy.

Hay Hay! I must admit I thought this was a joke too. It's to early for this right now. I give the Cubs a couple of months to figure out how to win with each other. The Cubs thus far have been out of sync, good starting pitching, bad hitting; Good hitting crap pitching or bullpen. The last 5 or 6 games looked good and maybe they are growing together as a team. Last years posts were to cull the negativity surrounding every post. Yes I knew the slings, arrows and gnashing of teeth would happen, that was part of the fun. This year, different team and, I honestly believe, a much better result.
