According to sons of sam horn and probably whatever news sources they are linking that I can't be bothered to read, Cherington was offered the chance to stay on as GM and declined.

I think there's enough there for me, personally, to think he will at least have a career as a competent major league regular. Some might think otherwise. I know Kyle does. He's 24 next Opening Day, and he's having a 0.1 fWAR season despite a .380 or whatever BABIP. He has a long way to go before he proves he belongs in the majors, let alone as a regular. It's not a huge difference, but you're ignoring the data from last year. That does count. That's fair. If you combine then, he's been a bench player or below-average starter. And he's not at an age where there's a ton of projection left. Does he have the potential to break out? Absolutely. But it weird how there's this massive blind spot in the smarter parts of Cubs fandom about how bad he's been this year, and what that means for the *median* projection going forward.

Is Soler's defense really THAT bad? There's a .121 difference in OPS between them in the second half. No, but I really don't care what a player has done "in the second half."

Fun with numbers: Cubs are on pace for 94-68, which would be the 11th-most wins in franchise history and third-most since WWII ended. Cubs just need to go .500 the rest of the way to win 90 games Magic number to clinch a playoff spot is 44

Patrick Kane Rape Investigation

Oh hooray, that guy has arrived in the thread. -
I wouldn't mind seeing Schwarber in LF and Denorfia in RF a lot more down the stretch, without the DH.

Let's just enjoy how great it is to have elite talent under cost-controlled, non-guaranteed contracts for more than half a decade.
-
i'd rather they not think they have any sort of moral high ground They'll always have this:
-
.500 the rest of the way gets them to 90 wins

Only get the Sox broadcast here and the silence was delicious.

It was huge because three runs is a lot of runs.
-
Lol 32 pitches because that is just what they do every time

Don't let Kyle see this. Whatever, at least we have actually awesome things to be happy about.

Makes less sense to lament it now that our playoff odds have basically doubled since the trade deadline. I want to live in a world where Epstein was so magically prescient that he knew the Cubs were going to go on the greatest 2.5-week run of our lifetime and not need any help at the deadline. I was responding to a post that says he regrets the deadline given what has happened since. Hindsight was a given. I was only being partially sarcastic. A small part of me really does want to believe that Epstein thought this team was gonna go nuts in the second half and didn't need the help, and that he believed it for good reasons.

I was thinking about the 12-game win streak in 2001, and I checked and we won 3 in a row after it snapped to go 15-1. That's the only time I can remember ever doing anything like this.

Dong party and everyone is invited

Double donging!

It's possible. Anyone can be good for two months. I'd probably be happy if they did just because trades are fun.

Or you know, don't. Just once, let your passiveness be to our advantage.

Mid-August 2015 Manager Approval Poll
Hairyducked Idiot replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Managers are overrated but Maddon has done some things I really liked lately, like putting Hammel on a short leash.
