    Won’t root for them to lose. Just won’t be that disappointed when they do.
  2. PackLandVA
    Probably because just about the entire Cubs' lineup are not everyday MLB players, and many are nothing more than AAAA players.

    A bunch of "try hard" guys, but not every day players. And Ortega clearly did NOT make that catch. Easily see the ball roll from his glove to his belly.
  4. PackLandVA
    Ortega just basically turned that single into a double. He threw it into the infield to "no man's land". No shot at home. No shot at third and he threw it weakly to the mound letting the guy go to second. Fundamental mistakes galore.
  5. PackLandVA
    He’s a “closer” always pitching in the 8th inning. Might be that whole mental thing with him.
  6. PackLandVA
    So that would be a strong “yes” for me.

    I went back a little further to when I started watching the Cubs. Here's my list, with the caveat that some of these guys are almost certainly a no go. But some of them were pretty big local stars on some really crappy teams: Glenn Beckert Kenny Holtzman Don Kessinger (prob not) Bill Hands Milt Pappas Jose Cardenal Ray Burris (prob not) Manny Trillo Mike Krukow Dave Kingman (prob not) Bill Buckner Jody Davis Leon Durham Keith Moreland Bobby Dernier Joe Girardi Andre Dawson Jon Leiber Alfonso Soriano I believe the highlighted have a legit shot. And here's some non-players: Leo Durocher Dallas Greene Jim Frey Don Zimmer Don Baylor Dusty Baker Lou Piniella Joe Maddon Jack Brickhouse Harry Caray Len Kasper (unless they're pissed he left)

    Looking like Iowa would be a step up from this current Myrtle Beach like team.

    Len's a front runner. Saw the writing on the wall last winter with the 2021 cobs so he bailed. Thought about teams that were on the rise and realized he didn't have to move by taking sox job.

    Big Ten coming outta the gates strong with a few conference matchups. And, no, I'm not referring to Illinois and Nebraska.

    And the Tigers get a single n the bottom of the 8th with 1 out. Hope McKenzie doesn't know where I live.
  13. PackLandVA
    Guardian's Tristan McKenzie with a perfect game thru 7 at Detroit.
  14. PackLandVA
    Frank Schwindel - you can’t stop him. You can only hope to contain him.
  15. PackLandVA
    Machado went to a godawful team that had a promising farm system. Oh, and for $300 million.
  16. PackLandVA
    The streak will be 1 or 11 after the game.
  17. PackLandVA
    Tyler Gilbert no-hits the Padres. Throws 102 pitches for the DBacks.
  18. PackLandVA
    I would definitely not call this one an "A Game".
  19. PackLandVA
    Wouldn't be surprised if the coaches want their players running out every kick off. Get your ST players in the mentality of not holding, not blocking in the back, etc. There's only so much to critique from weekday practices.
  20. PackLandVA
    Said nobody. Ever. Until, well, the post-2021 trade deadline Cubs.
  21. PackLandVA
    Not at all! The season was great, the team was fun and it was a long time coming. Don't let other things diminish that season. It's not worth it
  22. PackLandVA
    If you DFA Jake, you’re just gonna have to find someone else that’s guaranteed to eat 4 innings every 5-6 days for the rest of the season.
  23. PackLandVA
    Burnes on the bump tonight. I predict 15K’s SCHNI-KIES!!
  24. PackLandVA
    21 Ks so far today in the two games. Shortened games.
  25. PackLandVA
    The backups and minor leaguers also strike out way too much and can't seem to get a man in from third with less than 2 outs. Contact is overrated. Just hit the dingers.
