f*** the Cubs official game thread 5/30/13
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 30, 2013 -> 08:28 PM) They still ought to get the occasional offday. Rios playing 51 straight games is insane. Also considering he played in some intense WBC games as well instead of Spring Training

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 30, 2013 -> 08:14 PM) Rick Hahn is going to have to take a break from the nap he has been on since getting his job. Sarcasm? If true, I commend him for not going for it this season.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 30, 2013 -> 08:13 PM) And rios gives it right back. He's just awful right now trying to pull everything. He looks like he did during the WBC. He desperately needs a day off.

Flowers and his pitch selection is terrible. Not a single offspeed pitch was thrown to the bottom of their order. You can't just throw meatball fastballs to their pitchers.

QUOTE (Jillian Michaels' Abs @ May 30, 2013 -> 07:05 PM) Ima go out on a limb here yous guys and predict a trade to the Orioles Jack Peavmann today. The idea of Peavy getting traded to a team that wants a starting pitcher down the stretch in a pennant race amuses me, but only due to Peavy's questionable ability to pitch in the clutch.

The Cubs have better hitting pitchers than the Sox have designated hitters. What a pathetic inning for Peavy.

I don't get why teams continue to let Miguel Cabrera beat them.

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ May 29, 2013 -> 10:19 PM) Sox are good enough every year to give us hope and then screw it up in the end. They gave us hope this year ?

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ May 29, 2013 -> 10:14 PM) And no one has cried rebuild since the offseason. So not sure what you're referring to about May 29th. After July 25th, there should be no doubt as to whether or not this team will be buyers or sellers.

Kinda funny that Cubs now have the 4th best run differential in the NL.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 29, 2013 -> 09:03 PM) I keep hearing get rid get rid and doesnt mattter who we get back way too much from this supposedly knowledgeable Soxtalk crowd. Which player is this in reference to? Personally, it would be a selling low if they get rid of De Aza after this year. The problem is if the organization just doesn't trust him in CF and wants to keep Viciedo in LF. If you bring in someone like Granderson to play CF, then you can shift De Aza to LF.

Can they please send down Omogrosso and try someone else?

Cubs vs Sox 1:20 PM
QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ May 29, 2013 -> 10:01 PM) I'd love to see them not swing at every pitch like Little Leaguers. Lineup order means nothing now. Despite his ERA, Wood is probably the best match-up for the Sox tomorrow out of all the Cubs' pitchers. Wood doesn't throw nearly as many sliders/curves as their righty starters do.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:57 PM) No he is cannon fodder and not needed after this year. His lack of progress from last year is very disappointing.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:53 PM) Hack, hack, hacking lineup. I'd love to see them shake it up and move ADA down so he can continue to swing as aggressive as he has without his poor OBP hurting the team.

QUOTE (Baron @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:48 PM) I have no problem with what they are doing now. If were completely out of it during the trade deadline fine. But if we're in the position we are now late July its not going to happen. I don't disagree with anything you said there, and it's pretty much what I've been advocating for.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:46 PM) If the Mariners can send down Ackley and Montero, the Sox can send down Tyler f-ing Flowers. Totally different situations, as those guys are long-term players for the Mariners most likely.

QUOTE (Baron @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:44 PM) Ok great were not even close to the trade deadline yet. I know your anxious to strip the team down and suck for as long as possible. I've actually said there's no reason they can't be competitive again in 2015 or so.

Cubs vs Sox 1:20 PM
QUOTE (flavum @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:42 PM) So you would keep Peavy and Rios and Crain in an effort to win 81 games? I'm not saying the Sox MUST make trades. I'm saying they should listen and if the deal makes sense, you do it. Well said, none of us are advocating the stupid trades from 2007 where they basically gave up someone like Iguchi or in 2009 when they gave up Thome for nothing.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:42 PM) I'm not saying the Sox MUST make trades. I'm saying they should listen and if the deal makes sense, you do it. The market for Peavy seems like it will be great, especially if someone like Feldman or Garza (with no years left on their deals) are considered two of the top players that will be available.

QUOTE (Baron @ May 29, 2013 -> 09:39 PM) How about hell no. Christ some of you guys I'm just glad dont have control of the ship. Stay as far from a baseball organization as possible. If they're out 10-13 games at the deadline, there's no reason for them not to look into trading some of the players on this team. There's no award given to a team for winning 78 games as opposed to 72.
