Is a Zach/KD Chicago pairing possible at some point?

Great point.....apples and oranges but great point

He is because he was out for 3 months and is getting acclimated to MLB pitching.

It was a musing nothing more. The Rizzo v Jed stuff got me wondering if it put off that core that is all. Not sure there is an answer or debate to be had,

Before last night the offense has sucked for a good amount of the past month. This is an offensive based lineup that does not have Garcia it so I am happy. I am surprised there is no Garcia. Engel not playing back to back games seems to just be a cautionary plan. We may not see Robert play back to back until later September.

I wonder how the service time game with Bryant played into this. All these guys had to do is look across town and see why some may have been more willing to sign a home town discount.

The generated wealth of these franchises is tied to the debt associated with purchasing them. While Rickets and Cohen have greater wealth then Reinsdorf, I think teh SOx and Bulls generated more wealth for JR then the other two at this point in time. I am guessing on the Rickets Balance Sheet the cubs and surrounding projects in that area are a major drag. The investment into buying the team, rehabbing the stadium and surrounding area is not covered by the operations of the team and entertainment entities. JR shouldn't have an issue in the world when it comes to his team's fiscal status and he's sitting $4B in invested assets with the Bulls and Sox free and clear of any debt.

Why don't they just make the loan interest free instead of cancelling?

$400 for that experience is well worth it.

My guess is Mendick until Robert is back

I am probably wrong but I recall him diving over the wall and into the stands at full speed. It was a long time ago. I agree that catch was amazing. I may be remebering it better than it was. The thing about Calderon's catch is that ledge is actually pretty high.

Robert sorry

Sheets will go down for Eloy than Collins for Grandal. Hamilton on IR until September.

I meant through this point they survived now to get past it. Goodwin has a role against RHP that I think they hope Sheets will be.

Injuries are just an excuse now they survived 2 big ones and Engel. Every team gets hurt. Hopefully grandal back soon.

Feels like ramirez will get HBP and Franmill with a 450 foot bomb Stars are an embarrassment right now

I'm watching on a delay. How was Quantrill not kicked out after hitting Abreu. Intentional or not, these umpires have seen this whole series.

Olympics

Lambert has zero control.

Stone and Kasper are a great listen.

Abreu isn't moving but Anderson can't hit leadoff and Moncada is not a middle of the lineup bat.

Isn't this the game 2 pitching match up from the Sunday doubleheader couple weeks back.

A couple of first inning runs would be great.

Does Lambert have any plus pitch?

Ramirez has some great at bats
