QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 08:46 PM) An OC has more of an effect on a team than a bench coach, but I do agree it does make the job less attractive. I was just using it as an example about the attractiveness of a job. Right now it probably doesnt look too great(like that job that I was referring to. Many people declined the job interview). I mean sure there's a pretty good chance that the bench coach is managing by May(if it doesnt go right). But he might not last after this year if the manager does get fired.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 08:34 PM) Yup. It's a terrible strategy for this team. Just get rid of the f***ing guy. That or sign him to an extension. This is like Lovie I believe it was in 2009. Sitting on a 1 year deal and really Mike Martz was the only one who wanted the job as OC. Lovie if he didnt make the NFC Championship game was probably going to get fired.

Robert Murray ‏@RobertMurrayBBE 26s27 seconds ago Former #Cubs manager Rick Renteria is "an early favorite" to serve as Bud Black's bench coach with the #Nationals, per @JamesWagnerWP. https://twitter.com/RobertMurrayBBE Not surprising but not alot of coaches want to hitch their wagon to the lame duck manager here.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Oct 26, 2015 -> 06:46 PM) I'm intrigued by Ibanez. I think it's him. Seems like we're waiting on him. Or at the very least talk to him.

That is one of the worst trade ideas for Chris Sale I've ever seen. That says alot because there's been a multitude of trade ideas on the Chris Sale front.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 07:43 PM) No. I've stated that if we in fact stand pat I won't watch til next season when Anderson is up. Agreed. If they stand pat...Robin should consider quitting. That would practically be a set up for failure.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 07:40 PM) Not at all and I'm not saying stop. I've stated my mock where we sign 3 guys and trade for Puig. This team doesn't have the talent to stand pat. They just don't. They have to make moves. Alright we're on the same page. Sounded like you were in the it's all over camp.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 07:27 PM) They tried it this year. Just didn't work out. It happens. So that means stop trying and sulk?

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 06:57 PM) Right after Kenny does. Mark I just hate the morbid attitude. They should try and fill as many holes as possible. Let's actually reach the playoffs next year.

QUOTE (Real @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 06:07 PM) why would this team be signing more expensive free agents they aren't going anywhere next year. Great..when does Rick Hahn leave?

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 09:13 PM) Wgn just said a mets official accidentally put mets pennant gear on the mets site. They were comparing that to the kc/Astros game. My state's governor is a legitimate dumbass though

People on Twitter are talking about Cubs signing Greinke,Zimmerman or Price. Hey if they want to give Greinke 8 years more power to them.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 07:51 PM) Soler should have let that go into the ivy. Great Duda Heck they should kick every ball in the OF into the ivy

Keep pitching to Murphy...that's been working

Good nights work Hammel

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 07:37 PM) Good! Let them tie themselves to expensive starters. It's going to get awfully expensive with such a young team in five years or so I'm not complaining Lester making all that money as a #3 or #4...yikes

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 07:34 PM) Matz getting squeezed Doesnt matter when the Cubs are swinging at garbage

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 07:29 PM) My Cubs offseason prediction: talks heat up for Tyson Ross, they trade for him and also sign Price. Boast a rotation of: Price Arrieta Lester Ross Hendricks Edit: I guess Hendricks could be part of the deal in which case it is Hammel. So much money in that rotation

If we're still below .500 in 2017 then there will be a new front office. They can trade whoever at that point. Just if were that far below .500 in 2 years then there's going to be alot of damage to undo.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 10:12 PM) That was obvious months ago. Not really a troll but a cub fan looking for a reaction. I dont know why the mods havent disposed of him yet.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 10:10 PM) Rabbit called it right you area 100% troll! I said that in the last series too. No doubt about it.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) Not at all, just pure evil. Yeah...but it is funny

Bahaha!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 09:17 PM) Cacti I imagined Garcia crashing into a cactus and laughed...does that make me a bad person?

Murphy just doing things right
