What did PECOTA predict for last season? They feel that the Cubs will be good, but the rest of their division will be scary good. Besides, the Cubs have one of the (if not THE) oldest pitching staffs in the game.

Agreed. No need to rush him back.

This happens all the time. I think Reinsdorf was somewhat serious about Addison since the current stadium was designed to fit the street grid there. I don't think Reinsdorf (or McCaskey) ever seriously considered moving to NW Indiana. By making that threat, he held the City of Chicago AND the State of Illinois hostage. Steinbrenner once threatened to move the Yankees to Jersey, and the Cardinals threatened to build their new stadium in EAST St. Louis. The city of Cincinnati is adjacent to TWO other states. I don't know for sure, but I imagine they played that card too.

Exactly. He didn't look very good when he came off the DL last year, and he might never be what he once was. Keep it.

Glenn DiSarcina (the younger brother of former Angels SS Gary DiSarcina) played in the Sox system from 1991-1996.

I believe Kevan is out of options.

Don't forget TROY Fryman, CHAD Durham, and JOSH Crede.

I heard that Jim Palmer and a few Oriole players have described Machado as a lazy player... I don't want him. Pujols isn't the reason the Angels are mediocre, and the Cubs were a better team before Heyward and Darvish. That being said, those are all TERRIBLE contracts.

No surprise there. IMO, he was only marginally better than Ventura.

Too bad for him. I see a FELDCO commercial at least twice a day. I knew somebody who was in a commercial for Chicken Helper several years ago... she made $40,000 in residuals in just over a year.

I have to laugh at these Cub fans who think the sky is falling. They still have the best record in the National League, and there is almost NO WAY they're going to miss the playoffs. I've seen a lot of baseball over the past four decades, and in a majority of cases (`05 Sox), teams who limp their way into the playoffs tend to get really hot once those playoff games begin. In other words, the fact that the Cubs are playing like crap right now might actually be a GOOD thing.

Just had a thought... If Spiegs was drawing residuals from FELDCO, he wouldn't have to work for at least a decade.

Same for Giolito and Lopez too.

No DSL game. Their season over?

It's amazing what good pitching can do for a team. This is the kind of pitching I had hoped for all year... that's why I believed 75-80 wins was possible when this team left Arizona in late March. I'm tired of rooting for the draft pick. I smiled when I heard Carlos Rodon say "I'm tired of losing."

The Kopech callup created a lot of White Sox discussion for a day. It WAS fun! Here's an interesting read Goff

He used to do work on the NBA Channel on Sirius XM. Spiegel and Parkins to reunite! Spiegs will fill in for Mac next Mon-Wed. I'm certain sports radio will be more fun once the Sox become relevant again.

At the chicagofanatics boards. It may have just been fill-in work, IDK. I thought he quit Sirius XM before he left Atlanta?

It sucks for Spiegs, but THAT'S THE RADIO BUSINESS. IMO, Spiegs has no reason to hold a grudge against Mac. Spiegs is still doing fill-in work at The SCORE. Last I heard, Goff was on the air in Charlotte, NC. I think he's finished in Chicago. Here's a thread about Spiegs... Mac Meets Spiegel

Robert is in AZL too!

IIRC, Eaton and Todd Frazier had to move lockers just to get away from each other.

My thoughts exactly. If Eloy gets called up now and we lose that extra year of control, people are going to b**** about that when the time comes (and they'll have EVERY right to). Is that supposed to be funny?

DSL team with win #10 today!
