June 4, 20169 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 11:31 AM) Cubs aren't going away, but willhave their best shot this year and next in a weak NL and Arrieta still under contract. NL playoffs is going to be about as tough as it can get.
June 5, 20169 yr The first 1/3 of the season: Chi 39-15 -- Pit 29-25 10 StL 28-26 11 Mil 25-29 14 Cin 19-35 20 No pressure in the playoffs.
June 6, 20169 yr http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/15954017...-ode-nba-finals Important news!!! Cubs to wear "track suits" on their road trip to pay homage to the NBA Finals, continues Maddon's Ingenious Theme-Oriented Strategy to keep regular season from getting too bored/complacent without any adequate competition in the NL.

June 7, 20169 yr Theo Epstein’s two biggest mistakes just hit rock bottom http://nypost.com/2016/06/06/theo-epsteins...it-rock-bottom/
June 7, 20169 yr The Heyward one has to be a decent-sized concern (but isn't because the team is playing so well overall). Edwin Jackson, completely irrelevant. Like worrying about Carlos Marmol, S. Castro or Soriano at this point.

June 8, 20169 yr Vince Velasquez leaves after throwing 2 pitches, that's never good for a young guy who had had Tommy John before. And the greatest OF prospect baseball has ever seen on the greatest franchise in world sports history threw a runner out at home today.
June 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 03:53 PM) How the f*** is Jason Heyward sniffing an all star game? The same way Omar Infante was last year
June 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 03:53 PM) How the f*** is Jason Heyward sniffing an all star game? He's not. He won't have the votes and he definitely won't make it on merit.
June 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 04:02 PM) I did say sniffing not in fwiw He's not really sniffing. He's pretty far behind the other guys.
June 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 04:06 PM) He's not really sniffing. He's pretty far behind the other guys. Do they roll out 3 outfielders for the whole game?
June 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 04:07 PM) Do they roll out 3 outfielders for the whole game? If you're not top three, you're not in and therefore no closer than anyone else who is not in.
June 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) If you're not top three, you're not in and therefore no closer than anyone else who is not in. So there are no backup outfielders for the game?
June 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 05:12 PM) So there are no backup outfielders for the game? They're not chosen by fan vote.
June 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 04:24 PM) They're not chosen by fan vote. Ok so who chooses them?
June 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 04:33 PM) Ok so who chooses them? Managers and players.
June 8, 20169 yr No way Collins is going to take Heyward...zero chance of that happening. And no way he's included in the five man fan vote, either.
June 9, 20169 yr The Cubs are staying relaxed while meeting lofty expectations (barf) http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/16068846...ty-expectations

Although being good at baseball probably helps. QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 04:26 PM) #Cubs today acquired OF Chris Coghlan from the #Athletics for INF Arismendy Alcantara. Not sure I love this move, but they have so much depth it doesn't really matter.
