Are the Cardinals seriously considering re-signing Waino? He was a great player for a long time, but he just doesn't have it anymore. He needs to hang it up.
If Mo does this, DeWitt should can his ass. [Reply]

Guess I don't completely hate it if its not much money and not expected as a starter. However, the obvious concern is giving him one of those living in the past deals and pencil in as a starter which is the last thing they should be doing with him looking washed. [Reply]

yeah, as long as they give him a JAG contract and tell him he has to earn everything and will pitch in the bullpen, fine. I could see some benefit of hitters facing him, then the next time Hicks. Being a valuable teacher to the young pitchers.
But, as a starter. Fuck that. With a multi year contract? Fuck that.They have already sacrificed games to let him pitch this year. [Reply]

There is not a single person that is going to buy into anything you are trying to sell because from top to bottom the Cubs have one of the best rosters in all of baseball. The only thing that will derail them right now is a series of injuries.
The Cubs scored the 9th most runs in MLB.
The Cubs had the 10th best rotation in MLB in terms of ERA.
The Cubs had the 3rd best team ERA in MLB.
Ya... they got lucky to win as many as they did.
All while missing significant portions of time from key players in both the lineup and rotation and bullpen. The collapse is near!!!!!!!!
Derail what? The fact that you all are not in the postseason says it all. [Reply]

It says this was the first year where the Cubs went through significant injuries for extended periods of time over the course of making their 4th straight post season with the previous 3 trips going to at least the NLCS.
If anything the offensive collapse the Cubs went through during the 2nd half will light a fire under Theo's ass to finally trade some of the redundant players on the MLB roster for pieces that compliment the rest of the roster to make a complete team.
Im also hopeful that after listening to his press conference he's getting an earful about Chili Davis because the Cubs went from a launch angle hitting coach to a guy who would rather see ground ball contact and the results speak for themselves. The Cubs stopped driving the ball in the air and in Theo's own words the offense "broke." [Reply]
Shut up with your injuries nonsense. You had 10 guys make over 450PA and your rotation had 3 guys make all 32 starts and a 4th did when you combine chatwood and hamels [Reply]

He's sad because his great Cubs dynasty will only result to 1 WS. [Reply]

It may or may not end with 1 WS. It's only been 2 years since they won a WS and they were the first team to actually reach the playoffs after winning the WS since the Phillies?
They have Bryant and Rizzo locked up for 3 more years with a team still winning 95+ games a season.
Let me know when the Royals and Cardinals make it to the post season again. [Reply]

In the past century, the Cubs have won two pennants and one World Series.
The Royals won two pennants and one World Series in two years. [Reply]

Well, except for the Cardinals, who not only reached the playoffs, but won at least one playoff series for the next three seasons. [Reply]

Forgot about the Cardinals since they haven't been shit since LaRussa left. My mistake. [Reply]
