I still haven't seen a game yet this season. Only a game or two on WGN...which I missed because of work, and I cancelled my MLB.TV subscription after last year. Paying $120 or whatever it was to get pissed off isn't much of an investment!
If we are trying to get better is getting cast offs from shitty teams PIT (Maholm), OAK (DeJesus) and COL (Stewart) really the answer? I know we are trying to fill holes till guys I ready but I'd rather go through growing pains of Rizzo, Vitters and Jackson.

You don't want to rush top prospects
True but I'd much rather watch a team of under achieving prospects, than a team of under achieving overpaid vets (which is the worst type of team to watch IMO).

i thought about this after posting it last night....
rushing can be good or bad...depending on the prospect. some can handle it, and will thrive, but you can also detroy them if you rush them. gotta be a pita trying to figure out which is what when calling up young players
This team is just a disgrace. I was following gamecast on my phone so I don't know how it transpired exactly, but they were down 2-1 in the BOT 7th and had runners on 1st and 2nd and no outs. Soto ended up stiking out, then Byrd struck out and DeWitt grounded out. Did Soto try to bunt? Cause in that situation there is no f'n excuse to not bunt. If he did attempt to bunt then he is a true disgrace of an MLB player, bunting should be something every player is capable of doing. If he didn't even try to bunt then I'd love Sveum's explanation as to why the F he wasn't. Didn't this team have a bunting tourney in spring training. Seriously a disgrace of an MLB team. It's one thing to be a bad team, it's another to completely not know how to play fundamental/smart baseball. End of rant, this one anyway, sure to be plenty more this season!

Go Cubs
How many losses it will take.....
Before a whole bunch of people realize how fucking ridiculous it was.....
To get excited about a General Manager....
Rebuilding??
These assfucks have been rebuilding for 105 years.....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
right now the vision is clouded by lack of talent....they are going to be lucky to win 50 games
