    7-run 1st. Only the fucking Cubs would then lose 15-7. Team full of fucking Mendozas.

    It was fun to think they had 1 last hurrah in them anyhow. If even only for a couple months.

    A couple of fun stats about this one.

    1.  Teams with 7 run leads are 234-1 this season up until yesterday.  Now 234-2.
    2.  Only one other time since 1900 has a team been up by 7 runs in the first inning and go on to lose by 7+ runs (1976 SF Giants).

    This team is not good at all.  Trade KB and start the rebuild.  Please.

    Bad timing too. KB is cold as ice right now too.

    Yesterday will forever be remembered as THE GREATEST DAY IN CUBS HISTORY!!!!

    San Diego took Darvish and his salary way from us!!!!!!!


    3 years with the Cubs

    15-14

    $65 million or so for those 3 years?

    FUCK DARVISH!!!!

    My prediction? He will not win in double digits, for any year, he is with San Diego.

    BANK ON THAT

    I do think there are teams that would still pay a hefty price.  He's in a funk, but the fact that he plays almost anywhere on the field brings a lot of value, despite the cold bat.

    The list is long.  Schwarber having an all world run as of late.  Castellanos playing at an MVP level.  Yu tearing it up.  SMH

    I guess my Rizzo card collection is nigh coming to an end.  Ugh.

    What a completely mismanaged team for the last 5 years... :angry:  And I don't mean Maddon or Rossy.

    Who gets traded away first? Depends i guess on if they intend on doing a complete rebuild again. 

    Kimbrel
    Bryant 
    Contreras 
    Baez
    Rizzoli
    Hendricks
    Tepera 
    Chafin
    Other?


    My guess is Contreras.

    I don't think moving Contreras is a priority. They've had backup catcher issues all season so he's basically all they have at that position right now.  He'd be the one (if I could only choose one) guy I'd keep to anchor a rebuild. Although I have a bad feeling the Cubs mgmt thinks Baez is that guy.
    My guess is Bryant or Rizzo go first.

    Without digging into current contract details, I’d say the most likely to go is Kimbrel, although I still very much think it should be Bryant. If the Cubs don’t make Rizzo a Cub for life I’ll have to seriously question my loyalty to this organization. The rest can go.

    My money is on Kimbrel too.  No reason to have a stud closer if you're not winning games and not contending.  
    A team making a legit push without a solid closer will give up a good amount to secure a sure thing.

    Bryant would be next as he has the most value of anyone else.
    Then Baez.
    I don't see Rizzo going anywhere, at least this season.
    If the Cubs had a legit backup catcher, Contreras would be an option.

    Yeah, I'm sure I'm wrong on Contreras. Has to be an immediate need at C for a serious contender. I know Kimbrel seems logical too, but I think they can be picky with him. They can gamble on his performance and trade him next year if they want. A guy like Chafin having a career year and being very inexpensive might make him the first piece to go. 

    Sans Boras as his agent, I would rather keep Bryant over Baez at this point,, but that's just me.

    I would love nothing more than a "44" flag hanging from the poles when it's all said and done.

    Thinking today about how much it is going to suck going through another rebuild so soon. Remember thinking they would get more than 1 ring out of this group? 

    Looking back, so glad the team bailed Maddon out during game 7. This pill would be much tougher to swallow otherwise.
