    Well things are looking up the last 3-5 days. That's good to see.

    This Bryant kid is going to be the real deal! No doubt in my mind that this kid is going to be a hell of a major league baseball player. As of now, he is leading all of Spring Training, with 6 dingers. Lets just hope the team can improve on its defense in the next few weeks. But again, its good to see them start winning a few games.

    Kris Bryant is going to be awesome. Pretty exciting team shaping up for you guys

    Anyone hear what Bryant's agent Scott Boras has been saying? He is pissed the Cubs might send his client down for the first 2 weeks of the season so the Cubs can control Bryant for 7 years, not 6. They will bring him back up late April to get another year out of him. I am all for it, I sure hope Theo doesn't give in to this…If Bryant is the real deal in 7 years he maybe the first 500 million Dollar player and Boras will probably push him to go to the Yankee's like he always does.

    Cubs would be foolish not to keep him down those 1st few weeks.

    It's business
    It's the smart move.
    Fuck Boras

    Yeah, no way they should have him on the opening day roster. Can't believe that rule is in the CBA....players really get fucked by it in scenarios like this.

    2 weeks until Opening Day.

    I am going to give these kids a chance.
    I am going to stay positive, as long as possible.
    I am going to enjoy the young talent, that THEO has put together.

    Then about 3 weeks in to the season, I will probably throw a shoe through the television set!

    Yea, between bryant, rizzo, casto, russel, and this soler guy the offense is there. I think the cubs are a pitcher or 2 shy of being a real contender. But that is something that can be acquired sometime now and the 2016 season. It's definitely getting exciting on the north side.

    Actually, the only thing exciting on the North Side....
    Is the fact that these clowns will probably not have the Bleacher construction ready until 2018!

    I'll have to get to a few Iowa Cubs games early this year to catch Bryant in town one last time. I think I saw him 4 or 5 times last year and he never hit a home run while I was there. I'd like to see him do that once before he goes up and hits 35 homers and wins rookie of the year this season!
