    Article in Trib saying Cubs TV ratings have doubled from last yr and this past months games are 5x higher than last year's average. Once again great call WGN America.

    This is not a thread about the fucking Cardinals. :unamused:

    Will you make me one? I know this thread partly exists because of a certain band's front man....

    Denorfia, Sczur and Herrera in the lineup with Harren pitching vs Baumgartner. WTF? I don't like our chances at all.

    Neither does Maddon, apparently.

    We're something like 24-6 in our last 30 and 4 of those 6 losses have been Dan Haren starts. We replaced Edwin Jackson with a guy that throws like Edwin Jackson.

    what do you guys think about the reliever that the we just picked up from the Mariners?
    I don't follow the American league, so I don't know anything about him.

    He's very good at blowing saves. Should fit right in!

    He actually led the AL in saves last year, and posted 2 decent seasons prior to that at Tampa under Maddon. He had one or two good years at Detroit in the 8 or so seasons prior. He's been blowing a lot of saves this year though. If Maddon & Bosio can get him back to his Tampa form, he'll be a decent addition. I wouldn't hold my breath, though.

    I'm not a fan of Rodney at all. He is another guy that will make us all hold our breath in the 9th inning. He's definitely not the long term answer for the 9th inning.
  • Anyone in Chicago watch the game last night?
    Pretty cool how they let us listen to Vin Scully for a half inning.
    Also very cool to hear what Scully had to say about Lester.

    He was a waste of money!
