    That was quite the hatchet job.

    I don't mind Bud Selig but this is idiotic.

    The Royals Pythagorean W-L was only 84-78 as well. This is a team that is ripe for a return to mediocrity. If I was a betting man I'd take the Las Vegas under for wins in 2015.

    The sleeping giant has awakened.

    They will. I could see them signing James Shields and Jake Peavy this winter. Or Jon Lester. Or Max Sherzer... Jon Lester it is. And add Jason Hammel back to the fold. Maddon will have talent to work with. I don't like this at all. The Cubs are like the United States on December 7, 1941. A sleeping giant about to awaken.

    I agree.

    He's a pretty big name, so I'm sure he and his agent figured he'd find a job. Managers get fired all the time while they're still under contract, so it wouldn't take illegal acts for the Maddon team to see that he would be sought after by several teams, including the Cubs. Joe Maddon is one the most respected managers in baseball. He knew he would have no problems finding a better gig. He is also an articulate and recognizable guy and he knew he could take a year off from managing and take a high paying job with ESPN for Fox for a year if he needed something to open up.

    This is not a good thing for Brewer fans.

    I didn't mean it as a criticism of your post. Please accept my apologies. I just detest websites like deadspin because they adhere to no journalistic sense of integrity.

    I prefer legitmate websites over the TMZ of sports (deadspin): http://m.mlb.com/news/article/99707820/st-louis-cardinals-rookie-outfielder-oscar-taveras-killed-in-car-accident-in-dominican-republic Very sad.

    Bud Selig never wanted steroids in baseball. Blame the player's union because they are the ones who fought drug testing. Bud Selig could not universally impose drug testing. It had to be collectively bargained.
  13. 502 to Right
    I have no problem honoring Bud Selig with a statue but retiring a number for him when he never wore one is just stupid.
  14. 502 to Right
    I will never root for a team managed by Ned Yost.
  15. 502 to Right
    Jon Heyman has no credibility in my book. He is, and has always been, a stooge for Scott Boras. The man knows no shame.
  16. 502 to Right
    I don't think anyone questions Lucroy's effort. That's what counts.
  17. 502 to Right
    Only if he makes the Baseball Hall of Fame.

    Who let Davey Nelson in the booth? Was Rock hit by a bus today?

    The 'stache - Please tell me on this doll where Mr. Ortiz touched you.
  20. 502 to Right
    Wang should be the new 8th inning set up guy.
  21. 502 to Right
    Everybody have fun tonight...

    I love hearing "Jessica" by the Allman Brothers. It reminds me of Field of Dreams among other things.

    As one poster said you can't build a SP staff in 1, 2 or 3 offseason with trades and FA. This Cubs move just insured they wont be a threat for at least 5+ years. Could have been sooner. Their fans should be pissed. The Cubs can sign Hammel as a FA after this season and they can sign Samardzija as a FA after next season. Neither one is signing an extension with the A's. The Cubs lose nothing in this deal that they can't get back.

    There is no comparison between KC and Chicago's resources + Theo Epstein. I think after the 2015 season Chicago will be mopping the floor with teams like the Brewers, Red, and Pirates. I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

    As a Brewer fan, I'm very concerned with the juggernaut Theo is building in Chicago. If I were a Cubs fans I'd be very, very excited for the future. I have to give credit to Theo, he has stuck to his plan of building a team for future and has not gotten distracted with wasting money on mid-level FA talent that won't be with the team in 2016. Also, with respect to shortstops--a team can never have too many SS prospects. It's the most difficult position on the field to find, teams are always looking for them (making them excellent trade chips when you have too many), and a shortstop's defensive talent nearing always translates to other positions (assuming they hit well enough to justify the position change). And why would Cubs' fans complain? They supported the team through dozens and dozens of terrible seasons before with a management that had no clue and no plan. Now they have "terrible" team with management that has a plan and a bright future. For this season (and maybe next) they should be content to get drunk on Old Style and watch losing baseball like they always have. Edit - Here's an excellent article from Joe Posanski on Theo's rebuilding plan: http://www.nbcsports.com/joe-posnanski/epsteins-building-offensive-juggernaut
