And it's a train. END OF YEAR IN-GAME DISCUSSION THREAD [PARACHAT] IT DOESN'T MATTER (W - DO WE CARE? L - NO WE DON'T) AT THE SKOKIE POLICE AND FIRE RECREATIONAL SOFTBALL TEAM (W - BAD- L - WORSE) Wrigley Field, 1:20 pm, or just whenever. Come in late, bring the family, all the ticket-takers quit yesterday. Weather: A swirling mix of 77% Nitrogen, 22% Oxygen and 1% Cub Fog TV: Something other than WGN. Who decided I don't get to watch the last Cubs game? Radio: WGN, XM 188
Fragile Veteran Pitcher D (Stats: 90% has-been, 10% never-was) against Some Guy We've Never Heard OF, RHP (His Stats Don't Matter. He Doesn't Have Any. He will win.)
Who cares about the game? The catering in Parachat is to die for. Try the Womacked Crab Cakes, they're a specialty.

I will be at the big event stopping in on my way to the Bears game. Baker's last game is no big deal to me. It's like taking the Captain of the Titanic's command away from him as the water is washing over the deck. He's definitely at fault for hitting the ice berg, but the real blame lies with those who didn't give him any lifeboats.* * In this strained analogy, lifeboats to the Captain of the Titanic= players to Dusty Baker... or something.

And then there was one... We've spent half the season speculating on what is going to happen in the off-season. As much as I hate to see the baseball season end (yes, even this miserable season), I'm looking forward to seeing what Hendry and the Cubs are actually going to do to make 2007 a better year. I suppose an announcement on Dusty's future will come first and then maybe something will happen with Ramirez. My guess is that whatever happens with Ramirez will dictate what Hendry does the rest of the off-season. Part of me expects Hendry to make a big splash in the FA market. Another part expects to be underwhelmed by Hendry's efforts. I guess we'll see.

I was awaiting the big FA splash last year. It never happened. Because we had Wood, Prior coming back in "May", and then Wade Miller in "June". I'm thinking Hendry could have offered a two-year deal to Pierre early on for probably less than he will inevitably get. But now of course, we're waiting on Pie. You can bet - based on other premier speed guys who hit first in the order (Lofton, Butler, Roberts, etc.) he will play well into his 30's.

This is a good Chicago sports day, the Vikings lose, MacFail is gone, Dusty is done, and the Bears play tonight. Please fire Jabba the Donut tomorrow.

OHHH, FitSimons last answer to the question of will they sell the Cubs? I'll paraphrase his answer: "we did retain financial advisors this week to look at our properties. We will not discuss the sale of any property." So they will consider it and maybe do it, but they won't talk to the press about it. That sentance is going to be a big headline tomorrow.

So now the Cubs are being run by the head of marketing.It looks like Hendry emerges as the winner of a clubhouse coup. He's a pal of John McDoughnuts. Here's McDonough's pic if you don't know him. John McDonough

If the Cubs ever decide they miss Dusty, they can always hire someone from the players' union as manager, who will allot at-bats according to years of service and amount of dues paid in. The guy can wear #12 and it will be like Dusty never left.

The MacPhail announcement really came out of the blue. For now, McDonough is being called the interim president, but he's talking like he's going to be there for a while. I think (or at least hope) that McDonough understands that the best way to market the Cubs is to win. And from the way he is talking, he seems to have a real appreciation for the fans. I hope I'm not just being naive, but McDonough is at least saying all of the right things. Of course, the proof will be in what moves are made in the off-season. Until McDonough and Hendry prove me wrong, I'm expecting some big moves.

    Childersb3: Miguel Cruz walked six in 1.2 IP in his last start, so I guess he is improving. Wilme Mora also walked six in one of his appearances a week or two ago, and one or two others have walked five. I don't know what would be the most I have ever seen a pitcher throw in a game out here, because the manager / pitching coach usually gets the pitcher out of the game if it gets too ridiculous. 

    As for the attendance, probably about 20 of the 25 were early arrivals for the Savannah Bananas game who came over to Field # 1 to see what was going on, and once they saw all the bases on balls (12 walks by Cubs pitchers and four by Angels pitchers) they ran away screaming. I'm used to it so it didn't bother me that much.

    Jed has added Teheran, Tyranski, Kissaki, and now Straily and Nico Zeglin today.

    Zeglin is 24 yrs old. Pitched well at Long Beach St in '23 and well in some Indy Ball.

    They also added Reilly and Viets in late ST.

    Have to search for MiLB arm depth anywhere you can and at all times!!!

    25 in Attendance!!!

    Phil, is that a backfield record?

    Also, 6 BBs for Cruz in 2 IP. What's the most walks you've seen in one EXT ST outing that you can recall?

    He has a pulse. Apparently that’s the only requirement at this point.

    cubs sign dan straily...for some reason.  minor league deal.

    welcome back.

    zac rosscup is down in mexico trying to make it happen...maybe they could throw him a contract, too.  junior lake is his teammate.  shore up a bunch of holes with some washups.

    The great thing about going to live sports events is you don't know if you're going to see something historic. Today I went to the Cub game, after putting the liner back in my coat and fishing my Cubs knit hat out of the closet. I needed all that- my seats are in the upper deck, left, so the east wind was in my face. Both teams failed to capitalize on good situations, but both starters did a good job to accomplish this. So, we go to the bottom of the sixth inning. The Cubs tie it up, and then Pete Crow-Armstrong comes up. We all know he would still be in AAA if not for injuries, and future Hall-of-Famer Justin Verlander absolutely carved up the young fellow up in his first two plate appearances. So this time he hits a fly ball. The wind was blowing in and had suppressed several strong fly balls- including a rocket off Altuve's bat that Canario hauled in (does anybody else remind me of Jorge Soler?) , but the ball kept carrying and carrying. 107mph, legit angle and carry. The crowd went nuts, the dugout went nuts. Maybe, just maybe, I saw the first homer from a long-term Cub.

    Which was my original premise. They won the trades but lost their souls. They no longer employ the Cardinal way which had been so successful for so long.

    STL traded away a lot of minor league talent that went on to do nothing in the arenado + goldschmidt trades.  neither guy blocked any of their minor league talent in the pipeline, too.  that's ideal places to add talent.

    Natural cycle of baseball. Pitching makes adjustments in approach to counter a hot young rookie. Now it’s time for Busch and his coaches to counter those adjustments. Busch is very good and will figure it out, I think sooner than later.

    In 2020, the pandemic year and the year before they acquired Arenado, the Cardinals finished second and were a playoff team. Of the 12 batters with 100 plate appearances, 8 of them were home grown. Every member of the starting rotation (if you include Wainwright) and all but one of the significant relievers were home grown. While there have been a relative handful of very good trades interspersed which have been mentioned, player development had been their predominant pattern for decades - ever since I became an aware fan in the ‘70’s

    The Arenado deal was not a deal made out of dire need or desperation. It was a splashy, headline making deal for a perennial playoff team intended to be the one piece that brought the Cardinals from a very good team to a World Series contender. They have continued to wheel and deal and have been in a slide ever since. I stand by my supposition that that deal marked a notable turning point within the organization. They broke what had been a very successful formula for a very long time.
