    I think JD is great -- knowledgeable, honest ("I really think Junior needs to go back to Iowa and work on some things..." ) and genuinely funny. Bob was more "baseball funny" (i.e. "They said I ran like I was angry at the ground." -- a line I heard Mark Grace repeat, by the way...) and old school ("The Cubs need to focus on playing the game the right way"). Both are appealing, but JD is more likely to make me laugh out loud.

    from Bruce Miles article in the TCR twitter box...Renteria on Olt:
    "Mikey did very nice," Rick Renteria said. "Nice at-bat against (Pirates reliever John) Axford there at the end (a walk in the eighth inning). He had some good at-bats. He took some tough breaking balls and made contact. He's keeping his head down on the ball, and he looks comfortable. It's good to see."

    from Baseball Prospectus... http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=24601
    Duane Underwood, RHP, Cubs (Low-A Kane County) A second-round selection out of baseball hotbed Marietta, Georgia, the 6-foot-2 right-hander has been moved a level at a time, like many Cubs pitchers. Nineteen for much of this season, Underwood found success with his lively fastball, living in the 92 to 94 mph range. The pitch often gets up to 96, and he generates nice downward plane with some arm-side run from a high-3/4 slot. Underwood likes to attack with the fastball, but his command can get away from him when he rushes through the delivery. The command may struggle to reach big-league average, despite the solid 3.2 walks-per-nine. Underwood also features a curve with big break anywhere from 73 to 79 mph, usually living in the middle of that velocity band. It has tight spin and can be thrown down and away to righties for an out pitch, but other times comes out of his hand high and floats. The curveball will have to tighten up at the higher levels, but it has the potential to be a solid-average offering. Underwood's changeup shows promise at 83 to 85 mph with some arm-side run and fade, but he only throws it three to five times an outing to left-handed hitters. In all, the package is intriguing. The young right-hander has had nice results at Low-A, but he's still a long way away from being a pitcher. You have to dream a bit to see the mid-rotation potential; the gap between his present skills and that of a big-league starter are vast. –Jordan Gorosh

    Len loves JD. JD is different than Brenly, so I think this alleged lack of chemistry is you guys missing Brenly rather than what's really happening.

    Pujols was also, you know, old.

    Castro must have a pretty good workout routine, too, since he's on the field every day for the most part - and this was clearly not an injury that had any contribution from a lack of being in shape. I'm no doctor of course, but backs scare me a bit more because they are so central to hitting, I'd think. Pujols went from being other worldly to just good after he started getting back issues. By the way, Pujols real last name is Alcántara. Pujols is a middle name - in the Latin American sense of how they often have more than one - must be a way of maintaining familial links in the name - would love an explanation from a Latin American person on that. I know that the reason some Indian (subcontinent) names get so long is that they append given (I think) names to an existing name. But obviously I digress.

    I was hopeful they'd be better. I have always said, games are won at the line of scrimmage. The beasts on the two lines win/lose games. Most of what else happens is pretty secondary. You can have an average QB look awfully good when your O line dominates, and when your defensive line is mashing and getting the other offense off the field. I didn't see the game, but if they gave up 193 yards on the ground game, then the defensive line hasn't changed a bit. I was under the impression that they were very focused on improvements at the line of scrimmage, and maybe they were, since the signings indicated some concern there. They seemed to address the O line last year. Tucker has absolutely no imagination based on what I saw last year, and doesn't seem to know how to make his current players fit a defensive scheme, so this season seems pretty lost, since they're not going to fire Tucker during the season. Cutler is Cutler. I was a little uncomfortable with the ginormous contract, and now I'm almost thinking, wait til 2016 and the end of that contract. We should all be in good moods by then anyway, right? Because it should be year one of the Cubs dynasty.

    Living in Texas, I was spared having to watch. I signed up for the NFL instant replay for the ipad but I am not going to waste my time watching this. Regarding your comments... ... I don't think you're wrong. I will say I was expecting more out of the defense, and if they sign a bunch of what are considered to be high caliber defensive guys and still get cremated on the rush, that's on the defensive coach, and they aren't going to fire him after one game, so.... The season seems over to me. We'll see how bad the destruction is against the 49ers, but I'm pretty much just waiting for spring training now, or hoping Derrick Rose's early performances so far are just rust.
