Another reason for the Cubs not to sign Pujols or Fielder: so they can re-sign Starlin Castro to a mega deal when the time comes and they find themselves in the spot the Mets are in with Reyes.

The Cubs have more than enough room in payroll to do both. They could sign Pujols for $25mil, and still lock up Castro long term and buy out his arbitration years and some out of free agency.

IDK...Mets thought they had enough too, and now had to clear some payroll and are still not sure whether they'll re-sign Reyes (I for one think they will...they HAVE to...but, you never know).
Perhaps the Cubs WILL be able to re-sign Castro, since by then they'll hopefully have gotten rid of Soriano and Ramirez, and their big contracts. |

I'm about to buy a authentic Cubs jersey. I don't know which though. Would you guys go Castro ( with all star, stars on back of neck ) or Matt Garza.
Garza is about 20$ cheaper. Both my favorite players. |

The Cubs just completed being purchased. There's money to play with and I'm sure spending that money will not be an issue. |

I know the Cubs are not going to the playoffs, but I would love to see this streak last a few more games.

They may not go to the playoffs, but it'd be awesome if they could play the role of spoilers.

Reyes leaves the game in the 2nd inning with a tight hamstring. Hamstring injuries ALWAYS linger, so he's likely headed for the DL, eliminating any chance he might have had to be the Mets' first ever MVP. The chances were probably slim anyway since voters use the playoffs as a tiebreaker, could see Fielder winning it.
Then a few innings later, Daniel Murphy comes in to play 2nd for the second time since May, and he is promptly spiked in the knee by a stealing Jose Costanza and he's fucked and probably gone for the year. Fuck me. Guess I'm gonna be going to see the Buffalo Bisons on Wednesday. I should probably start rooting for the Phillies and Eagles now...I'll sabotage them from within and they'll be reduced to a crippled mess in no time. |

I guess the Pirates don't feel like winning anymore because according to ESPN, the team just had its worst homestand in team history and that is saying a lot considering how awful they've been for years.

These announcers are fantastic. I can barely tell they're fellating Schilling at the same time.

Swish cranks it...do the deepest part of the field where Ellsbury can nicely get under it. Gonna be one of those games.

How does this happen. 2 weeks ago Pirates were in first place. Now they are 10 games back. Seriously. How does that happen. You lose every game in a 7 game crucial home stand against teams with even worse records then you. Guh.

Bobby Valentine was saying baseball has to do something with how long the Red Sox pitchers take in between pitches. He'll be talked to definitely, he should know better than to besmirch Boston on ESPN.

The way things are progressing, definitely before the Sept 1 expansion. Sounds like they're trying to figure out how to make room.

Tigers give manager Jim Leyland a 1-year extension. Keeping him around for the 2012 season. And GM Dave Dombrowski an extension until 2015.
One less opening for Cashman to consider. |
