Nice! Hope you had fun and repped the Chi properly.
Good to see all those Cubs fans in attendance. Miller Park is really nice, always a good time there not to mention you actually get some bang for your buck when you buy beer there, hate paying upwards of $8 for half a damn can of old style :x

I trust Theo...but Torres??????

 

[CP1708]

Addison is 22. Baez is 23. Happ is 22.

Torres is 19 in Single A. Awesome, but does he help us this year, next year, or the year after?

[CP1708]

And I forgot to add Carl Edwards Jr.

 

[sickickz23]

I'm having an argument with this guy on Facebook that he actually thinks that if Chapman come to the Cubs that he has to earn the closing job LOL SMH

[CP1708]

Also, Cubs with a huge comeback win, Giants/Nats lose, and Cards down 9-1 in the 2nd. Today already a great day, adding Chapman would be cherry on top.

 

[CP1708]

Soler too?

Could be larger package building.....

 

[illmatic34]

Think I'd rather have Sale. Just can't get down with Chapman because of the DA incident. Obviously though, closer is a bigger need.

 

[dmxfury]

He had a few 'incidients' in Cincinnati that didn't make national news. Dude just seemed to be involved in 'odd' circumstances

Just more of a reason why I don't like this guy

White Sox wouldn't trade us Sale. And even if they would entertain the thought, they'd want 4-6 players, 3 of which big league ready. They don't want the Cubs to shine.

 

[sickickz23]

Even ozzie guillen said it on local radio....Reinsdorf won't help the cubs towards a parade lol

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Sale is a pipe dream, highly doubt it manifest.
Quintana on the other hand....I strongly believe Jed can make something happen.
Kenny Williams and Rick Hanh should be fired, but once again Reinsdorf's loyalty to his inept front offices rears its ugly head.
The Sox would be smart to trade with the Cubs as we have some of the best prospects around.
