Opening Day for the Cubs


Recommended Posts

Yeah, I hope we get Kipper back, but I wouldn't be against getting Benson.  Benson would be our fourth or fifth starter, so he'd have a lot of pressure taken off.  He also has some nice stuff - he's got a pretty good slider, a nice pitch that runs away from lefties (two-seamer?).  Does he have a change?

 

Tom Goodwin blows.

Unless the Pirates pick up a chunk of Benson's salary, I want no part of him.

What is he making? Isn't it near 8 or 9 million? I think Pitt would take on his salary if we gave them Rauch and Stewart, or perhaps someone else. I guess it's all based upon opinion - if you think Benson still has it, then you pull the trigger. If you don't and you don't want to give up on Rauch/Stewart, then you stay with what you have. I guess this is all dependent upon how our rotation is doing by mid-July.

 

Maddux hits the leadoff man, and Wilson hits one to the warning track for a double. Runners on second and third, nobody out!

STone:  Don't worry it's early and the cubs can do everything, hell jesus is a cubs fan.

Jesus is more than a Cub fan, Jesus IS a Cub!!

 

Benson is making 6 million and is a mediocre National League pitcher at best. That's nearly twice what Toad Ritchie was making two years ago. :fyou KW why don't we have Kip Wells on this team?

:fight  :banghead  :stick  :fyou Benson

No man, it should all go to Chris Stynes.

 

With runner at 2nd and 3rd, no outs, Maddux starts feeding batting practice hanging sliders to this no-hitting, no-fielding scumbag and instead of spraying a drive somewhere, Stynes pops it up, which screws up their entire inning because automatic out Benson is hitting next.....

 

Should be 6-2 Pirates.
