Rowand44 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 11:31 AM) Cubs aren't going away, but willhave their best shot this year and next in a weak NL and Arrieta still under contract. NL playoffs is going to be about as tough as it can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/15954017...-ode-nba-finals Important news!!! Cubs to wear "track suits" on their road trip to pay homage to the NBA Finals, continues Maddon's Ingenious Theme-Oriented Strategy to keep regular season from getting too bored/complacent without any adequate competition in the NL.

caulfield12 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 The Heyward one has to be a decent-sized concern (but isn't because the team is playing so well overall). Edwin Jackson, completely irrelevant. Like worrying about Carlos Marmol, S. Castro or Soriano at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Vince Velasquez leaves after throwing 2 pitches, that's never good for a young guy who had had Tommy John before. And the greatest OF prospect baseball has ever seen on the greatest franchise in world sports history threw a runner out at home today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
