Color me skeptical that this team is going to be anything but a doormat this season.

I think this year will be better without Zambrano, but they aren't going to make a huge difference this year. I say 3-5 years to build a new team that may be a contender.... i hope!!!

I'll look at the schedule, and mine, and get back to you. I don't buy tickets until spring usually.

Small price to pay to see a better team play:gary
As long as you don't dress and act like a typical Northsider yuppie cub fan, you'll have a blast:r Just messin cause you're new here;)
And I never have problems at the Cell, the area across the Dan may get pretty bad though.

I was just being a smart a$$ like usual!!! I wish I was a yuppie driving a BMW drinking an $8 soy latte... Well not really as I think about!!!

I like the Cell. I still call it Comiskey from it originally being named that. I miss the original park. I spent many summers in the old park. I work on a property on Parnell. You can see the Cell from the front porch.

You think the Sox will do much without Buerhle? I was a pitcher for many years and always liked watching games he was pitching

I call it both really, cell or old comiskey. Burls was a move I didn't like to see, but we had to do it. We still have a solid pitching rotation. One thing needed is a closer. I think the biggest factor for the Sox to have a good year is Dunn, Beckham and Rios having bounce back years. We have drastically improved our farm system thus far though, so we do have a pretty bright future.

Rios might be the worst outfielder defensively I have ever seen, Nate. "Bounce" back might take on a whole new meaning. :r

I don't know Tom, Juan Pierre is pretty friggin bad too:r And for Dunn, he will need more than just a bounce back too, he'll need a complete overhaul:r I wish we could dump him somewhere.

For sure. He was so damn bad last year. I hope his talents in the NL return to him next year. I wouldn't bet on it though.. He may never "get" what a DH is.

You can stick a fork in him b/c he's Dunn.

I know, bad pun.;s
Even though he's not a Red anymore, I still hope the best for him and that he at least gets one more big year, but it looks like he's done.

It's a pun that's been used many times on a Sox forum I post on:r
Yeah, I hope for the best, but expecting the worst at this point. When people say he had a bad year, it really was bad ALL year. Every single at bat was just awful(save a few hr's he had).

Cubs are also showing interest in Yoenis Cespedes.. He would really help the Cubs.. Castro and Cespedes is a decent gamble for future building blocks..

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 
Good to see they are looking to build for the future. I know that Epstein can't turn it around the first year he's in there, but the guy has already made some good moves. Dumping Zambrano was my favorite so far!!!

What about Hendry? I thought that was a great move as well. The Cubs are moving in the right direction.

Very good move, but I think almost every Cubs fan hated Zambrano since he was such a hot head

Big Z was not a very good team player. However, I think he was a little bitter for not doing well in the previous playoff years. No excuse though. He is a very good starter though. It wouldn't shock me to see him put up big time numbers this year. That or Ozzie will kill 'em before opening day:r

I think people just hated his attitude.. He seemed bitter towards the Cubs, you could really tell he wanted to win bad, but the team never came together. Z was stupid for a lot of things though. His pitching was always very good:2

Not sure why. Here's the play by play...
Guess they wanted to play a match up on Kottaras. Either way, a "W" for the good guys.


Top 9th: Milwaukee - N. Morgan grounded out to shortstop - R. Braun struck out swinging - N. Aoki safe at first on pitcher M. Garza's throwing error, N. Aoki to second - G. Kottaras hit for T. Dillard - S. Camp relieved M. Garza - G. Kottaras grounded out to shortstop
