It will be more than interesting to see who the Cubs put on the field tomorrow. As much as we bitched about our Cubs, which is a baseball fan's right, those guys will always hold a spot in my heart for 2016. I have been watching the Cubs for more decades than I care to admit and I truly...

It's amazing how well Peterson hit in Spring ball, and then when the bullets really start flying he doesn't answer the bell. But when all is said and done, he was exactly what his career said he was.

No, I believe McCaffery pursued Randle all the way to the end. He was a damn good player. The guy I was thinking about didn't develop much and I think went to a Div II or III school in Illinois somewhere. Tall skinny white kid. Anyway, the name isn't important. My point is some kids excel...

Way to represent there Kris. Leaving 5 men on base may not be a record for the All-Star game, but it is pretty atrocious.

If I was an opposing manager, I would fine any one of my pitchers that would throw a pitch in the strike zone to Baez.

Seems to me McCaffery offered a freshman over in the Quad Cities area early on in his tenure here. Don't remember where the kid wound up at, but he didn't progress as much as the coaching staffed hoped and I think he signed at a lower level.

Not comparing the two, but I think I can remember Ronnie Lester dunking maybe twice.

He managed 5 pts and 3.5 RBs per game last season

I think I read today that he is considering Europe as well.

Sorry Ash. You do not deserve a scholarship at a power institution. And to look at it like it is only for the 13th spot on the roster is wrong. Maybe, just maybe there is a legitimate player, who could make a real difference for the Hawks, out there that is considering Iowa but is slow to pull...

Yeah, I think the issue of whether the Cubs should be buyers or sellers has been decided. They certainly cannot afford to resign some of their free agents who are looking for big contracts while not even performing during their critical year.

Seems as though it was just a minute ago (June 13th [38-27])that the Cubs were tied for the lead in their division. You blink and they are 42-40 and 7.5 games out of first. Bryant is their best hitter and he is hitting a mediocre .265. Years ago, some of these guys who are starting but...

I haven't posted here much this year as I seem to have lost my enthusiasm for the Cubs (and I've been a lifelong fan). I watch a game here and there and wonder if there are any hitters on this team. Seems like every one of the leftovers from the WS team has regressed. Most of these guys should...

Like Fred Lynn, Bryant peaked early, but Fred Lynn played 17 seasons. Bryant will be lucky to play ten.

If the Gavitt games are going to continue to be an annual thing, the Big East has to commit to it. Villanova, Georgetown and UConn are siting them out this year. You can't have an annual rivalry like we have with the ACC if not every team in willing to participate. This is our second straight...

I've heard that it was Alando Tucker who recorded and leaked the information to the press. Evidently Gard did not retain him as one of his assistants.

I thought he got up and down the court pretty quickly last season, I guess the question was how many times he could do that. You would think working with Iowa's weight and dietician team, he would be in pretty decent shape by now. I guess we'll see come November, which gives him another four...

I feel badly for Austin. I think he made a mistake and is going to be disappointed in the amount of playing time he gets and the minimal impact he is going to have on the team. He should have taken a shot at a lower level team and actually get meaningful minutes playing against comparable...

Sounds as if Joe's stock is rising a bit these days. His measurables were good and he performed pretty well in the scrimmage yesterday. Think he plays again at 4:15 today on ESPNU. Luka has not helped his chances so far. Had horrible measurables and came up with a groin pull and missed his...

Keegan only averaged 1.9 fouls a game last year. Not too bad. I guess like someone said, it all depends on when he gets them. To continue the Worley comparison, Glen averaged 3.6 fouls for his career.
