I think the pitching staff is a almost ready for a go at things. My real hope is they would hit the button sooner rather than later. I'm ok with trying and failing rather than saying we are not trying. I just think as a leadership group that sounds better to me as a player than the Cubs...

The Cubs need to get back up to 10 or less games under .500

Marbles will be missed. There was a weird dynamic on last years team that was suppressed when winning but came up strong late and bit us. The team will need to make more balance next year in the half court sets. If we can get woody more touches things will be just fine. He will need to...

I still think he's a medium shot. Going to say D - League but gets drafted.

Uthoff is the key piece for next year. Can he complement woody in the post. If so that will be a good 1 - 2 punch. Jok, White, Gassy need someone to play well to find offensive rythem. If Uthoff heats up he will be the hype machine. Comes from CR so the paper out of there will be all over...

Transfers seem to ride the what is hot right now kind of wave. I think though last year's season was a success it left a bad basketball taste in eveyones mouth. I think transfer recruits are going on off that. The what's hot now does not seem to have same magnitiude of pull with HS kids.

The game and how players are managed changed a great deal in the last 30 years. So many more resources time and money, donners, networks, players, coaches all are gettings more and demanding more. Scholarships were great when not everyone could go to college. Now way more people go to college...

All that said nothing looks better than natural grass. I feel like playing on grass could be an advantage for iowa if they went back to it. Slow down some of the speed of the other teams and allow the game to be won lost in the trenches. In 7 games a field at any location should be able to...

Prove it. I have never heard this claim. I believe it was a year or so ago coaches were all mad at Mizzou for having lame field turf and tons of guys losing ACLs

Could be a nice addition. 6'8" is good height can't coach that.

Kris Bryant is getting the call to AAA Iowa. http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/11102799/chicago-cubs-promote-kris-bryant-triple-iowa?ex_cid=espnapi_public I'm pumped

Wilt was the best player to ever play the game. The game had to change to make it harder for him. He esentially beat basketball.

Fran can coach. I think he has his work cut out for him this season. Putting some expectations on some new players. Time to see if his big recruiting class can come out of the semi soph slump and start to rise again as juniors.

I would not want to play Bama. I am so happy OU kicked their butt in the post season last year. Keep the SEC out of big 10 country. If you play SEC teams play the bottom teams like a Kentucky or somthings.

I am also pumped for Jeff. As for the folks saying the Cubs shoudl spend money else where. The Cubs needs to make a smaller hedge to their on field product. Their baseball portfolio right now is all banking on the farm. An injury here or somthing there and it could really derail the train...

My biggest issue here is how Ricketts is linking his ability to put a competitive baseball team on the field with real estate interests in the Wrigleyville area. If he were just persuing a clubhouse upgrade this could have been already paid for and done. But because this involes all these other...

I am not sure I a going to buy this. The Cubs have one thing other teams don't and that is revenue and money! Players will go to Chicago I've never heard of Chicago losing out to the D-Backs because of facilities... If you can find examples I will listen. This came from the forbs mag article...

Ok - Rant not over........ Just saw this posted today and it proves that Ricketts needs the Cubs to be bad in order to make is development case. Without the Cubs being the worst team in baseball he can't successfully make the we can't compete arguement. Don't like this guy one bit...

The Jeff stat just proves this team is closer than Ricketts wants to admit. They are a bat and maybe a closer away from being pretty respectable in the NL. If they would have spent some money this off season people would be talking about how the Cubs are on the rise. As long as Ricketts keeps...
