I have no idea what's wrong with us this year
Plenty...pitching, fielding, Sandoval, Ramirez, Ortiz....
Ditto. I remember being bored and procrastinating from study, so I watched a bit of the 2011 world series. having dismissed the game for years I got into that series (helped the series itself was very exciting) and from there started watching the next year. Cubs felt like the right fit to follow, I'm a sucker for a ground like Wrigley, and there are parallels between them and my favourite sporting side (North Sydney Bears, basically decade upon decade of futility). Just got into it, even more so after getting to some MLB games over there.Good to see new people getting into baseball. If you spoke to me 4 years ago I wouldn't have cared at all for the MLB, but once I got into it I really respected how great the game really is. There is truly something magical about the game of Baseball, and this coming from a typical Aussie who loves his Cricket.
No point doing that now, you're (near enough to) out of contention, given the gap suddenly opened up by the Yankees in the division and being well off the wild card pace. I mean you could get hot but it does not seem likely. They'll be around in November, no point selling off your farm for two months of them that aren't needed.We have no decent pitchers at all. I want Cueto and Kazmir to come in....

If options for younger starters with a few years of control were there that'd be a better option. Same route I'd like the Cubs to go.
Just on the Cubs, how good is Schwarber going. What a start. Lineup is suddenly starting to look pretty sweet, especially as it comes around
9. Russell
1. Fowler
2. Schwarber
3. Bryant
4. Rizzo
5. Soler
Fowler won't be there long term, and if there's a flaw it's that there is no real lead off hitter on the horizen, but it's the sort of lineup that should keep us going this season (and could pull some shocks in October if we get there). And the potential of it is off the charts.
Pity Castro is a bit of a disaster at present. Will be interesting what happens with him and Baez.
Trade season has finally kicked off. Kazmir has gone to the Astros for a couple of prospects. Arismis Ramirez from the Brewers to the Pirates.
Apparently Detroit are making Price and Cespedes available
Thanks, we needed the jinx!Jinxed him
We are being helped by the ineptness of our divvy rivals.Yankees are looking good which I hate
