CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!

Jake has to be up for Cy Young, 18 wins and a rediculous second half of the season when it matters most.  Add a no-hitter to the resume too.  I know Grienke has a 1.5 era but Jake has 3 more wins and that no hitter and I would argue more important to his team.  Any other year it would be a no brainer of course.  Rizzo is top 5 in NL on WAR as well.  What a great season, no matter what happens.  I wanted us to be competitive this year and I would have been happy, some youth development, etc, I never expected a great playoff run year.     The best part is, minus Lester, most of our guys are young and have many years to come. 

Madden and Epstein have been masterful.  I didn't understand the Lester thing but these guys knew the talent they had and knew we would be competitive and it was a great move.

Arrieta with another win, 19, and 1.99 era.   This guy has been nasty and better be up for Cy Young.

I can't wait to see Schwarber play a full season.  Bryant/Rizzo/Schwarber is going to be a nasty combo for opposing pitches for a while to come.  Castro is doing well after the bench as well and Russel is getting there.

Mad respect to the Cubbies for not taking any of the Cardinal's crap.

Pegging Holiday in the head sent the message.

Been watching the Cards dominate the Dodgers in the Playoffs by for instance breaking the Dodger's best hitter Hanley Ramirez's ribs instantly changing the Playoff series. 1st inning, 1st game series over.

Don Mattingly is a coward and the Dodgers had and have had no answer as they did last year when Puig was hit. An eye for an eye when your stars are hit, period.

 Beat the Pirates, then the Cards and we'll beat the Mets and meet you in the LCS for a trip to the World Series.

Good Luck, Joe Madden is the shiz.

The Pirates had the second best record in the league and they're done..... brutal.....

Congrats to the Cubs though, what a team.  Theo Epstein has to be one of the best executives in sports history.  As a baseball fan, Cubs/Cards is going to be an incredible series.  fug the Cardinals always, GCG

    • Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop
    • Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.  
    • Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
