2014 Chicago Cubs: Let's Go 2015 Cubs!

I think the whole Manny thing is Epstink doing a guy who helped build his legend a solid. As Theo himself said,

"If he shows there is still some magic in his bat, perhaps he will find his way to the Major Leagues and help another team"

I had no idea about this, but it's true. Travis Wood is younger than Jake Arrieta by about a year. So, put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I keep feeling like this is 1982 redux. There are a few guys here who aren't terrible, and there are other good guys on the way. They're still not world beaters, but they're making teams earn their wins a lot more. Let's see if later this season I see a guy I think is the Cubs' third baseman for the next 10 years. Although I doubt this time he'll wind up being a hall-of-fame second baseman.

This is the most fun I've had in a long time watching a losing team.

I'd be okay if Travis Wood took up centerfielding when he's not pitching.

I hope Carlos Zambrano saw Wood's double last night and threw a brick through his TV.

Why would that anger him and why do you want him to be angry? Why do you hate Big Z's TV?

QED

[Tonker]

This is the most Desipio-ey page ever.

I asked Fork what he meant in person last night and he said that because Zambrano struggled as a pinch hitter for the Cubs (2-for-28 lifetime in the most recent tally my arbitrary search turned up), that Wood coming through in the clutch would be sure to flame up Z's hemorrhoids. 

Time it was to post.

That's actually more sensible than I expected.

Z's probably too busy watching soccer right now to care, dreaming of one day leading la Vinotinto to World Cup qualification glory.
