So that means that Epstein wasn't aware that he was going to rebuild how?

As long as he goes somewhere that they don't wear white uniform shorts, I'm good with that.
The last thing I would want to see is a "stable-minded" male that looks like he sat in a bowl of pizza sauce with a chewed up brownie stuck to it, all show-cased in white shorts..

Who gives a **** what he thought??
He was about to get run out of town in Boston and probably couldn't believe his luck to have another team throw him almost $20M.
For that much money he'd probably be happy dressed in a Bear suit handing out pamphlets.
I am sure Ricketts told him that he'd be the face of the great PR campaign to fool idiots into buying into the biggest con perpetrated onto sports fans. The 'great rebuilding' pile of dung.
Here is a quote from a local sports talk host and the only sports radio talk host I've ever heard who is actually worth listening to...

With the recent Cubs 3 game surge, they have now bounced out of the 4th position to the 5th position in the 2014 Draft. Slow down Cubbies, you are making it harder on management to stock the farm with talent, therefore, it will take longer to put a winning product on the field.

LOL!!!
Great point.
Winning streaks like this will totally **** up the plan.
Because all the experts around here have stated that it is impossible to build the farm system playing near .500 ball and that a .500 team is worse than having a 100 loss team.
Whoops.

My favorite teams
I know if I start a Marmol thread, it will end up here, so I'll just ask this.
How does having Carlos Marmol close games get the Cubs closer to a World Series?
I thought the goal was to win the World Series?
If they want to rebuild, fine, but don't piss on my leg and call it rain.

If they had the balls to ship off Zambrano and eat his salary, why don't they just cut ties with Marmol? Hell, maybe their is another team out there that is stupid enough to take the chance with Carlos.
Of course, Sveum should be shot for even considering putting him in the game. He had Putnam warming up, and he never even took a chance with him. Gotta ask, who is more in the future, Marmol or Putnam?
World Series? They are so far from a WS, it's sickening.

Sergio Romo scores negative 9 points in loss for SilenceS
SilenceS were projected to have the most points this week, but fell well short. SilenceS couldn't get close, losing 217 to 293 to Epstein Sucks. The 217 points that SilenceS scored were the fewest they scored this year.
The loss drops SilenceS's record to 7 - 4, while the win brings Epstein Sucks to 6 - 5.
Epstein Sucks had all (well, most) hands on deck in this win, with eleven players beating the league average. Jason Kipnis was the first among equals, posting 31 points. That was the most that any second baseman collected this week. Epstein Sucks also got the highest score out of any catcher this week courtesy of Buster Posey, who scored 27 points.
Meanwhile, Sergio Romo was the main culprit in SilenceS's loss, managing -8.5 points. That was the fewest of any relief pitcher this week.
SilenceS also had to deal with a bad performance from Anibal Sanchez, who scored only 1.5 points. Sanchez started one game this week, if you can call getting yanked after only 3 and 2/3 innings a start.
Coach B. can rest a bit after this big victory since the next two games are against sub .500 teams, starting with Cherokees next week. Meanwhile, SilenceS will collide with Cubs Koolaid.

Read an article on Z. He is topping out at 88 MPH and Z cited that it is because he has over 2000 innings on his arm. He has a loop hole in his contract with Phi. July 2nd he can opt out. The fact he is not a control pitcher I can't see how he will be effective with fastballs in the high 80's. might be the end of the road.

Boy Anthony Rizzo looks terrible:
Top 10 in OPS for 1B in MLB
Top 10 in HR for 1B in MLB
11th in RBI for 1B in MLB
3rd in Doubles for 1B in MLB
3rd in SB for 1B in MLB
6th in R for 1B in MLB
Boy, the slubs in the F.O. sure do look like a bunch of doodoo heads signing this guy to a team friendly extension.
Now imagine what he would look like with an average to above average team around him.
