I think you should post whatever you've written, could be fun.

I plan to but as of now it is super rough. I need to add some more numbers to help build my very weak case.

It's an internet forum, it's always full of weak cases

Dammit, we lose again.

I know, I know. My first draft was pretty stream of conscious style of writing. Anyways I will polish it up before opening day and it will be posted here at the very least.

How many "ifs" did you have to include to get this team into second-wild-card position?

The whole thing is looking at every player's best case, and if that happened the Cubs could be contenders. Obvouisly that won't happen, but that is the premise of what I wrote out.

It is literally impossible for this team to make it through one game without a stupid out on the bases. I know the run scored, but by the power of DeRosa is that annoying.

 

[Rice Cube]

Apparently they did it on purpose to steal a run, but giving away an out annoys me.

Perhaps you know as I've gotten conflicting opinions from others, but does Wells have to clear waivers to be optioned to Iowa?

How have I not seen this before:
Cubs 40-Man Roster | The Cub Reporter (TCR) | A Chicago Cubs Blog

But this answers that question pretty definitively.

Cubs can't score, run the bases or play defense. Thankfully, the Angels are also having trouble scoring.

 

[Rice Cube]

Ah, they fixed the scoring problem.

Last practice game today. Bryan LaHair out due to back issues so DeWitt is in.

One last hurrah before we retire this thread and set up an Opening Series thread

Starlin Castro likes to homer.

Starlin Castro likes to homer.

There is a big difference between Starlin Castro hitting around 10 homeruns and around 20 homeruns. I am hoping for the 20 homeruns.

Best outing by Travis Wood all spring, but of course he was facing mostly the Brewers' B-team and a bunch of minor league scrubs.
