1-i can sure watch more than 1 inning, but otherwise I hear ya
2-Don't forget about quintana! Money not bad, but the actual cost could end up being insane!
3-k
4-they could always spend more money
5-How much money do the cubs gross each year? How about the turds/drunks? And obviously it's easier for small markets to compete on a smaller budget when the get extra drafts picks and extra int'l $. Not saying I don't blame theo, but lets not act like the ricHetts couldn't spend more....
The cubs dont' have a lot of money, apparently they have no money to spend
.50M is great until you realize that has to go towards replacing all those guys and covering the increasing pay of all the younger guys.
Stupid Cubs! Fortunately, Imon isn’t broadcasting the game on 709 tonight. Well, nothing is being shown on 707-710. The Kirkwood channel’s coming through, though.
What did these guys do this spring. Discuss their favorite color and plan their pajama road trips?
Pitching coach made the trip out to let the fireworks guy reload
Thanks for killing that comeback Carl Jr. The pitching staff F-ing sucks. 5 runs should be enough to win. 10 runs should be enough to win. The offense is going to have to put up 15 runs a game with this garbage pitching staff. WTF? Might as well bring up the entire I-Cubs staff, they couldn't do any worse.
Oh yeah. I'm listening to this game and drinking pretty hard so my posts might get a little off the rails tonight.
I love this idea. The Cubs haven't had an affiliate in Peoria for 15 years, but f*** it. Send some of those guys to Peoria anyway!!!
We were at a movie, and I turned on the game for the drive home. I couldn't find the game anywhere on TV, but then I realized this appears to be a waste of time. But, hey, we'll get the right to pay an extra $7 a month to watch this premium baseball next year.
I do have to say, the Cubs radio broadcast crew is the best in the business. Pat Hughes can turn the worst game into "must listen" radio. My man Ron Santo was his running partner for years (RIP in peace Ronnie) but Ron Coomer is doing a good job.
All those years of losing, the radio broadcast is worth listening to, win or lose, it's entertaining.

Would have only been 5 if the brewers had used Hader. Now brewers can use him for 2 inngs to seal a win on Saturday or Sunday. Really did them a favor by sucking this bad in the opener.
You don't know that. Cubs may have gotten to Hader, he's not invincible. But yeah, I get what you're saying.
You want them to burn as many inngs as possible on that arm. When he's had multiple days off he tends to be extremely juiced. Rather face him when he's throwing 93-96 then 97-99.
From what I can tell, the only way Hader plays is to keep his arm fresh while he seals the deal on a 17-8 Brewer victory. This pitching staff looks historically bad.
Vince & Lou were awesome back in the day, weren’t they?
Pat & Ron/Ron were/are very enjoyable as well.
2019 Cubs pitching and fielding look eerily reminiscent of the 1919 White Sox in the World Series.
Kuechel and Kimbrel?
we've made some good deals since then. too bad, they are short term and all the long term have been beyond horrible
I was down to see him fired after the WS, so it wouldn't bother me!
HOWEVER, theo is just as much to blame for the spot we are in(if not more).
i will NOT be spending my money on the cubs network if they don't put it to use.
will they care? No, but it's all I can do
Does anyone think it's possible for bosio to get some plastic surgery and come back under a new name?
C'mon, he took 13 pts off his ERA last night. It's down to 32.40.
