We Can Plant A House, We Can Build A Tree – Cubs Offseason Wishlist: Jon Gray

Sam Fels November 14, 2019 0

We’ve been through a few pitchers the Cubs could just sign, some good some bad. We started this whole thing off with a trade target, and that was Thor, which will never happen. So let’s cycle back to another trade target, something of a baby Thor. And that’s Jon Gray. Gray is

We Can Plant A House, We Can Build A Tree – Cubs Offseason Wishlist: Brock Holt

Sam Fels November 13, 2019 0

Full disclosure, a signing of Brock Holt would allow me to open up the box marked “Mike Olt/Steve Holdt Jokes” that I never really got to use much when Olt prove to be an oaf. So I’m biased. Still, while it would hardly be the sexiest signing the Cubs could make, it would have some […]

We Can Plant A House, We Can Build A Tree – Cubs Offseason Wishlist: Kyle Gibson

Sam Fels November 12, 2019 0

Took me a week and a half, but I’m finally getting around to the pitcher that MLB Trade Rumors has the Cubs picking up. And that’s Minnesota starter Kyle Gibson. It wouldn’t be the sexiest name, and it might not even get your pulse going above normal at all. Does it make any sense? Let’s […]

We Can Plant House, We Can Build A Tree – Cubs Offseason Wishlist: Jake Odorizzi

Sam Fels November 11, 2019 0

It’s funny, because this is the name that the Sox fans in my life keep saying, “This is what we’re going to end up with instead of Cole or Strasburg.” Jake Odorizzi is seen very much as a consolation prize, or even worse by some. And he’s certainly not going to replace anyone at the […]

We Can Plant A House, We Can Build A Tree – Cubs Offseason Wishlist: Drew Pomeranz

Sam Fels November 8, 2019 0

Quite simply, this was the reliever the Cubs should have gotten at the deadline instead of dead-ass and dude-on-the-couch lookin’ motherfucker Derek Holland. The Brewers did, and watched Pomeranz become a monster out of the pen. Which is what the Cubs need. How much of a difference would Pomeranz have made? Probably not enough, but […]

Stop Acquiescing To These Capitalist Pigs

Sam Fels November 7, 2019 0

I’m gonna take a break from the Cubs offseason wishlist to address something I’ve seen far too much of the last week. Every day I open Twitter or Facebook, which I recognize is the start of the problem right there but it’s pretty much unavoidable given what I do, and I see someone–and frequently people […]

We Can Plant A House, Or We Can Build A Tree – No, Screw You AJ, We’ll Take Zack Wheeler

Sam Fels November 6, 2019 0

Earlier today, our comrade and Sox correspondent AJ wrote up why and how the Pale Hose should be interested in Zack Wheeler to boost the Sox rotation that needs it. But here’s the thing: no one cares about the White Sox, and really everyone’s energy should be put into putting the Cubs back among the […]

We Could Plant A House, We Could Build A Tree – Cubs Offseason Wishlist: Hyun-Jin Ryu

Sam Fels November 5, 2019 0

We know that the Cubs need an upgrade in the rotation. We know that they know this. We also know that they’re probably just going to fill it by promoting Tyler Chatwood to it while claiming poor as Tom Ricketts lights another cigar with a $100 before having a money fight with his brother. Or […]

We Could Plant A House, We Could Build A Tree – Cubs Offseason Wishlist: Go**amn Thor

Sam Fels November 4, 2019 0

Hello there. Over the next couple weeks, I’ll be cycling through some realistic, and not so realistic offseason targets for the Cubs, either via trade or free agency. Today, we start with the not s0 realistic.  Now that the World Series is over, and as I’ve said already, I’m going to wake up every morning […]
