Great home stand 7-2...good progress
Had a bad night last night so didn't have time to pull thru, but W, 25-21 back in first place. 
Bryant, Heyward, and Zobrist all with solo home runs. Strong game from Butler, that play by Javy in the 8th
:x
In my year long theme of keeping up with available arms for the future, we can add a former Cub to the list, Jeff Samardzija. He's signed for the next 3 years, AND a trade would likely mean the Giants pick up a portion of that salary, meaning we could have him locked up beyond this year (remember, we only have 2 starters locked up after this year, Lester and Hendricks) so while a rental like Yu Darvish would be great for this season, he'd be yet another arm we don't have next year. Jeff may not be a sexy add like an Archer, or Quintana, but he wouldn't cost as much in terms of dollars and prospects either. Plus we already know he pitches well with Bosio, imagine having a better defense and offense than what he was used to in 12-13-14. And if he was our #5 starter, and not our #1 or 2 like before, it's a no brainer really.
So just another name to keep an eye on.
Need Jake to keep the ball rolling tonight, need another solid performance outta him out west and start the series off right with Kershaw looming Sunday.

Heard Jesse Rogers on the radio shoot down some rumor of the Cubbies attaining Archer for Javy, Almora, and Candelario.
What's everyone's thought on this? I'm still a lil conflicted with this trade.

We need to keep Baez. I don't even know why they are mentioning him as trade bait. Dude can play multiple positions great. Has a good bat too. I know we need some help. IF we have to get rid of someone then Schwarber would be it imo. I hate to see either go, but I'd much rather keep Javy of the two.

I rather us see what's on the free agent market than give up javy and etc for pitching
Well....
Horrific trip. Cubs had won 7 of 9, then got on a plane.
Shutout Friday
Shutout Saturday
Beatdown Sunday
Complete meltdown Monday.
10 walks, and 2 HBP, and they score TWO runs in 9 innings vs the Padres.
Brutal, brutal stretch right now.
4 straight losses, back to .500 now, 25-25.
Need to win these next 2, no matter what.

Finally a W
So.....this is WAY early.....
Peter Gammons reporting/speculating that Bryce Harper would sign with us in 2018.
Keep in mind, he grew up with Bryant.
Harper
Bryant
Rizzo
In their primes.
:x
Again, WAY early, but let's see how our TV deal looks, we could have the money, depending on what he wants. If he wants $400 million, probably not. If he wants $200..... [emoji]129300[/emoji]
