       Other than Russell and Gregg, the Cubs have no relievers in the
       top 67 in the NL by WAR.  This suggests that the rest of the
       Cubs pen rates as roughly equivalent to the worst relievers in
       pens of opposing NL teams.

       WAR for relievers is a horrible stat.

       HRod II is now on the 25 man roster.  Raley goes back to Iowa.

       So the Cubs have an 8 man bullpen (that includes Shawn Camp and
       Carlos Marmol) and 4 man bench now?  Ugh, that's awful.

       I'll be there for the series.
       Doesn't anyone in the media remember there was a turn-of-the
       century not that many years ago?

       The Cubs haven't embraced the old uni trend like most other
       clubs.  The vast majority of their turn back the clock games has
       been as visitors.
       The White Sox doing it every Sunday has worn off the novelty,
       but if the Cubs did it once or twice a year at home, it could
       put more butts in the seats.

       together in the Oakland Raiders' clubhouse.

       Rizzo's OPS in the last 30 games is something like .575 -- the
       good news is that his OPS in that span is more than 100 points
       higher than Castro's.
