Was he sick? I know he was 83 but he always seemed so healthy.

Man my dad is gonna be upset when I tell him this news. Sad to know the Cubs couldn't bring home the ring while Ernie was still on this earth.

News I see is that this was unexpected. Regardless of the cause, here's to a great man and a great ballplayer, rest in peace Mr. Cub.

I remember there was a rumor that Ernie was gonna show up for Acie's Senior Day... obviously it didn't happen for whatever reason.

Sad. An all time great and forever a Cub legend. It was always fun when they'd have him in the booth during the season.

Just watched Ernie's memorial service. What a great tribute to an incredible man.

this morning i told my 2 year old that today was Ernie Banks' birthday. he's at a stage right now where any mention of the word "birthday" gets him really excited, but his response was "that makes me sad"

Cubs are said to be 'kicking the tires' on James Shields.

b) Chavis, Mack, Murray, ...
c) Davis, Thomas, Hogg, Gilder

But honestly I'd rank them B-A-C right now mainly because I've been burned sooooo many times as a Cubs fan when I get too excited about moves they make. Although I must admit that this is the most excited I've been for baseball season in a long time. I think we can make some noise in the division.

For the record, I love Aggie hoops and am very excited about the 4 signees so I don't want it to seem like I'm dismissing them. In the end, if you made me choose a championship in one of those three sports I'd have to go with the Cubs.

I put $50 on the Cubs to win it all at 12-1 odds. Not only did Back to the Future 2 show the Cubs winning the WS in 2015 but the Chinese New Year started this week and it is the year of the goat.

Who thinks Bryant will start in the minors?

It's only for about 10 games I think.

Theo and co will look cheap if they do that though. But it means another year of Bryant.

Such a stupid move. If he's ready to go, play him. If he's worth a huge contract one year earlier that means we will be happy campers.

No reason to have him come up for what I think is 12 games? IMO they should move him around from 3B to OF at AAA while they see if Olt can contribute the first few weeks. Far too valuable to have that extra year in 2021.

We're really worried about money in 2021? Why not put your best lineup on the field on Opening Night?
Stoli7
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I agree. Bryant is better than olt, period.

Therefore he should be starting at 3rd.
I wonder if we had a dh would their be any question about him starting in AAA?

I'll be fine with whatever Theo decides. But I give it < 10% he's at 3rd on Easter night.

I just hope Bryants career ends up better than some of our other "super prospects"
