I grew up a Cub fan, but learned just to.......uh never mind, don't get me started.

0-4 with 3 K's in his debut. Let's hope he's not another Tuffy Rhodes, Jeff Pico, Felix Pie, or any number of former players who Cub fans "ticketed" to the HOF before ever setting foot on the field as a Cub.

Looks like he can field.  Hitting--he will get better.  I will make a prediction right now---He will not be NL Rookie of the Year.  However, he should eventually be a solid m.270 hitter.  15-20 HR and maybe 70 RBI.  By Cubs standards he is a gem.

If those are the HR & RBI numbers he puts up he'll be considered a bust .

He will be a stud! This is just one game, he may struggle for a bit, but he will hit. This is coming from a Pirates fan.

not being a cub fan I hate to admit it but I expect him to be very good eventually...I just cant stand the media hype of all the cub players..Javy Baez, Alcantra, etc..how about we wait and call them good once they actually show it. To listen to the media its as if all of them will be allstars at their positions

Let's see how he does the second and third time around.  Landslide could turn into a sinkhole.

Boy he's been lights out this year , Cy Young ?   Thank god for their pitching so far because it looks like they left their bats in Fla.

Cole sure pitched well last night.  McCutcheon looks to be coming around - if so he'll jump start the offense.

NL Central a tough division...

Right now he is way ahead IMO .

Listening to the radio they had the Joe Maddon show on and Ron Coomer asks Maddon about playing in October and I about spit my water out  slaphead I'm enjoying watching them this year with the moves they made with getting Maddon and seeing these young kids develop but I really don't see them contending any time soon, maybe just maybe in a couple years if the kids improve and they get some decent pitching.

Nice to hear an honest assesment. They are eventually going to be really good. This year there bullpen stinks, they have to many players that don't have a defensive position., but they are improving.

This biggest disapointment baseball wise is the team on the south side. There bullpen is good, their offense sucks, and their starting pitching besides Sale Still sucks....

Thank God for the Blackhawks. Until they start up again, they are going to be the only team in Chicago with a chance to win it all. Cubs, Sox Bears all have no chance for the playoffs, and No matter who is coaching the bulls, they won't beat Lebron

How is he way ahead ?

Bryant still has more RBI's , a better batting avg and more stolen bases in 10 less games ...... Bryant has 8 homeruns right now compared to Pederson's 15 but Im willing to bet he has more by years end .

Yuup!  I say fire Don Cooper and Robin....  With all the pitching talent they are supposed to have, the pitching coach has to accept responsibility for their performance.   And, by the way, can Hawk maybe have some more surgery.  I much rather listen to Chuck Swirsky then hear stories about "my 5600 years in baseball".

Here are there numbers across...and I'm not sure Bryant will have more hrs....he's been really streaky will the hrs. Didn't hit any at the start, then hit a bunch, then hasn't hit one since.
