Well I have tempered enthusiasm about the Cubs trade for Matt Garza, he isn't Zach Greinke in ability, but he is more stable mentally, the Cubs will not have to worry about him getting bored and quiting in the middle of the season, which could always be a possibility with Greinke. The Cubs gave up some good prospects to acquire Garza, but you have to give up something to get a pitcher of his proven quality coming into the prime of his career. Hendry has had a brilliant off season, with the inventive Pena contract, getting Wood to sign for a major hometown discount, and now this trade. If the Cubs fail this season, then he still deserves to be fired, for prior transgressions. Alfanso Soriano being chief among them, only a few more years of watching him swing and miss against any decent picture he faces :-).
Living in Kansas City give me the ability to watch and follow the Chiefs closely. I cheer for them but do not get wrapped up in them, but it is good for the city in general win and are good team. Today's loss hurt, but it is not the end of the world, the team won four games last season and won the division. One more year of draft picks and free agents and the team could be a legitimate contender. They could be a much better team next year, but possibly have a worse record because of a tougher schedule. I still feel they are going to be the favorites for the division, with San Diego being another year older, Oakland the train wreck as always, and Denver cleaning up the mess their coach left for them.
