Jake Arrieta 2015 is the living breathing definition of "lightning in a bottle". Good luck next year.

I am not hoping he sucks by any means but this here is one of the biggest risks fans are not seeing. No doubt Arrieta has to regress toward a normal level. If I were a Cub fan not knowing if that is 2014 or Baltimore Jake would be scary.

Eh...he's been SOLID for a couple years now.

He may not be lights out, but he's gonna be very good.

He might win 15 games, sure. They're starting next season 7 wins short of 2015.

Jake will probably slipto 15 - 17 wins next year, but the Cubs are going to sign 1 or 2 big name starters who will make up for Jakes reduction in wins.

We don’t have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven’t taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much. — Ronald Reagan

Hopefully you're right but Im sure Indians fans thought the same of Corey Kluber who won 9 games this year

Not only was he VERY good in 2014, he was good at the latter part of 2013. He may not win over 20 in 2016 because wins are dependent on relief pitchers holding leads and the team scoring runs sufficient to get the win. Arrieta lost a game this season where he pitched very well, but Cole Hamels threw a no-hitter that day for the Phillies. If Arrieta throws over 200 innings and has an ERA under 2.50 he will have met my expectations. Another year with an ERA under 2, is too much to ask or expect. But with the Cubs offense, I think it's highly likely he wins another 18 or more.

what a major accomplishment for a radio station that was suppose to be out of business after the first 2-3 months. I started listening to the score from day 1 back when they were on 820 (can't remember they moved down the dial a few spots back then)?

Now the station of the Cubs, the kid has grown up!

820, 1160.....the station signing off at sundown. Man, it has been one wild fuckin crazy ride....

The irony is in the fact that they had the best lineup on the station at the very beginning and that aspect of the station has regressed, until NOW, getting the Cubs.

true. i remember the days only hours. i also remember before internet streaming radio, I use to call in and ask the producer if I can just be left on hold to listen when I was out of town. The producers never complained and I would just put the phone on speaker for an hour or two listening to north and jiggs or the heavy fuel crew passing the day at some shit meeting in some shit town

People might think of what I wrote as werid but remember this were days before the internet or just at the beginning of the internet. So other than radio/tv/magazines, there was no other outlet.

Not weird at all. I used to call into every show and call nearly every day. back then, they had so few callers they had no issue with it and were happy to be getting calls. Do you remember the Tom Shaer early bird club? If you called into the call, they sent you a card that proclaimed you a member of the early bird club. I brought mine to the Score's 10 year reunion party and showed Shaer the card and he autographed it. Now, I really didn't want him to autograph it and definitely did not ask him to, but autograph it he did.
