Brett Jackson sucks.

"Jackson watch: With Rizzo coming up on Tuesday, the next big question is when center fielder Brett Jackson will get his chance. Jackson hasn't had a particularly strong year at Triple-A Iowa, striking out a league-leading 107 times, or 30 more than his closest pursuer.

"The strikeouts are at an incredible rate, which is a little bit strange," manager Dale Sveum said.

Jackson has been swinging at pitches in the dirt, having a difficult time with pitch selection. Sveum pointed to his .832 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) along with the strikeouts in 281 at-bats."

Sounds like someone never read a scouting report on Brett Jacksonany "5-tool" Cubs minor leaguer ever.

In Brett's defense, he walks more than Pie, Patterson, etc. ever did.

"Plummer, in 1999, "contributed" 1,017 fewer yards to the Cardinals than the league average QB would have brought to the table. As far as modern seasons go, Plummer's '99 stands as the worst."

She had just put a delivery order in at D'ags for her new family. Would've been a pain in the ass to change the delivery address to the precinct.

"[In 2011], I was in Peoria and Tennessee," began Beeler, "We would go into games and look at a guy's stats and say 'He's hitting this [average], or he's hitting this [average] over the last 10 games, or this many home runs, or had this many stolen bases."

But when 2012 rolled around, Beeler and other Cubs hurlers found themselves with a lot more information to digest.

"This past year, we'd have a guy -- a video guy -- who would come and go over [the opposing team's] entire lineup, go through their last 10 games and would find their strengths, their weaknesses, where you should pitch them and in what counts, their stats, if they like steal early, etc. It was a lot more in-depth."
