5/11 Cubs are still playing (EJax vs Strasburg)

[Schwarber Fan]

Barney coming around!

At times I think I might be sexually attracted to that man.

 

You only think so?

 

I guess you're right. He has easily passed Cutler and Rose in my man crush rankings.

Just think Noah needed a mention here.

[Sammy Sofa]

What an AB.

[Schwarber Fan]

Fun game... let's take the series tomorrow!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Did Valbuena's injury look like something DL worthy? If so, may as well call up Stewart or just cut their losses.

[davell]

X-Ray was negative, he's day to day.

No love for Kane and Toews?

No care for hockey.

[Sammy Sofa]

Damn right; those hockey animals get to go live with the rats.

[ConstableRabbit]

X-rays show no fracture of pinky finger/right hand for #Cubs Luis Valbuena, injured on slide into 3rd base. Available to pinch hit Sun.

 

From the Muskat.

NHL fans have the highest average income among fans of the big 4 sports, by a good amount.

Ok?

[davell]

Yeah, not a hockey fan here either.

Rich scumbags loving their crappy sport for jerks...and?

Contradicting him saying they "live with the rats."

 

Nothing wrong with not being a hockey fan, just think it's silly to put down people that are, especially with false generalizations.

I'm pretty sure that comment had nothing to do with the average income of hockey fans.

To me it came off as him saying hockey is a trashy sport, and my point was that given the fans have the highest average income it might be hard to make that case.

 

ETA: Doesn't mean that's what he meant by it, just saying that's how I took it (probably wrong of me), and the income response was meant to counter that, nothing else. I love all 4 of the NBA, NHL, NFL, and MLB, and hockey is not my favorite of that group. Had no intention of trying to say hockey was better than any other sport, because I don't even believe that.

[SABR Gamer]

Anyway, never meant to start a hockey debate in the game thread by bringing up Kane and Toews.

 

I'd much rather concentrate on how awesome Anthony Rizzo is (which was the discussion to begin with). I share the big time mancrush.

 

Given how well he has hit this year, what are you guys expecting from him at his peak? I think it's safe to say we are well beyond the Adam LaRoche talk of last year, right?

[jersey cubs fan]

Sure looks like we are past that, thankfully

It was just a goofy exaggeration to say; also known as hyperbole. I was originally going to go say "live in the zoo," but rats seemed funnier. I had no idea hockey fans were concerned about such things.

This means Sulley is 1% and lives in SSR's neighborhood.

[davell]

As far as Rizzo goes he's looking like he may well be a "face of the franchise" type, in my mind.

It just occurred to me, the Cubs have a better record than the Dodgers right now by percentage points. And the Cubs have the same record as the Angels. Los Angeles teams are paying A LOT of money to be really bad right now.

Even before today, the Cubs had a winning record in 2nd and 3rd order win %.
