I really hope we get Shark extended.

[d_money]

I really hope we get Shark extended.

How many years would you go?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Meanwhile..... as the second period opens in Detroit, the BlackHawks are winning, 1-1.

 

 

Go HAWKS !!

Holy [expletive], hard to believe that was just our 4th 3B of the year.

Not necessarily our 4th triple, but the 4th game in which we've had one or more triples, eh?

 

edit: after checking, it was our 4th triple of the season.

I really hope we get Shark extended.

I fully agree. Every time I look up, he's just sick, and that movement is insane.

[CubsWin]

I haven't been following the Sox at all this year. When I saw Dunn's AVG and OBP on his stat line graphic when he came up to bat, I burst out laughing. Man, is that bad.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 16-2 (.889) when they lead at the end of the 8th inning.... 3-28 (.097) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 4-0 (1.000) when their starter pitches 8 innings or more.... 15-30 (.333) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

And I think he's been playing better the last couple of weeks.

How many years would you go?

I'd really try to get it done on a four year deal. But it will probably take five.

[CubsWin]

I really hope we get Shark extended.

How many years would you go?

I'd go 5 easy, with a team option for a 6th at a high salary.

 

He turns 29 next January but only has 416 major league innings to go along with 485 minor league frames. Contrast that with EJax who is 29 now and coming into this season had 1,268 major league innings and 556 in the minors.

 

Plus, Samardzija is very athletic and keeps himself in excellent shape. 5 years on any pitcher is a gamble, but he seems like a good bet.

[Guest]

I think Hawk is whimpering.

[Guest]

The silence on the WGN telecast is wonderful.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Not really interested in extending a pitcher with two years of control left.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS allowed 8 runs in an inning.... Mon 27 Aug 2012 (9 runs in the 9th inning) in a 15-4 loss to Milwaukee at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

Shark's ERA for the year with 1 out in the 9th is 2.88

[Bull]

Gameday showed shark getting squeezed like crazy in that at-bat resulting in a walk. True?
