Where do you come up with these, Fred?

[Guest]

I just want to say thanks to Fred for keeping up with the game threads. I don't always post, but I always read. As always, thanks.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Where do you come up with these, Fred?

 

Took all the game logs from RetroSheet, copied/pasted into my own database that I can sort for the strangest things.

 

 

Did you know........ CUBS are 71-64 (0.526) vs. Pittsburgh on Monday at home ??

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

Disheartening to see them just check out. I remember the time they scored 10 in an inning against Morton.

Last time the CUBS scored 10 runs in an inning.... Fri 14 Aug 2009 (10 runs in the 2nd inning) in a 17-2 win over Pittsburgh at Wrigley

Am I wrong for working my way through season 4 of breaking bad instead of watching the game?

Not at all.

Either way, your brain turns to mush, no ? :wink:

[Schwarber Fan]

Valbuena grounding into a 3-6 DP on a 3-1 count is a good microcosm for the season.

[Schwarber Fan]

JC Boscan!!

[Guest]

Valbuena grounding into a 3-6 DP on a 3-1 count is a good microcosm for the season.

On the year, Valbuena on a 3-1 count has a 1.259 OPS

 

Don't ever let facts stand in your way, though.

[davell]

Rondon is really looking like a legitimate bullpen piece for next year.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUB player gets a clutch hit. Isn't that like the first sign of the apocalypse ??

[Irrelevant Dude]

Enough with these meaningless late game rallies... I'm rooting for the Pirates to catch the Cardinals and the Cubs to improve their draft position, so I have never wanted the Cubs to lose more than I do now.

It was nothing specific to him as a player, just the team in general.

 

Gregg coming in here over Strop is laughable.

[Schwarber Fan]

and now he'll K the side, in perfect Rondon Fan fashion

[Schwarber Fan]

never mind... Sveum strikes again

SSDD

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Guest]

It's a better move anyway. Sveum's just doing God's work and trying to help the Pirates win the division.

 

Swept by the Pirates, sweep the Cards, everyone goes home happy.

I guess we might as well let Gregg learn why he isn't coming back next year anyway.

And it makes Gregg look like a bigger douche for his temper tantrum last week

[Schwarber Fan]

Nevermind, THAT was the microcosm.

 

I maintain the Pirates will lose the WC game to the Reds.

shoulda, coulda, woulda
