5/4 Cards (Lynn) @ Cubs (Hammel) 7:05 ESPN

[Guest]

It's still SbtB; the Friends stuff was just a diversion.

 

I had a good doom-bonery theme on deck, but now that they've won a few it doesn't seem appropriate. I'm not sure what I'm doing now, but there's a good chance it will come from 1990s Nickelodeon.

 

Pipe down you're not gonna get a chance for a while

[Sammy Sofa]

Damn right. The Zack Attack is going for at least another 16 wins.

True that.

Can someone please put a gif of Phoebe Cates coming out of the pool from Fast Times?

[Fred Hornkohl]

For anyone who might be considering a theme for a game thread, I'd like to point out that Ragtime was about the biggest thing going on in the pop culture when the CUBS last won the World Series.

 

Just a thought.

[Guest]

I'm irrationally excited about the jerseys tonight.

Why did we choose Baker over Kottaras?

[Andy]

Why did we choose Baker over Kottaras?

It's like choosing which animal's [expletive] you want to step in in the yard.

[Schwarber Fan]

The great irony is that Kalish probably deserved to play over Lake yesterday, but tonight you gotta play Lake.

 

Also, Baker has to get some credit for Hammel's success, right? Maybe not.

Yea I know it's a minor gripe but Kottaras career numbers are better than Baker every year, just curious what they saw in Baker.

no you don't

 

especially not when Lake is K'ing 43% of the time against righties

 

(he has a .440 BABIP against them which is actually making his numbers against righties better than vs. lefties)

I like Kalish's plate discipline but that's about all I like from what I've seen. I'd stick Lake in there every day at this point. Olt however needs to be sent down to AAA or something, he is totally lost.
