cubs are bad they will lose the game

 

potential game highlights include rizzo maybe getting a hit again and also if you make nachos during the game

Over/under for total runs from both teams in this series: 8?

[Guest]

I'll be there Saturday and Sunday! Hopefully they'll score in at least one of those games.

I'll get nachos at Petco. And more importantly, some quality beer.

I made some sick guac today, but now I'm sick and it feels like maybe I have MERS so kind of a wash.

If you hate the Cubs so much, then why do you bother watching the team?

I clearly have never been to a badass ballpark because I've never seen a beer list like that.

They will. You have 50% chance of one of your games being the game the Cubs score 9+ runs to keep their pythag playoff dreams alive.

Darwin Barney has a higher K rate in May than Junior Lake

You could have a repeat of my only trip to Petco. Score 6 runs in the first and lose 8-6.

If the bastards at the pizza place don't have cheese sauce, I suggest shorting them $50 to send a message.

Fortunately because Darwin is so tiny there's room to launch both out of the cannon at the same time, so Ricketts can keep his cannon costs down.

[sneakypower]

another fun stat

 

Junior Lake has a higher WAR in the past calendar year (387 PA) than Rizzo (702)

[Sammy Sofa]

That's not fun at all.

[sneakypower]

yeah, Cubs fans really are the worst toward their own good players

[Sammy Sofa]

My hilarious bias against tinyface aside, Lake being more valuable than Rizzo over any kind of significant period simply isn't a good thing because it means that one of the players that they're obviously really, really, really, REALLY counting on as being one of their cornerstones really, really, REALLY underperformed to the point that hackmonster Junior Lake actually one-upped him. That's indicative of Rizzo being underwhelming at one point and the Cubs being worse off, not "yay, Junior Lake is actually a good starter!"

[sneakypower]

but he actually is a good starter, is the point here
