5/23 Cubs (Arrieta) @ DBacks (De La Rosa) 9:10 PM CSN

[treebird]

Fatalism engaged.

 

a bad game with an empty game thread consisting mostly of me, you, and rondon fan could go to some very, very dark places.

[Schwarber Fan]

This is the part where I point out De La Rosa has been really good his last 3 starts and we're probably not scoring off him tonight.

[treebird]

who here would be impressed if i posted a video of myself eating a box of nails

[Schwarber Fan]

Might be an easy decision to call it a night at a reasonable hour tonight.

Cogs with the unlucky bunt pop-up out.

 

This game blows already

[DiamondMind]

I dont like the direction this is going

[DiamondMind]

what if this is the box of nails game

[ScrubMD]

I can already tell this game is going to give me a jillion aneurysms, but I'm too stupid to just turn it off.

Why bunt? seriously... I don't understand... even if you execute it well, and get a single... is that really such a better position with 2 outs that you give up all chances at an extra base hit?

 

I'm really close to just doing something else tonight...

the only reason Im even watching this game is because my car is leaking oil somewhere and I had to stay at home. [insert glutton for punishment cubs fan joke]

 

so instead of drinking with friends Im drinking by myself watching this [expletive] game

yes, considering that the pitcher would no longer be leading off the next inning.

[DiamondMind]

we might as well just get straight to talking about babip

I don't buy it, you have to score runs, getting one more position through the order is not a significant enough gain to rule out more chances to score. Coghlan has been hitting the ball hard, with bad luck... the chance of an extra base hit is not out of the question.

I'm just going to shut myself in the refrigerator and eat lunchables until the oxygen runs out and the pain fades away.

why does it feel like the diamondbacks always play out of their minds against the cubs?

[Schwarber Fan]

This game is garbage. Should've had last night. Dammit.

[Schwarber Fan]

I feel like the two toughest places for the Cubs to play every season are Milwaukee and Arizona. Honorable mention to Pittsburgh.

so if he hits a double, he's in scoring position for a guy with a career .120 batting average.

you realize we could replace diamondbacks with like any team and it'd still be accurate

Mostly pizza and nachos.

[DiamondMind]
