What the hell was that? Can we put an end to this [expletive] tradition already?

[OleMissCub]

That poor organist having to match the varying tempo of these stupid stretch singers every night

[NotSoSober]

who sang the stretch? even the national announcers are talking about how terrible itwas

[Derwood]

It will never end because 4 meatballs in a 7 person focus group said they liked it

[Irrelevant Dude]

With the giant LCD board, it is really time to just put a video of Harry on there and be done with it.

[Cubswin11]

I know Scherzer is pitching really well but my goodness Baxter has to go

[Irrelevant Dude]

I don't care if they put Mike Baxter's career batting average up on the screen. I'm not convinced that he has ever had a hit.

[Guest]

Scherzer is rolling right now.

[NotSoSober]

i really hope this is scherzers last inning

[TruffleShuffle]

hopefully if we make the playoffs we won't have to face any good pitchers like this.

[BrockLanders]

Is this a good time to wonder why the front office seemed to have no interest in Scherzer?

[Guest]

At least with 108 pitches, this should be his last inning.

[Ram1380]

Blackhawks getting hosed at home

 

unbelievable.

NEVERRRRRRRRRR.

[DiamondMind]

this scherzer guy is pretty good

[NotSoSober]

nice outing for russell

I mean he required an additional year and $55 mil more than Lester.

[ARCubsFan]

Can't have Herrera and Baxter as first options off the bench

Dexter Fowler should sing it with the 1992 Blackhawks

Scherzer is way more likely than Lester to break down by the end of that contract.

Along with a draft pick even.

The nature of the contract made the numbers look bigger than reality. Once you factor in the huge amount of deferred payments, I think FanGraphs had it as only $10 million or so more than Lester.

Where is Lenny Harris when you need him?

I suck at math and I realize why people say this, but it always makes me feel even more like an idiot. I mean, $55 million is $55 million to me even when it's not $55 million.
