6/27: Cubs (roach) @ cards (wacha) 6:15 on fox

[rawaction]

OK......you guys are a bunch of sick, miserable fans. You don't like baseball as much as you like being sick and miserable. Good effing night.

 

That's why we can never have nice things.

[UMFan83]

This is the most Cardinals series ever

[weis21]

Harold see's his first defensive shift. Is AMAZED.

[illiniguy]

Too many chances blown today.

[rocket]

Better to lose early and turn it off than suffer through 8 innings waiting for the Cubs to blow it

[NotSoSober]

it's too bad the travis wood that is pitching isn't the travis wood harold reynolds described as a weapon that we can and do use in any situation

[rawaction]

Too many chances blown always.

 

Fixed.

[Sammy Sofa]

Savor the flavor, Molina.

[rocket]

more runners l.o.b. more I say

[Sammy Sofa]

1 - [expletive] Harold Reynolds

 

2 - Cubs should trade for Hamels and also a young pitcher, as a big market team might do.

 

I'd rather trade for a decent starting pitcher and a good bat.

[NotSoSober]

reynolds is insufferable

[Hairyducked Idiot]

You get me.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Harold Reynolds has never heard of the Yankees.

JMO, the cheap cost controlled pitcher is way more likely to happen in the offseason than during the season. Gonzalez, Garza, Shields...some of the recent pre-FA starters traded were all offseason moves.

 

For the deadline I want a bat, Hamels, and Chapman. Would take all three...Daniel Murphy of the Mets? I hear he's on the way out this deadline.

 

Yeah, but I want them to play for the postseason this year. There's no reason for them to not gun for a WC spot, and waiting for a starting pitcher isn't going to help that. If I had to pick I'd definitely prefer the bat, but they've got assets up the whazoo. Time to start actually using some of them for trades like they've repeatedly assured us they would do.

[Schwarber Fan]

So, we're definitely not catching the Cardinals. I guess we can just accept that but I do not want to have to go into Pittsburgh for that WC game so hopefully this team is good enough to finish ahead of the Bucs.

[illiniguy]

Boy Harold is turning into Joe Morgan

[Soul]

Sigh.

 

I'm done, gentlemen.

Part of me thinks it'd be better for the Cubs to play the WC game on the road because I worry how Wrigley fans would react when the first thing goes wrong after the failures of 2007/2008 (2003 could be included too, I guess). For me, the thing I don't want is the Pirates locking up a spot early enough so they can have Cole start the WC game.

 

But we're a long ways off, and I shouldn't be so picky if we get there.

Sometimes you just have to laugh.

[weis21]

Harold just said one of the Cardinal's strengths is that they don't clog the bases. He was referring to them manufacturing runs so I have no clue what he meant. But I'm pretty sure he has no clue either.

OK, that made me smile....but I better GTF outa' here before the insanity starts to effect me. (plus I lost my ass on this goddam game)

It's a lock the crowd would be terrified; the place was a petrified nightmare in 2008 even before the first loss. Chicago fans across all of the sports have gotten REALLY bad along those lines; what little I saw of the Stanley Cup I was baffled at how quiet the crowd was for long, long stretches. With the Cubs I guess you can kind of justify it from a really dumb meatball standpoint, but the Blackhawks are a good team in their 3rd championship series in, what, 6 years? The fans should have been going bonkers nonstop.

 

When I was at the Bears/Packers NFC Champ game a few years back it was crazy how nervous and quiet all the Bears fans were from the beginning.

 

Watching the NBA Finals I was struck by how jacked up the Golden State fans were. They're facing the best player in the world, their team hasn't been there in 40 years, and they're just losing their minds.

[Schwarber Fan]

So with Wood do we just put this off as Cardinals BS or look to replace him on the roster?

That's the second time he's said it tonight! How does this guy have his job? Enough people around him must know he's terrible.

[ARCubsFan]

People still think we're close to the Cardinals?
