he looked pretty depressed. so much that I couldnt even make a joke really. I feel bad. it's frustrating we apparently dont have the coaches to be able to help him.

 

He has his millions of dollars. I HAVE NOTHING! Other people feeling pain is the most approximate feeling i know to happiness.

And this is why capitalism still exists as an economic system

[expletive] DJ Lamahieu. I don't want a guy that makes such a big deal out of being traded on my team anyway.

 

Wait, was that for real? I thought it was a bad joke. He was in AA when we traded him like 4 years ago. If he's really still hung up over it, that's just weird.

 

No that was for real. It is all the announcers talk about during the game. They interviewed LeMahieu postgame and they mentioned that he was a championship level player. They then asked him how or why he was. And he said because I'm playing the Cubs.

Err pretty sure he spent some time on the Cubs before he was dealt

He's been pretty bad since he's been back. Velocity is down.

I don't mind trading DJ LeMahieu but dear god did Ian Stewart suck [expletive] on the cubs

The resident Butt Plugs on this site referred to it as "bad luck" for way too long.

Weird, my Excel spreadsheet of NSBB posters has you clearly in the "Butt Plug" column. I'll amend it post haste.

Turns out taking injury-prone pitchers for the Garza trade wasn't a brilliant market inefficiency after all.

 

Or maybe it was and it was just a good risk that crapped out. I just feel like taking potshots.

I guess he was. Goes to show how proficiently I've blocked out 2011.

[OleMissCub]

Stewart had an awesome 5 HR in 200+ PA's for us. Good for a 0.0 WAR.

Frazier: What's going on, man.

 

Rizzo: Nothing much. You know, just taking it all in.

 

Frazier: You should probably do that.

 

Rizzo: I will.

 

Frazier: Good. Because you're an All Star, and can't nobody take that away from you.

 

Rizzo: Thank you. That means a lot.

 

Frazier: Regardless of what happens the rest of the way.

 

Rizzo: Regardless of what happens tbe rest of the...hey, what are you getting at.

 

Frazier: Oh, nothing. Just making conversation is all. And I'm certainly not suggesting that You're totally going to go ice cold in the second half.

 

Beard guy: ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

 

Rizzo: O...k.

 

Frazier: But I'm not saying that you won't.

 

Beard Guy: ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

 

Rizzo: Well..that's not going to happen.

 

Frazier: No. Of course not. I mean there's no way that your OPS for July will barely break .600.

 

Beard guy: ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

 

Rizzo: Cut it out. I'm good.

 

Frazier: Of course you are. You're an All

Star. All I'm trying to say is that all good things come to an end.

 

Beard guy: ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

 

Rizzo: Stop saying these things. why are you saying these things? I want you to stop saying these things.

 

Frazier: Relax, buddy. I don't mean you. I mean you're entire team.

 

Beard guy: ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

 

Rizzo: Ok, enough! Kris! Kris! These guys are saying horrible things to me. That I'm not going to be good anymore and that we're going to start loosing to horrible teams and that...

I don't believe that's the case if he's replacing a player that goes to the DL

Correct.

[SouthSideRyan]

The Diamondbacks and Mets just passed us in run differential.

 

The Phillies have gained 7 games on the Red Sox since the ASB. And still sit 6 games behind them for worst record in baseball.

[Cubswin11]

Giants lose!

[Guest]

Pirates on their way to a win. They get a big clutch 2 out hit, of course.

 

Yeah, the Cubs never get those clutch 2-out hits.

 

Oh wait.

Why not CJ or Rivero? Or, do you think I'm crazy to suggest that too?

Knew that was coming. You can keep pretending our entire team has sucked with RISP by historic proportions if that makes you feel better. Honestly, that's the biggest difference between us and the Pirates.

CJ's control issues don't seem to be getting any better. As for Rivero, his numbers look decent enough, but I have to assume that there's a reason why he hasn't been called up by now.

[dfnowak]

I've seen enough of Medina and Schlitter that I'd rather try someone else
