So how'd Javy look to you guys on TV?

 

I didn't notice much of a leg kick on his two strike swings... forgot to look for it earlier in the count. First AB I actually saw on one of the monitors in the concourse and he seemed to swing out of his shoes, but IIRC he made pretty decent contact on a couple of balls later in the game.

It was probably mentioned, but the most obvious thing (and we had heard about it before) was that he was essentially pulling a Rizzo and standing on top of he plate.

Nationals already up 4-0 on the Cardinals. Pirates down 5-0. WIN THIS DAMN GAME. Do it for me.

Why do the Cardinals still matter? The Pirates barely do

 

Yeah, I'm a glass half empty dude so I've stopped caring about those two. I'm left panicking about the Giants and Nats, simply because I don't trust the Cubs not to let them back in.

I'm getting pretty pissed at this offense right now.

 

Yeah something about scoring 2 runs or less in 5 of our last 6 games, enroute to 6 of 7 and the one game we scored more than 2 runs we lost by 7 runs is kind of angering.

 

I thought the Cubs turned the corner in August and the young hitters were figuring stuff out, but it's starting to look like we're just streaky as [expletive]. Rizzo couldn't hit his way out of a paper bag for 5 weeks then all the sudden he's on fire for 3 weeks and now has been terrible again for 2 weeks. Bryant was anemic in July and awesome in August, etc

 

hey umfan, meet baseball. baseball, meet umfan.

This is like exhibit A of how fans of Chicago sports teams are terrified babies. You're acting like wanting to gain some ground on the Cardinals, even if ultimately it's nothing more than a symbolic victory, is some kind of cursed blasphemy that nobody should root for because their chances of actually catching them are so slim.

 

lmao between this thread and the kfc thread you are just on fire over the last several hours

I gotta believe the Cubs lead the league in SB allowed...too lazy to look it up.

 

Coming into tonight they were 2nd behind the Pirates. Pirates allowed 118, Cubs 113, next team at 93

 

Showing that this is clearly a very detrimental trait.

I'm envisioning a David and IMB buddy movie; "All the President's Men" meets "Short Circuit".

Splitting a hotel room with Levin? Makes total sense now.
