9/12 Cubs (Wood) @ Phillies (Eickhoff) 6:05 PM CST, CSN

Baez, if you dong here, I will actually buy a Baez jersey.

 

Would that have been an authentic one or just a shirt one?

 

Authentic; I haven't gotten one in years. Prior was the last name I got on one.

 

In 2008 I got the smart idea that every time I went to Wrigley I'd buy an authentic jersey across the street. I now have a closet of guys like Fukudome and Marmol.

 

The worst part is I don't wear jerseys anymore.

 

No shame in a Marmol jersey; he genuinely kicked ass long enough to merit one.

 

I only wear them around the house or at a game.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

La Stella is pretty bad, I'll never get that trade

 

Well, we had no middle infield depth. I mean, Jonathan Herrera was able to survive the whole season without being cut. And LaStella showed that he was a decent on-base guy in Atlanta. And Vizcaino is a relief pitcher that has been hurt for, like, 8 consecutive seasons. And, he's sorta just meh.

Vizcaino has been really good this year closing games for Atlanta. He would be a lot better than a Rodney or Soriano have been.

 

He's not been "really good." His xFIP is 3.96. And he was bad last year and he hadn't been fully healthy in years.

 

He is better than Soriano, and we probably misjudged how good our young bullpen depth was before the season. But, even if we lose the trade, we aren't going to lose it too bad. He's a relief pitcher.

[Outshined_One]

Wow Francoeur. Wow.

[Fred Hornkohl]

[PrimeTime]

watch this piece of [expletive] now get a hit

[Fred Hornkohl]

That is the CUBS first error in their last 6 games.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Ski]

Ugh. Come on, Rizzo.

[kujay]

Figures

[Aaron_Kennelly]

For [expletive]'s sake.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Oh, horsefeathers.

[ARCubsFan]

And that's why you needed to take advantage earlier.

[squally1313]

And that's why you needed to take advantage earlier.

 

There is no doubt we win this game.

[Ski]

Of [expletive] course.

[Outshined_One]

Welp.

[UMFan83]

Dammit

[Ski]

Maybe if we could score more than one run off someone who only throws curveballs?

[Sammy Sofa]

And that's why you needed to take advantage earlier.

 

Whoa, the best way to avoid the opponent tying or taking the lead is to score more runs than them? MY MIND IS BLOWN.

[Sammy Sofa]

They're not going to lose this game, you dumb naked apes.

[Outshined_One]

Get this [expletive] out.

[Ski]

And that's why you needed to take advantage earlier.

 

Whoa, the best way to avoid the opponent tying or taking the lead is to score more runs than them? MY MIND IS BLOWN.

I feel like your favorite baseball team not performing perfectly at everything all the time is one of those natural annoyances everyone will always complain about regardless of how silly it is.

[PrimeTime]

omg get the [expletive] out of this inning already
