Anyone know where all our new friends that were coming out of the woodworks this morning went?

 

The same place the south siders on Facebook went

Their meth trailers?

God I hope the Blue Jays win tomorrow so we don't play in the [expletive] afternoon on Monday.

I didn't even realize a non-afternoon game was possible. Triples the intensity that I was going to root for the Texans already.

Wait, now I'm very confused. How does them winning keep us from playing in the afternoon? I assumed non-competition would bump the Cubs to primetime?

You would think so, but nope. The Cubs are either the 2nd game out of o3 or the 3rd game out of 4. The 3rd game out of 4 makes it just a slightly later start time.

 

It's because as of now, the Dodgers-Mets game is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET in New York with the Cubs scheduled at 6 p.m. ET. They'll move that up to 8 and move the Cubs to 4:30 so there's less likely to be an overlap.

Ideal Cubs lineup for this game would probably be:

 

CF Fowler 2-5, BB

LF Schwarber has not faced

3B Bryant 3-10, dong, double, triple

1B Rizzo 10-22, 2 dongs

2B Castro 10-22, 2 dongs, 2 doubles

RF Soler 2-5, dong

SS Baez 2-5, both doubles

C Montero 2-15, 4 RBIs

 

I'm sure Russell will start at SS, but he is 0-5 vs. Wacha. Coghlan is 1-8.

Who is this guy on MLB Network? First Kyle Hendricks was Kyle Kendricks, now Travis Wood is Alex Wood.

Was it me or did the guy on TBS call Austin Jackson, Edwin in the post game interview?

CSN pregame called Garcia rhp

so the BFIB twitter re-tweeted this classy individual last night

 

 

i just thought it was funny that he has now removed the cardinals from his description on his profile. btw, if it's not obvious by his twitter handle, he's got some offensive crap on his page.

I'll try not to romanticize the significance of it too much, since it was only one game. But, how great was that game from Jorge Soler? I remember how excited I was about him last year. I'm thinking of that bomb he hit in Busch last year and how easy it was to fantasize about him doing something similar in a game with more implications. At the time, it was like, yeah, be ready for a steady dose of this in the future, Redbirds. And then he pumpkin'd on us this year. But, then today, he sorta reintroduced himself, as if to say, don't forget about me, guys. It's not that the one game magically changes anything with him or anything like that. He could go back to pumpkin status tomorrow and stay that way until the end of time. It was just fun, in the sense of: Oh yeah, we have this dongsmith, as well.

Waiting for abuck to tell us how Matheny is managing circles around Maddon today.

i read through the thread and among my favorite things, especially early on, was the call for bryant to be benched. good [expletive].

Man, I really wish Soler hadn't turned out to be such a catastrophe defensively.

 

Careful not to read too much into one (limited) season's worth of extreme (good or bad) defensive numbers. I don't think that's necessarily what he is.

 

Also, I think his presence alone at least has some impact on the chances teams will take on the bases, which isn't really taken into account.

2015 is now tied for the second-most playoff wins most of us have ever seen the Cubs get.

 

You think most of us saw the 84 team? Doubt it.
