10/13 Cardinals (Lackey) @ CUBS (HAMMEL), TBS, 3:37 CT

Background on Molly Knight?

I know she wrote a book about the Dodgers recently, I don't know what else she does (i.e. if she has or writes on a blog/website, covers a team, does a podcast, or whatever).

Interesting fangraphs article about TBS's small strike zone. I guess their conclusion is that TBS uses a 'rulebook' strike zone for their graphic whereas the other networks use a strike zone that reflects the average called strike zone which is in reality is larger than the rulebook states it should be and is growing.

All right, I've worked enough for today. Time to leave to go watch ... dongs.

[Ski]

[expletive] I hate it when sports makes me this jittery. Score 8 in the first inning and ease my nerves, Cubs. And PLEASE let good Hammel show up.

WSI basically treats major cubs success like a sign of the apocalypse. they think if this continues they are going to be launched into permanent irrelevance and the team might even move.

I am in utter shock. TBS IS TALKING ABOUT THE CUBS CARDS GAME on the pregame!

I've worn my Santo jersey for every playoff game, including under work clothes.

Holy [expletive], they HAVE been irrelevant for like 50 years, and we've tried too run 'em out of town twice !!!

did I mention I got nothing done today and now it is too late and I am just going to sit here doing nothing?

This start time sucks.

i'm pumped to listen to the game on the radio to distract me from work, personally

[Guest]

i'm so tired. after the game i met up with a friend who is in town and went to a few bars...didn't drink too much but still didn't get home til pretty late. drove her to the airport at 6 am on my way to work, which [expletive] sucked. 90 is a nightmare. then i sat at my desk just reading cubs stuff. i left early. i am now debating between watching this at a bar or on my couch. i'm beyond tired and my wallet could use the rest but i also want people to high 5 for a [expletive] potential series clinching win against the [expletive] cardinals. WHAT DO I DO?

 

late night david cares not for daytime david.

 

why can't this be a night game?

[Outshined_One]

I sent out enough angry client letters today. Time for baseball!

I don't think any of us slept well or got any work done today.

Dusty (big shock) picked the Cards to win.

I'd be fine* if some [expletive] hadn't scheduled an hour meeting at 3 PT.

 

* Accomplished no work but listened/streamed.

[Outshined_One]

Pedro has been the sole bright spot in TBS' coverage this year. Bless you, Payro.

[Brian]

I wonder if Woody pumps it in at 95?

[Ski]

For a college kid's perspective, I couldn't focus worth [expletive] in my Multivariate Analysis class. I spent the whole time browsing the game thread and trying not to lose myself in a bundle of nervous anxiety.

[Bull]

This start time sucks.

if by "sucks", you mean, "is awesome", then yes.

[Guest]

is there even any way i get a seat at a bar at this point?

 

the fact that i'm alone helps at least but yeah. i was thinking about heading out toward the middle if it's going well but then i miss stuff and will probably have no chance of finding a seat.
