What happened to the rally monkey? They could really use that [expletive] right now.

David Eckstein retired in 2010. Not sure where he ended up.

Hopefully the same place Oscar Taveras is.

9 runs off Garrett Richards with Andrelton Simmons and Mike Trout playing defense. Remarkable.

And only 4 XBH's, 1 of them from our 5th OF who comes in for defensive purposes. LOL

Today's Cub players of the game:

 

1. Arrieta - Just dominant through 7 innings. Made it look easy.

2. Fowler - If Heyward and Zobrist had contributed more offensively, he'd have looked even better.

3. Rizzo/Montero/Szczur - Rizzo an overall good game, Montero the bomb, Szczur the bases-clearing double in his only chance. Take your pick.

 

Goats:

 

1. Escobar - He paired contributing nothing on offense to contributing less than nothing on defense.

2. The Angels pitchers, except Morin - Nothing came easy for them today. Even Richards, who looked like he had good stuff, couldn't get outs.

3. Trout/Pujols - When that's the only offense you have, you need more than...nothing.

ok i hate zobrist less now... 2 hits 1 tootblan

 

I'm still a bit rusty for the 2016 season, but why in the world would you hate Zobrist? I'm sure this has been talked about, but I missed it. I respect your right to hate but am confused why it would be directed at him.

I use to like to play MLB video games as the Cubs because it let me win games and do ridiculous things when the real teams weren't that good, now that we have this team that urge to play video games has gone down significantly because watching them is like playing a video game.

yeah, the giants and dodgers embarrassed the brewers and padres. we embarrassed a decent team with a legit ace on the mound and the best player in baseball (maybe ever when it's all said and done but that's not htat relevant).

I'm not convinced the Angels are a decent team. They have Trout and Richards and....

 

...I mean, it could be argued that any one of the Cubs starting lineup would be the 2nd best hitter on the Angels.

it could be argued that any one of the cubs starting lineup would be the 2nd best hitter on the cardinals (and like 4 of them would be the best)

 

just saying

 

anyway by decent i was just saying they're not awful like the brewers.

Damn could have sworn Rizzo opened with the club in 2012. Was that the LaHair era?

 

Jeff Baker "era"
