7/23 - Cubs (Choppers McTooth) @ Brewers (Davies) 6:10 CDT WGN

[Sammy Sofa]

I was angry with my friend;

I told my wrath, my wrath did end.

I was angry with my foe;

I told it not, my wrath did grow.

 

And I watered it with fears,

Night and morning with my tears.

And I sunned it with smiles

And with soft, deceitful wiles.

 

And it grew both day and night -

'til it bore an apple bright.

And my foe beheld it shine,

And he knew that it was mine.

 

And into my garden stole,

When the night had veiled his pole;

In the morning, glad I see;

My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

how do you have pancakes w/o maple syrup?

 

Structural integrity; if the hope is to eat that as a sandwich, surely it would collapse if you're trying to pick it up and it's been soaking in maple syrup. Probably best to cook it in with the pancake in this situation.

[philosophizer75]

Well if it has pancakes and you can't eat it as a sandwich if you put maple syrup on the pancakes, I'm gonna have to say it either fails the pancake test or the sandwich test.

[UMFan83]

Know nothing about this Brewers starter except that he's a righty and he has a 2.93 ERA over his last 7 starts so he's throwing well.

I think the best solution is to just get a big bowl of maple syrup for dipping prior to each bite. Problem solved!

He's dead meat. He is less than nothing.

Did you guys see that post I snuck into the fast food monstrosities thread about this pancake place in Vegas? I'm not a pancake fan at all and those look incredible.

To me, if you can't hand eat, its not likely a sammich. Syrup unsammiches this one, IMO.

Davies is right handed and doesn't have reverse splits, so Baez is super nothing.

Now this is fascinating. Obviously the substitutes for Fowler were significantly worse hitters but I'm drawn to the "scoring only 1 baserunner out of 61" stat. How unimaginably unlucky must we have been to register that few runs?

 

If that stat increases to something that is merely Bad like, 5 out 61, and not Damn Near a Complete Blackhole of Zero Runs, we probably win several more games going into the break and it doesn't even seem like that bad of a stretch.

 

 

1 out of 61 base runners. Mind boggling.
