I now expect to see one of these for every one of our starting pitchers

 

haha ive already got them ready

 

 

Name change? Who did you used to be?

 

I...This can't...no.

Oh for christ's sake, what? I don't read every horsefeathering post in every horsefeathering thread on this board, so yes, DERWOOD MISSED SOMETHING. ELL OH ELL now who was he?

[Derwood]

Ok, I figured it out. totally missed the impetus for this, but whatevs, "Derwood gonna whatever", laugh away

[Brian]

Well here's what's at stake tomorrow night, the weird congrats you won a series here's a generic hat and t-shirt

I mean, it's been clear for a long while that you don't actually read the board, but you do post in every thread anyway, so Derwood gonna Derwood.

Yeah, but what's more likely? Heyward gives you a good game defensively or Soler has a good game offensively?

 

Is Heyward has a good game offensively even on the table anymore? :|

He ripped the horsefeathers out of a double... Last game

[Andy]

Yeah, but what's more likely? Heyward gives you a good game defensively or Soler has a good game offensively?

 

Exactly so it's probably best to stick with what's worked so well: supporting elite pitching with elite defense

 

Plus there's some quirks and funky angles at the park. Not as much in left but I trust Heyward much more than anyone else to navigate that right/right centerfield

It's, what, 5 months later now and I still can't freaking believe the catch he made in SF

[Banedon]

I have today off work since the kid is off school today. So it's entirely possible the Cubs will win the NLDS while I'm off work.

 

If that occurs I figure I just have to take off the rest of October...

I know Joe's got this and then some but my 2 cents:

 

Line up

 

Fowler CF

Bryant LF

Rizzo 1B

Zobrist 2B

Russell SS

Baez 3B

Montero C

Almora RF

God-Mode Jake P

 

Late inning defense: Bring in Heyward to RF, Bring in Wiilly to C, Almora to LF, Bryant to 3rd, and Baez to 2B

 

Wait, has Montero suddenly become bad at framing? He's only playing bc of defense so why take him out for a worse defender?

It's less the framing and more my dead grandmother could steal on him most of the season.

[Agony and Ivy]

Tonight we mercy flush MadBum's legend and the even year [expletive].

[USSoccer]

Hopefully Maddon doesn't overthink the LF issue. Just stick with the same lineup as Games 1&2. We'll be fine.

[CubinNY]

It wont be enough for me if the Cubs win 3-1, they need to bury Bumgarner on Monday. If there was ever a time to make a statement in a game, Monday is it.

Right. Time to make a statement gentleman. They need to ga all Peaky Blinders on a London club!

[RammyFanny]

RD game.

 

 

But no seriously how fun would it be to dong him for 11 runs and blow up his postseason ERA.

[Hunter]

Take a nap this afternoon or burn a couple of vacation hours and come in late tomorrow. Decisions, decisions.

That hasn't been much of a problem the last month or so, though. Seems pretty clear he was injured during that stretch and doesn't appear to be now.

MadBum regresses to Bum, and the Dongsmiths triumph. This ends tonight.

[Lefty]

Had a dream Saturday night that the Cubs had a big lead in this game, started to give it up, brought in Doubront, but his name was Froman.

[Sammy Sofa]

I've been calling him Crandall!

[Brian]

Despite being on the road against the perhaps the greatest postseason pitcher of this era 538 favors the Cubs to win tonight %52 to %48.

[David]

I've been calling him Crandall!

 

Why didn't somebody tell me!? OHHHHH I'VE BEEN MAKIN AN IDIOT OUTTA MYSELF!
