    Really sad news. I wonder if they were wearing life vests.

    Of course Maddon will be allowed to use him in the outfield. Why wouldn't he be? He's used Travis Wood in the outfield (albeit in an extra inning game) and Maddon likes having versatile players. If the money is about the same and the decisive factor is seeing some time as position player in-between starts, well, I'm okay with letting Otani get some starts in LF/RF. Obviously, some PH opportunities as well. I don't know exactly how well his bat will translate at the MLB level, but he has some amazing bat speed. The hitting is all secondary though, like an added bonus. It's the ability to dominate as a SP that makes him special. The Cubs are not going to invest multiple millions of dollars on a pitcher and let him massage his ego by playing him in the outfield on non-pitching days. He will likely be used in a handful pinch hitting duties like other pitchers who can hit. But really, no team is going to let him play a position regularly on non-pitching days.

    Cogs

    The exact opposite of Carl Edwards Jr. on the mound.

    Odds on Braun getting busted for steroids again 2:1.

    I will be in the air the entire game. If the plane has wifi I'm getting it.

    He's like two different hitters in one body. His top half wants to go middle-away and his bottom half wants to pull the ball.

    A couple of years ago my kids (then 4 and 5) played in an upward soccer league. Each team is supposed to sub regularly and move players around to other positions.They played a team that had a kid on it who was so far beyond all the other kids in terms of ability. Their coach (his dad) left him in the game the entire time and he basically just ran and scored goals. It was stupid and embarrassing for the guy and his kid. All the kids on our team basically just stopped playing. The poor little girl who was the goal keeper just stood there. I've never seen anything like it. It was like that Will Farrell movie.

    One of the greatest things about Fred was his dedication to the game threads. During those lean years there would be some game threads where nearly every post was fred updating the innings with his "useless stats". He was so dedicated and I think he kept the threads going for posterity so we would have an archive of every game. That's just the kind of person he was. Like I wrote a few pages back, he is missed and he will be missed every time I post in a game thread.

    I loved and appreciated his useless stats in game thread. They were never useless and always welcome. I'm sorry. He is missed.

    No ones gettin paid until my question gets answered and then only if I like the answer.

    Lester has been really good for a while.

    Rasmus looks like a pot dealer who hangs around at college but doesn't actually attend.
  14. CubinNY
    Especially because there are only 25 games left!
  15. CubinNY
    I'm over Heyward.
  16. CubinNY
    I need to stop going to sleep at 9. I woke up angry this morning for no reason.
  17. CubinNY
    This game is stupid.
  18. CubinNY
    Written ironically? He's dreadful and has always been dreadful. Baseball just loves old stuff.

    That was freaking awesome. Best non-Cubs moment of baseball watching for me. Mostly with the Rays and Red Sox. On the NL side I still blame Marmol for that Cardinals World Series Nelson Cruz's inability to catch a flyball 95% of OF catch probably also played a role It was the World Series that was determined by the least terrible managerial decision. LaRussa won because Washington was just a [expletive] hair more terrible in that series.

    It's only one game but Heyward looked much better at the plate last night. His body was better aligned at contact and his top hand was much looser before the pitch.

    kyle doesn't post here anymore so you dont need to suck his dick every time someone makes fun of him now lol? yeah, nevermind, sorry, kyle was completely wrong to worry about bryant's contact rate and defensive scouting reports coming up. MEA CULPA. Please, the context of most of those posts were in response to someone saying something like Bryant is going to be awesome when he gets to the bigs. His doom boner was strong with Bryant.
  22. CubinNY
    I want to find every hand wringing Kyle post about Bryant's K rate and defense and do a Neslon Muntz.
  23. CubinNY
    This team is maxed out on douchebags.
  24. CubinNY
    Shoulders too wide and arms too short, I have to sit. Worse yet, somehow I go back to front. It's just the way I learned, don't hate me.
  25. CubinNY
    Not saying, just saying... The Cubs haven't won since this thread was started.
