You should be the hitting coach.

3.80 fip and he's a jackass. i look at him and see nothing worth liking. Then who is your 4 in the playoffs? Hammel and his 4.27 FIP? Bullpen game.

Ichiro had fairly respectable line against Jason Hammel and didn't start yesterday, and has respectable line against Lackey today. With a 1-run game yesterday, he probably could have made a difference with more than 1 pinch-hit at-bat. You'd think with the wild card/playoff push this late in the season, they would put aside the potential for high attendance and focus on winning and going with the better odds.

I want to see Travis Wood start in the OF one day.

I am liking this #SecondHalfHammel

No Ichiro. It looks like they want him to get #3000 at home to boost their abysmal attendance.

joseph smith was a pitcher dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb

When was the last time the Cubs batted the catcher 2nd? I'm guessing Barrett or Soto.

yeah but an actual flavor like sour cream & onions not that ketchup horsefeathers

What it needs is a Cubs logo on that hat

Prediction: Jason Hammel is going to give Ichiro his 3000th hit. Marlins v.

I googled for a cartoon drawing of John Lackey. This was the only thing I could find

the question was 'what site am going to waste my time at now?' [As opposed to NSBB] and /r/chicubs, albeit not the best place for Cubs discussion on the internet, is relatively decent. where are you gonna go, Cubs.com fan forum? if NSB shuts down for some reason and this entire faction migrated to /r/chicubs, it'd actually be relatively okay to browse.

well, I'd probably get some actual work done for one I don't know what I'd do, but I'm pretty sure that's not it. www.reddit.com/r/chicubs

well, the Dodgers too

Joseph Smith was called a prophet Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb He started the Mormon religion Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb

i think i would like him if i just got to know him

so uhm, when do we get Sale or Quintana?

we havent had a walkoff on the road yet
