Heard that too. Didn’t the Astros have the best record in baseball last year?
-
The Cardinals get Tyler Chatwood. We have to give them his contract, too.
-
Neither does he.
-
This. Watching him field his position or trying to turn two was brutal.
-
Good HR celebration by the Red Sox, but it'll never match the dickbump.

Crazy that they've been playing for almost three hours and they're only in the top of the 7th. How is will these long games draw in new fans? It's so dumb that they don't start an hour earlier. Not sure why I deleted it... but rather than ask a question, I simply typed "horsefeathers the west coast".

hell yeah let's get this horsefeathers over with Damn; it just hit me that all this Bryce Harper horsefeathers is going to finally happen. I want Bryce Watch 2018 to go into warp speed mode Sunday morning.

I'm interpreting this as a quote from Alan Nero. Not Joe Maddon. Am I reading it wrong? It's a quote from Alan Nero, comparing his client, Joe Maddon, to Donald Trump, and how people think Trump should be against murdering journalists, when he obviously is not, and comparing that to people thinking Joe should be against domestic violence, when he obviously is not. It's a terrible quote about an increasingly bad person being compared to a truly awful human being excusing abhorrent behavior by scumbags. No doubt the quote is a horrible one. I guess I'm a little more willing to cut Maddon some slack in this particular instance because it's not a direct quote from him. I do agree that Maddon's handling of the whole situation is a train wreck.

Find a guy whose philosophy works with the roster. Chiliball might work for a lighter hitting team, but certainly not with the Cubs.

I’m ok with this. Gore is not going to do anything. Might as well see if Bryant can end it with a dong. It’s a long shot, but so is Gore doing anything productive with the bat. i think bryant’s hr rate on sliders low and out of the strike zone is probably like -40. it’s a nice idea, but he wasn’t being pitched to. I totally get that. But Gore is on the field for one reason only: his speed. If Bryant doesn’t hit the ball out of the park, you have Gore coming up exactly where you want him... leading off an inning. Of course, that part is contingent on threatening Gore with his life if he takes the bat off his shoulder.

Abso-effing-lutely. Of everything that happened last night, this pissed me off most. bryant's strikeout in the 12th where they were obviously pitching around him to get to terrance gore was pretty bad, too.

Interesting that your avatar has a Packers helmet. A lot of people, myself included, were not happy with Lovie Smith’s decision to roll over for the Packers the last game of the 2010 season. The Bears were already Central Division champs. The Packers were on the outside looking in and needing a little help. The Packers won and got the help they needed. I’ll end the story there. ETA: If there’s a chance, kick the cards out.

I had seen instances of Daniel Murphy being a bad second baseman. But getting to watch him every day has made me realize... he's horsefeathering awful.
-
I'm not sure that they can suspend him without pay if he hasn't been actually charged with a crime. Yeah that might be a little hard to do, putting him on the restricted list is probably the thing to do I was probably hoping that they could hurt Russell financially. I figured there wasn’t anything they could legally do. But I do think the Cubs should help him. And then cut him. I really don’t want him to be part of this organization.
-
I hope the Cubs suspend him without pay and get him some help. Kicking him to the curb only eliminates the symptom. They need to try to cure the problem.
-
7-5 is fairly realistic and should be enough. Get it done, Cubs. 12-0 get us to 100 wins, let’s do that Might as well make it 23-0. Finish this thing off right.

JAVY!!!

baseball without runs isn't funs I agree! And yet they're 5th in the NL in runs, only 21 back of the leader. They're 2nd in both wOBA and wRC+. It's like they're designed for maximum irritation while still winning enough to be successful. Put me in this category, too. I haven't like the way they've won a lot of their ballgames. And that's probably the wrong way to look at it, since a win is a win not matter how you get it. So I guess they're really gonna tick me off the way they win the game to win the World Series.

I figured one of these guys would wear their uni. But check out Rizzo's feet. He's wearing his spikes.
-
Tropical storm force winds (up to 39 mph) are expected to possibly arrive around the conclusion of the game. Does MLB really want two teams to fly out of all that after the game? Do they really want to take fans away from storm prep so they can attend? Seems legit crazy to me.
-
St. Louis is finally getting back to playing like the trash heap they were the first four months of the season. The Brewers are going to come back down to Earth soon. The Cubs have been remarkably consistent this season. We've seen short stretches of bad baseball. They'll bounce back.

Walkoff win for the Tigers! Cards beginning to fade into oblivion.

Didn’t he U Turn on Javy pretty hard, too? It’s almost as if he started watching him play a lot more when he was trying to get a Cubs job and realized how good he was. For all the people who were on board with Javy's bat and defensive skills (and I won't include myself here. I was very skeptical), I don't think there's anyone... Javy included... who knew he could change a game with his base running instincts. I think that as this season has progressed, Javy's mindset has changed from "let's try this" to "Man, I can really horsefeathers with these guy's minds. I'm going for it!" He's had a very high success rate, in part because he does know when to push it. He's gone beyond good baseball instincts; his baseball intelligence is off the charts.
