    Ok, sure. Javy is Gretzky. I made no comparison of the tools Gretzky had with the tools that Javy has. Only Javy’s awareness of the game and what’s going on around him. Understand now?

    I absolutely love Javy, warts and all. I just can’t imagine him in another uniform and don’t want to. The parallel I draw with Javy is with Wayne Gretzky. Gretzky got a lot of credit for knowing “situational awareness.” The color commentators always said Gretzky knew where he and everyone else was on the ice. Gretzky understood the moment in time when the game could pivot on where he positioned himself and the puck. He simply understood hockey. Javy understands baseball. IMO, his “situational awareness” is phenomenal. His bunt single in the last game against the Dodgers is his latest example: Goeddel was getting slapped around pretty good by the Cubs. Young Javy would have swung at anything in the nearest area code. Instead he lays down a beautiful bunt single. Two batters later he’s coasting home on Rizzo’s double. Just plain smart baseball.

    Not the most trustworthy source. Actually, only Donald Trump would be the only person more untrustworthy, but; https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/indians-pitcher-trevor-bauer-insinuates-theres-something-fishy-going-on-with-astros-pitchers-and-mlb-rules/

    These two tweets need to be sent to every Hall of Fame voter in five years. It probably matter because a lot of them are stupid. But it can't hurt.

    The article seems more speculative than anything else. I'm having a hard time envisioning this going anywhere.

    The gif got clipped a little too soon. Her next sentences is, "First of all, how dare you?"

    Just trolling the Brewers.
  8. Cubfanintheknow
    Remember that time the Brewers scored two runs against us? Me neither! :P

    This is all the information I needed to stay away. Thank you.

    Probably sending Stanton down to work on his swing.

    With a wet outfield grass. I’m trying to think if I’ve ever seen a hit like that actually. That rolled like a ball hit on AstroTurf or something Game 5, 1984 NLCS, Tony Gwynn hit a rocket that almost killed Ryne Sandberg and rolled all the way to the wall for a triple.

    The Cubs are going to be good this year. They're just pissing us off right now. But it did make me feel better to scroll through pages 11-12 of this game thread after having a few beverages. The .gif work is OUTSTANDING! Keep up the good work.

    could've just pulled up these... http://thedirty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/braun.jpg You googled "Douche", didn't you?

    I nominate this post for “Most Disturbing GIF in a Non-Rant Thread” year-end award.

    That thing of beauty was worth money back in the day. https://blog.sfgate.com/athletics/2012/04/20/rollie-fingers-the-origin-of-the-mustache/

    Still on pace for 173-0!
  17. Cubfanintheknow
    He's fixed!
  18. Cubfanintheknow
    AWESOME! Props to Betts for totally playing along with the announcers.
  19. Cubfanintheknow
    I thought this thread was going to be about HI. Damn clickbait.
  20. Cubfanintheknow
    Let that thread die the slow, painful death it deserves.
  21. Cubfanintheknow
    We got Yu!!! Watch a ton of other free agents sign, too. This is soooooo good,!! :yahoo:

    see? [tweet] [/tweet] Theo follows the DBAFF mentality. Don’t care what the media says.

    I'll pay the fee, however much it is. I already told my wife she's probably going to have to get a second job to pay for the network. But if that's what has to be done...
  24. Cubfanintheknow
    Ryan Pace says, "no."
  25. Cubfanintheknow
    Yeah, if he wasn’t going to be a Cub, this is the next best outcome. Doesn’t make me any happier, though.
