  1. The vaunted Cardinals offense has now scored 5 runs in their last four games against the Cubs. And four of them came in one game.
  2. Another murder in Chicago. Soler killed a baseball.
  3. All better now? Sorry, I wasn't very clear. When Ross threw out Diaz trying to steal, I was saying to Diaz to grab some pine. Diaz has a face only a mother could love. One more reason Addi is superior. Gameday bites me in the horsefeathers. My bad.
  4. He knew he was national TV and Hendricks had overshadowed him for the night and he would have none of that This
  5. Obviously he started his evening at Shannon's before the game. As usual.
  6. Fantastic performance by Hendricks tonight. Another poster suggested he gets the ball in game 1. He'll definitely get it in game 2. I'm a union supporter, but Joe West has got to go. Tonight, he cemented himself as the biggest horses a** to ever umpire a major league game. I can't believe I agree with Hawk Harrelson.
  7. I went to the game with my brother tonight. As he dropped me off, he said, "Let us never speak of this game again."
  8. My son and I were rather surprised CSN used this clip in the highlights immediately following the game. Doesn't take much of a lip reader to understand what Ross yelled out.
  9. I wasn't trying to be an ass. If people want to be ticked off about having Aroldis Chapman on the roster, that's fine by me. Some of the facts in this incident are irrefutable. Others are sketchy at best. My take: I'm not about to let bygones be bygones. I'm going judge Chapman by the way he conducts himself from here on out based on what happens next. How he conducts himself. Not on the field, but off. The leash will be very short. VERY short. And I'll be damned if I'm going to feel bad about it because someone else told me so.
  10. Thank you for telling me what to think. I wasn't sure before, but now I know. Please post your thoughts on EVERYTHING so I'll know how to think in the future.
  11. I'm not ashamed to admit I drooled when I read the stat lines Chapman has posted against NL opponents. It's at the bottom of the article. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-cubs-aroldis-chapman-20160725-story.html
  12. It would be even cooler if the Cubs win 9-0 and Chapman just gets to hang out and make small talk. That would be kind of cool if he popped into the dugout late in a blowout Cubs victory and got all huggy with his new teammates. While Clayton Richard was getting his bus ticket out of town.
  13. Yep, except Nightengale says its 4-1. Heyman's tweet says 4-1 and the SB Nation article citing Heyman says 3-1. ETA: Heyman said 4, SB Nation said 3-1 I wonder if there would have been a fourth player involved had Chapman signed an extension. Cubs might have told Yankees no extension = no fourth player. Maybe a fourth player is involved if the Cubs sign Chapman to an extension before he hits free agency?
  14. So has Clayton Richard thrown his last pitch as a Cub?
  15. Seemed like the Pirates were trying to ice him a little bit. Obviously, the pitcher had no book on him to speak of, so the mound visit made sense. But then after the mound visit was two throws to first base, which would have had my anxiety level in anticipation of that first pitch even more nerve wracking. It might have been a better idea of throwing one outside of the strike zone on that first pitch, because after that long wait, Willson was clearly ready to swing the bat. And that he did. I loved Joe all but getting someone to chain Baez to 1B. Even the worst lip-reader in the world could see Maddon telling Baez, "Stay there. Don't run." F the closer and screw signals.
  16. Glad the Warriors lost the NBC finals. There's a lesson to be learned. Maddon will use it.
  17. http://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/carpenter-entrenched-at-leadoff-for-cardinals/article_fd6056b4-f052-51aa-8b87-672ca70e05ce.html They haven't won a game since this idiot went and shot his mouth off. Wish I could be at one of the games this week to remind him that he is stupid and plays for a bad team. They need constant reminders.
  18. Just heard this news, too. Maddon is going to have an interesting juggling act to do.
  19. Love it! The stats just keep on on getting more rediculoser.
  20. I, sir, nominate you for the single best post ever.
