So has Clayton Richard thrown his last pitch as a Cub?
-
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.

Glad the Warriors lost the NBC finals. There's a lesson to be learned. Maddon will use it.

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.
-
Just heard this news, too. Maddon is going to have an interesting juggling act to do.
-
Love it! The stats just keep on on getting more rediculoser.
-
I, sir, nominate you for the single best post ever.
-
Gotta play the game the right way!
-
Happy now? :D

David Ross is awesome and deserves his own thread
Cubfanintheknow replied to Cubfanintheknow's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
At this point, the way the lineup is mashing, anything Ross brings to the table offensively is gravy. Thick, onion gravy (did I do that right?). It's not like no one else has ever caught Jon Lester. He'll adapt next year with Montero. Or Schwarber. Or Contreras. -
Couldn't imagine starting this. Couldn't imagine anyone starting this. But his awesomeness is really growing on me. Love these quotes: "It's nice to have a little fun today after panic set in after we lost two in a row," Ross said with a grin. "Now everybody can relax a little more. We won one. Back on track, on the winning streak. That's why it's so fun to be part of this group." Ross has 12 RBIs already. Last year he had nine all season. So why is he hitting so well? "Because I'm awesome," he replied. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/columnists/ct-david-ross-surge-sullivan-cubs-spt-0514-20160513-column.html He's playing very well considering where he is in his career and seems to be a great influence in the clubhouse.

All the runs. All the time. Our Cubs. Or the slogan for gas station burritos.
-
This is where I am at. I am really missing all of his SuperDongs. But the wait is much more palatable knowing he is lurking. We are already a terrifying menace. And this big, beautiful dongsmith is just chilling on ice. I've been telling people he's the big free agent acquisition the Cubs are going to get this winter. And they won't have to spend a dime. Nice!
-
Not to dwell on the negative, but with the Cubs, you can actually see their six losses easily. But it's only because they stick out on an amazing upward trend. I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!!

Is that a real stat? According to Len, Harper hasn't been credited with an AB since Friday. Amazing.
-
He has six LOB in his last two at bats alone.
-
I was thinking the same thing. Rainout coming Tuesday. He's going to get an extra day's rest.
-
I can't believe this is my team!!!!!!!!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
-
How in the hell did this team lose 6 games? How?
-
unless the pitcher is Jon Lester Well played, sir.
-
This team is flat-out unbelievable. They're like a well-oiled machine. Our Cubs are doing this!!!! Our Cubs!!!
-
What's been amazing about Baez in the field is that, after making an amazing play with the glove (or his bare hand!), his throws are right on the money. Rizzo is catching his throws to first as casually as he'd catch a come backer to the pitcher.
-
Javy is amazing. That's all.
-
Pirates announcers on MLBN are pretty much gushing over the Cubs. They're pretty much calling it like they see it. The Cubs are good.
