    Game thread will be up tomorrow morning.

    I read a stat the other day that the Cubs have set the ML record for the most stops at the .500 mark though the first 20 games of the season. So, yay on our historic mediocrity, I guess. It could be worse, I suppose. At least we didn't start off like we did in 1997.

    Looks like the Hawks are on quite the hot streak right now. Best of luck to them.

    Ok, I think I officially don't like the Dodgers now. Jerks.

    Sounds like a wonderful relationship when your wife stabs you. love hurts I wonder if they'll take a stab at reconciliation.
  7. erik316wttn
    Holy crap, we won?!?
  8. erik316wttn
    I'm really starting to dislike the Dodgers.

    Agreed. NO reason at all Demp should have been hitting for himself last inning. He should have been lifted for a PH.
  11. erik316wttn
    Dempster really sucks this year. I hope he's not hiding an injury.
  12. erik316wttn
    I know the wind is blowing out, but Demp needs to right himself. He's starting to concern me.

    I really don't want to have to beat Lilly, he seems like a nice guy and I have nothing against him. But, when it comes down to it, let's hang an L on their bullpen.
  14. erik316wttn
    You are wrong. That option's name is Tyler Colvin
  15. erik316wttn
    This game should have been rained out. Or at least I'd have liked it.

    Leadoff walk to Carroll.

    I remember being on my couch watching, half-loopy on vicodin because of my knee surgery the day before.

    That wouldn't resonate with fans(and therefore the owners) nearly as much as having regular season champ World Series. Especially if there were a less selective Champions League-esque tournament afterwards. It gives incentive to be the very best(just like people like to reminisce about), while still keeping the interest of the other 25 teams who know before Memorial Day that their team can't reach that standard. And "relegate the worst teams to AAA" is an impossibility. AAA teams are the same franchises at a different level of play, not completely different entities that can be swapped. I know. I was joking about the relegation part. I should have used green font.

    Or, skip all that, keep things as-is with the postseason, and simply add a trophy that commemorates the regular-season champion in each league. Or you could give the Giles and Harridge Trophies to the regular season winners, rather than the LCS winners. If winning the regular season is deserving of a trophy, then give a trophy. If you expand the playoffs, you have to shorten the season to 154 games unless you want Game 7 of the WS to be on November 15th. And do away with the stupid "All-Star game determines WS home field advantage" and just let that be determined by regular season record.

    So do you want some sort of baseball BCS system and do away with the playoffs entirely? Because that would be a horrible idea.
  21. erik316wttn
    This.
  22. erik316wttn
    Still not thrilled with this lineup but really glad to see that Byrd is not nailed to the 3 spot (although I bet he'll still get a lot more starts there before all is said and done especially when Colvin in starting in right) and is also willing to be a little unconventional by putting Castro at 3. I don't know what Quade thinks about Soto. His spot in the batting order doesn't inspire confidence but Quade has stuck him out there for 17 of the first 19 games so he obviously wants him to play a lot. I'd drop Pena to 7th and move Soriano to 5th. Maybe Quade is doing one of those "play him every day, but low in the order to take the pressure off until he starts hitting" sort of deals? I have no idea, this is just a guess.

    If this game gets played, the Cubs lineup will be, per Bruce Miles's Twitter: Fukudome Barney Castro Aram Pena Byrd Soriano Soto Coleman
  24. erik316wttn
    Why are there always rainouts on my days off? Why can't I have a DH on a day off?
  25. erik316wttn
    Also like soccer the team with the worst record gets relegated to AAA the following season.
