  1. Nothing but swing and miss or soft contact from Mervis since he has been back.
  2. Appreciate ESPN not following the ball on a pop-up in foul territory.
  3. Tyler O'Neill seems like a real meathead.
  4. He's still new-ish to the position, so that type of thing isn't entirely surprising.
  5. Nice to see the Red Sox getting strike calls out of the zone.
  6. I assume it was also a reference to Caleb Williams being #18, but I could be reading too much into it.
  7. I haven't been there in over 10 years, but I definitely remember it being lacking in several areas - The primary one being that the seats were designed for tiny people and anyone who is over 6 ft tall and/or over 200 lbs. can't possibly fit comfortably.
  8. "Sunday Night Baseball, from America's most beloved ballpark" Really, when they are playing the Cubs? I'm not saying Wrigley is more beloved than Fenway, but it's really hard to separate one from the other in that conversation.
  9. After what seemed like an eternity last year without a hit (it wasn't), PCA has raised his career batting average 200 points over the last 3 days
  10. That's why the city has to prepare now. In 5-10 years, they are going to be HUGE!
  11. Despite Alzolay having blown multiple saves and giving up a lot of home runs, I still feel much better about him closing games than Neris.
  12. The good news is Verlander threw a lot of pitches. The bad news is the Cubs haven't shown any ability to score off the bullpen.
  13. Some number greater than 2. But yes, he has looked bad so far.
  14. I realize there is never any going back, but I would take organ music over blaring walk-up music any day. It would be cool if the Cubs did "organ Fridays" or something like that with a more traditional ballgame music experience.
  15. 15-9 is great, but it sure feels like this is all smoke and mirrors and the injuries are going to catch up soon.
  16. I get it, and it is probably the right move, but bringing in a defensive replacement for the guy who possibly just saved the game defensively is a bit weird.
  17. That was my initial thought as well, but is that actually true? It is 8 home games a year plus a handful of preseason/postseason games. Compare that to 81 games on the south side. Sure, the Bears have a MUCH larger fanbase, but does that translate to a larger overall economic impact with only 1/10 the number of games?
  18. One problem I think the state has is, how do you tell the Bears yes and White Sox no? So whatever they end up doing for the Bears, multiply that times two. Which is why I think they are ultimately going to end up refusing to fund either of the projects and the Bears will still end up in Arlington Heights. Where the White Sox end up, I have no idea and don't really care.
  19. Not at all. Just a freak injury I guess. He could probably run into the wall at that speed 10 times and be completely fine 9 times out of 10.
