    I'm still holding out hope that he is just going through a rough stretch of treatment and everyone in the Cubs organization wants to show their support while he fights though it. But it doesn't really feel that way...
  2. Irrelevant Dude
    Much worse than Harry for me, but definitely on a level comparable to Payton.
  3. Irrelevant Dude
    Just turned it on. What did I miss?
  4. Irrelevant Dude
    I guess we can look at it from a Brewers perspective to try to make ourselves feel a little better. They have to be thinking, "We're playing out of our minds and can't lose, but how can we still not catch the Cubs?"

    I will die on that hill with you. We can see them, they aren't ghosts! Everyone who has played a wiffle ball game in the backyard knows what a ghost runner is, and MLB's implementation isn't it.

    15 inning marathons were the best.

    For anyone who hasn't seen it, Sandberg posted an update this morning. I hope I'm wrong, but it has a bit of an ominous feel to it.

It’s been a challenging few months...

    I agree. The swing-off was fun for a once-in-a-decade thing at the All Star game, but it has no place in a regular season game. Then again, neither does the "ghost runner".

    I particularly enjoyed the camera panning to the sky to build suspense for balls that clearly weren't hit well and ended up falling 50 feet short of the outfield wall.
  10. Irrelevant Dude
    Ok, that was kind of awesome.
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    And another now. Striking a batter out via challenge is really anti-climactic.
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    Fairly non-eventful, but there was 1 ball changed to a strike that resulted in a strikeout. I'm still not a fan unless it's going to be used for every pitch.
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    This time it counts
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    Things are looking up for home field advantage in the World Series.
  15. Irrelevant Dude
    Baseball in a speedway... seems like an awful viewing experience for the fans.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    Yeah, I can't disagree with that. I think if you were watching it in person, it would be a very cool event, but it is really difficult to follow the path of the balls on TV with the camera bouncing all over.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    The AL and NL jerseys the players wore last night were especially terrible.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    I thought the home run derby was fine last night. It seems like they tweak the format every year, but I'm not sure what they could really do better. I'm partial to the old school, head-to-head 9 inning format, but I doubt that would work in an ASG setting.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    Quote me in 5 years when I'm proven completely wrong, but that draft blows.
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    In a way, yes, but with the Cubs' lack of offensive depth, they NEED to be able to let up a bit. The way we're going, many of these guys are gonna be running on fumes by the end of the season.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    I miss the organ at Wrigley. Now it's just music blaring over the speakers like almost every other team.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    I have no issue whatsoever dealing Alcantara and/or Ballesteros in the right deal. Caissie is the guy I think we would really regret trading away.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    I know lineup construction is everyone's favorite topic, but I would be in favor of moving the team's best hitter up from the 5 spot.
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    It sure seems like he is much more hot and cold than most, but he will get hot again soon and his numbers will end up close to where they always are.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    Down by 2 with 2 innings to go, can we please stop assuming games are lost when they are still well within reach? Chances are the Cubs will lose, but we have seen them come back several times this year.
