  1. Even the outs are being crushed today.
  2. No matter what happens tonight, the Cubs will be closer to the PIrates than the Giants at the end of the night.
  3. No not you. Swag, brother. We got this. Reverse jinx my friend. I know what I'm doing here. Don't Sulley the thread.
  4. I'm disappointed there wasn't a single "Reds flip Byrd to Giants" headline.
  5. I want to believe that there was some next-level thinking behind it that we don't understand, but I think he just tilted and made a mistake. Honestly, I think he basically had to go all in last year as the window was really short and they were definitely the best team in baseball last year. Didn't end up working out in the end but it wasn't the wrong play at the time.
  6. 2-4 against the Cardinals, too. 4 wins against the Dodgers. 6-20 against probable NL playoff teams The only problem being that this is the last game the Mets will play against a probable NL playoff team.
  7. Yep, Starlin Castro has more career ASG appearances than Robin Ventura.
  8. The one who was suspended before anyone even knew what happened and is probably never going to play a game for them now? Sure, that one. What's there to say? "He should be suspended!" ...well, he was. "He should be kicked off the team!" ...well, he'll probably be kicked off the team when they get back home. I just heard about it briefly. Was curious what this meant to the team. Was this a bench guy or someone projected to do something? Darius Paul, a player already suspended for last year for getting into trouble. He got a second chance from Groce already, he won't do anything. Expectations were extremely low already for him at this point.
  9. The Cubs biggest asset offensively is how patient a team they are. Keep making Sale throw extra pitches each AB.
  10. 2 runs in 4 innings against a team that has actually been doing well offensively for a while isn't bad at all. I was more referring to the amount of home runs he gives up. The overall results are fine but 6 hits in 4 innings is poor. His ability to scatter the base runners he allows has been quite remarkable so far as a Cub. A fly ball pitcher against an uppercut swing team in the biggest home run park in MLB on a hot day was never going to be a recipe for a shutout. 2 in 4 innings should have been about the expectation.
  11. The one who was suspended before anyone even knew what happened and is probably never going to play a game for them now? Sure, that one. What's there to say? "He should be suspended!" ...well, he was. "He should be kicked off the team!" ...well, he'll probably be kicked off the team when they get back home.
  12. The one who was suspended before anyone even knew what happened and is probably never going to play a game for them now?
  13. I don't think the Sox will let him throw 130 pitches.
  14. I really hate that shin strike call. Calling the strike zone correctly would probably significantly increase run production across the league.
  15. "Aww, I was expecting Haren to throw a shutout today!" ...said no one.
  16. We hit 3 HR on Friday..... were they not "BS dongs" ? Aramis Fan Fan has trouble remembering anything that happened more than 5 minutes ago.
  17. Utley: .208 AVG, .273 OBP, .313 SLG, .586 OPS, .255 wOBA Castro: .242 AVG, .276 OBP, .309 SLG, .585 OPS, .254 wOBA I want really no part of Utley on this team. I'd love, say, 2011 Utley, but then I'd love 2011 Castro also.
  18. As of right now, there are only two teams in MLB with more wins than the Cubs.
  19. Shout out for the 5 2/3 scoreless innings by the pen today, including Richard, Grimm, Strop and Rondon. The only two hits they allowed were both infield dribblers.
  20. The guy who started this thread.
  21. More of a sepia tone, really.
  22. The White Sox are closer to the AL Wild Card than any team chasing in the NL.
  23. You also could have stopped after the third username, but here we are.
