  1. I think they let him go another inning, or at least start it. Seems like a good situation for a Shane Greene inning, if not for the fact Greene was DFA.
  2. Amaya takes the 3rd pitch he sees out for a HR...maybe they should try a 4th.
  3. Bednar strikes out Contreras to end the game, Cubs currently 2 games back of Milwaukee.
  4. Cmon, Bednar, this is the whole reason the Cubs didn't trade for you.
  5. Walker pitching around Swanson to pitch to Suzuki with 2 on, 1 out. A bold strategy...
  6. Wood lasts just 2 1/3 IP, gives up effectively solid wood contact for the entirety. On comes the reliever, Walker...
  7. Finally, this Bellinger scrub gets in on the action.
  8. Seiya with the early bases-clearing double. He is on fire.
  9. Fun fact: Patrick Wisdom (.785) has a higher OPS than any Pirate hitter.
  10. Petition to change thread title to "The Grass is a Little Greener"
  11. No, this doesn't at all sound like a predatory loan: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/38335229/florida-legislator-says-bears-dt-gervon-dexter-nil-deal-violated-law TLDR: Dexter signed an NIL deal with an investment capital company, "Big League Advance", where they agreed to pay him just under 500k in exchange for his likeness rights that year, but they included a clause later in the contract that Dexter would owe them 15% of all NFL earnings over the next 25 years in exchange.
  12. Yes, it's one particular ad that's too small to see what's happening but plays extremely loud automatically and doesn't let you silence it for about 5 seconds after it starts.
  13. Cubs pull to within 10 games of the second bye... Also 11 over .500 for the first time this year. Also have eclipsed last season's win total.
  14. I appreciate that Illinois is going for a tougher non-conference slate this season, but it definitely gives very little margin for error to start off the season slowly. Finally starting to look good right now going into the 4th.
  15. Matt Turner with his first PL clean sheet for Nottingham, as they win at Chelsea for the first time in 20 years notable also as the only clean sheet of today's PL play thus far
  16. This series has very similar vibes to me to that 5 game STL seties in 2003. I'm hoping for similar results.
  17. Cubs apparently going with Cuas to start game 2, according to MLB.com.
  18. That an indicator that Greene is starting one of the DH games tomorrow, or just a pen arm?
  19. Cubs only trail the Dodgers by 13 games for that second bye...
  20. Is he going to be particularly loud from the dugout or something? He's maybe the 5th best OF on the roster.
  21. Sandberg was hardly a throw-in for that deal. Dallas Green, the Cubs GM at that time, had recently worked for the Phillies and wouldn't take on the 36-year old Bowa unless he got Sandberg, who he wanted from the start. Granted, Sandberg was effectively an A- prospect in AA at the time, but he was the main piece of the deal from Green's perspective.
