  1. Was just about to post the same thing. BFIB gonna BFIB.
  2. DiCaro asked him and he clarified he meant coaches only and Counsell is staying.
  3. Anybody want to drive to Pittsburgh from STL with me on Wednesday?
  4. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....out of the frying pan and into the fire. Rizzo is a giant idiot if they do this. [tweet] [/tweet]
  5. I'll be surprised if they don't go 4 deep. He's probably their best bet other than Lackey at this point. Lynn and Wacha have been flat out bad for a month now.
  6. I would consider it, but Coghlan picked it up over the weekend with his bat making the decision tougher. It's a tough choice. Coghlan is better against righties..you could start Jackson and bring Coghlan in if we need a bat later or start Coghlan and bring in Jackson if we have a small lead for defense. The difference is if we started Jackson and PH Coghlan later, the Pirates would probably bring in a lefty, nullifying him and getting Jacksons D out of the game. Cole has a reverse split, too. I could see the argument to start Jackson in LF and bring in Coghlan against a reliever. I'm strongly leaning this way. I think defense/speed is more important in what should be a low scoring game. hasn't hit Cole and Jackson hasn't seen him. Throw in the splits and Coghlan is the 4th LH against a guy that's tough against them. And the Cards have no LH starters, so Coghlan will probably start every game of that series. They have Jaime Garcia, and he's actually been really good.
  7. Yeah, I'm thinking this game gets stuck in the 2nd time slot because of the late game in LA and the different networks. Which sucks, because that's about the only time slot all day that won't work for me to be able to go.
  8. Do we have any idea what time the game will be on Friday in STL?
  9. I tweeted Len about it and haven't heard anything. Here's all of them since 1989 though. http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/story/2015-08-25/cubs-montage-tribute-keeping-the-dream-alive-wgn-highlights-playoffs-1989-2003-chicago-freiheit-wgn
  10. So, do I bite the bullet and buy the SRO tickets for $64 at Busch Friday night and just have faith in Jake?
  11. 10 seems like a lot, even for a road games. Weird. I bet that moves much closer to 7 by game time.
  12. Has it really been a story before the ridiculous NL Central this year?
  13. I was really impressed with Wilson today. He had that one bad drop but made a bunch of nice catches, especially in crunch time.
  14. Well, when you have an unbalanced schedule, it does make sense. The possibility of having 3 or more pretty good teams in a division duking it out while another division has 2 good teams and 3 terrible ones allowing the top 2 to rack up a bunch of wins while the other division plays a tougher schedule makes the way it's set up just fine. Remember, what the Cards, Pirates and Cubs did this year has never, ever been done before.
  15. I'm not sure I could handle a decisive game against the Cardinals. Winning would be so glorious but a loss just might kill me, on top of having to deal with all the aholes down here.
  16. Yeah, this type of thing isn't going to happen very often, and as has been brought up repeatedly, it's a vast improvement over a 97 win team not getting a chance to earn their way into a series.
  17. Holy [expletive], I love him! [tweet]https://twitter.com/Pirate_Parrot_/status/650795476497924096[/tweet] [tweet] [/tweet]
  18. Does the C have to make all the line calls (I assume Grasu wouldn't be ready to do that)? If not, I'd probably rather see Slauson back at LG and Grasu at C just to have a little continuity with guys at familiar positions.
  19. Stupid MLB.tv cut the feed off before I could see it. Someone get it to YouTube, stat. Yep, and the showed the effing Pirates one. BS.
  20. Um, as Sofa said, I don't think you should break up the 8 game streak OMC is on, especially since he's up 3rd anyway.
  21. Man, 97 wins gets a one game playoff on the road. Just crazy how good this division has been. I don't think there's a guy in the majors I'd rather have on the mound Wednesday than Arrietta. Go get 'em boys. I want to go to a playoff game a Busch on Friday night.
  22. McCutchen just had the dubble bubble bucket on his head. I hope he just jinxed them by copying Johnny B.
  23. Can somebody ban this turd already?
  24. Holy [expletive] that barely snuck in.
  25. This has been a pretty terribly managed game by Fox.
