    this isn't football, it's not going to do them any good to get extra pumped up with a "nobody respects us" mentality. I actually hope that the Pirates are overly hyped for this game and ready to swing out of their shoes at the first pitch. It's funny you should mention that because Harold Reynolds and Billy Ripkin thought that's exactly the approach they should take against Jake. Watching those two talk about baseball is about the most pointless thing ever. That's not what they said. They simply were advocating attacking early before he gets up in the count and can throw whatever the hell he wants that you have no chance to hit. They're still idiots, but I don't think advocating attacking a guy like Jake early in the count is a terrible idea.

    I was thinking about going but the options to fly there and back from STL are completely horrid.

    He tweeted it out today so there's no reason not to post/discuss. I saw it anyway.

    At Wrigley, SRO is at the very back of the 200 level. Terrible place to watch a game as pretty much everything besides the actual field is blocked from the overhang. So you might see all the fielders (or might not depending on pole placement where you stand) but you won't see the OF wall or the stands or scoreboards etc. I can understand wanting to just get in the park and for an NLCS or World Series game I would totally do it...would never do it for a regular season game. Is there still SRO in the bleachers? I did that for the 2007 game against the Dbacks.

    Would you have been happier with 12:45? That's the best it was going to be with the west coast game the same day.

    I certainly won't, but that's because the booze will start flowing down my throat the minute I get home from work. I'll be numb and completely irrational by the end of the game, win or lose.

    Funny you should mention this. I have a Cubs fan coworker with season tickets at Busch that just told me he'd sell me 2 of his bleacher seats for Friday at face value if the Cubs win Wednesday. JACKPOT!!!!!

    Was just about to post the same thing. BFIB gonna BFIB.

    DiCaro asked him and he clarified he meant coaches only and Counsell is staying.

    Anybody want to drive to Pittsburgh from STL with me on Wednesday?

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....out of the frying pan and into the fire. Rizzo is a giant idiot if they do this. [tweet] [/tweet]

    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.

    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.

    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.
  17. mul21
    Do we have any idea what time the game will be on Friday in STL?
  18. mul21
    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

    So, do I bite the bullet and buy the SRO tickets for $64 at Busch Friday night and just have faith in Jake?
  20. mul21
    10 seems like a lot, even for a road games. Weird. I bet that moves much closer to 7 by game time.

    Has it really been a story before the ridiculous NL Central this year?

    I was really impressed with Wilson today. He had that one bad drop but made a bunch of nice catches, especially in crunch time.
  23. mul21
    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.

    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.
  25. mul21
    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.
