  1. I don't like when Russell does good things but it's almost worth it for the Cubs Twitter account acknowledging them only in the most rudimentary way.
  2. Mortal lock he was going yard tonight
  3. Also in unavailable players not being on the injured list and therefore playing a man short.
  4. I'll be rooting for Atlanta by default and I don't care who comes out of the AL unless it's Houston, in which case horsefeathers off.
  5. All the more reason blowing off the off-season made zero horsefeathering sense.
  6. I'm so excited for STL vs Houston in a World Series that I will watch zero pitches of
  7. Yep, that's how that was always gonna end
  8. If the Cubs don't lead MLB in 2-strike foul balls hit by the opposition (especially in big spots), I feel bad for whoever does.
  9. Jesus that was pathetic. Strasburg was begging to get mashed and we go pathetic K on a ball, pathetic pop-up, and pathetic K on a ball.
  10. Javy sucking now is a very depressing development.
  11. Great AB by Kris there. Please feast on tired Strasburg, Javy.
  12. Now we have to score at least 3. The hill just keeps getting taller
  13. It's an extremely reasonable take. The Colts screwed up the Luck era a million times. Ironically they finally got a pretty decent team around him, but by then he'd been beset by injury.
  14. Well now we have to score at least 2
  15. It was extremely enjoyable and disgustingly awful football. A perfect welcome back to CFB.
  16. I was thinking more along the lines of "this team just isn't very good". They’re better than this. Rizzo is a gold glover, for one. They also won 5 in a row very recently and were worse than that. That's how this works.
  17. I was thinking more along the lines of "this team just isn't very good".
  18. I don't know if this says more about me or the Cubs but my batting average in turning off a game knowing we aren't gonna win and then that game getting even worse is pretty damn close to 1.000 this year.
  19. And probably gave away their best chance to get one by benching Strasburg because he hypothetically might get hurt later
  20. Bryzzo have literally the most boring nicknames. I mean I get it with KB because he's vanilla and boring AF but you'd think Rizz would come up with something better. No one on our team has a cool nickname except El Mago, and really, when you have El Mago, I can understand the rest of the team not even bothering to try.
  21. Yep. If the revisionist history becomes "oh, well the Dodgers broke him" it's going to be annoying. This guy had giant, blood-red flags all over his career and Theo should've let someone else give him $20M to rehab for 2 years. It went full worst case in terms of health (possibly thanks to maddon ignoring usage orders) and he was still worth like 5.5 mil last year. It wasn't some disastrous signing. And the injury risk was baked into the modest cost. If he had no injury history, he would've cost a lot horsefeathering more. If you wanna be mad at some horsefeathers in hindsight, the Heyward deal is right there. I didn't hate the Heyward deal at the time, and neither did anyone else here as far as I know. I was skittish of the Morrow signing immediately, so this isn't about hindsight.
