  1. You're correct, he was viewed as a big get.
  2. LOL I said aloud "Oh, just hit a home run" right before that swing. He's the goddamn MVP
  3. He did not just do that Holy horsefeathers
  4. Brown really walked the tightrope this game. But hey, we're still in it. Let's get a few in the air and get them out of the park.
  5. I believe ESPN showed this at some point during early COVID lockdowns. Very enjoyable.
  6. Civale asked for a trade after being told he was going to the pen. There were probably a few chuckles in the Milwaukee FO when they found the Sox made the best offer. "You want a trade, buddy? Here ya go. Enjoy total irrelevance."
  7. Something's going to have to give at some point on this whole "Brown's peripherals are outstanding while his actual results are largely bad" trend
  8. Not coincidentally, that was the last time I ever panicked about a bad stretch. If that team can go 5-15, then we can deal with teams not as good as them having rough times.
  9. Frustrating game but Detroit played awesome and the Cubs played slightly less than awesome. No more Skubals this weekend so this series is still there for the taking.
  10. It's a good thing Shaw got that hit. Skubal may not allow another one
  11. That play at first with Shaw is about as close as I've ever seen. Legitimately don't know if he was safe.
  12. That was 6 feet shy of getting out, and to the opposite field to boot. I would've absolutely lost my mind if he'd gone deep.
  13. You know, I would never say those games weren't stressful because obviously they were, but I don't think I ever really thought they were going to lose. Particularly once the Cleveland outfield misplayed Russell's fly ball into a 2-run double in Game 6, I thought it was gonna happen.
  14. 2016 was the most fun and it's never going to be topped. We all thought the team was going to be awesome, and if anything they exceeded expectations. It was a beginning-to-end blast. That said, this season - so far - has been absolutely delightful, and PCA transforming into an MVP seemingly overnight has been a complete joy.
  15. So PCA has a 2 run HR to dead center that I can't believe he muscled out and he just raced into the gap to snag what probably should've been a double. Just another day
  16. It makes perfect sense for Detroit to hold Skubal to face us, they'll be favored to beat the White Sox anyway, might as well have him face a good team if they can easily make it happen. Not that I expect they considered this all that much, but in the extremely unlikely event the Cubs and Tigers end up with the same record and meet in the World Series, I believe HFA comes down to head-to-head record.
  17. That was nowhere near as easy as Shaw just made it look. Man he's good over there.
  18. TBF Russell was already kinda going down in flames as a player when it started becoming clear he was also a sociopath
  19. He's been even better than I thought but defense was never his problem, which is why a lot of us wanted him up when it became clear no other 3B option could hit either. But TBF, the adjustments they wanted him to make seem to have taken at the plate.
  20. I'd love this. I know he's got some weird boomer love for radio and that's cool, bring him back as Pat's replacement. I don't think it'll happen but I'd be all over it; I also think Len and Ron would actually play off each other pretty well.
  21. PCA pace is 44 HR, 44 SB and 145 RBI. While playing Platinum Glove defense in CF. To think when this year started we just wanted him to hit enough to keep his glove in the lineup.
  22. Shaw is hitting opposite field bullets every time up. Very encouraging.
  23. There's almost no one else in all of baseball that wouldn't have even drawn a throw home there.
