  1. Lackey was already on a very short leash last year, and I think Hendricks probably was too, we just never knew because he was really good the whole postseason. I'd bet everyone save Lester and maybe Quintana (depending how good he is the rest of the way) is going to be on a short leash this postseason.
  2. Or any of the other viable NL playoff contenders... so, the nats? Indeed, but let's hope not since they'd probably have to beat us to face them
  3. Saying 'horsefeathers pitch framing, our catchers will just outslug the hell out of yours' is the new market inefficiency
  4. Gotta fill up that trophy room somehow Just wait until it's time for fans to pose with that trophy at the Park at Wrigley
  5. I'm going to hate myself if swapping Schwarber out for Judge at the break costs me the HR Derby
  6. Yep. The same thing that makes them so good at Coors (the environment screwing with off-speed pitches) can probably be blamed for making them less good on the road (hard to get used to those swings in movement)
  7. Pat never really rips anyone, but he came damn close with Barksdale after tossing Bryant. If Bryant and Hughes are upset with you, you have failed.
  8. My only jersey is Santo. Not sure I'll get another one.
  9. LOL Price is a jag. Yeah, Dennis horsefeathering Eckersley doesn't know how hard it is to play baseball.
  10. Someone said yesterday that the White Sox have had the 'crosstown cup' since 2012, which isn't technically true, FTR. I was reminded yesterday that we won it in 2013 (I think that was the year Dioner Navarro had a huge series against them). They've won/retained it each year since, though.
  11. That was a fun damn weekend of baseball to see at Wrigley. Crowd was great both games.
  12. Ha I bought it too. I didn't see it live and I'm not sure MLB.TV did the free archived games thing yet. I always love that Aramis moment against Philly because that was like Final Boss level for that team for me - I absolutely knew he was going to come through in that spot because they'd done it so many times already, and he did.
  13. It is incredible how many of the Brewers I flat out have not heard of
  14. Grichuk is only in the majors because he gets to play 19 games a year against us
  15. I've been needing one to replace my Russell, which pretty much has to be mothballed now. I think Contreras is gonna slide right in that spot.
  16. Hard contact is a little less annoying when it can't leave the yard
  17. I'm to the point where I'd love to see us get Gray just to get Lackey off the damn roster
  18. Didn't see it posted here, but saw on Twitter that Lester was first Cubs P to have an XBH, walk and steal in the same game since Charlie Root in 1930. Pointless, but fun. Also, Lester has to hit a dong one of these times. He's had a few ABs where he's just ripped the ball.
  19. The Panthers continue their run of being the most low-key idiotic franchise in football by firing their GM, Dave Gettleman, a week before training camp. Gettleman's resume: 4 seasons, 3 division titles, a 15-1 season and Super Bowl appearance. All this apparently because Jerry Richardson's geriatric ass doesn't like that they let Josh Norman walk over a year ago.
