  1. Rat Boy might have the 2 best swings of the night
  2. I liked the being immortal super gods thing better than this
  3. Counter point; the closer role is overrated so if Nathan miraculously comes back and isn't a dumpster fire the trickle down effect is Rondon pitching in higher leverage spots which is a good thing. The chances of Nathan being the closer of this team at any point are negative 1,000 percent no matter how well be does.
  4. I have a few, none exceptionally great. One time against Houston, in 2009, a bunch of us in the bleachers gave Carlos Lee a hard time, and at one point (after he'd hit a dong) someone yelled that he was on steroids. Lee turned around, mimed a syringe into his arm, and said "Shh." I got a kick out of it and found it harder to hate him after that. In April 2012, we went to a game against Milwaukee soon after the Ryan Braun herpes stuff made the rounds, and although we were way too far away to yell anything, one of my friends got a big "S-T-D" chant going, which I loved. I wasn't at this game, but my friends once gave Ryan Freel some crap against Cincinnati in 2004, and when he said something to the effect of "you're the Cubs, you suck", they yelled back "Look at the flags, Freel, you're in last place!"
  5. Was that the dude who was outted as a Cards troll? did that really end up being the case? i thought that was just a running joke. I think it did, or at least close enough for the mods.
  6. I seriously don't care at all. We are going to lose 2 games in a row some times. Maybe even 3 or 4. We will probably have a stretch where we win 3 of 10 games. This team has already proven they are [expletive] awesome and baseball has already proven to me that all teams slump during a season The problem is I easily start rooting for crazy things. Like last September I wanted to catch the Cardinals. This year I want to be ten games ahead in the division by June and win it in late August and win 120 games. Catching STL was totally not crazy last year. If not for the stupid way we lost one of those September games (I think it was the day before all the beanball crap happened), I think we would have.
  7. Probably, but the baseball gods took 2 of them away already, so we'll need 6
  8. Mark your calendars and such. This is gonna be a fun weekend. http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-releases/2016/05/espnabc-set-best-college-football-opening-weekend-schedule-ever/
  9. Gomez hits the DL so now he's definitely useless
  10. I was born 3 days after the Bill Buckner error in the World Series. Closest I've got to anything interesting.
  11. I don't doubt the FO would go dumpster diving for bullpen reinforcements - they basically did last year - but I can't see any scenario where Nathan would pan out.
  12. My damn Carlos Gomez pick (and subsequent transaction-burning due to DL stints) is going to cost me this thing
  13. It will be excellent to play a baseball game in non-dong-suppressing conditions (I assume the roof will be closed).
  14. Unfortunate timing for Rondon to be less than awesome for the first time all year. When we get back to Wrigley, there will be dongs.
  15. I don't think Rondon's FIP is going to be negative anymore
  16. Holy horsefeathers Javy. That play wasn't even close either
  17. I noticed that too, but they're never going to be able to make every West Coast trip make perfect sense.
  18. The Pirates trying to paint us as beanball artists, even though it means very little, is starting to annoy me.
  19. Outside of bad sequencing fortune, Arrieta has been just as awesome as always today
