  1. Well the immediate reason is because LaStella is going on the DL...what the hell happened? Hammy strain, per Bruce Miles. I guess that explains why Travis Wood randomly ran for him the other night.
  2. It occurs to me that this probably doesn't bode well for Soler's chances of coming back any time soon.
  3. Helps the bench, I suppose. No more Federowicz? (Please?)
  4. There was a spectacular infographic posted here not long ago about our RD versus every other team in baseball history to this point.
  5. rany's article is cool, but the interviewer in this ep asks questions like: what positions might the cubs target in the draft to upgrade their team? do you think the cubs are actually better off that schwarber got hurt since they got to upgrade their defense with soler? She also called Kyle Hendricks "Hendrick". Didn't seem like she knew much about the Cubs other than that they're awesome. The Schwarber angle is one that didn't annoy me, but it should've been phrased more like 'did the Cubs get hurt a lot less by the Schwarber injury than we thought they would' rather than implying we're actually better off without him, which is ludicrous.
  6. Yeah, I'm in this camp. The Rossy ride has been a blast, but there's no way he's doing this again if he came back next year. It seems like Contreras starting and Montero as the backup is the most likely thing for next year.
  7. 3 runs or more, actually. 3 times by 5 runs or more.
  8. I'm probably as negative as any not-totally-crazy person here, and that STL game definitely pissed me off at the time, but I didn't actually remember how it ended until it was outlined in this thread.
  9. Stupid horsefeathers posted on this board tends to get mocked. I get it often. UMFan83, one of the longest tenured members of the whole board, is getting a little of it right now in today's game thread. It doesn't happen to new people 'more' unless new people happen to post stupid horsefeathers.
  10. I like the spirit of this post but I enjoyed the Grandpa Rossy resurgence way too much to consider that Montero break a loss in any sense.
  11. This offense has really not gone to horsefeathers at all since those 2 home runs.
  12. I wrote in Ross for my 5 votes yesterday.
  13. Montero is crazy slow and Fowler did something strangely un-sexy and GIDP'd
  14. I mean, Maddon could drop a hint by slotting him 8th in the order. He doesn't need to hit 8th, but pretty much everyone else in the lineup other than Fowler has hit all over the place, I don't know why Heyward at 2 has to be gospel.
  15. Unfortunate side effect of the Soler injury is probably more RatBoy at third to hurt our otherwise Voltronian defense.
  16. Throwback to when Rany totally called this http://grantland.com/the-triangle/chicago-cubs-rebuilding-theo-epstein-javier-baez-kris-bryant-jake-arrieta/ I could read Rany slobbering on the Cubs every day forever.
  17. I kind of thought so too. That's not the first time I've seen something like that - it almost seems like managers have a gentleman's agreement not to challenge those.
  18. That Lester ball pretty much is a hit unless it deflects exactly how it did and it probably cost us another run. This game is dumb so far.
  19. So that stupid interference call cost us a run
