  1. I really don't see why a group of people who make hundreds of thousands of dollars to work a few hours a day for seven months a year need such a strong union. Do you not know how unions work? Umpires make all that money for that little work precisely because they have a strong union.
  2. This conversation was 2 pages back, but they basically had one. It was called the way the draft rules worked prior to 2012. Then MLB decided to tie your draft pool to your draft position, and now there's really no incentive whatsoever to not go all in on sucking if you don't think you're going to be at least .500. My posting history here shows I'm no fan of tanking, but MLB brought this on itself by making it the smart thing to do.
  3. I guess he didn't mean it when he said he was "horsefeathering done with St. Louis TV and radio and horsefeathering done with" STL back in 08. That's probably one of my favorite stories ever even if it's apocryphal.
  4. Of all the guys you want Heyward switched with, you pick the one guy you could argue was hitting worse entering the game?
  5. I just wish Heyward could get in on this. He's going to start raking at some point. He has to.
  6. I would just like to express my laughter at Matheny playing the infield in down 10 horsefeathering runs bite him.
  7. Kelly Crull is far from great, but man, that kid didn't do her any favors.
  8. Well that was a stupidly impressive play by Diaz. But woo, we're up six so as long as Hammel doesn't get lit up I don't have to care much.
  9. The guy who got us Russell and the guy who got us Rizzo. That could be fun. But not as much fun as having Russell and Rizzo through 2021 on this team. :D
  10. I would love to see the Heyward boos spark the Cubs back into Death Machine mode.
  11. Joe's bullpen management can be very confusing at times. It's generally good in the important games so it's not a big worry, but there have been head scratchers at times.
  12. I'm not sure why we didn't send Rondon out there
  13. Well, this looks like a typical STL win now. Hopefully we can flip the script.
  14. I feel like we haven't seen the consistent engine of death we resembled in early May for a while. It didn't take me long to get spoiled
  15. Or their ludicrous overperformance as a pitching staff with RISP last year. It's always some sort of insane statistical anomaly with these pricks. We're winning this game though.
  16. I've never seen someone consistently screwed by bad umpiring like Jorge Soler.
  17. There's no way the April Cubs would've let Wainwright escape with only 1 run. But I'll take what I can get.
  18. Lets hope. I would've said the same about Cain.
  19. That is a horsefeathering awful call. Baez was further inside the lane BEFORE going to his right than he was outside the lane. [expletive].
  20. Bumgarner plus awesome infield defense is unfair, SF shouldn't be allowed to have both
  21. We already lost once this weekend because the other team's pitcher got a big hit. I could've done without that.
  22. Yeah, I was worried about this right when Russell struck out. Addison didn't really do anything wrong there, but you don't get many shots at this guy.
