    Slap an "LI" on there and you've got a sad, sad stew going, baby.

    Holy horsefeathers; I still thought the Cubs had only scored 4. I genuinely thought this was tied up.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Jesus Christ; stop being so weird about this.

    Whoopsy-doodle.

    To be somewhat fair to Carl, Gameday has him getting flat out robbed of striking out Frazier.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    "Very funny."
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Who sucks more, this ump or Carl?

    It's funny how on GRB they're bemoaning having to come to Wrigley and playing the Cubs because the Cubs have so much on the line....meanwhile a bunch of us here are worrying about playing a desperate Cardinals team for the final series. ALL FEAR, ALL THE TIME.

    Bryant and Rizzo are fine if there were other dudes playing the roles of Normal Bryant and Rizzo on the team. Rizzo's got, like, a .780 OPS and Bryant's is around .750, which, again, great if there was someone other than Baez hitting for ANY power, and if there wasn't a drunken shitbird farting out different awful lineups each night. As per usual with the 2018 Cubs, getting killed by no power.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Which Cubs DON'T have horsefeathers stat lines in September? Baez...Zobrist...and that's probably it.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    60 fewer dongs this year than last
  18. Sammy Sofa
  19. Sammy Sofa
    It's simplistic, but I keep coming back to how all of this anxiety is erased if they had just hit more dongs. Yeah, that sounds like "no horsefeathers, Sherlock"-common sense, but it's not even THAT many more dongs, especially given that it's a team that, on paper, should have been clobbering them. They are, STILL, linger at horsefeathering 22nd in dongs in all of baseball. If they had hit, say, 25 more, certainly not unreasonable given the roster, they'd still just be tied for 13th....but then you think back to how they've had SO many games where they've been shutout or only scored 1 run, and it's easy to suddenly see them with 3-5 more wins than they do right now. Their team BA and OBP is still in the top 3...if they had just managed a slugging % better than 14th, they would have easily run away with it. I think it really is as basic as, "they don't hit enough home runs." It's so weird. Or maybe not; maybe most of that is being without Bryant as a power hitter (or at all)....though I gotta think Russell and Contreras seriously helped kill that, too.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    And trading Baez was hugely influenced by me being into the nonsense about Russell going to be awesome because he was still so young. What a dope I was.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    The hell I don't. (Well, OK; you got me with Contreras. Baez I would have traded in a heartbeat for Yelich. Though I would have also traded Baez for Verlander, too, so there's that)
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Records to tie Cubs / Brewers / Cardinals 4-1 / 4-0 3-2 / 3-1 2-3 / 2-2 1-4 / 1-3 0-5 / 0-4 / 4-0 Well, I don't miss them anymore.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    that wouldn't be crushing enough, they'll win just enough games to not win the division anyway, in real talk, if they win tonight and the pirates lose, we're like, totally ok.
