Pat and Ron talking about Carl annoying the Nats with his scooter was easily my second favorite highlight of the night. What were they saying?? I thought I heard them say that someone from the Nats' side asked the Cubs to tell him to knock it off, but I could be wrong. All I know is is that true zen is as perfectly content as Carl looks in that picture. -
2018 HR Derby {Discussion & Transaction Thread}
Sammy Sofa replied to Southpaw19's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Damn; the Cubs' depressed dong output has infected my team. -
Counterpoint: ride him into the ground and then wish him well when he goes off to Wade Davis it up somewhere else.

Aren't the Brewers the one team Quintana is still any good against? Shatter these dicknoses' dreams.

Dammit, I'm gonna need some big ol' HQ versions of the dong/celebration pics to replace the Heyward GS as my desktop.

Thank the baseball gods for this weird looking dude.

Do you not have ESPN? Nope; dumped cable last year.

Man, I spent all day hanging pictures, which might be one of my least favorite things to do, and by the time the bottom of the 9th came up I was finishing up the last two, listening to the game because of the dumb blackout rules, and I don't think my back and shoulders could have been hurting more. Pat's call made all of that go away in an instant. Keep the damn Bote in the water.

I think there's a pretty big middle ground between, "anything can happen between between 'typical' playoff teams," and, "a good team that unfortunately kind of hit the wall due to injuries and an imploding starting rotation probably has a better shot of a rough go of it in the playoffs." Again, just boiling down to, "BUT LOOK AT THEIR RECORD," and, "anything can happen in the playoffs" feels more like handwaving away how the team is actually performing right now and what they're dealing with right now as the season winds down. I would really be surprised if they didn't make the playoffs, but I'm also not really expecting them to do much in the playoffs barring Bryant and at least one other starting pitcher really roaring back as themselves.

That seems to be a more debatable point now that the season is hinged on critical injuries and a truly terrible starting rotation. You could also use those words to describe Milwaukee. I'll take the 2 game lead and the superior talent elsewhere. I really don't care about Milwaukee; when I saw "the season" I'm talking about the end result in the playoffs, not whether or not they make it. I think they're facing a significant uphill climb for the season to not end up being a relative disappointment along those lines just do to where they've ended up due to health and the state of the starting rotation. The superior talent is pretty lopsided in regards to being able to compensate for the latter, so this ongoing hand-waving that essentially amounts to, "because of the team they have on paper and the record they have to this point they'll just figure it out somehow," rings relatively hollow given how late it is in the season, the injuries they're dealing with, how bad the starting rotation is and how bad the offense has performed for much of the second half. The list of things that they'll apparently just overcome because they should keeps getting longer as the season keeps getting shorter.

Months ago The Cubs have scored more runs than any team in the NL and have a 3 game lead on every team in the NL. Nothing wrong with scoring more runs and leading by more games. If anything, you seem to be a plant trying to convince the rest of us that these would be BAD things through some kind of perverse reverse psychology.... Let me ask you something: if some kind of horrible secret about you was revealed, would THIS be how you would make your escape?

This is the thread where we talk about how awesome Kris Bryant is
Sammy Sofa replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
They can always move him to 1B after Rizzo is gone in a year or two. -
Monsters like the Steinbrenners and the Ricketts are a necessary evil when it comes to our sportsball teams, and should only ever be begrudgingly tolerated at BEST. They're easier to tolerate (or admire)

That the Cubs are still playing meaningful games against the horsefeathering lame as horsefeathers Brewers in the middle of August assures me I reacted just fine.

Old Lester is dead. New Lester is a cruel bitch.

I too find it hilarious when my favorite team's best player is hurt for at least half the season. -
And now Kanye is a complete hot mess of a garbage person. COINCIDENCE?

OK, how about some more non-life shortening wins?

ALL TOO YEEZY.

FANTASTIC TO SEE YOU, CARL.
