    How likely do you think it is that the Cubs win the division? I could see it being a Clinton/Trump-type scenario. So, what, approx. 75% or so?
  2. Sammy Sofa
    Probably whatever we did to beat them in the season series. Sham Lester.

    Man, when Theo and co. whiff on a pitcher, they whiff SPECTACULARLY.

    Man, I skip this one to go to the gym thinking it was gonna be a laugher for the Cubs. Quintana is straight up butt. He and Lester are really working hard to make Yu coming back as Classic Yu before his arm rips out of his socket at the end of the season a necessity.

    CliffsNotes version: detached fandom is the new hotness I don't even own a sports squadron.

    It's all just goofy fan stuff; it's just the flipside of people who get more negative when things aren't going well because they're not going well IN THE MOMENT. That's why it rings hollow for me when people just go overboard with the stuff about how in the big picture it doesn't matter, or it's just a blip before the rival collapses, or whatever. Yeah, when we get to the point...down the line....when that's the case, hey, great! But in the moment, when it's happening, it does matter in the sense that almost anyone with a pulse is going to get worked up over their team, and the idea that horsefeathering up a series in August against the awful Padres with the Brewers right on the Cubs' back doesn't matter because, potentially, looking back on that single series at some point in the future is going to be largely meaningless is just dumb. Whether it's focusing more on the things going wrong or going over the top in horsefeathers talking the Brewers, that's just what happens as this stuff is happening. After the fact, big picture? Yeah, these little things don't really matter in the scope of the season, but as it plays out is sure as horsefeathers does, and getting worked up positively or negatively is, IMO, a more normal response than, "psh, it doesn't matter."

    Oh lord; enough with this already.

    Weird timing for this since Harper has been back to slaying fools for a month now. Also weird to be pondering moves of this magnitude because of Bote.

    David majestically cleared that hurdle a long time ago. We tried to congratulate him, but he was too busy posting in a Bears preseason thread.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Much like the other day, this is not a thing that is happening.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    "LOL Stearns/4D Chess/Vaunted Brewers/LOL!" *breathlessly follows every pitch of every Brewers game* This is basically called being a fan of a sports team.

    It does crack me up how there are those of us here who absolutely lose their minds with despair if the Cubs lose a couple games, and then the slippery naked Ecstasy pile that forms when the Brewers lose a couple of games. Basically everyone is a manic depressive lunatic except for TT.

    Yeah, didn't mean it as a comparison really. Just was looking at Manny's stats and remembering how good he was and it's crazy to me that Javy is on that level overall this year. Speaking of crazy stats, I also saw something on Twitter comparing Bryant’s first 100 or so games in 2015 to Javy’s this season. I was struck by two things: 1. Javy is just about as good as Bryant was over that stretch which is amazing 2. Bryant K-ing a lot is but a distant memory. I can’t believe he was that good and just got better. Until he was tragically lost at sea a couple of months ago.

    Me vs. the Cubs after the last series: I'm pleased that they obeyed.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Nobody was comparing them defensively, you dork.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    I don't think anyone's worried about pressure; I just think it's funny in a, "y'know, that apple would be a really great apple if it was actually an orange," sort of way.

    JOE MADDON SAID SOME STRAIGHT NONSENSE ABOUT A PLAYER HE SHOULD REALLY HAVE A MUCH BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF BECAUSE IT'S KINDA LIKE HIS JOB OR SOMETHING WHAT NO WAY GET OUT OF TOWN I DON'T BELIEVE IT
  18. Sammy Sofa
    I had to look up if the Royals were starting a righty or a lefty today because it’s impossible to tell based on the lineup. So did Joe. After the fact.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    I was gonna say EAT BUTT, JOE, but the jerk would probably screw that up, too.

    Also: hey, the Chicago Dogs now exist!

    That's awesome! These assholes owe you some amazing games.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    You say that like it would inexplicably be a bad thing instead of a blessing from the gods.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    I cannot stress enough how little I was worried about the accuracy of my analogy about the regular season-hating robot talking about bugs on a pizza.
