It's a horsefeathers move until it isn't. Just like they're bums until they're not. Simple. I still think the process was fine on the moves, the results have been dog horsefeathers (Q has had his moments going back to last year though and we don’t make the NLCS without him). It’s just too bad there weren’t a ton of better options out there at the times we needed to make moves. I get the logic behind the moves; I'm just bummed right now over the results. The sense made by the trades/signings at the time is, to me, little comfort when we're neck deep in them all looking like varying degrees of suck. -
Theo needs to invent a time machine to make sure every move is always the right move that works out It's a horsefeathers move until it isn't. Just like they're bums until they're not. Simple.

What a hat trick of brutal pitching acquisitions.
-
I'm pretty sure we have to burn TT as a witch for that reassuring nonsense he was trying to peddle about the starting rotation.
-
Montgomery is going to end up being their second best starter this season, and that is a horsefeathering nightmare.

So that big dinner he bought was actually some kind of last meal for his arm, right?

Meanwhile Verlander and Cole are juggling cars just for kicks between starts.

This is arguably a really mild form of child abuse. -
Michael's has a cheap 8.5 x 14: http://www.michaels.com/basics-multi-purpose-frame-studio-decor/M10353844.html?dwvar_M10353844_size=6%22%20x%208%22&dwvar_M10353844_color=Black#prefn1=framedMattedSize&pmpt=qualifying&prefv1=8.5+in+x+14+in&start=1

And, let's be honest; Trevor Larnach isn't much better. -
Kyle Hendricks: Somehow Greg Maddux

I'm picturing a Large Marge-type situation. -
There's a more than 100% chance that Happ would end up wearing nu-Happ's face.

It was a nice run while it lasted. -
All that's missing are a visitors counter and some links to a web ring.

Dude who looks like that uncle you dread seeing at family gatherings turns out to be that uncle you dread seeing at family gatherings.

He kept calling even after I left 2 messages with my email address expressly saying he could just email me if he preferred. Dude's old timey; just look at that website!

I'll bet a lot of my meatball-y perception is in having gotten rid of cable since last season. Before I'd usually just have random games on in the background, and that would at least lead to things, like, "oh, I wonder how so and so is doing this year," or, "how does this team usually look in this category." Now more than ever I am just not really paying attention to other teams at all outside of game scores and random things like dongs, so it's really built up that typical "ONLY MY TEAM" response even more than usual.
-
I'll put it this way: it wouldn't surprise me at all if after last night they only score 9 more runs total over the next 5 games. It also wouldn't surprise me if they managed to win 3 of those 5 while doing that. It also wouldn't surprise me if they lost all 5 of those games. This is a weird horsefeathering team.

But like he said, just heaving out W-L stretches, of any sample size, like that is proof that they will of course be good or great is just as flimsy as pointing to a stretch and saying that that's proof that they will collapse (which, again, nobody is actually saying except r_mack). Everyone gets that teams fluctuate between hot and cold streaks; for me, it's worrisome that even when it's on, the team's offense has some bizarre shortcomings that they can't shake off (weirdly incompetent with what should be relatively easy run situations, the strange lack of home run power, etc.). It just seems like it gets immediately dismissed that offensively the Cubs are seemingly more lopsided than a "regular" streaky good team would be. That sounds stupidly generalized and meatball-y, but I really don't know how else to put it; they seem especially prone to feast or famine, but the feast part of it is at a relatively micro level where their offense explodes for 1-2 games and then REALLY scales back for multiple games, even if they do keep winning. Maybe it is all in my head, but it just seems off that a team that IS good has gone SO cold SO many times, even in a game where the best teams have fallow periods. And I am super paranoid about the starting pitching, too.

Yes and no. It is a color copy of the scorecard, but printed on a regular old sheet of legal paper. Framed seems the way to go, then Yeah, this is a very nice frame, but for the second one I'm just getting a cheap one at Michael's. And though it's not card stock, it does look great under glass.
