Leave Obama out of this man, he's retired. Hahahah! This is a good cut. -
Dodgers at the plate all, like:
-
Don't do that again, please.
-
[expletive], those gnats(?) are swarming big time.

Almora is gonna be this year's Baez.

It was all just a matter of time. Kershaw barking after he tanked the pitch before was prophetic.

This feels very good, like the Cubs are very confidently and surgically breaking down Kershaw's vulnerabilities. It feels like it's just a matter of time...the third time through the lineup might be a disaster for him.

Yes, anyone who gets put on the DL would be ineligible for the world series. Of course it's not difficult to imagine that being a worthwhile tradeoff if you're trailing in a series and you can just start McCarthy instead of Wood later, or not worry about bringing back Charlie Culbertson or whatever. IT'S A "DISABLED" LIST, DAMMIT!!! http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/636/872/b07.gif

That doesn’t suck.

After the shenanigans of the last series...

Did I miss the Cubs' lineup being posted somewhere?

Oh, also, this is great http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=29866&p=848659#p848659 I wonder what a guy like ZZ Thorn would think about the current state of the team. I feel like the Ricketts and this front office have given us everything we wanted for the Cubs. We've got a smart, analytical front office who tend to value the sorts of traits in players that we also value. They put together the best run in our lifetimes, and finally won the World Series. Does ZZ Thorn just accept these changes and enjoy them now that they've actually been made, or does he still favor the Dusty and Hendry approach? We've seen those types grouse and gripe a little louder from time to time if the team really struggles for a stretch, but I can't imagine that even the biggest pro-Dusty or Hendry weirdo isn't happy with the end results of the current regime. I mean, they're ultimately Cubs fans.

I'm still totally on board the "Let the Surly Ol' Mule start Game 1" train, though I'm weirdly torn on whether I'd want Lester or Quintana starting tomorrow. Weren't both better on the road than at Wrigley this season? Probably just a lot of noise (especially in Quintana's case), but I thought someone pointed out here how Lester had some surprising home/road splits in 2017. I could, however, just be totally making this up. I was ready to agree with you on Lester because I remembered the two starts where he didn't make it out of the second (one of them he didn't make it out of the first) were at home, but even with those starts he still has slightly better numbers at home this year. 4.27 vs 4.41 ERA, FIP about the same. Cool; I figured it was probably me imagining things.

It's pretty crazy how huge a difference be if Wilson hadn't inexplicably stopped being Wilson the second he joined the Cubs. I fully expect Carl to flip it back on any time now, as he seems wont to do when he gets like this, so just having Wilson being himself would all of a sudden make this a pretty decent bullpen between him, Strop, Carl, Montgomery and Davis. It's been a real kick to the nuts to not be able to rely on him at all.

Yeah, I'd say in the dozen or so games I've been to at Nats Park I see significantly more kids there than I do at most of the Cubs games I've been to (which is not to say there's not often a lot of kids at Wrigley). Just going with my own small sample size, there seems to be more younger kids and grandparent-types at Nats games than when I've been to Wrigley or places like PNC or Camden or Miller Park; those latter places (especially Wrigley) seem MUCH heavier people who look to be in their 20's and 30's than the Nats games.

Yeah, that's some hack hockey bull horsefeathers right there.
-
Yeah, this idea that nobody can actually be a fan of the Nats if they're not a kid is pretty hilariously petty. It was an area without a baseball team for a while, but where people really wanted a baseball team, so they embraced it when they got one. I have no idea why this would seem odd to anyone.

I was rarely more than indifferent to them. That's pretty much the case for all the non-Cardinals Central teams for me.
-
You had a lot of Mid-Atlantic folks who halfheartedly rooted for NY or PA teams, or the Orioles, so there was a lot of excitement when DC got a team again. You've got a lot of local DC/VA/MD people that wanted a team and jumped on right away. I mean, they've been around 12 years now, so I'm not gonna begrudge people for being passionate about them like the team just appeared out of nowhere.
-
Same here; seems like a totally different team.
