  1. like, right now well, not now, then He's just going to stay out there continuously and live off of gull meat and spilled beer.
  2. Heck yeah. The rest of you can stuff your sorries in a sack.
  3. He's beautiful to look at, but terrible at baseball. Seems simple enough.
  4. Your love/hate relationship with Soler is fascinating.
  5. I'm assuming that the ideas to play Soler stem from fears of Schwarber injuring himself, because there's absolutely no way that Soler is a better fielder than even a gigantic, hobbled sentient bat-dong hybrid.
  6. Beware Roberto Perez. Napoli. Ramirez. Santana. Lindor. I mean, not to be a dick or anything horsefeathers, IF ONLY THE CUBS COULD PUT TOGETHER A LINEUP OF DONGERS TO MASH SOME TATERS.
  7. I'm saying crazy horsefeathers now? lets not forget the hr hitters Cleveland does have. this isnt a team full of Jose Macias clones OK? The Cubs have the better starting pitcher and a better lineup for slugging and they're at home. It's not a lock, but a windy game is in their favor.
  8. Yeah, benching Zobrist right now would be madness. He and Schwarber are hot as the sun's balls right now; I say you put them both in the OF if you can and let their divine bats make up for the unlikely defensive screwup.
  9. If a smarter, better org is kind enough to pick them for them, sure.
  10. DAVID - YOU'VE SWITCHED OFF YOUR SWAGGER COMPUTER. WHAT'S WRONG?
  11. The Cleveland lineup isn't going to get much more righthanded, is it? If they could tolerate Soler's wretched (but sexy) presence in RF for a start, surely they can do the same for a guy in LF who is actually useful.
  12. not gonna lie, i'm a little worried about that too. Here's a new avatar for you: http://i.giphy.com/eJnXPUTnDE7V6.gif

  14. Well, my living grandmother is a White Sox fan (and was a NY Giants fan in her younger days), her husband was a White Sox fan when he was alive, my other grandmother didn't care about sports at all, and my OTHER grandfather was a Cubs fan, but he basically gave up on them and revealed some primo old man racism during the McGwire/Sosa home run battle. Ended up basically becoming a Braves fan in his final years because Chipper Jones was inexplicably suddenly his favorite baseball player. So, yeah, tough horsefeathers, gramps!
  15. This reminded me of something I was thinking about before Game 1. I imagined a conversation between Schwarber and La Stella when Schwarber came in to take his possible roster spot going something like the one Homer had with Darryl Strawberry: TLS: hey, you're Kyle Schwarber KS: Yes TLS: You're a left handed hitter KS: Yes TLS: I'm a left handed hitter, too KS: So... TLS: Well are you better than me? KS: Well... I haven't played all year, but yes These latest developments put all that mid-season La Stella drama into even sharper relief, don't they? I mean, you have all these teammates and management types praising Schwarber's commitment and work ethic and leadership -- and meanwhile, Tommy was pouting about spending some time in the minors. Not to re-litigate the episode while there are more important things to worry about, but wow, in retrospect the team showed remarkable restraint. With all of the awesomeness going on right now I can't imagine putting an ounce of thought towards La Stella at all. Like, I've already forgotten who he is while typing this post.
  16. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/the-incredible-comeback-of-kyle-schwarber-world-series-hero-and-secret-draft-room-weapon-072549932.html Disagree. I think that's gonna be Willson.
  17. An easy clinching game where Chapman doesn't pitch would be amazing so, like, a billion reasons. But especially for Chapman not pitching.
