  1. Also at stake: the Cubs can hand the Cardinals their 69th loss during this series.
  2. Man, I really was not expecting this to bum me out as much as it has. Despite all the jokes over the years about how old Fred was and knowing he was dealing with some health issues, I was just assuming right up until the news this morning that, of course, he would be back as king of the game threads and with those stats of his in time for the playoffs. I sadly never met the man, but based on everything people are bringing up here, I really wish I had.
  3. Greetings from hideous Herndon, Virginia !!! Go CUBS !!!
  4. Ah, damn; this is a cruddy thing to wake up to. I started lurking here during the 2005 season, and Fred's goofy humor and his stats were some of the main reasons this seemed like such a good board to join. It's too bad he never got to see this stupid, wonderful team win a WS, but hopefully if it happens this year a little part of it is for him. And very cool to name the game thread forum after him. He will be missed.
  5. That's the stuff. Now gimme them double digits.
  6. horsefeathers football; all is full of Cubs.
  7. Isn't it the exact opposite of that? When he's good, they tend to be good. You can see and track the results, individual and team-wise. No, because Blake Bortles went for 35/18 last year but Jay went a modest 21/11 and carried the team in every game. But it's not like you have to dig to figure out Cutler was good last season; he clearly was by pretty much every key metric. Some of his numbers were dragged down by being on a horsefeathers team. There's not really anything intangible about it.

  9. this isn't a thing teamwide offensive momentum isn't a thing this is baseball and streaks happen from time, both good and bad, for no reason in particular I think the RISP struggles are worth a concern. What does this even mean? Unless you think the Cubs are allergic to hitting with RISP, or simply forgot how to do it, what are you realistically thinking the problem is?
  10. I TOOK THIS LACKEY BULLET FOR YOU, TREE.
  11. Time for something heroic.
  12. Carl is a cool guy with a tiny head.

  14. Oh, no, I work with a different government agency. Dude, just let it go. My board status-thingie here was "Racey McRacist" for years and somehow I survived. I feel like having a conversation immediately makes it seem like I'm over the top angry or out of my mind or on a crusade. There is nothing to let go. I'm fine. I just happened to have an opinion and was expressing it during our convo. The CIA? Sometimes.
  15. Maybe? What does the FBI have to do with anything? [expletive]. I thought you once worked for the FBI or was associated with them. Oh, no, I work with a different government agency. Dude, just let it go. My board status-thingie here was "Racey McRacist" for years and somehow I survived.
  16. I think people are able to run on Hendricks and Jake, too. Not sure what those numbers look like for Hammel and Lackey.
  17. OH MAN, THIS IS SO UNFAIR. I was wrong. It actually feels pretty good. Also aren't most people associated with the FBI sort of racist? Maybe? What does the FBI have to do with anything?
  18. Wait, my feed is seriously just at the start of the bottom of the 5th and the inning is actually already over? Good lord.
  19. Or just strike out, do that.
  20. I'm assuming Matt Vasgersian is actually the Grand Cyclops of the Klan RIGHT NOW. Quiet down, you racist. OH MAN, THIS IS SO UNFAIR.
