    Muahahahahahahaaaah!

    But he's not hurting the team; he's THAT good an all-around player. Bump him lower in the lineup maybe, but putting him on the DL for something he likely just needs to keep playing through doesn't accomplish much.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Well...that wrist...

    He savaged that thing.

    Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt your crying circle, guys.

    Fowler is just in another dimension right now.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    And the game is just going to slow down even more when the Cubs start going.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    This game is going to take foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    The lack of a bat flip game is problematic.

    Soler is the new La Stella; I am now bummed to see him in the lineup instead of Baez or, insanely, La Stella.

    I have feeling the FO isn't really worried about something like this unless the player coming back would be some kind of Milton Bradley nutcase; the best player in the game would probably fit in just fine. Plus he and Rizzo can share tinyface stories.

    It's really not; no matter how good he's been, for much of his time he couldn't be helped but look at as taking playing time from a sexier player people were more excited to see. Now that Schwarber is out and Soler stinks it's really no big deal that he's in there, but for much of last year there was usually someone we wan ted to see more. Except he really never did take away time from anybody. He played as much as he should have and did well. Again, it's not a logic thing. "Great, I can actually sit down and watch this exciting young Cubs team; I haven't seen a game all week and I can't wait to see-, awwww, horsefeathers, La Stella." Everyone knows players can't and aren't going to play every single game, but given the circumstances, when you tune in you can't help but want the video game lineup every single time, and La Stella just isn't one of those guys, no matter how well he fulfills his role. There's always going to be some schlubs, but La Stella just seemed so extra schlubby. Hell, he wasn't even a schlub from the Cubs' system, or a former hot pick like Coghlan. He's just...Tommy La Stella. There was just something inherently disappointing about seeing him in the lineup instead of someone you can't help but like more.

    I could heat my home for the winter with this take.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Holy hell, no, it is not. Not at all.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    What would you say if they asked for 2 of Rizzo, Schwarber, Russell, And Bryant? I would give them Schwarber and Russell and then go straight to jail for pulling off the robbery of the century.

    It's pretty great! If only he weren't such a creepy weirdo.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    This person does not seem very bright. Like they shouldn't be around sharp corners.

    Tommy La Stella: Upper Torso Shaped Like a Seal AND Good at Baseball?!?
  22. Sammy Sofa
    I never though my first game threads would be for such a couple of epic series. I feel giddy. And thanks again for letting me step in after missing the first one. That's teamwork, dammit.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Mainly I'm wary about what LLF thinks the Soler thread title is.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Sterling Hayden is rolling over in his grave, dammit!

    Lots of wailing and fussin' and feudin' and general whining in the last game thread. I'll chalk it up to witnessing the bizarre phenomenon that is Tommy La Stella: Awesome Baseball Player. It's a weird and uncomfortable thing to watch, like a cow talking or The Big Bang Theory. So the Nats are sending a pretty good pitcher to the mound, but for the third game in a row the first picture I find of their starter makes them look really terrified/unsure of their pitching ability: http://mlb.mlb.com/images/players/525x330/alt/461829.jpg "Uhhhhhmmmm, this pitch is good enough, I GUESS." That kind of self-doubt is a recipe for a dongin'. Meanwhile, Hammel looks badass as hell and clearly does not give any of the fucks about who he is facing: http://mlb.mlb.com/images/players/525x330/434628.jpg Probably feels pretty good since he's a career 9-0 against the Nats, for those that care about such things. Let the mighty dongfest...CONTINUE!!! http://cdn0.sbnation.com/imported_assets/1157613/gocubs.gif
