    [expletive], you sicken me. WHY ARE YOU AFRAID OF EVERYTHING. I'm pretty sure a one game playoff is always a little nerve-racking, but I just don't think there's a tougher place to play on the road than PNC Park right now in all of MLB. The Cubs are 3-3 there this season. YOU ARE THE WORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRST.

    I agree that Baez would've had less of a chance of succeeding, but if we're going to blame a particular front office for how Castro has turned out, it shouldn't be Hendry's. I think it's kind of forgotten how dominant Starlin was before getting called up. In my mind he wasn't rushed. For about two dozen games literally weeks after turning 20. He was always obviously aggressive, and I'd like to think that a smarter FO would have taken a bit more time to try and refine that a bit, especially given his age. Even if it just meant him coming up a year later at 21 like Addison did, they really did just jump on promoting him as soon as he broke out.

    I was thinking of something more along the lines of "this doubleheader is the worst thing to ever happen on this date," but that works better.

    Philadelphia is the worst place on Earth.

    Who gives a [expletive] if they traded Hendry-era players? How is that any kind of positive reflection on Hendry? He failed to utilize them with any kind of sustained success while he was in charge, so...good for him, I guess. I don't think you even know what the hell you're trying to give him credit for. Sure, let's give him credit for not being SO terrible that he technically didn't leave the successive regime with absolutely nothing to work with. What a legacy! I have no idea why you seem so determined to think that being able to trade players acquired under a previous GM is some kind of badge of honor for the failed GM. It's like looking at a CEO coming in and saving a company from failing, but wanting to give credit to the previous CEO for putting the new guy in a position to be able to save the company in the first place. Sorry, Hendry's legacy as a turd is cemented for eternity.

    I can't think of a way that you can prepare an egg that I wouldn't want to eat all of it as often as possible right away. And if I have to choose I would take French toast over pancakes, but I think waffles easily trumps them both.

    Baez' chances of succeeding in a Hendry system are probably less than nil, and who knows how much they fucked up Castro by needlessly pushing him to the bigs. Hendry can smooch my taint.

    Humans enjoy many delicious things. Pancakes, waffles and French toast are all delightful options that can be enjoyed at different times, or sometimes all at once. I'm intrigued If I'm at some kind of breakfast buffet scenario, the carnage left behind is...unspeakable.

    Banana pancakes, too. Love those things.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Preach on. Muffins with banana in them are great, too.

    Worst Star Wars villain EVER.

    The speculation is that it'll be Wood.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Derwood is just cramming food into his mouth.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    On it's own? Yellow with a few brown spots. In cereal? The same, or with a fee more brown spots. Using in a smoothie or making something like banana bread or pancakes? Mostly brown and a super mushy banana. Any green whatsoever is unacceptable. Ugh.

    i realize the irony in that i'm saying this (but i expected the sweep after 2 wins and going into the 8th with a 2 run lead), but you should never expect any team to sweep anyone. stop saying that. and why the hell would you expect the pirates to sweep milwaukee but us to lose to philly? purely home/road is your reasoning? thanks for allowing me to shift my anger elsewhere tho Pittsburgh is a World Series caliber club when they play at home. Not so much on the road. Still, their futility at Miller Park is a head-scratcher. As for the Cubs, Haren/Hendricks will be starting 2 of the 3 so I expect one of them to give up a bunch. Hopefully our dongs prevail. The Phillies are garbage; you really can't see Haren and Hendricks having the type of success they've had a LOT of this year against a team that bad?
  18. Sammy Sofa
    I'm rooting for the Pirates so [expletive] hard now. I want the Cubs to face the Cardinals in the WC game something fierce.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Agreed; if he had been in the starting lineup they would have won, dammit.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    He is being rational. He's not blaming it on magic or anything.

    It has. That was a very mundane comeback win. I realize it was after Lester had come out of the game, but they won by stringing three of their five hits together in a way that scored the game's winning runs. Hits that easily could have been scattered harmlessly through the rest of the game. Not to mention their mediocre relievers shutting down the Cubs and Cardinals pitching lights out when the Cubs had scoring opportunities. This was a very Cardinals-esque comeback win. All hits can be "scattered harmlessly throughout a game;" that's an utterly meaningless thing to say. yeah, like ours were "Dammit, they hit their walkoff home run in the bottom of the 9th instead of harmlessly in the 4th! ONLY THAT TEAM!!!"

Are you saying anything less than thunderous doubles or home runs are just fluke-y hits when it comes to winning late? You're reaching even harder than usual.

    Pretty much. This DID mean something, and this is a crappy loss. It's not going to send them spiraling off into failure, but being only 5.5 back with the series coming up would have been gigantic. Maddon should have been doing everything possible to step on their throat today.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    I'm bugged by the first half of the 8th, too. If you're pulling Lester, why is Ross hitting? Why is Herrera then hitting for Lester? If Bryant actually wasn't available, alright, but Montero-Bryant-Russell would have been much more soothing.
