  1. it would be our version of what the red sox did to the yankees I'm pretty sure that if they actually overtook the Cardinals and then somehow managed to NOT win the WS I'd give up on baseball. They take the division and I am betting it ALL.
  2. Taking the division is going to shatter the Cardinals and TBFIB. It's going to be decadent.
  3. Edwards threw the 8th, 4 pitch walk, 5-4-3 GIDP, 4-3 GO Nice.
  4. Hey, the first playoff game at home is going to be insanely stressful until they actually win another one of the damn things. At least with the one-game playoff it's over quick if they lose as opposed to slow, statistically (almost) inevitable death if they lose the first game at home in a 5 game series. Win it and not only have they finally won a playoff again again, but one that moves them along. It exorcises a [expletive] ton of demons and starts the stampede.

  6. This is a perfect day for a strike thrower to eat some innings. With Hendricks tomorrow there's a chance we'll have to cash those in soon. That's on the Cubs for throwing Hendricks on one day rest. Hahahahahahahahaaahahaha!

  8. This is the true Cardinals. This just yet another preview of the fate that awaits them for years to come.

  10. I'm giving Molina the ol' stinkeye.
  11. Ho-hum. Haren's gonna lock this [expletive] down.
  12. How dare you lump that man's name in the same sentence as Bryant? Don't get all muley-eared with me. It's on those two for not getting any hits. I'm just reporting the facts. Heh-heh! "Mule."
  13. Vs. any other team, it would be go with the dregs time. Vs. these guys, I take nothing for granted until bottom of the 9th and 3 out. http://esq.h-cdn.co/assets/cm/15/06/54d4266c44124_-_.gif
  14. I couldn't even get the live feed to start. I had to start from the beginning and advance to about 5 minutes behind for it work.
  15. Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnne. He still looks like a defective dildo.
  16. LaStella has a career. .232/.306/.295 career line vs RHP. La Stella has played just over 100 games at the MLB level, I honestly don't really care much about his splits compared to his much larger track record that indicates he'll be able to get hit them pretty well. I mean, do we want to compare it to Baez's career MLB line against RHP? No way, I need to eat lunch. But if we're ultimately just still waiting to see what either can do, wouldn't it be preferable to just have Baez in there? He at least has a decent shot to stumble into blasting a dong. It's not like La Stella offers a clear defensive upgrade or anything.
  17. Yeah, it's high comedy up in here. Alright, let's have some fun. Let's list all of the Hendry-era middle infielders we like better than La Stella. Not including the players that never played for the Cubs that were traded away, it's a grim crew. Cubs middle-infielder seasons since 2001 with a higher walk rate than La Stella's career rate (400 PA total, the equivalent of a year): - 2002 Mark Bellhorn - 2008 Mark DeRosa - 2008 Ryan Theriot So yeah, sure, I'd prefer LH 2002 Mark Bellhorn and 2008 Mark DeRosa if he hit lefty. Aside from that, I'm willing to give La Stella more than 30 PA with the Cubs to prove a valuable LH IF bat. EDIT: Forgot Valbuena last year, but he wasn't exactly Hendry-era. 2015 Valbuena is having a weird season though. Valbuena this year is one of my favorite baseball things ever; he has such a bizarre line. And with La Stella, ultimately I have no problem with him as a backup, but right now it seems just kind of pointless to play him over Baez unless you're trying to skip a really, really tough pitcher. Plus I really just want them to absolutely pound the Cardinals into submission.
