SOMEBODY CHECK ON WSR.

Oh, good God.

Man, Jackson shits all over Denofria. Clones my big fat white butt.

You're so wise. Now tell me who gets this baby!

I look at it less as he was in front of the ball so much as the hop ate him up and he had no time to adjust/respond. I don't think anyone likely would have playing in the same spot. Personally, I thought it should have been a hit, but I see why it could go either way.

What, the Soriano thread?

They actually seem like a bunch of good dudes.

I only actually joined when the White Sox where in the WS in 2005; before that I just lurked every so often, so I probably just missed it. I'd like to think I helped make up for it with the Soriano Photoshop thread.

Link to this thread, dammit. I have no idea what you're talking about. Nevermind, I think it's lost forever. Looks like it was linked to in this thead, so let's just share in the embarrassment of that one all over again: viewtopic.php?t=23592

I've never cared for him, and I don't feel bad about it. How about....NOW: http://cdn1.sbnation.com/imported_assets/1016271/jeff-samardzija.jpg He's gonna kiss that ball, just for you.

bc you can't remember ever having heard of him before Sunday night? Don't be silly; he's a real player, not a prospect.

I just assumed he's always concussed based on his general appearance.

I keep forgetting Arrieta is as old as he is. I don't know why I think he's a couple years younger. I'm also unsure as to why people are so confident that the Cubs are going to develop good starters in short order. I mean, I sure hope they do, but the cupboard seems a bit bare.

14th no-hitter in Cubs' history. http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/271547322563-0-1/s-l1000.jpg Hmmmmm.

See, that's how I saw it too, but the official scorer didn't... Looking at the replays I still think ball came up; oh well, worked out for the Cubs.

Please start scoring runs again. Thanks.

During his postgame interview, even Arrieta basically implied that he was surprised they did not score that as a hit. I didn't see it live, but after watching the replay, it could have been scored a hit. In fact, had this not been a no-hitter, I wouldn't have been surprised to see that changed to a hit following the game. As for the bunt, in a 2-0 game where a successful bunt hit puts brings the tying run to the plate, it wouldn't have been the worst thing in the world to do. (Someone did this against Arizona I believe when Brenly was managing them, and he flipped the [expletive] out. It was the same situation though, where it was 2-0 with a no-hitter on the line in the 9th.) I'm not saying I would have been cool with them bunting to wreck the no-hitter, but if you're a first place team trying to put more distance between you and the Giants...strategically, it wouldn't have been the worst idea to get the potential tying run to the plate. Kruk says a lot of stupid [expletive], but I'm not sure he was that off the mark on those two comments. Agreed; I was surprised when watching it that it was scored as an error and not a hit; Castro was set to grab it and it took a big bounce and basically fired right at his gut. I doubt anyone else would have been able to do much besides just stop it like he did. And with the bunt he was just posing it as a "what if?" as opposed to saying that they should do it, and like you (and he) said, they were just down 2 and they're fighting for the division. It wasn't likely to happen, but it wouldn't have been the end of the world if they had tried.

Plus if somebody with a better reputation had been manning 2B that error probably would have been scored a hit! Truly, he is the hero of the season.

Good game thread power, gooney.

2008 was pretty damn likable, but these guys may well take the cake just for sheer goofiness. This team has no Theriot. It's no contest.

Man, bring on the 1 game playoff. Arrieta is gonna massacre that [expletive].

christ i had repressed any memory of his existence entirely Didn't he do something ridiculous and win, like, 8 straight? Almost, 6 in a row and 8 of 9 What a big tub of goo.
