  1. On the flipside, I am very entertained every time Rondon has to work his way out of a jam. Yeah. It's a little more fun to watch when the guy on the mound has a fastball in the upper-90s and a filthy slider to go with it. Exactly; this guy I feel like I want to watch through my fingers covering my face. He makes no sense.

  3. Man, Haren is not fun to watch pitch at all.
  4. Rizzo stepped down from the Pantheon to grace us with his baseball power.
  5. Would they have him play winter ball to try and get more time back there? He didn't seem to demonstrate much in the minors or his limited time catching in the majors that screamed that they need or should keep him at catcher outside of how dreamy it is to have an offensive monster manning the dish. JMO but he's probably a crap defender wherever he is, might as well keep screwing the chicken at C. Sure, but it seems like a crap defender in LF is less of a liability than a crappy catcher.
  6. I mean, there's a [expletive] umlaut over the y. That's impressive.
  7. Why does this keep happening? And why do I crack up every single time? [tweet] [/tweet]
  8. Gameday should say "Kyle Schwarber struts" instead of "Kyle Schwarber walks."
  9. No wonder the Giants should trade for that guy!
  10. Dat ball one AKA shoulda been strike three. GIVE ME ROBOTS.

  12. He's still just a platoon player. Obviously you can make that work, but FFS, there's a decent group of OF FA available and it would be nice if they were able to pick up one of them instead of trying to figure out how to Frankenstein Coghlan into the lineup. Yeah, he's been one of their better hitters this season, but that really shouldn't be the case next year. Let him be the awesome super-sub in 2016 and then wave good-bye. Plus who knows what the deal is going to be with 2B.
  13. I hope SSR can be there when the Cubs retire Grace's number.
  14. I love how it just says "three behind in the NL WC race" without mentioning that the team they're trying to overtake right now would be the team the guy they want to trade for is on. VERY CRAFTY, SPORTS GUY.
  15. I'm still kinda terrified of the Cubs settling for re-signing Fowler as being all that they should do with the OF for next season. He's countering being REALLY bad for a while by being amazing, which really skews what the hell to expect out of him going forward, plus I'm still wary about how his defense is suddenly rated as being a lot more tolerable this season. I wouldn't mind bringing him back if it went along with, say, signing Heyward (or Cespedes) and trading Soler, but just going forward with Schwarber, him and Soler all but locked in as the OF would make me a little nervous.
  16. Sorry, you might have to stop putting Fowler on those rosters: http://www.inquisitr.com/2352620/san-francisco-giants-trade-rumors-dexter-fowler-may-be-headed-to-the-giants/ Why in God's name would someone be paid to write this.
  17. Mentioned it another thread, but imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth if the Astros were still in the division.
  18. Pretty close. Cubs are 89.4 right now. Imagine if the [expletive] Astros were still in the division.
  19. Greatest pitcher of all time. I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.
  20. He's scared of his own shadow. He's VERY scared of clouds.
  21. That's why anyone who acts like they were appalled by it at the time is a dirty, stinkin' liar. It was so much fun
  22. You're scared of literally every Cubs game anywhere.
  23. Dear god, why? They all suck. As do Herrera, James Russell, and Dan Haren. Unless we can retroactively go back to the trade deadline and improve those spots on the roster... Duke Silver for 2015 MVP.
