The Real Chatwood needed to show his ugly head again; Theo and co. were a tad too close to being able to look at this as a salvageable signing. -

August 24 - Clurbs (Q) vs. MAGA Hats (Ross) 1:20pm
Sammy Sofa replied to Derwood's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Game should be 5-4, except Cubs still suck at gimme runs sitting on 3B with less than 2 outs. Cubs are a weird collection of tremendous natural talent tempered by abject baseball stupidity. -
Yeah, the Howard contract is my go-to whenever someone jumps immediately to "X HAS THE WORST CONTRACT EVAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR." Even though it likely isn't THE truly worst one of all time, it's such an easy recent example of a truly wretched deal that was, hilariously and obviously, doomed from the moment it was inked. It's especially funny to see Phillies fans already griping about Harper's like it's this historically terrible deal when they have the Howard example RIGHT horsefeathering THERE IN-HOUSE. I mean, Heyward's deal sucks, but it sucks more in one of those, "horsefeathers, baseball is cruel and weird sometimes" ways. Given his track record to that point and his age, it's absurd to think that was a bad deal as constructed. Sure, you can criticize (rightly so, IMO) that the Cubs effectively destroyed their investment via however the horsefeathers they destroyed his approach at that plate, and how badly they botched the rest of the OF, necessitating him to play more CF and weaken what value he's been able to claw back...but this is a "bad contract" in the unfortunate and rather unlikely way that played out, and not at all in the numbers and circumstances under which it was signed. On paper, it was a horsefeathering amazing deal.

Derwood, you are go. -
Why would you use Cishek in this game. Why would use ANY remotely valuable reliever at this point unless they badly needed the work?

Hi, my name is Sammy Sofa, and I can't stand Kris Bryant. I am a meatball.
-
The Artist. Man, that guy is so good and healthy I forgot he was a Cub.
-
OK, who ISN'T going through some kind of shitty patch on the team right now? Rizzo?
-
I realize you are talking about this most recent hot stretch of offense, but the Nats have been on a heater for a while. They are 52-26 since their horsefeathers start. ETA: Which is even crazier considering their craptastic bullpen. Yeah, I was surprised when he seemed to be earlier trying to boil it down like they have only just gotten good recently. They've been playing at something like a 105+ win pace for a long time.

Whao, hey, slow down there! Let's just see them try for a second hit!
-
and how grand t'was
-
Well, at some point Road Cobs or Home Cubs had to take over.
-
Just bring on the grand salami, boys.
-
Maddon's probably been senile since before the WS.
-
1 strike away from a mildly heroic brief return to form, so, of course, it's going to instead play out like a complete disaster from that point on.
-
Bryant is so horsefeathering lame.
-
Definitely more like Pukeroy. Get well soon, Willson. You are missed.
-
It's just you. Their bullpen is more horse horsefeathers than ours. We just need to keep this close. Oh, they only have to keep the Nationals from scoring a bunch? No problem.
