Maybe it would be less frustrating if you just looked at them as a usually well run baseball organization instead of acting like they have some kind of baseball genie hidden in the depths of the stadium. Walt [expletive] Jocketty looked like a genius when he was running them And? He did a good job. Baseball teams don't have to be run by brain trusts (no, I'm not slamming our FO) to be successful. -

I think he just means we'll have better, even more playoff-ey teams over the next 5 years. Right; it wouldn't be surprising at all if this team made the playoffs, but I'm not really expecting them to, if that makes any sense. But they're still going to be plenty fun to watch this year; I think you're going to see some Astros-type stretches in them.

This year is not a mulligan. We have a playoff team. Maybe. The starting rotation could easily be pretty unimpressive for long stretches, and they're relying on a lot of young and/or experienced players to carry this team offensively. There's going to be a lot of up and downs and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see them miss the playoffs again. Next year is when these kind of losses are going to start driving me nuts again.
-
Meh; this was still a lot of fun. Lots of good stuff to take away from it. I don't really care if Travis Wood or sentient meatbags in the bullpen look bad.
-
Ahhhh, it happens. Next year is when [expletive] starts for real; this one is still a mulligan. I just want to see the right guys trending in the right direction over the season.

I don't know what to tell you; United Center crowds are notorious for how quiet they are.

Addison donging it up. BRB; need to change my WC pick.

Yeah, Bulls fans are basically the epitome of terrified Chicago fans; I don't know what David is talking about. ina town with cubs fans and bears fans, i have no idea how you can say that we won 6 championships. the bulls are the only team i don't visualize the most improbable terrible things happening even in the best situations with and they're the only team i ever had the feeling of not doubting that they'd ultimately prevail. The Bears games are full of stupid arrogance and wild abandon until [expletive] actually goes wrong and then everyone turns surly. The 6 championships don't mean [expletive] to anyone these days; long years of irrelevance and (especially) Rose's chronic neeitis has turned the crowds into timidly stressed out little dumplings.

Hey, a double play!

That guy is a hero. Also: nice shorts, Cardinals' staff. Roast's fannypack looks dignified by comparison.

it wouldn't kill us, but i do honestly believe it would completely cease to be fun during the games. basically they all have to be 03 nlcs games 2 and 4 for that not to be the case Big Chicago games mostly suck; the home fans always seem terrified of everything going wrong and everything is insanely nervous and tense and not fun at all. Though I can't speak for hockey fans; those animals are probably [expletive] in the seats and drinking paint thinner.

Starlin Castro turned in to Juan Pierre so slowly I didn't even notice it happened. I keed, I keed.
-
The Golden Fedora GROSS, NO.
-
Wow, [expletive] this ump. That corner is obscene.
-
To be fair, Travis Wood is some kind of garbage person.

So the bullpen woes everyone keeps complaining about are mostly just a heaping helping of BABIP variance? All of our pitchers have been BABIPed to death so far. I've never seen so many seeing eye ground balls in my life. The Arrietta start against the Reds may have been the worst. I guess that's what I still have trouble wrapping my head around; at what point does it go from "man, they're just REALLY unlucky" to "man, they're just giving up too many hits?" [expletive], Bryant just wants to live on base.

Remember Lester (aside from the pickoff stuff) his first couple outings and how great he is now? Today's bullpen is early Lester. I've only seen Lester's first and latest start, so that was a jarring shift.
-
Fellas, I haven't been able to watch very many games due to work, and the pitching all around has sure looked pretty poopy most of the times I have watched; please do me a solid and tell me some soothing things to make me feel better.
