    you absolute madman I WANTED to hate them. But they didn't and don't have nearly enough hatable players for my liking. They're either super forgettable or actually kinda cool dudes. Plus their parking lot is Jets vs. Sharks, except with real knives. Larry King's usually lurking in the front row like some kind of good luck ghoul...plus I'm never gonna fault a team for spending F.U. money. while just now looking at their fangraphs page to determine if i had reasons to hate their top 10 batters (I succeeded) I learned that Slur Hernandez hit 21 bombs this year

    I tried this yesterday and David and others pointed out that they are actually slightly below average at hitting LHP when you adjust for park effects 99 OPS+ against LHP at wrigley field this year. im unsure how many of those plate appearances (50) were in evening games though but basically we're gonna win

    a rockies win would be very inefficient from an alcohol standpoint because they're used to drinking at altitude

    the Cubs are the only team in baseball history to play a 162 game schedule, or so I've thought with all the complaints about the schedule the last couple of months. try 163 bitch

    ive actually got my eye on james hoye over there at 3B - our infielders have a lower UZR in games he's umpired. classic manfred trying to ensure that the small market cubs are kept out in favor of the rockies and brewers.

    it all comes down to this BDJ vs LDK for a portion of the marbles

    I feel like we already proved this year that our defense and even a bipolar offense can carry the pitching staff. You probably gotta bank on the arms you have, load up on some depth, hope smyly gives you 100+ innings and buy a fugging bat. i can't see them risking more than 100 million on an already injured pitcher coming over from another league

    If mst3k doesn’t lead to a win nothing will

    i'd rather listen to arod orgasm for two hours straight than listen to that shitty SANTA MARIA home run call when ian desmond hits a 450 foot bomb off hamels or whatever

    for now, at least it does sound super sexy to give them a taste and then beat them when it actually matters

    lol even in defeat you just can't help yourself Again, congrats on being right about your 5% or less chance of happening call on the VBs. do you ... think this is an insult

    im so used to len and JD that i forget how miserable it is to listen to sutcliffe. we dont get him tomorrow do we

    exactly! I just can't figure out how that happened given our run differential and the fact that they traded for jonathan schoop! it's really not fair if you think about it, they should have awarded us the division based on what we presumed our team would be based on our midseason run differential. The Brewers absolutely earned this, there is nothing unfair about it. This really has little to do with us and everything to do with the Brewers. We ended up about where we should’ve. A ~85 win team got really hot, congrats on being right and happy about that happening. lol even in defeat you just can't help yourself

    i was so deseprate pre-theo that i would have accepted a 2016 WS win and then every single player dying publicly

    my point all along has been that it is probably not safe to write the brewers off at every turn because they are a good team. they made a bunch of middling mid-season moves that accomplished nothing and guess what happened anyway? They went on a ridiculously improbable run to win the division that their underlying talent wouldn’t have predicted? exactly! I just can't figure out how that happened given our run differential and the fact that they traded for jonathan schoop! it's really not fair if you think about it, they should have awarded us the division based on what we presumed our team would be based on our midseason run differential.

    being extremely right does take a bit of the edge off

    how do some teams draft pitchers at the end of the first round and get dudes who have three plus pitches and throw 99 and we get alex horsefeathering lange lmao We turned ours in to Quintana awww horsefeathers that's right

    you should write front page articles Jonathan Villar was worth 1.3 WAR for the Orioles. Jonathan Schoop was worth -0.4 WAR for the Brewers. Is this you proving me wrong? Would you like me to start digging up posts from you during the 2016 NLCS? my point all along has been that it is probably not safe to write the brewers off at every turn because they are a good team. they made a bunch of middling mid-season moves that accomplished nothing and guess what happened anyway?

    Was wondering about that. Thanks for making me feel better. in my cherry-picked extremely meaningful stat that I need to make me feel secure tonight, i see on BR that Lester has a .605 career ERA against the Rockies. I can't see any way this dominance doesn't continue.

    horsefeathers now they're going to lose the efficiency olympics too? That's kinda what people judge at the deadline. It is pretty obvious they were going to be buyers and improve their team like nearly every contender did. I think they did the worst job at it this year. you should write front page articles
