  1. if someone set the over/under for rest of season KB homers at 1 I would take the under
  2. holy horsefeathers this is embarrassing
  3. if russell was a man he wouldnt accept that hit
  4. Me, for one. good for you kirkjian!
  5. That tweet is trash and deserving of unending scorn im fine with it
  6. http://www.notshallow.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/human-centipde-drawing.jpg
  7. i cant believe we went from bullpenning the horsefeathers out of the playoffs to closing a must-win game with jorge de la rosa in like 10 days
  8. Carl gets one batter. If he goes to 3 balls, take his ass out
  9. we are for sure doing nothing until the 9th, loading the bases, and only getting one run
  10. please dont get shut out at home by matt harvey
  11. Injury update threads are created with the express purpose of injuring our players
  12. the upside to this weather is that maybe all of our players will drown and we can start over without all the bad FA signings
  13. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/hitters-no-longer-peak-only-decline/ this is obviously true, but even under these stricter standards, guys like Russell, Contreras, (even Schwarber if you consider that most of his WAR improvement is just that he has been given the opportunity to throw a lot of runners out from LF) have stalled at best. Russell has been unplayable for two years in a row.
  14. It's crazy to me that we won a world series with almost an entire roster of pre-prime or just-entering-their-prime guys, and almost to a man they have all gotten worse
  15. No offense to Duke, but what is really so amazing about what he’s predicting? He’s got a 50% chance of being right? They’ll either win the division or they won’t. What am I missing? That he’s being one of the only reasonable people in here instead of being a doom boner making wildly pessimistic proclamations about the team now and moving forward. Yes it sucks they aren’t playing well and we’re all pissed, but they’re still a plenty good team who’s had to overcome horsefeathers before and knows how to figure it out and they still have a 2 game L column lead with like 16 games left. It’s not like we’re 5 games back. I’m going to trust the track record of most of these guys being good to great players figuring it out, at least enough of them, than buying in to them all of the sudden being awful in arbitrary sample sizes. Get to the next off day with a lead. Yeah the guy who has written four articles declaring Jason Hayward fixed has some special insight into the cubs. Duke just takes whatever positive thing he can find, gloms onto it and declares that things are fine because ultimately the cubs aren’t a bad team and any idiot can look at the standings and see they’re good overall. He’s horsefeathering bill James wow
  16. Let’s be honest the Cubs have been extremely lucky in the second half. They have a negative run differential over a 60 game stretch. They have not played consistently good baseball and they have been an average team at best in the second half You keep saying this, but it's cherry picked and doesn't mean much. Our RD for the whole season is over +100. We had a bad week or two of RD right out of the break, then we played well for awhile, and now we've had a bad RD stretch the past week. Extend the time frame more or cut it smaller and you can make it say whatever you want. The Cubs are good. They've played well over the course of the season. No amount of SSS cherry-picking is going to change the fact that this is a mid-90 win team. Ok if they win 95 games I won’t post here the entire playoffs.
  17. bryant is useless, holy horsefeathers he sucks
  18. [tweet]https://twitter.com/Kenny_623/status/1038968815131013120[/tweet]

Unfortunately banged up Kris Bryant (hit a home run on 9/17 so he's fine) Drew Smyly (RIP) Brandon Morrow (RIP) Yu Darvish Schwarbs Stropey (mostly RIP) Sucks/blaming it on an injury Addison Russell Little of column A, little of column b Jason Heyward (returned from injury to his prior pretty bad play on 9/18) Fortunately healthy Yeah right now even risking it Unfortunately healthy Brandon Kintzler
  20. we should do one of those just to finish it off
