god watching almora run through mud on that RBI double last night just never gets old

That’s not what I said. I think he was always pretty high on javy but I could be wrong strangely enough, if i remember right, he wasn't necessarily anti-javy, he would just kind of always compare him to lindor and talk about how much worse he was than lindor, so he ended up kinda being right

thats a good god dang win

lol harper

this ump is the addison caratini of umps

lollllll

caratini is a horsefeathering waste

david bote has 2 hits in his last 87 at bats, both against the nats

lol

bullpenning in the playoffs starting to look like less of a viable option

jesus, is he the fastest cub in modern history

almora hit it all the way into the outfield

soto runs like a broke-ass almora

bryant is still bad and looks uncomfortable

yeahh the plan was obviously to hit on first round hitters and then grab pitchers in quantity and hope to get one or two hendrickses out of the deal, and they missed on all of them. edit: they did hit on the hitters tho so that's nice

I mean Javy becoming this player without ever learning how to take a walk has to be an almost impossible outcome.

i love sean doolittle

one time when i was in high school i hit a ball into the left field corner and when i got to second i saw there was nobody at third. i was instantly thrilled about how smart i was for being the good baserunner who noticed things like that so i ran to third. the third baseman who was out in shallow left field immediately saw what i was doing and jogged back to the bag and i was out by 20 feet and my coach took me out of the game for being an idiot. i can’t even imagine what it must feel like to see stuff like that and be right. I can top this in the shame department. I tried the same thing during a middle school game and actually just barely made it, but I did the worst "slide" of all time to cap it off. Not really a slide so much as a flying belly flop that completely knocked the wind out of me. I tried to play it off like I was OK and stood up to dust myself off, but then...I'm still not even sure what happened. The 3B coach asked if I was OK, and, still trying to catch my breath all I could do was nod and unleash the loudest damn fart I've ever managed. I cannot emphasize enough how much of a foghorn this sounded like; it was like a delayed reaction to the belly flop and all of the air inside of me was blasting out of my ass. There's zero chance the people in the stands didn't hear it. The ump and the coach are trying their damnedest to not laugh, the third baseman is losing his mind, and my damn dugout is going nuts. Meanwhile, I'm finally doubled over with my hands on my knees trying to breathe again. I was not good at baseball. ahahahhahahhahhhaah what the horsefeathers

after 2017 justin wilson and 2018 tyler chatwood, this brief two innings of monty wildness doesn't phase me whatsoever

i may have fucked this up for us

The correct answer is Cardinals in the first round - Brewers take an L and don't even get to face us, plus we eliminate a team whose fanbase is really feeling itself right now after their hot streak. Dodgers in the NLCS - Revenge for the pantsing last year. Red Sox - Best team in the majors all year.

Are you guys talking about Ken Giles? The idiot with seriously bad makeup concerns? horsefeathers no, we're not trading for that loser... [tweet] [/tweet] Just move on guys. Theo and Jed aren't making a trade for him lol. now if he'd punched a woman instead of himself, they might consider it

i would absolutely trade ian happ for walker buehler

Okay Duker, at the risk of falling into the same recency bias that made me meltdown in the first place, the Cubs are going to enter the playoffs as the favorites to reach the world series. can't ask for much more than that.

how did we get him for free lmao
