  1. I've had a shitty enough day, Cubs.
  2. Still don't like Gregg. Never will.
  3. He hit it solid. Just sucks it was ball 4 and sucks it was a pretty well hit ball that happened to be right at the fielder.
  4. Maybe Borbon thought he was 8 feet tall?
  5. THIS They are going to be a great booth.
  6. LOL "You can't steal it twice!" "Double Jeopardy!"
  7. That's [expletive]. They tagged him while he was off the base. What a bizarre play.
  8. Rizzo is straight murdering home run shots. What is that one? 450?
  9. Lead-off man stranded again. Ridiculously frustrating. Castro swinging at a ball that probably didn't even get to home plate is frustrating, too.
  10. Yep. When that pitch wasn't called a strike, I initially thought about the Shark AB with the bases loaded. Samardzija said a word or two after getting rung up and I would guess it was something along the lines of "just make sure I get that same call". He clearly got squeezed there and deserved to be pissed.
  11. How could you not love this one? http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/images/chc_2013_logocontest/display/304441643.png
  12. Well this is much more fun. Get this game in!
  13. Print it out and put it on a t-shirt. Yeah. It's pretty awesome to shoot for the stars.
  14. I'd be more inclined to believe him if this were the first time he said his wrist was healthy. It's just a spring training platitude like "rededicated" or "best shape of his career." Valbuena's sucky enough that I won't pitch a fit if they bench him, but I'm not exactly holding my breath for a Stewart breakout. It would be nice, though. Unless I'm mistaken, this is the first time he has gone under the knife to correct it though, correct? That's a pretty big distinction.
  15. Maybe Stewart will suck when he comes back. There is a strong possibility that is the case. But the fact of the matter is that he was once a very talented baseball player that has been playing with a hurt, painful, bum wrist for years. He has said after this last procedure it finally feels normal. He doesn't have to be "set the world on fire" productive for him to be an upgrade. Nobody has ever said that and nobody ever will. But there is a better than nothing chance he'll be an average-ish third baseman. Hell, there is a chance he could be a very good and above average third baseman when all is said and done. That's the damn reason they rolled the dice and traded an expendable and flawed Tyler Colvin for him. He's a lottery ticket. There were just no better (realistic) options for this season.
  16. I'm confused. Is that a reference to the weather. And no, this team is better than last season's team. Garza, even Baker, will return. And yes, Stewart will be a step up from the [expletive]-thrown-at-the-wall manning third base this season. The pen will sort itself out...eventually. Will they be good? No. But they will be better than last year.
  17. Len was daydreaming about Alberto getting hit by a pitch and breaking his hamate bone before he inevitably bounced harmlessly into the tailor made double play.
  18. That one would have left too on a *normal* night. GOD. I know not to expect anything. But it's still so damn frustrating watching this. I think it's a cumulative thing too with all my sports team. Perpetually and eternally frustrating.
  19. What a craptacularly boring game this has been. Hopefully Holland starts wearing down next inning. Just south of 100 pitches now.
  20. For some reason reading this made me laugh really hard
  21. Yeah, he's probably riding an all-time high. No need to put him in a position he's likely to not succeed. The more important half of the platoon is working. Sappelt is not as bad as he has looked.
