  1. lol I'm totally fine with them taking Utley out of the game for Howie freakin Kendrick
  2. You can be mad about it all you want John, don't walk multiple people
  3. Lackey, you have a 5 run lead just throw meatballs Christ the abaolute worst thing you can do is walk multiple people
  4. I'm not sure its possible for this team to score a run again
  5. We've gotten pretty lucky on reviews this postseason between that Rizzo pick and this play Let's take advantage of the good fortune
  6. Javy has already drawn 2 four-pitch walks this series, I don't understand how we can lose it
  7. It's actually really wise by Roberts, isn't it? Assuming he can only start once more this series, you'd rather him start on full rest than not. And you're not worried about the series not going to his next game because it has to go minimum 6 games if you're the Dodgers and losing. it means he's likely not a relief option in game 7 Sure, but if I'm the Dodgers I'd rather him start his game on full strength than potentially screwing him up on the off chance it goes 7 and he is even needed for high leverage innings there.

  9. I don't really feel all that doom-and-gloomy, I think the Cubs will score runs in the next few games and I think this going to be a long series that goes back to Wrigley. I *do* think that my expectations have turned around immensely from the end of Game 1 till now, which is a shame. But whaddayagonnado? Gimme some fun baseball is all I ask.
  10. Yeah I would imagine players would agitate for the DH as it would extend players careers and also give more players the chance to play in the majors And naturally anything that gives players a better bargaining position owners would feel more lukewarm on. That and inertia, which is a huge thing in baseball
  11. Im much less worried about Lackey than i am about our ability to score runs. But we're gonna get 5-6 innings of Dodger bullpen tonight, a bullpen that's also includes the dying husk of the Athenian soldier than ran the first Marathon, which is not nothing. Hit some baseballs friends
  12. i'm gonna turn the game off b/c the last time i did that the Cubs had their crazy 5 run inning that won the Giants series, and, bonus points, it'll save me aggravation
  13. My boys Ski and Rondon Fan are making the best posts here and I love them tbh
  14. If Hill still pitched for us he's be stuck in some sort of Schroedingerian Limbo where he would somehow be out of the major leagues but also up in the major leagues at the same time - however it costs the most disappointment
  15. oh the big red idiot gets a home run too he's the one i hate the most
  16. i guess part of me is happy for rich hill b/c i still will identify him with the cubs in some eternal manner he's thrown a good game
  17. momentum doesn't exist in a baseball game but that russell at bat with 2 on and 1 out ending in a strike out was just absolutely killer. i have absolutely no proof, nor will i ever, but i just feel like if we managed to scratch a run or two there, this game is so very very different but also its baseball, god hates us, there is no logic to the universe, etc etc
  18. i think i've seen the Cubs pop it up the last two games than I have all season combined
  19. I have a lot of confidence that they'll hit more line drives, but they'll be right at people
  20. Basically this ump is saying that if you dont hit your spot i dont care if you are in the zone, I'm not gonna call it a strike which is [expletive]
  21. Rich Hill looks so much like Gomer Pyle when he has a batting helmet on
