  1. this is the last regular season home game right? runs, then, are demanded
  2. Jesus what a shock. One of the premier talents in the game and gone just like that at age 24. Christ.
  3. I strangely have confidence Heyward is going to be amazing in the playoffs
  4. Ugh I just want the bullpen of doom looking amazing going into the playoffs
  5. I'm fully on board with entering 2017 with Montgomery as a presumptive 5th starter (but we have plenty of time to evaluate and trade and sign people)
  6. RBIs are stupid and meaningless but in equally meaningless stats and end points, I'm happy both Fowler and Zobrist halted their slide to getting below .800 OPS on the season
  7. Why does Hammel pitch like he specifically hates Cub fans
  8. This is my favorite offensive lineup
  9. Yeah seriously, I know why they were trying Contreras with him a bunch but they seem the most comfortable together and you really want the best framer with Arrieta you can get
  10. We're getting unhittable God Mode Arrieta at the exact right time, which is cool
  11. someone needs to lie to Addy and just tell him its the 8th inning and the Cubs are down and we'll get those RBIs
  12. Dang. Now its looking a little rough for Addison to get to 100 RBIs, that was a good opportunity
  13. hey if you swing or attempt a bunt and get hit by a pitch its still a strike this is baseball for beginners
  14. lol David is gonna love a gif of Kolten Wong's face firmly planted on the outfield grass
  15. Just want to jump in and say, Baseball is Good, God Bless Baseball
  16. The only time I actually get kinda quasi-superstitious is when it comes to rooting for different playoff opponents because I've done it in the past and I feel like I got slammed down with some sort of Greek tragedy hubris. The Diamondbacks were an obvious one - rooted hard for that, they were an actual *bad* team that luck fluked their way to 90 wins, and I pulled hard down the stretch for that match up. And last year I pulled hard for the Mets against the Dodgers because they seemed like by far the lesser opponent in that match up. (not to mention, no matter how little it matters, how well we did against them in the regular season). I knew all of it only added up to small bits of an edge, but it was how I put together my rooting interests. This time I will strive to be blissfully non-partisan.
  17. is there any reason to watch another Bears game this year
  18. Oh my god Barry Rozner is so god damn stupid "If Strop is good and healthy...is Edwards on the roster?" Yes, what, what are you even talking about
  19. Its stupid that I get increasingly agitated as the Cubs win games in garbage time and yet see their WS% drop on the fangraphs mode that isn't season-to-date. Like, for no reason at all, they went fro ~19% to ~16% after the Brewers and Reds series. But its also, completely, whatever. I believe the season-to-date and 538 numbers are the most reasonably accurate- about a 25% chance to win the World Series. Which is really, really, really good. Also the Cubs just matched last years win totals at 97, and have 10 more games to play. The baseball gods are good.
  20. Now that I inow about how whacky the rules get when there's a three way tie for the wildcard, I'm rooting for that madness to occur
