  1. The Indians knocking out the BoSox from the playoffs would probably add a few meager percentage points to our odds so yesterday was overall good result
  2. Dear Baseball Gods, I don't do this much but, please, all I would like are 11 low stress beatdowns in a row a la the first Toronto-Texas game. In favor of the Cubs of course, Thanks,
  3. Umm, Soler and Contreras oh yeah, i'm brain farting really hard right now
  4. Between Baez and Bryant, I don't think we'll see any La Stella starts - he'll be a lefty bat on the bench Without Szczur though our righty options on the bench ain't great...some combo of Ross, Baez and Almora
  5. I guess Szczur swoon down the stretch really cemented him off the roster - also Almora is way better defensively and that's probably most of the role Matty would have.
  6. With the season wrapped up I dont get why the season stats mode isn't the default
  7. i'm gonna get drunk as horsefeathers at wrigleyville north and eat hot dogs from the diner grill and maybe pet a dog because there's usually a dog in there
  8. Games 1 and 3 are setting up to be amazingly good pitching match ups. We just gotta squeeze one out against Cueto tomorrow, I feel extremely confident about Hendricks vs. whatever trash they throw out, and then we have Arrieta vs. Bumgarner in a closing, or at least decisive, game. I'm going full meatball now.
  9. i can't believe how much doomsaying is in the last few pages i feel serene and satisfied and quite confident
  10. welp i guess we're gonna see Even Year [expletive] They'll be a worthy foe Connor fuckin Gillespie
  11. I hate Familia because we twice had that dude on the ropes with 0 outs and he finagled his way out of it, so I irrationally think he's a bum
  12. In a do or die game how do you manage your ace's pitch counts here? both of them over 100
  13. God, how do we face neither of these pitchers in the playoffs
  14. god i hate him i'm now firmly rooting against the giants because i hate this guys face
  15. I would ritually sacrifice a small animal to give Jake good ju-ju for 3 weeks
  16. you had maybe the greatest 10 year stretch of anybody of working age at the beginning there 2005-2006 was a lot of fun, everything past that was pretty blah 2010-2013 or so was just a series of kicks in the nuts, except for that playoff win against a 7-9 Seattle team
  17. It's a crapshoot but every round we're going to be reasonably-to-excellently favored so you take it one round at a time, and we'll be like something like 65% favored in our first match up so its whatever Its like if you're playing X-Com and you get that 70% shot, be confident with it
  18. I've been a fan of the Bears on a serious basis for about 13 years, and there have been just a long line of busts, disappointments, flashes of brilliance, squandered talent. The Kevin White thing doesn't even bother me that much, it just further cements my slow disinterest in the Bears and the sport itself.
  19. i can't help but love the blue jays with their dingers and their swag and good god buck showalter should be fired on the spot
  20. Making it a "principle" to not pick the Cubs because they're ~~~The Cubs~~~ annoys me, I wont apologize for that
  21. "Obviously, the pick is the Cubs in the National League," quipped one NL exec. "So I like the Dodgers." "Too much hype about the Cubs," said another. "Out of principle, I won't pick them," said an AL exec. God these people are morons
  22. I don't like that wild card teams get several days to get their horsefeathers together and then another couple days before the DS. Play the day after the season, and then start the Divisional Series the next day. I say this because I've been needing meaningful baseball for more than a month now.
  23. I'll only get mad about Ortiz making the Hall of Fame if Manny Ramirez gets shut out, when he was a far superior player
  24. that looks like a very cuddly cat
  25. Whoa the Bears won a game apparently pretty handily and Hoyer looked good Huh
