  1. Today is everyone get fat on bad pitching day. I like that day.
  2. Also I recognize maybe 5 names on that Oakland line up. Dreadful. Should be a shut out or a negative run game for them.
  3. Well, we got 2 months to see what we got in Soler I'm getting pretty damn fatigued by him in total though. 3 years in a row with leg injuries (twice hamstrings), and flashes of brilliance in between mediocre and terrible play. There's still a good chance he becomes a monster or even just a useful above average player, but I liked the 6 weeks or so I forgot he was on the team.
  4. Dillon Overton is definitely the name of a comic book character that is destined to fall into a vat of chemicals and become a wittily named supervillian. The Overton Window or something. Anyway he has a 9 ERA so that means he'll throw 7 IP of 0 R ball before the Cubs score 5 runs in the 8th and win.
  5. I have now decided I no longer what Robot Umps, I want Cyborg Umps
  6. I, also, had no idea the Rockies were anywhere near a playoff spot. Go Rockies! I don't feel anything towards the Giants but I am feeling like Even Year [expletive] is some sort of unstoppable black magic and want to everywhere away from it
  7. I gotta say I couldn't be more pleased that currently the Cards and Mets would be shut out of the playoffs if they started today. Going off the David-metric of who would it suck the most to lose to in the ~40% chance we lose in the opening series, both of them would be the most annoying to me. I'd imagine a lot of ya'll would hate the Marlins showing up and fluking their way to a series win, but for whatever reason I don't hold as much ill-will towards them (and also 2003-04 was only when I started vaguely starting to watch so my emotional attachment wasn't totally cemented yet). I also think they'd be the most inferior team to be in the playoffs and we'd miss Fernandez until later in the series, so that would be a nice tiny edge. (Though the Cubs showed how important missing the Ace for game 1 was last year)
  8. bet they're happy with signing Zack Greinke for a billion dollars now
  9. Joe Nathan saying "wow" as he walks off the mound is so lol. That's gotta be one of the worst strike calls in history, given the situation and count. My god, that is just horrific.
  10. This is very satisfying after them coming back on us like a million times in a 4 game series when we ere scuffling
  11. hahahahahahah this team is ridiculous love it
  12. We should probably have the lead right now with merely mediocre umpiring
  13. Let's hope Bryant's head is ok, he's looked kinda funky since getting shaken up
  14. This team from innings 7-9 is absolutely terrifying offensively btw
  15. Unfortunately a walk brings up the K crew
  16. Rodney can barely throw a strike, Christ almighty can't that be part of the contingency plan when planning on bunting?
  17. Remember when we all knew Fernando Rodney was probably bad but he continued to be effective for a long time anyway Anyway he's still bad and vulnerable
  18. The post-break team has been very relaxing and consistent. Basically .666 ball with no streaks.
