  1. Yeah...this is gonna be one of those games
  2. Cool just make every sliding catch just do that thanks
  3. Oh my god Rizzo taking Castro's walk up music is hilarious and very sweet
  4. I like 2nd inning Lester very much. Bring on 2nd inning offense
  5. Ugh I really don't want this to become one of "those" games but I'm getting the feeling its going to be one of those games
  6. Be good unhittable Lester and not fall behind every hitter Lester please
  7. Jeez Votto had a >.500 OBP in the second half last year? He might be one of the most underrated players in the whole league over the course of his career
  8. Taco Bell is better Walk, like, literally two-three blocks in any direction from the stadium and go anywhere else, you lazy humps. You got Dimos like a block down and you can get any sort of crazy slice of pizza, thats actually *good* too
  9. Arizona must be punished for its insolence
  10. Ugh I hate the [expletive] Dbacks Don't settle for a tie against these schmoes
  11. I feel like if I start praising La Stella I'm going to break whatever magic is allowing him to play average to above average baseball so I will continue to complain about him
  12. Montero is becoming a doubles machine I love it
  13. Somehow the Cubs have managed to solve that juggernaut that is Jean Segura today
  14. I watched the first inning just thinking "God I love this team"
  15. I laughed when I looked at the score because, of course, they blew those early chances and that's just the kind of mad logic this game has. Also the Diamondbacks are annoying as hell.
  16. this whole "Jean Segura" thing can end whenever the universe wants it to. Its getting annoying.
  17. While not comparable because of expectations, this *feels* a lot to me like the 2006 broken wrist injury Derrek Lee got roughly the same time into the season. Just a huge gutshot for a dude expected to have a huge year. This team will endure this, probably better than any other team in the league, but this sucks.
  18. Losing Schwarber to a combo of Soler/Baez more starts for La Stella and all I dont think can cost us more than 1-2 wins. The 2.2 WAR projection for Schwarber may be a bit pessimistic, but I don't think he was going to give us anything approach 5+ WAR, if he gave us the .850 OPS of last year plus minus defense that's roughly what I was expecting for this year. I also may think much more positively of Soler and Baez than some on these boards though.
  19. I'm very much with David in that I don't feel like this does *too* much for the Cubs overall chances this year, but I feel real bad for Schwarber. And, myself, because I like watching him hit majestic dong shots that send historical rivals back home. I was hoping we were in the clear when they were checking his ankle, but confirmation that they're much more concerned with his knee... :beg:
