It is ok to make a thread about how a player is playing bad when they're playing bad
-
I can scarcely imagine the vortex of stupid Kaplan and Haugh put together is
-
Barry Rozner is a dude that still cares about RBI and pitcher Wins, he's completely useless Though Bernstein's mechanical, slavish devotion to WAR is nearly as bad and lacks introspection and curiosity (like looking at peripherals ever)
-
its ok he's some sort of Good At Baseball Totem, wherein he emanates good baseball but he himself cannot be Good at Baseball
-
I wouldn't hold out much hope that Haren stays there
-
Oh yea, Dan Haren is on this team. Ho-hum. That's a ballsy reference, Sammy Sofa
-
I'm finding it impossible not to like the Blue Jays right now. They're a team full of dinger machines and they're taking down the Yankees. Its awesome. Definitely my #2 bandwagon team the rest of the way.

Peavy has always been a red ass, a big whiner and a big aggressive guy Good bye Peavy
-
Cubs up to 81% in playoffs odds at Fangraphs, I assume similar numbers at Baseball Prospectus when the odds are refreshed tomorrow. http://www.fangraphs.com/coolstandings.aspx

Ricketts kinda looks like Ted Cruz and it weirds me out
-
I don't even want to proclaim this the best moment of the season so far, because heck they're still ascending. But I feel very positive about this sweep of the Giants
-
It's a great time to be a Cubs fan
-
Christ almighty that was some butt clenching right there Job well done. Big sweep of a big time team. Wonder when the last time, if ever, the Cubs have had 3 4-game sweeps in a season
-
Good lord just don't give me an extra inning game I won't handle it well
-
It's gonna be so nice not seeing the Brandons or Pence again for a while (well I guess like 2 weeks) Even though the Cubs managed it this series they are so damn dangerous
-
Arrieta's ERA down to 2.38, impressive
-
Yeah, I feel uncomfortable about this too, especially since this team could use some more runs right now
-
It'd be cool for the cubs to be the beneficiary of a rain shortened game here
-
Have the Cubs scored in the first inning of every game this series? Impressive stuff
-
What if his BABIP drops 120 points like it will and he becomes an above-average hitter who sometimes plays catcher and is good for 3-4 WAR per year? Nah I'm pretty sure he's Babe Ruth reincarnated
-
That's one of the most egregious examples of revisionist history the board has ever seen. They were and are jockeying for being in the WC round or watching from home. There wasn't much player position wise they could go for other than benching a developing player for someone which I didn't think was in question. They needed struggling players to get off the hump, which is what appears to be happening. vOv At the time I was like "Ben Zobrist would be nice" and didn't really see what else they could really do
-
Yeah I mean in the grand scheme of things it's nearly impossible for them to catch the Cardjnals so you're jockeying for home in the wild card round. I suppose they coulda gone all out for Price to get another TOR rental for the playoffs but vOv They're gonna make the playoffs and hopefully add to the team in coming years and continue to make the playoffs
-
I was perfectly happy with how the Cubs approached the trade deadline considering what was being asked for and what was on offer
-
Well I'm glad they got those insurance runs lol. Even if they don't take tomorrow this has been an excellent series and a statement maker. Great gods damn team. Awesome job.

Remember that it is terrible karma to waste lead off doubles, Cubs. Do not curse yourselves by all that is good and holy
