    Javy non-K please.
  2. Little Slide Rooter
    Miggy did not appreciate the premature jubilation on the part of the pitcher.
  3. Little Slide Rooter
    Just noticed that awful white middle infielder is in the game and Russell is no longer. Reason?
  4. Little Slide Rooter
    Boy, Rizzo's in quite a slump.
  5. Little Slide Rooter
    That sounds like something Brad Pitt Billy Beane would do, not Billy Beane Billy Beane. It''s a well known fact that Jeremy Giambi was randomly gyrating atop a folding table to the delight of his team mates when he was informed that he had been traded.
  6. Little Slide Rooter
    Guess we know who won that trade.

    Apparently, Javy wrote mlb.com's headline :lol: http://mlb.com/r/article?ymd=20150901&content_id=146626188&vkey=news_chc&c_id=chc

    If we were to retain one of these two at a reasonable cost, which would it be? Fowler Switch Hitter 2016 age: 30 2015 Line: .257/.353/.432 15 HR 2.5 WAR Career (8).269/364/.421 14.3 WAR Jackson RH 2016 age: 29 2015 line: .272/.312/.387 8 HR 1.3 WAR Career (6) .273/.334/.400 22.0 WAR Have to love Jackson's career 7.3 dWAR, though his 3.4 in 2011 definitely skews it upward. But it's never been in the negative, whereas Fowler's has been virtually ever year (-4.0 career)

    Tommy LaStella is like every small, white middle infielder ever rolled into one small, white package.
  10. Little Slide Rooter
    I hate relief pitchers.
  11. Little Slide Rooter
    Baez, Bonifacio, and Berry are out of Iowa's lineup tonight. Though with the Jackson acquisition, it's not impossible that one or both of Bonifacio and Berry stay put.
  12. Little Slide Rooter
    I know, right? Hendry would have got Joe Blanton and Johnny Gomes and only given up 3 of our top 10 prospects.
  13. Little Slide Rooter
    Have u an affinity for Mike Olt that I wasn't aware of?
  14. Little Slide Rooter
    Or Matt Sczcur And he's prettier than Bruce Vilanche.
  15. Little Slide Rooter
    It's not a sign of anything. He's guaranteed $30,657,000 over the next 4 years (which was praiseworthy this time last year.) Not exactly a low risk.
  16. Little Slide Rooter
    Ramirez pitched yesterday for Tenn, so I assume he'll be in the next few weeks.
  17. Little Slide Rooter
    I have no link, but I was reading something not long ago saying that Jake would like to remain in Chicago long term, and 'would not ask for astronomical money.' A quote that no doubt lead Boras' computer screen becoming coffee splattered.
  18. Little Slide Rooter
    And I had no idea that the Dodgers were just no hit by Mike Fiers 9 days ago.
  19. Little Slide Rooter
    That happened.

    Have any of the big guys, such as BP, BA, or Callis had anything to say about Almora's second half? I can't find anything.
  23. Little Slide Rooter
    Did Gleybar Torres and Jeffey Baez pull some Trading Places/Freaky Friday [expletive]?
  24. Little Slide Rooter
    I had this crazy dream that Randy Wolf still pitched professionally.
  25. Little Slide Rooter
    They made him leave before completing 5. I'm sorry that variance didn't go our way tonight, like it has about 10 times already this month. Oh, I know. What's more frustrating is the fact that the Cardinals and Pirates, two teams also prone to baseball variance, don't [expletive] lose. They've been winning all the matchups they're supposed to win. So have we. You probably aren't supposed to win series against the Dodgers and Giants at their place. Based on pitching matchups the Cubs had the favorable matchup in 3 games, disadvantage in 2 games and probably a push in 1 (peavy/hendricks). We lost the push game and by virtue of playing in 2 very tough parks to win you probably lose a game you shouldn't have This, this, this. I dread this trip for every reason imaginable. Regardless of what happens, we go home with a 3.5-5.5 game cushion. In other words, I need to turn this game off 2 innings ago.
