ChiCargo Cubs - AKA that bad man can't hurt you anymore
Derwood replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I remember Trachsel most for taking forever between pitches. It became a running joke and broadcasts sometimes clocked him. Hilarious stuff I remember him most for having a very Chatwoodian 6.1 IP, 1 H, 6 BB performance in the Wild Card tiebreaker game in 98 And then Tapani cane out of the pen and tried to blow it -
Weird, it’s almost like the Houston paper printed a blurb about it, just like I said.
-
The amount of victim blaming in various comment sections on this story is absurd (not here)
-
Bucknor, you beautiful man
-
Heyward, who stands 24 feet from the plate, has to straighten up on an inside pitch to not get hit. Bucknor: Strike!
-
That pitch has been a strike all night
-
Or so they tell you. It's an impressive work if that's the case, since they haven't changed any of the other ones in years to fool me. There are 30ish members with "custom" monikers, though half of them are along the lines of "my old username was XXX" Apparently Roast's is "Maximo Ali"
-
Oh, Contreras, why
-
That's just your steroids talking well I guess we’ll see when we never ever ever ever hear if the kid is ok. Never change. See you in 3 months with your next horsefeathers post
-
I am horsefeathering convinced you are a performance artist that is trying to be wrong about every single thing on the internet as some type of thought experiment. horsefeathering crap dude. That's just your steroids talking
-
No way. That was a really emotional scene and Albert's reaction both when it happened and an inning later makes it very newsworthy. Well if the parents choose not to share the kid's status, there is no story, so we'll see.
-
Really, really hope this is the case. Almora breaking down in tears out of relief instead of bad news is the best news we can hope for
-
Unfortunately, the only way anyone hears an update about the kid is if something tragic happens. Unless the Houston newspaper prints a blurb about how the kid is doing okay, we're unlikely to hear anything
-
Yes. This shouldn't be left up to the owners. And it shouldn't take someone dying to make it happen (I'm looking at you, NHL) People always argue it away with some variation of, "well, you should be paying attention to the game/stay off your phones/don't bring kids to those seats." Outside of the obvious reasons why the latter is beyond dumb for a sport that desperately needs kids to be into it, the whole "pay attention" way of blaming the victim is nonsense when the entire experience is designed by the teams to distract you. What, all the vendors and foods and drinks and scoreboard stuff aren't also competing for attention during the game? Come on. Tangentially, people who say "real men don't bring baseball gloves to games" can pound sand. Having a glove on can save someone from serious injury.

Michael Brantley can stop please
-
I"m hping that the fact that the fans seem to be watching the game and aren't monitoring where that Almora foul hit means that things aren't dire
-
They all should have a while ago. Yes. This shouldn't be left up to the owners. And it shouldn't take someone dying to make it happen (I'm looking at you, NHL)
-
That's scary
-
Homers are great. Maybe we should try hitting some with men on base some time
-
Not if Almora's arm stinks* * I don't actually know if his arm stinks
-
Bucknor's strike zone better be this wide for Kyle
-
I'll take any cheap homer this dumb ballpark wants to give us. Also, Bryant struck out on 5 balls
-
Bryant back, though
