  1. Anthony Rizzo: Somehow San Diego Padre-era Anthony Rizzo
  2. Almora mixes the most annoying aspects of Soriano and Fowler (hops and chest catches)
  3. ....this might be the last cubs game for the next 6 months and most certainly the last time you'll see Jake arrieta pitch as a cub. Yeah, I'm good. I'll be asleep by the 4th inning. I went to bed after the fifth last night and feel good about that decision
  4. I'm not going to make it to the end of this game. I'm nodding off here
  5. It can't be worse than the Louisville broken leg in the NCAA Tourney, right?
  6. Heck no. Every hitter has it within his power to make teams stop playing the shift. They just don’t do it. If I were manager I’d force everyone to bunt into the shift. Especially rizzo. He gets a more severe shift than most. Opposing teams would be thrilled if our perennial 30 HR 100 RBI player would just drop bunts all game
  7. I'm convinced Happ fell in a hole a week ago and they're just lowering buckets of chicken to him instead of rescuing him
  8. Look at the crowd reactions: http://a4.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2017%2F1017%2Fr275441_1296x729_16-9.jpg&w=800&h=320&scale=crop&cquality=80&location=origin
  9. They're saying broken ankle. Doesn't sound as bad as described, and maybe a blessing that its an ankle and not a leg?
  10. This LeonDurham guy used to be someone else, right? I feel like this is an old banned poster
  11. Whereas I usually have to fight hard not to fall asleep during these games
  12. Carried out on a stretcher. Terrible. I hope to never see the photos or video
  13. The more I read about this Crew story, the scummier the owner comes off. He never asked for public funds, he purposely got a clause in the sales contract in 2013 giving him the ability to move to Austin, and as of today, he's refusing refunds to fans who bought 2018 season tickets
  14. Despite logically understanding exactly why the schedule is why it is, I'm still irrationally annoyed that the games in Chicago start LATER than the ones in LA
  15. Columbus is pissed about this (predictably), especially as an original member of MLS. I haven't followed the team too closely, and don't remember much press about ownership asking for a new stadium, especially a "downtown" venue (besides, Mapfre Stadium is within spitting distance of downtown as is, with parking and easy highway access. )
  16. Was Victor Cruz so awful that he wouldn't be an upgrade?
  17. There is no going back to fix things. The future is set in motion. We are doomed That was 2015, stop living in the past
  18. There is no going back to fix things. The future is set in motion. We are doomed
  19. Ok.....but why go with four 8-team divisions instead of going like the NFL and do eight 4-team divisions?
  20. This is not a good start to a turn-around game thread
