    I just read that and then played with baseball savant numbers, and it seems like the cubs have done a good job of making good contact but without results. regression to the mean: they're due

    Fowler, Bryant, Zo gives you three righties in a row for Hill to navigate, but probably more so, since Rizzo has been struggling, Zo batting 3rd forces them to feed Bryant more then Rizzo would batting 3rd
  3. minnesotacubsfan
    ok, i take it back, people ARE overstating the soler in the OF thing (which is hard to do) I ment this: Bryant 3B Zobrist LF Rizzo 1B Baez 2B Soler RF :)))))
  4. minnesotacubsfan
    YIIIIKES well, hopefully Soler seizes this opportunity

    my wife makes a chicken tortilla that is very much a different animal from this. Here as well. however, chicken broth and corn can find their way into a really nice chicken (white chili).
  6. minnesotacubsfan
    I make the chili like I normally would, then sear the pork and throw it in for several hours. I usually make it in the morning on a Sunday and it cooks throughout the first games and is ready for around halftime of the second games. My typical recipe is very similar to what Drew Magary once wrote about and reposts every year. But I have more beans and more types of beans. Kidney, white, black you name it. The can of corn and chicken broth were both valuable additions I hadn't considered before reading his recipe. http://deadspin.com/5882376/the-drew-magary-super-bowl-chili-recipe looks tasty. however, I rely on my mothers recipe which I cannot disclose. I have tried this also, and it is basic, thick eat-with-a-fork chili that works well as a substitute http://asweetlife.org/recipes/simple-perfect-chili/

    why are you talking about the sad past. lets discuss the glorious present and future

    whats the chance of a NL DH?
  9. minnesotacubsfan
    I didn't know that chili w/o beans was actually possible. I mean, even white chili has beans. Chili w/o beans just sounds like diarrhea.

    You know, I see where we failed, we used to have loving, embellished game thread starts and the last two (including this one) have been a bit dry. Comon guys.

    Do t you get it? They're the little guys! David, to our Goliath They're clearly stealing signs, that's why they're so paranoid. That makes sense
  13. minnesotacubsfan
    Eh, I'm just tired of the narrative. If you're going to stick with Cutler, then get a coach / scheme to maximize his abilities. Jon Fox was a disastrous hire for that. And if you are going with Fox, draft a horsefeathering qb, get Cutlers replacement. Pick a horsefeathering direction.
  14. minnesotacubsfan
    Yes you draft a qb regardless of who HC/OC/ whomever is here

    My daughter sits directly next to me and asks all kinds of baseball-y questions, until she can sense the Cobs aren't doing so well and my blood pressure is on the rise. Then, she grabs the iPad and starts mine-crafting on the other side of the couch and ignores the game.

    wait, you're a jags fan? or was that some misguided projection No it was an allusion to the most famous gif on the internet* used when people say ridiuclous things* like "stop drinking during sports" *IMO http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2013/02/incredulous.gif I dont think I have ever envisioned Sofa to be anything like that gif

    Try meth. It's doing wonders for imb
  22. minnesotacubsfan
    It's going to be pretty warm Wednesday and Thursday with little or no marine influence. Also, the sun will be out for the first hour of the game. There should be a few homers in Games 4 and 5. horsefeathers it, start Soler
  23. minnesotacubsfan
    check out their splits against the dodgers and at LA. Heyward has outhit him in both instances. Now, why exactly, idk, and sample size, but it seems to me that playing Heyward might make as much sense for his bat then his D. Looking past the fact that Soler has 7 career at bats in Dodger Stadium... how is this at all relevant? relevant in the size and location of the ballpark. if Soler is hitting "would be home runs" in a park that is massive and that plays like a pitchers park at dusk because of the cooling marine air, hes likely making a lot of outs. Heyward, with obviously less power, needs luck from the BABIP gods, but may have more of a chance to get on base then Soler does. I mean, unless Soler really knocks the living horsefeathers out of the ball, hes just going to fly out. And unless Heyward finds a gap, hes likely to make a lot of outs. That being the case, I'd take Heywards defense.

    horsefeathers the bears
  25. minnesotacubsfan
    theres a fair chance, better the 75%, you'd have that broom in LF and AB if you start Soler. heres a question, if you really want to get Soler in there, why not sit Addi. Put Javy at ss, Zo and 2b and your infield D doesnt lose alot and you still a) keep RF and CF locked down and b) get (hopefully) a LH pitcher mashing god at the plate? give me two hours to decipher this and ill get back to you oklahoma is hot this time of year, huh?
