    Let's never have a game like this ever again.
  2. Ski
    I'm still waiting for us to have a game where our offense is firing on all cylinders while our starter plows through the opposition.
  3. Ski
    I formally withdraw all expectations of baseball games.

    I don't get excited when the cubs go against 5+ ERA pitchers anymore. This is what happens.

    They do it every [expletive] year. Just when you think they're going to slow down, someone like Matt Carpenter steps up until they trade him to Boston where he rots there (Allen Craig, Joe Kelly, David Freese, etc, etc, etc) I'm seriously wondering if the Cardinals have some sort of mental conditioning program in place that teaches things like patience, mindfulness, and living in the moment - eastern concepts that would help players perform well in high and lower leverage situations alike. Sure, it sounds voodoo, but practices like meditation are pretty damn helpful when you need to drown out 40,000 roaring fans and just focus on hitting a small white ball thrown at incredible speeds with a wooden bat. It allows you to isolate the task at hand and execute it.

    Wacha and Garcia are glaring examples of FIP/ERA disparity, but Martinez is still within three quarters of a run, and it's not like Lackey being .3 runs below is inconceivable for a pitcher. If anything, we could only say the latter two are getting a little lucky, but not outlandishly so.

    The [expletive] Twins scored 8 tonight. And 4 in the ninth. Aren't the Twins good, though? More that they've been insane with runners in scoring position recently.

    Cubs have a .286 wOBA and a 79 wRC+ with runners in scoring position. Is anyone else not surprised by this?

    I think Kendall hit a double with us one time, actually.
  11. Ski
    Getting really sick of Castro.

    Let's beat the teams we're supposed to beat, please. Yes, I know baseball doesn't work like that. I just wish that if teams like the Astros and Twins can go on unprecedented runs, why can't we have any of that same magic?

    I broke my tv remote when Dempster gave up that grand slam in the 2008 NLDS. Granted, those were higher stakes.

    Pappasito's serves the best shrimp. They're bacon wrapped, with a sliver of jalapeno, stuffed with cheese and grilled to perfection. [expletive], that makes me want to take a piece of shrimp, put it next to a jalepeno popper, and wrap the pair in bacon. The Cubs remember that their offense isn't horrible and score 7 runs. Wada does the good pitching thing and we win 7-3.

    Maddon, why? Castro is soooo bad right now. I preferred the days of batting Montero cleanup.
  16. Ski
    Good teams are supposed to beat worse teams, except when we lose 4 out of 6 to the Brewers.
  17. Ski
    Also, I refuse to believe that the offense is genuinely this bad. Probably freaking out in the heat of the moment, but eh.
  18. Ski
    Also, so surprised we didn't score a leadoff batter from second.
  19. Ski
    Bench Castro. Seriously, he sucks.
  20. Ski
    Scherzer has one of those Arrieta games where we expect him to be awesome, but ends up giving up four or five runs. Cubs win 6-2.
  21. Ski
    Oh hey, maybe we can't expect to reliably win baseball games by scoring one [expletive] run.
  22. Ski
    I think we should be able to reasonably expect more than one run a game from the offense. Still waiting on that stress-free blowout game.
  23. Ski
    Switch Castro and Russell.
  24. Ski
    Goldschmidt is thrown a meatball, hits it out of the park. Rizzo is thrown a meatball, pops it up. Of course.
  25. Ski
    [expletive] horrible display today.
