    Someone needs to remind Lackey that he isn't this good.
  2. Ski
    And this is his rookie season. Imagine if Bryant is an average 8-9 WAR player over the next six years. Swoons.
  3. Ski
    Obvious facetious jokes aren't well-received here.

    Arrieta will struggle mightily in this game, giving up an inside-the-park grand slam bunt in the first inning after he walks the bases loaded on full counts when the umpire doesn't call borderline strikes. The Cubs make a bid to come back in the game, as Lackey never strikes out a batter and every ball in play averages 90 MPH off the bat, but all of them hit directly at Cardinals fielders. Lackey completes the perfect game when Jason Heyward scales the wall to rob a home run off the bat of Starlin Castro, the third home run he'd been robbed of that day. Crippled by having his solid contact go unrewarded all game, Starlin Castro descends into a spiral of rampant alcoholism and never has an errorless game at short with the Cubs again. He's traded to the Cardinals in the offseason, sobers up thanks to the unbelievable support of his teammates and learning the miraculous 'Cardinal Way' and becomes the first player since Ted Williams to hit .400 in a season. That's the worst possible outcome for this game.

    Just take two out of three against the Cardinals, and I'll be happy.
  6. Ski
    That's baseball. Doesn't make it any less frustrating, though.
  7. Ski
    I'm out. [expletive] this game.
  8. Ski
    I long for the day when batters don't have to adjust their approach based on the whims of the homeplate umpire.
  9. Ski
    Coghlan hasn't been thrown a strike yet.
  10. Ski
    Just [expletive] christ, swing the [expletive] bat. It wasn't even a good pitch.
  11. Ski
    Another day of not scoring off a mediocre pitcher, I guess.

    It's not like marching up to Lester and saying "You need to suck less often" is going to magically make him improve, but regardless, he really does need to be more consistent. He's been good... Maybe three out of five starts?
  13. Ski
    Naturally, Russell's ball doesn't find a gap.
  14. Ski
    Well, [expletive]. We'd better do some damage against Frias today.
  15. Ski
    Szczur aside, that lineup isn't too bad.
  16. Ski
    Did David get hacked?
  17. Ski
    Imagine if we were all Oakland fans. Two of us would have died from heart attacks already.
  18. Ski
    We beat Kershaw and Greinke. Time for the Cubs to go on a tear.
  19. Ski
    Denorfia is incredibly well-spoken.
  20. Ski
    Logic said we wouldn't score there! [expletive] YOU LOGIC
  21. Ski
    CUBS WIN!
  22. Ski
    Damnit, couldn't it have slipped out of Gonzo's hand?
  23. Ski
    Yes! Good eye, Fowler! Now, just score one, Cubs...
  24. Ski
    A hit!
  25. Ski
    Cubs have been making hard contact all game and have nothing to show for it.
