  1. You normally look for the pitcher to be demoralized in shots like that. Watch the catcher though, it is hilarious how he slumps to the side.
  2. He means 2007. We clinched at Cincy that year. I was at the game, and Cubs fans had completely taken over the park. It's no surprise pantywaist Thom got all pissy about it. Whatever night it was (I am getting old!) we beat Cincinnati and the Brewers lost that same night to give us the division. I remember the Brewers were winning and the score flipped to them losing and the crowd got really loud. It shocked all of the Cubs players who turned around and looked at the scoreboard. I also DVR'd the game and watched it later. Thom was cranky in the broadcast too. They showed my wife several times when they were complaining about the number of Cubs fans there.
  3. LOL woops, was 2008. It has been awhile
  4. Yeah, at this point, it is a hard pass on Gray.
  5. Thom has a hissy fit every time the Cubs are in town. Wife and I went to a game back in 2009 and we clinched the division that night. I remember listening to the radio as we left and he was just going off on how many Cubs fans were at the game and was disgusted by it. How dare they come to our house and have more people here kind of stuff. We waited for the team to come out after the game was over, but the Reds turned off the stadium lights on us lol.
  6. Is Bryant starting to get the Harper treatment? Pitchers really seem to nibble the edges and he is so good at laying off.
  7. They've been making a big deal out of it, so I would say yes. Baseball Tonight is scheduled before the game. I can't imagine they will do more than just some live look-ins.
  8. I was just poking at the language/math of saying Russell would be the "best one of the three" when he was not one of the three to begin with. "Rizzo's Song" is going to be a real tear jerker. :clapping:
  9. The Molina stuck ball: http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/cardinals-surrender-lead-due-to-yadier-molina-being-ext-1794089040
  10. Did the Cardinals hire Joe Buck and John Smoltz as consultants this season? Run on those Cubs if you want to win the division! Please try Cardinals. I want to see more Javy tags and Contreras back-picks.
  11. I have a sudden urge to create a new account.
  12. I'd love to see a highlight video of all the caught-stealing and pickoffs we had in the playoffs. It was hilarious listening to Joe Buck and John Smoltz go on and on about how the other team should constantly steal on us as we continued to pickoff or throw out runners. Heck throw in some of the throws to home we nailed people on too.
  13. I was a nervous wreck before going to game 5 of the WS, and my wife was in worse shape. I have a horrible record of watching the Cubs live. They have lost about 80% of the games I have been to. After that beating in game 4, I was faced with the Cubs possibly losing the Series in the game I went to. :barf: I kept telling myself that even if they lost the Series that game, I was going to get to see the Cubs play in the World Series.
  14. Both the NLDS and the NLCS were awesome because of moments like Kershaw collapsing or Law crying. Those dagger moments when the other team finally realizes they are not going to win is so much fun. Sadly, we didn't quite get that in the WS thanks to the Indians being a much better team than the Giants or the Dodgers, but we did get to see Napoli blank staring at the celebration. I really wanted to see Kipnis crying after his trash talking before game 6 and game 7.
  15. This game was probably generally more exciting, but watching WS Game 5 in the bleachers with the KB homer and 2 2/3 innings of nothing but tension from Chapman was absolutely nuts as well. I would imagine any home playoff win this year would go down as the best game you'd ever been to though. I was also in the bleachers for Game 5 of the WS. The whole game was amazing. It was an elimination game. Lester starting, Chapman pitching forever, KB Homer, Heyward climbing the wall and the Rizzo/Ross bobble play. The game had everything a Cubs fan could want. It was such an amazing feeling after that horrible beating they got in game 4. Game 5 was also the turning point in the series. I mean a freaking WS game win at Wrigley! Not many can say that :yahoo:
  16. cut to the playoffs this year when dex hits a gapper and rounds the bases, bat still in hand, knee capping Rizzo, Russell, and Bryant Why wouldn't he kneecap Baez? Have you seen Baez's swim move?????? He would totally dodge it.
  17. I don't want Feldman, but the idea of having Scott Feldman, and possibly bouncing San Francisco out of the playoffs again, while poor Samardzija watches is on is highly amusing.
  18. This off-season has been so ho-hum after winning the World Series. Such a great euphoria of winning followed by a big snooze-fest.
