  1. I missed it, what happened? Mostly chants based on never forgetting ww2 It was pretty bad. If you want to check it out, it starts at the 40 second mark
  2. Baez was just 1 for 4, but no K's.
  3. He lives!!! And Alcantara walked.
  4. Can't believe they didn't have Nate bunting there.
  5. If Rivero ever has to hit, instead of using a bat, would he be allowed to take a ball into the batter's box and throw that ball at the pitcher's ball? He'd be unstoppable.
  6. Damn. Brett RT'ed someone saying cramps, that's where I got that. Not sure how much info that person actually had.
  7. Man, if Baker wasn't playing so well, we could have Lopez up on the big league team.
  8. Absolute ass-blasting by Hendricks. 8IP 3H 0BB 11K.
  9. Apparently it's just cramps.
  10. Springtime For Kyle. http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view3/2139396/springtime-for-hitler-o.gif
  11. In other words, no matter what, even if the Cubs make the playoffs every year after this year, Kyle is going to keep his act up until *at least* 2018.
  12. *hugs* bro. We cool again. *hugs back* Most action Kyle has gotten in years. Sorry Kyle. I don't hate you.
  13. Everything I've seen about Gordon (which hasn't been much) has been about his glove. Is his bat mediocre or just not as impressive as his glove?
  14. That is pretty much how the baseball world worked, and failed, for decades before smart people supposedly figured out better ways to do things. The age old "Scouts vs. some vague thing Kyle started saying" debate.
  15. Aside from 1 month (including the AFL), Almora's bat has been very good.
  16. I think Bruno will be a better 2B option than Watkins and Barney next year. Unless we're able to find and resuscitate the corpse of Baez, I'd like Bruno and Valbuena to share time at 2B. (this was in response to SCS)
  17. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Iyz8Xp98A5M/TQfQzn7jZQI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ddPle5Z7zHA/s320/teacher-boner.jpg
  18. But if he's defecting, wouldn't that mean that he doesn't really admire them?
  19. This is roughly the equivalent of Mr. Burns replacing Strawberry with Homer to get the rightly/lefty matchup. EDIT: And it works this time, too!
  20. Looks like Johnson didn't like waiting until the 3rd.
  21. You mean the order? That's not uncommon with rehabbing relievers. It looks like they wanted to ensure Vizcaino got an inning too so he pitched before Johnson(and struck out 3 while also giving up a 3B). I figured that's what it was with Veras, but then when I saw Vizcaino in the 2nd, I got a bit worried/confused. Johnson is in now, all is clear.
  22. It was impossible to have sustained success because they drafted really poorly under him which is so dumbfounding when you consider he was a freakin farm director It doesn't take abandoning all hope of competitiveness for 3 years to not draft like a [expletive] moron. Regarding next year, I can't see it happening without Baez and Bryant playing key roles, and I firmly believe they will not see the bigs until we've sucked another pre-FA year out of them meaning we have no intention of competing next season. They drafted poorly, developed poorly, and changed their mind on what type of organization they wanted to build every 6 months. Hendry made a lot of good trades/signings, but his hit rate wasn't high enough to make up for the things he did poorly. As for next year, I think enough good/decent prospects will be ready to contribute that they'll make a couple big signings. Adding a couple good hitters to the hitters that are already good, adding an additional SP, and adding Vizcaino and Rivero to the bullpen, I think we'll be playing meaningful games in Sept. If next year is like this year, or only slightly better, I'll admit that I'm a gullible idiot. How would that mean you're a gullible idiot? WTF? For believing they would start spending money, etc. Is it really that complicated?
